The decision to have an abortion is deeply personal for every American. If you are interested, share your story below to help continue the fight to protect this essential freedom in Congress. https://t.co/Ty7nW6LYuF — PolitiTweet.org

Perpetrators committing unspeakable war crimes, such as those unfolding before our very eyes in Ukraine, must be held to account. We have the power and responsibility to ensure that the United States will not be used as a safe haven by the perpetrators of these heinous crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate should unite in confirming Mr. Dettelbach to lead ATF with the urgency that victims of gun violence and their families deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

For too long, the Senate has failed to provide ATF with the leadership it needs to help protect communities from gun crime and prevent tragedies like the Buffalo massacre. Steve Dettelbach has particular expertise in countering the kind of violent extremism we saw in Buffalo. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It was a great honor to have Loukas Kozonis as my guest today to hear @kmitsotakis address a Joint Meeting of Congress. Our two nations are key partners in upholding democratic values, which are also alive in Chicago’s Greek American community—of which Loukas is a big part. https://t.co/J7ODsQCIbq — PolitiTweet.org

I first introduced the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act with @RepSchneider in 2017. Hoping that now—after yet another white supremacist has massacred more innocent people—Republicans will see this threat for what it is and join us in passing this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

During Police Week, the Judiciary Cmte has traditionally voted on bipartisan bills to support law enforcement—and this year will be no different. Tune in Thursday as we pause to not just honor our nation's police officers & their families, but take action to improve their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enthralled by Sen. Ted Cruz and the MAGA Republicans, the U.S. Supreme Court once again threw our political process in a mud bath to protect the worst elements of American political corruption. https://t.co/veIu5vLieo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We don't have to look far for examples of these kinds of Republicans. The third-ranking House Republican claims that Democratic immigration policies will "overthrow our current electorate." What will it finally take for the Republican Party to condemn this hate once & for all? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Why is this so important? Because far too many Republicans jump at every chance they get to go on Carlson’s show and echo his white supremacist blather, his dark gospel of fear and hate and racism. And those same people are the ones blocking gun safety reform time and again. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The same “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory that inspired the Buffalo massacre also influenced the terror attacks in Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, and El Paso. But you may recognize it from somewhere else—Tucker Carlson's show, where it has been alluded to on 400+ episodes. https://t.co/8mRE6zLAp4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Violent white supremacists are among the most dangerous domestic terrorism threats facing the United States today. From January 6 to this weekend’s massacre in Buffalo, the problem could not be more clear to all those who are willing to look. https://t.co/mQS3DM5Jcc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The vast majority of Americans support commonsense gun safety reform. But when it comes to addressing the issue through legislation, congressional Republicans refuse to step up and act. And this nation is less safe because of it. https://t.co/C5RsY8pd2Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is a tragic loss, and a reminder of the risks journalists take to bring us the truth. I urge all parties to participate in a timely, credible, and independent investigation of the events that led to her killing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

After another weekend of bloodshed and violence in America, Congress should be coming back to Washington with one goal: keeping Americans safe. I’m live on the Senate floor, calling on my Republican colleagues to finally join Democrats in this effort. https://t.co/KX873qzDs4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While no act by Congress will bring back the lives lost in Buffalo, we can and must do more about the threat of terror in our own backyard. That begins with confronting the reality that white supremacy is fueling these violent terrorist attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Sending my best wishes to my friend, @ChrisVanHollen. Praying for a quick and full recovery—we need you in Washington! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

According to @NAMICommunicate, nearly four in 10 Americans are reporting symptoms of anxiety or depression—four times the rate prior to the pandemic. The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act was a critical and timely step Congress took to support mental health. — PolitiTweet.org

I met w/ Finnish President Sauli Niinisto @ the Munich Security Conference. Finland’s decision to seek NATO membership reflects the reality of their 800 mile border w/ Putin’s Russia & the global reaction against the invasion of Ukraine. NATO will be stronger w/ Finland & Sweden. https://t.co/KqXmRYufIF — PolitiTweet.org

I first introduced the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act in 2017 to enhance the federal government’s efforts to prevent domestic terrorism. Congress needs to come together on a bipartisan basis to ensure law enforcement has the tools they need to combat this threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The devastating scene in Buffalo is one that this nation has become far too familiar with. We must do more to combat the horrific scourge of domestic terrorism and hate crimes, including the significant threat posed by white supremacists. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

My heart breaks for the Buffalo community and for those who lost loved ones yesterday. The horror of this latest mass shooting should be a call to action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Chair of @JudiciaryDems, in honor of Police Week, I'll be bringing up legislation to support funding for community policing & law enforcement officer mental health resources. With federal/local partnership, and with a focus on mental health, we can make our communities safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Using ARP funding, Chicago invested $45 mil in community safety & violence reduction initiatives, including $20 mil for Youth Intervention Programs & $10 mil for supporting victims of crime and their families. This latest designation of funds will help improve safety in our city. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Too many communities are suffering from violent crime. The American Rescue Plan, passed by @SenateDems, has already been a lifeline for community investments in public safety, including cracking down on gun crime and illegal gun trafficking. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I'm pleased to learn that @POTUS will designate $10 billion in American Rescue Plan funds for public safety, including over $2 billion for Community Violence Intervention programs proven to prevent gun violence and save lives. https://t.co/izukcCWsvN — PolitiTweet.org

Organized retail crime threatens both businesses and consumers, which is why I introduced the INFORM Consumers Act to combat the online resale of stolen, counterfeit, and dangerous consumer products by ensuring transparency in online marketplaces. — PolitiTweet.org
