This jobs report is a strong indicator that Americans are getting back to work in record numbers. But there is more work to do. If Republicans are serious about getting prices under control, then they should work with Democrats to lower costs and create more jobs for Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I’m working with colleagues to include the INFORM Consumers Act in the final House-Senate conference report for economic competitiveness legislation, which is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

It's too easy for anonymous third-party sellers to create accounts for online marketplaces like Amazon and sell high volumes of illicit goods. If a product turns out to be dangerous, counterfeit, or stolen, consumers need to know who sold it to them and demand accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I joined @Janschakowsky, consumer protection advocates, and local business leaders at @Walgreens in Chicago to discuss the INFORM Consumers Act, which ensures a baseline level of transparency for online marketplaces and discourages organized retail crime. https://t.co/z4qA6JXwJC — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue pushing for additional federal funding so Covenant House and others can support the effort to combat youth homelessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I joined community leaders at @CovenantHouseIL to celebrate the opening of their new East Garfield Park location, which will increase their capacity to serve youth experiencing homelessness in Chicago. https://t.co/1gAiiawqJe — PolitiTweet.org

COVID therapeutics are lifesaving drugs that should be available to anyone who meets the criteria—incarcerated or not. This pandemic has hit America’s prisons especially hard, and BOP should be doing everything it can to safeguard the health of the men and women in its custody. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank goodness we have an Admin that believes in environmental justice. These efforts are critical to fighting the climate crisis & protecting underserved communities. Here in the Senate, I'll be working with my @EJusticeCaucus colleagues to make the Admin's goals a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It is imperative that we treat international human rights as not just an aspirational concept, but a legal reality. Our bill will clarify Congress’s intent to ensure that human rights violators within the jurisdiction of our courts can be held to account by their victims. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see Illinoisan Kathryn Huff confirmed as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at Department of @Energy. She’s an outstanding nominee for this position and I have full confidence that she will serve our nation well in her new role. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

If this draft becomes the majority opinion, the Republican-appointed Justices will have shown what we've said for years: They are judicial activists beholden to an ideological agenda. These Justices were put on the bench by Pres. Trump and Sen. McConnell to deliver this outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

Invasive Asian Carp pose a real economic and environmental threat to one of our nation’s most valuable resources, the Great Lakes. That’s why I worked to increase the federal commitment for the Brandon Road Project. https://t.co/LF82IDdF3B — PolitiTweet.org

Another grim COVID milestone for the United States. Thinking of all those we lost, their families, and their friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Mongo to the Hall! He battled for the Bears, and now he’s battling ALS. The bravery of those who wake up each day and take on this terrible disease should steel our commitment to finding new treatments and a cure for ALS. https://t.co/uyEbSXQaSY — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are rightly worried about inflation and rising prices. What they may not know is that swipe fees contribute to this problem. When swipe fees on credit & debit cards go up, like they did just two weeks ago, it increases inflationary pressures—and consumers pay the price. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The recent recanting by key witnesses of allegations made against Philippines Senator Leila De Lima warrant her immediate release. The fact that she has lost five years of her life is already a travesty. It's past time she is given her freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake about it: this is about the state going into your home and telling you how to plan your family. And now, for the first time in years, Americans' right to privacy and freedom are up in the air—entirely dependent on a dubiously-obtained SCOTUS majority. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There is a reason Republicans are trying to convince you that the “leaker” is the big story today. Republicans are afraid to own the outcome they have been chasing for decades now—a post-Roe America, one where American children have fewer rights than their parents did. https://t.co/QBm8BUiUaa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In 2006, I asked then-Judge Alito if #RoeVWade was settled law. His answer? "Roe v. Wade is an important precedent... It has been challenged... [and] reaffirmed. That strengthens its value for stare decisis." What changed? A packed conservative majority. https://t.co/ItveAAdfZi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

America woke up today to the news that one of their constitutional rights is about to be taken away. And this decision could threaten other rights that Americans hold dear. @SenateDems and the nation must stand up for #RoeVWade. https://t.co/JKydDWUsgm — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans woke up to the realization that a constitutional right many have known their whole lives is on the verge of being extinguished. Regardless of the Court’s final decision, we must enshrine into law the right to make one's own reproductive health care choices. — PolitiTweet.org
