On January 6, 2021, a mob of politically-motivated violent extremists attacked and ransacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn a valid election. Over the past year, prosecutors and FBI agents have worked diligently to bring that mob to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

One year ago today, Steve Bannon—Trump’s once-discarded chief strategist, now back in the Trump fold—told his podcast listeners "we’re on the point of attack tomorrow." — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on baseless conspiracies over the 2020 election, let’s come to the table, pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis #VRAA to allow everyone to participate fully and equally in our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Political disinformation hurts our democracy—and our health. I'm speaking live on the Senate floor about the January 6 insurrection and the COVID-19 pandemic. Tune in. https://t.co/MO0pJvKecb — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois, don't delay! There's only 10 days left to sign up for a health care plan during the ACA open enrollment period. You have until January 15 to #GetCovered for 2022 by visiting https://t.co/wM43rjghRC. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

A year after 1/6, the threat of extremism and political violence continues to grow. DOJ and the FBI need to address the scope of the threat and their actions to combat it—and Senators on both sides must be willing to condemn political violence, regardless of where it comes from. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The @EPA's report confirms what we know to be true - winters are getting more extreme with warmer temperatures & heavier snowstorms. We must take bold steps to combat climate change, beginning with passing the #BuildBackBetter agenda. https://t.co/5QrF3LsZEp — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepBobbyRush served his Congressional District in Chicago w/ the same intense commitment that has defined his life. It was an honor to join him in so many efforts for the people who entrusted him w/ this responsibility. I wish Bobby the best in the next chapter of his life. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m back in Washington and speaking live on the Senate floor in honor of my dear friend, the late Harry Reid. Watch here: https://t.co/whdf8hWM7i — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Objecting to protecting the right to vote means objecting to the very bedrock of our democracy. Yet a minority of Senators—all Republicans—have refused to even debate protections for this sacred right. And they're hiding behind the tool favored by segregationists: the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The federal government should not be in the business of propping up predatory #4profit colleges. Instead, we should be holding them accountable for all the damage they’ve done. My letter to the @chicagotribune: https://t.co/LcHm3uHCZW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With COVID still circulating, it’s never been more important to have health insurance for 2022. The good news is that premiums are more affordable & there’s still time to #GetCovered under the ACA. Go to https://t.co/wM43rjghRC by January 15 to find the plan that’s right for you. — PolitiTweet.org

I will be joining @CNN @NewDay shortly to discuss the passing of my friend, Harry Reid. Make sure you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

In the last two years, he would always end our phone calls with "I love you brother." And that is what our forty year friendship became: a brotherhood, a trust, and a shared love for helping others. Rest in peace, Harry. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Harry brought me into Senate leadership to be by his side nearly twenty years ago and trusted me to be his partner on the biggest political achievements of our lifetime. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Harry Reid was the best. A humble man who never forgot his Searchlight roots. A boxer who had a caring heart. A loyal friend who stood by you through thick and thin. A lucky man who found the love of his life in high school and lived his life with her. https://t.co/qjCEx7plgl — PolitiTweet.org

Do you still need health coverage for 2022? If so, go to https://t.co/wM43rjghRC by January 15 to #GetCovered with a health insurance plan under the ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He led a remarkable life and should serve as an inspiration to us all. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/9r0juZcaEF — PolitiTweet.org

A pre-Christmas shootout at an Oak Brook mall. Masked gunmen carjacking a State Sen. in Broadview. Is this the new normal in IL & America?  The new year requires new thinking to bring peace to our streets. I held a hearing on ways to reduce gun violence. https://t.co/tzVkBanPay — PolitiTweet.org

It was an honor to speak w/ President Zelensky on Christmas Eve. I told him how my walk through the memorials to those who lost their lives in the Maidan Square is a memory I will never forget. The world must reaffirm that Ukraine’s future be peacefully decided by its people. — PolitiTweet.org
