I continue to believe military-style assault weapons that can shred the bodies of their victims have no place in civilian use—but we cannot let the perfect Congressional response be the enemy of the good. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We have been elected to the United States Senate to respond to American crises. Each of the elements in this bipartisan gun safety package has the potential to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Fox News’ spineless refusal to broadcast the January 6 Committee hearing is a new low in American journalism. Fair and balanced? More like fearful and biased. — PolitiTweet.org

Patients are suffering because of these drastic price spikes. Congress must act and cap the price of Insulin at $35 a month and give Medicare the authority to negotiate drug prices on behalf of seniors and patients nationwide — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I joined officials from @ChooseMemorial and @siusom in Springfield to further discuss the need to cap the price of insulin and end the unacceptable price gouging of life-saving medicine. In some cases, the price of insulin has gone from $35 to over $300 https://t.co/afSEdFQTik — PolitiTweet.org

After last night’s opening of the January 6 Committee, it is clear that Senator McConnell’s veto of a bipartisan commission was grounded in fear that the truth of that shameless day would anger Trump. History will not be kind to that brand of political cowardice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was honored to speak this morning at the IL @VFWHQ’s 103rd Annual Illinois State Convention. I will continue to support the great work of veterans organizations like the VFW to pass the PACT Act ensuring we keep our promise to care for toxic-exposed veterans. https://t.co/O1BF4xto4H — PolitiTweet.org

Special thanks to the January 6 Committee and especially Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger. Will the Illinois Republicans in our Congressional delegation stand by him or former President Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Hats off to the January 6 Committee for a professional and timely presentation of the role of former President Trump in the mob assault on our Capitol. Those of us who lived it want this infamous chapter in American history properly analyzed and preserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After my call to action with @SenDuckworth & @RepCheri, @JusticeOIG confirmed that it has launched an investigation into the deaths & allegations of serious abuse at USP Thomson. I am shaken by these reports. The IG must get to the bottom of these allegations immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 taught us that we must improve critical public health infrastructures and our global response cooperation before the next pandemic hits. We are in this together, and with global partners like @BillGates & @gatesfoundation, I hope we can address these challenges. https://t.co/83hwHdCbu6 — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2016, I've been urging @usedgov to discharge the federal student loans of Illinoisans who were scammed out of a decent education by the predatory, for-profit Westwood College. Today, I urged @SecCardona again to finally erase the student debt of 3,600 deserving Illinoisans. https://t.co/hSW0Q5NoFq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today marks nine months past the court-ordered deadline for @US_FDA to finish reviewing e-cigarettes. Yet, kid-friendly vapes like JUUL are still on the market. If Dr. Califf feels no urgency to follow the law and a court order to protect our kids, then he should step aside. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

American families and small businesses facing economic hardship need Congress's help to get back on their feet. I look forward to President Biden signing the bill into law as soon as possible so they can have the tools they need to be successful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Hearing Mr. Whitfield tell @JudiciaryDems about his mother just weeks after she was murdered by a white supremacist in Buffalo was a solemn but powerful moment. The lives of the Buffalo victims mattered. The Senate needs to start acting like it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Every one of the Buffalo victims left behind loved ones who are grieving their loss. Garnell, son of Ruth Whitfield, is one of them. There are no words that will fill the void in his heart—but his willingness to honor Ruth's memory with action is a lesson in courage and love. https://t.co/2tff2vsjrE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed having the chance to meet with represenatives from @AMarch4OurLives today. Alongside dedicated organizations and activists like them, I will continue to push for the meaningful gun safety reform that will help save lives. https://t.co/ENAua3iQBW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The safety of all Americans, including members of our judiciary and other public officials, is our highest priority. Violence, whether it springs from extremists on the right or left on the political spectrum, is never acceptable. https://t.co/tQAzAfhDTp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Last night, President Biden signed my Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program Restoration and Recovery Act into law. When I introduced this bill, it was with the goal of giving student veterans a second chance at education. I’m proud to have helped make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Gun violence comes in many forms here in the U.S and it is going to take a lot of work to stop the violence. Enhanced background checks, limits on assault rifles, expanded trauma care, penalties for straw purchasing, the list goes on. You can count me in for all of it. https://t.co/4L1BtqAjGM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Humbling words from a brave Russian patriot languishing in Putin’s gulag. Recently, the Senate unanimously called for his and Alexei Navalny’s release—and we will not stop. https://t.co/xK4NW9Av2W — PolitiTweet.org
