Now that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is law, we can begin the exciting work of rebuilding, expanding, & modernizing IL's infrastructure. Great conversation with @ILSenDems yesterday about the best ways to use this funding as we enter a new era of reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week, I joined @SenatorWarnock in calling on President Biden to continue waiving borrowers’ interest on federal student loans for the duration of the COVID-19 national emergency. There’s no reason to add to their burden at this time. https://t.co/StKzDZV6YY — PolitiTweet.org

The climate crisis not only harms ecosystems & communities, it also harms economic growth & stability. We cannot lose the opportunity to make our economy more resilient & to mitigate the disasters across all aspects of society that the climate crisis threatens. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The evidence is abundantly clear: failure to adequately address climate change will result in catastrophe, for the United States and the entire world. We must take immediate, bold action if we want to leave our children and grandchildren with a livable planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Go get your vaccine or booster shot, Illinoisans. It’s the best way to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from COVID this winter. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republicans talk tough about border security. But only 1 voted to confirm the new head of @CBP—Arizona police chief with 40 years of law enforcement experience. I voted to confirm Chief Magnus to head CBP &and I wish him well as he tackles the challenges ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I remember when @GregKelleySEIU was an intern in my office! So proud to see him become president of @SEIU Illinois State Council and make history as the Council’s first Black president. I’m excited to keep working together on behalf of our state’s working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Just voted with a bipartisan group of Senators to halt a proposed arms sale to Saudi Arabia. Given long list of Saudi atrocities, including brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, jailing of Raif Badawi, & war in Yemen, I see no reason to continue aiding & abetting their violence. — PolitiTweet.org

The pleasure was all mine, @chefjoseandres. Let's do it again sometime soon! — PolitiTweet.org

If the U.S. is going to lead the way in the 21st century, we’re going to need a robust national electric vehicle infrastructure. Partnerships like this one—along with investments like those in the Bipartisan Infrastructure package—are how we get there. https://t.co/CIdlp2AkYR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pleased to report that my Republican colleague has removed his objection and we now have five new U.S. Attorneys—including my friend Greg Harris for the Central District of Illinois. Congratulations to each of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

One Republican is currently holding up the confirmation of five U.S. Attorneys over a completely unrelated matter. Critical law enforcement posts sit empty as a result. I'm live on the Senate floor, trying to end this petty political game. https://t.co/Rm7YdZFctH — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the first Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on closing Guantanamo since 2013. At that point, many retired senior military officials, national security experts, and lawmakers agreed it was far past time to #CloseGuantanamo That was 8 years and 3 administrations ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Every kid in America should have access to pre-kindergarten. But as it currently stands, less than half of American three and four year olds are currently enrolled. #BuildBackBetter will make universal pre-K a reality, putting every child in America on a path to success. — PolitiTweet.org

I fought to secure this critical funding for Illinois to help keep families in their homes. Applications will be accepted beginning Monday, Dec. 6 through Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022. Eligible renters and landlords can apply for up to $25,000 in rental assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was one of the first to call for Guantanamo's closure. In 2009, I was one of 6 Senators who voted to #CloseGuantanamo. In 2013, I held the first Senate Gitmo hearing in years. The cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of detainees stains the hands of our government. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

As a Springfield resident, I believe we must preserve the history of the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area for future generations to learn about our nation's history. I'm proud to introduce a bill to ensure the ALNHA is authorized for another 15 years.https://t.co/D9WWqozUfT — PolitiTweet.org

I join the nation in mourning the passing of Bob Dole today. By joining forces with Democrats to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act, his service to this country reminds us of a better day in America. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/S9vZ0iCdse — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Among the many freedoms we enjoy as Americans is the freedom to live without fear—and that includes public figures like school board members. I’m live on the Senate floor, discussing the need to defend that freedom. https://t.co/qN7A0UFiSj — PolitiTweet.org

A great day for baseball. Minnie Miñoso, Buck O'Neil, and Bud Fowler should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago. They are legends of the game and it is good to see they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Maria Ressa has done remarkable work in the face of President Duterte’s vendetta against her. She is more than deserving of the Nobel prize. Glad to see she is going to be able to receive it in person. https://t.co/41envZKqPJ — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be watching The Gambia closely this weekend as they hold what will hopefully be a free and fair presidential election. The Gambian people should know that they have the full support of the United States on their continued path towards democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, with the inclusion of the Drinking Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Act, is already delivering for Illinois. Our communities can use these funds to address long-ignored water issues like lead service lines, broken pumps, & contaminated water. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is celebrating its 203rd birthday today. Since we already took care of a gift with the infrastructure bill, perhaps a tweet is the best way to celebrate today. 21 in the order of statehood, number 1 in our hearts. — PolitiTweet.org
