From Florida silencing LGBTQ students, to Texas and other states targeting trans kids, the rights of LGBTQ Americans—and especially LGBTQ kids—are still under attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #Pride2022 to the LGBTQ community in Illinois and across the country! #PrideMonth is rooted in challenging the status quo. We've made enormous strides in the past few decades, but until everyone can be who they are and love who they love, #Pride will always be a protest. https://t.co/ZLVvWYdG4y — PolitiTweet.org

Vladimir Kara-Murza is a fearless Russian patriot and leader for democracy. By passing this resolution, we honor his work and call for his immediate release, along with Alexei Navalny and so many other Russian political prisoners. https://t.co/VOpvrkcuNG — PolitiTweet.org

Today I visited @siusom to announce $2 million in new federal funding @SenDuckworth and I secured for SIU to help build a workforce that meets our evolving needs and provide quality health care to our rural communities. https://t.co/8EbQPoa87r — PolitiTweet.org

By passing this bipartisan resolution, the Senate is sending a clear message to our Baltic friends: we stand with you in upholding democratic values abroad. And we will support you as you defend against Russian aggression. https://t.co/WmZarPDYLO — PolitiTweet.org

As we mourn those lost in the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, we face the reality that gun violence has now become the leading cause of death for American children & teens. Let that sink in. @JudiciaryDems will hold a hearing on June 15 focused on gun violence and kids. https://t.co/bSCx7Srf9L — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I joined a group of doctors & young leaders at @LurieChildrens to discuss the epidemic of gun violence & the toll this trauma has on our youth. Whether in Uvalde or Chicago, these shootings are a public health crisis. Congress must act on sensible investments & reforms. https://t.co/J7yKfQ8N04 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The insensitivity and deception of the FBI agents in this matter may not have been criminally actionable, but it was morally unforgivable. @JudiciaryDems will continue its oversight and legislative work in an effort to prevent such abuses in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Kissinger once again shows his twisted view of the world by calling on Ukraine to spare Putin the embarrassment of defeat. As Ukrainians fight and die, Kissinger worries about Putin’s feelings. I worry about the Ukrainian people who have paid for their nation in blood. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm on the Senate floor, urging Senators to support my Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. #DTPA Watch live: https://t.co/FcH3zl8Uue — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Buffalo. El Paso. Poway. Pittsburgh. On and on. In every corner of our nation, communities are bonded in the trauma and devastation that follows violent acts of white supremacist terrorism. It's time we finally take action with the urgency these victims deserve and pass my #DTPA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m grateful to the President for working with both the civil rights community and law enforcement to craft this measure. However, a set of policies will not erase generations of systemic racism. We all must continue to actively work to build a more just and equitable America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The House did its job in 2020 and passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Unsurprisingly, Senate Republicans refused to join Democrats to pass meaningful police reform legislation. So today, President Biden took action and signed this important Executive Order. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Two years ago, George Floyd died on the streets of Minneapolis with the knee of a police officer on his neck—an image that haunts me to this day. The injustice of his killing is undeniable. And so is the fact that systemic racism continues to plague America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am once again live on the Senate floor, calling—begging—for my Republican colleagues to wake up and help Democrats do something about the scourge of gun violence in this nation. Watch: https://t.co/eo0BjBQQfk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Straw-purchased guns are involved in the deaths of far too many Americans—including the murder of CPD Officer Ella French. Once confirmed, I look forward to working closely with Steven Dettelbach and @ATFHQ to crack down on the straw purchasing of firearms across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today @JudiciaryDems is considering the nomination of Steve Dettelbach to lead @ATFHQ. The very least Republicans can do in the wake of another tragedy is work with Democrats to confirm this highly qualified nominee. ATF has been leaderless since 2015. That needs to change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Yesterday, 19 innocent children and 2 teachers were gunned down in an elementary school in Texas. I wish I could say something like this had never happened before. Or will never happen again. But I know better. And until the Republican Party decides to care, nothing will change. https://t.co/1uXMDo1N4Y — PolitiTweet.org
