Illinois soybean farmers work hard to make our state the top soybean producer in the nation. Yesterday I had the chance to meet with some of them and discuss the agricultural strides being made in Illinois, as well as how to make the U.S. soybean market stronger than ever. https://t.co/qgLHnAY7wW — PolitiTweet.org

Just had the opportunity to sit down with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court. She is ready to make history and I look forward to a careful, fair, and professional confirmation process. https://t.co/Tf61ksgrdm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Today's nominees reflect an incredible array of professional diversity and balance—but all five are bound together by their commitment to the fair and evenhanded administration of justice, and by their knowledge of the difference between being an advocate and being a judge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The U.N. just voted overwhelmingly to denounce Russia’s barbaric military invasion of Ukraine. Putin is completely isolated with just a handful of the world’s fellow murderers in Syria and North Korea by his side. https://t.co/mRZYu2Np27 — PolitiTweet.org

As I have said from the time that Justice Breyer announced his retirement, the Committee will undertake a fair and timely process to consider Judge Jackson’s nomination. I look forward to Judge Jackson’s appearance before the Committee and to respectful and dignified hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

You started as my Senate colleague. Now you’re my President. But you’ll always be my friend. This is what leadership looks like. https://t.co/3jHO41JtAA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Beyond this critical work to be done, the President looked ahead and urged Americans to be optimistic about our future. We love our country. Let’s work together to make it better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I look forward to working with the President to deliver on his Unity Agenda to combat the opioid crisis that has plagued our country, strengthen mental health resources, support our veterans, and end cancer as we know it.nThese are bipartisan issues we can all agree on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We’ve come a long way, but we still have work to do. In his speech tonight, the President laid out a strategy to lower costs for American families, put workers and small businesses first, pass commonsense gun legislation, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thanks to his leadership with both the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, millions of people are vaccinated and we’re making a once-in-a-generation investment in our infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The American people have endured incredible hardships over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When President Biden took office, he pledged to get shots in arms, people back to work and school, and our economy back on track. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m also thankful for President Biden’s leadership. Thanks to both the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we have delivered on our promises to the nation. I look forward to all the things we will accomplish together in 2022. https://t.co/lSgNJsRtcC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

My guests to this year’s State of the Union Address have made incredible contributions to their communities. From getting people vaccinated and back to school, to distributing funds for water and sewer infrastructure, to expanding EV infrastructure, they are changing lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

That. And the only instance where we have a Senator holding up the appointment of law enforcement officials at the federal level to help deal with the crime we're talking about today is the junior Republican Senator from Arkansas. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

When I took the gavel as Chair of @JudiciaryDems, I promised to use this opportunity to address pressing issues facing our families and communities. Glad to have Cook County's Sheriff Dart join us in Washington to discuss solutions for carjackings and violent crime. https://t.co/BJiTLV7AbJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Back on the Senate floor this afternoon to discuss the latest on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Watch: https://t.co/e4uITFtdwg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The Ukrainian people are fighting a valiant battle against all odds. Yesterday @senrobportman and I led a meeting between the Senate Ukraine Caucus and @OMarkarova to reaffirm our unified commitment to supply the brave Ukrainian fighters and aid refugees fleeing the violence. https://t.co/wED4OydYAT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

There is an important role for the federal government in assisting state and local efforts to prevent and respond to carjackings. First, we need more information about the prevalence of carjacking. That’s why I’ve called for the FBI and DOJ to begin nationwide data collection. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We have a responsibility to address and prevent carjackings. Last year, I held a field hearing in Chicago to learn from local leaders like U.S. Attorney John Lausch—but we must do more. As we learned in the so-called war on drugs, we can't incarcerate our way out of this problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As Russia continues its brutal invasion of Ukraine, one thing has become clear: the Ukrainians will not be outmatched in courage. The U.S. and NATO must continue to stand with them as much as possible. https://t.co/5G3BXCWObK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Each of these impressive individuals can speak to specific examples of how the American Rescue Plan and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act have helped Illinoisans. I look forward to discussing this, and more, with them as we consider President Biden’s address. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Tonight, I will be joined virtually by Hazel Crest Mayor @VernardAlsberry, @IBEW Local 134 Business Manage Don Finn, and Christine Morris, RN Site Manager at Heartland Health Services in Peoria, for @POTUS Biden’s first State of the Union Address. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Joining @CNN @NewDay shortly to discuss Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Russia’s assault on Ukraine, and what I hope to hear from President Biden’s #SOTU speech tonight. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Roe v. Wade is hanging on by an ever-thinning thread, which is why I just voted to move forward with the Women’s Health Protection Act—a bill that would protect access to abortion. Disappointed that this critical effort did not succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

While the Ukrainian people put up an historically brave fight in defense of their homeland, the United States should designate Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status. Proud to lead this effort with @SenatorMenendez and @senrobportman. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Earlier this year, I joined a congressional amicus brief urging the Court to recognize the EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act to protect the public from harmful pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and address the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
