Enough. After almost 100 days of the MLB lockout, it’s time to reconsider MLB’s special antitrust exemption, which allows them to act as a lawful monopoly. Fans across America deserve better. Message to the owners: unlock the lockout and play ball. — PolitiTweet.org

As Chair of the Judiciary Committee, I will be keeping a close eye on the results of this leadership change and subsequent investigations. I expect DOJ to take prompt action to address the ongoing crisis of staff misconduct—not just at Dublin, but across the Bureau. — PolitiTweet.org

As we develop climate policy, we must recognize the disproportionate impact natural disasters & inaccessible resources have on women. This week, I joined @maziehirono to intro the Women & Climate Change Act to ensure the US advances equitable climate solutions that work for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Great meeting with @ILFarmBureau yesterday to chat about the importance of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and how it will support transportation updates for farmers who rely on rail, rivers, and roads to move their goods to market. — PolitiTweet.org

This bipartisan provision will close loopholes and protect our children from being hooked on e-cigarettes. Now, FDA must use all of its tools to regulate the industries that ignited the youth vaping epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Vaping and tobacco companies have used every trick in the book to prey upon our kids & increase their profits. Glad to see my provision clarifying @US_FDA’s ability to regulate synthetic nicotine as a tobacco product has made its way into the final 2022 Omnibus bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Violence to advance any political or ideological goal is unacceptable. But we cannot have an honest discussion about hate crimes without acknowledging the role of violent white supremacists, which our intelligence has said pose the most lethal domestic terror threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

This bill also reaffirms that the Senate can work across the aisle to deliver for the American people and our postal workers. I’m eager to see this bill signed by President Biden, ushering in new support for the postal workers who provide a vital service. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With passage of the Postal Service Reform Act, we will finally address some of the root issues plaguing @USPS—including solvency and access to health care for retirees—while ensuring that Americans will continue to have six-day integrated delivery and reliable mail service. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a great nominee for the Supreme Court in Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. And we will move forward with her confirmation process starting on March 21st. https://t.co/L0K0MUboSS — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Carol Browner for winning @PureEarthNow's Force of Nature award. Carol’s tenure as the longest-serving @EPA Administrator was key to establishing numerous, essential programs protecting children’s health. I can think of no better recipient of this award. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m live on the Senate floor this afternoon, making the case for why Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the perfect jurist to replace Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court. Watch here: https://t.co/d7f3KXFZO9 — PolitiTweet.org

We have U.S. Attorneys and U.S. Marshals who are being held up by one Republican Senator. It's the height of hypocrisy to ask witnesses about "defunding the police" while engaging in a parallel move: blocking the confirmation of law enforcement officials vital to our safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I applaud @POTUS’s choice to ban Russian oil imports. We cannot continue to purchase millions of barrels of oil to help fund Putin’s war. This is another important step in tightening economic pressure on Putin and his cowardly enablers and helping the brave Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Empowering women around the world will make life better for everyone. On International Women’s Day, we recognize the amazing achievements and contributions of women throughout history.

Al-Qahtani “was tortured so badly that he was ineligible to be tried at the war crimes court.” This transfer is an important step toward finally ending indefinite detention at Guantanamo, which violates human rights & has prevented us from bringing 9/11 conspirators to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till serves as a stark reminder of what happens when hate and bigotry go unchecked. We must never forget—and never diminish—the history of lynching in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today marks the anniversary of Bloody Sunday—and our second without my friend, John Lewis. 57 years later, we can still join him on that bridge, and walk with his legacy as we work toward equal access to the ballot box. Finishing his fight is our moral mission. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I recently introduced the bipartisan VAWA Reauthorization Act with @SenJoniErnst, @SenFeinstein, and @lisamurkowski. Modernizing and reauthorizing #VAWA would prove this country’s commitment to protecting those who need help the most—something that is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Stop Russian oil exports to the United States. They represent only 4% of our oil needs but 14% of Russian world exports. We cannot let U.S. dollars fund Putin’s devastating invasion of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I am cosponsoring a bipartisan Senate bill to ban Russian energy imports in the United States. We cannot subsidize Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org
