Eid Mubarak! Wishing a safe and happy Eid to all those celebrating in Illinois and around the world. https://t.co/n8wON28OQJ — PolitiTweet.org

Once again commend President Biden for not taking his foot off the gas when it comes to providing aid to Ukraine. We must continue to support these brave freedom fighters for as long as Putin’s vicious, unprovoked war persists. https://t.co/Yq4DN6ZHjI — PolitiTweet.org

Americans deserve to know what is in their dietary supplements. That’s why I am leading bipartisan legislation to bring improved safety and transparency to the dietary supplement market. https://t.co/d6xITSjTSA — PolitiTweet.org

I’m honored to accept the Graham Taylor Champion of Change Award at today’s @ChicagoCommons Spring Luncheon. I commend Chicago Commons for their dedication to empower individuals to overcome barriers and create better futures for themselves and their families. https://t.co/HY7cXLlxgx — PolitiTweet.org

The funding for CTA will help with plans to house electric buses and charging infrastructure. The funding for IBEW will support its career training program at local high schools and create a pathway to enter the renewable energy industry. I’m excited for Illinois’ EV future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I spoke at @ibew_134 about federal funding I secured for both IBEW’s Renewable Energy Infrastructure Training Program and @CTA’s 103rd St. Garage Electric Bus Initiative. https://t.co/4TqjHgKAzq — PolitiTweet.org

For the 9th year in a row, I am once again calling on high school principals, counselors, and teachers across IL to warn college-bound students and their families about the dangers of #4profit colleges. They're a direct threat to these students and should be treated as such. https://t.co/yGaYoybdbT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Glad to see the Biden Admin. going after Russian oligarchs. If we want to hold Putin accountable for his actions in Ukraine, then we have to go after the massive ill-gotten wealth that his cronies and enablers have amassed across the western world. https://t.co/wTCGqUkpmj — PolitiTweet.org

On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the millions of Jews and other innocent people whose lives were stolen by the hatred of the Holocaust. May we never again allow ourselves to turn a blind eye to such atrocities and crimes against humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Met with Belarussian opposition leader Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya in Washington today to discuss the situation in Belarus & Russian aggression in neighboring Ukraine. I assured her the U.S. remains committed to the brave Belarusians & Ukrainians fighting Putin’s tyranny. https://t.co/1AeT3uqkux — PolitiTweet.org

Prohibiting menthol in cigarettes and banning flavored cigars will save lives, reduce disparities, and improve health. @FDA must finalize these important regulations without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This is a long-overdue step forward. For years, Big Tobacco has added menthol flavor to mask the harshness of cigarettes, and targeted these addictive, deadly products particularly to Black smokers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The United States has a responsibility to minimize harm to civilians caused by U.S. military operations. We can & must do more to prevent harm and ensure that erroneous strikes are followed by appropriate investigations and accountability. https://t.co/w9NNJwvDfS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Was glad to see my Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program Restoration Act pass the Senate earlier this week. I hope the House soon follows suit. Predatory #4profit colleges were allowed to take advantage of far too many student veterans. They deserve this relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed having the chance to meet with 8th graders from @OldStMarysScho1 in Chicago yesterday. An impressive group of young people, I wouldn’t be surprised if any of them come back to Washington one day to take their place in the Senate or House of Representatives! https://t.co/o3iizvD9aw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Made a point of bringing up the case of imprisoned Philippine Senator Leila De Lima with @SecBlinken during today’s hearing. Her continued detention—now five years long and counting—is the direct result of Duterte’s efforts to suppress political opposition and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Had the chance to ask @SecBlinken today about efforts to bring Illinoisan Mark Frerichs home from Afghanistan, where he has spent the last two plus years in Taliban captivity. I appreciate his attention to this issue & look forward to working together to finally bring Mark home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Putin's vicious and unprovoked attack on Ukraine is indefensible. Any attempt to defend it—especially coming from a sitting U.S. Senator—is extremely unfortunate. Many other European nations were invaded and then occupied by the USSR. That doesn't mean they belong to Putin. https://t.co/wJ9Gv3ntNQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Restaurants are the lifeblood of our communities. I enjoyed meeting with @IlliniRestAssoc today to discuss how I can continue to be a strong federal partner to Illinois’ restaurant industry as it deals with the ongoing economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/2O0xM1HX2p — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In December, I led Illinois Congressional delegation Democrats in calling on Amazon to improve emergency action readiness at its warehouses. I applaud the Biden Administration for following up and further pressing Amazon to prevent another disaster like Edwardsville. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was proud to vote to confirm Justice Jackson—but equally important is filling our trial and appellate courts with qualified judges who understand the difference between the role of an advocate and a judge. All five nominees appearing before @JudiciaryDems today meet this bar. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed meeting with @SenPacioneZayas, @OmarAquinoIL2, and members of Chicago’s Puerto Rican Cultural Center today to discuss self-determination and other issues important to Puerto Rico. https://t.co/dLYuLEWhQX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pleased to join with @SenatorBraun to introduce bipartisan legislation—supported by @CRN_Supplements, @AmerMedicalAssn, and @pewtrusts—to give consumers better peace of mind about the safety of their supplements. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Americans deserve a more safe and transparent dietary supplement market, and it’s past time that Congress delivers it for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Sexual harassment and misconduct in agency ranks always demand immediate action. Any efforts by an OIG to obscure or downplay the seriousness or pervasiveness of the issue, or to improperly delay releasing evidence of misconduct, are inappropriate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed sitting down with @IHAhospitals leaders to express my gratitude for their work across Illinois. Their staff have given everything to their communities throughout the pandemic. I assured them I would continue to be a strong federal partner for our health care workforce. https://t.co/a7eTspLJ2A — PolitiTweet.org

My full statement on President Biden’s clemency grants and plan to expand opportunities for formerly incarcerated persons: https://t.co/rZKt20iPhc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Policy actions like these are critical to undoing the decades of harm that the failed ‘war on drugs’ caused—particularly in communities of color. I commend President Biden for a plan that upholds the values of dignity, fairness, and belief in second chances. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today I met with Rob Jeffreys, Director of the Illinois Dept. of Corrections, to discuss his efforts to reform programming and reentry services in our state’s correctional system. By improving our criminal justice system, we can increase public safety and reduce recidivism. — PolitiTweet.org
