I introduced a resolution with @SenatorRisch today calling for a free, fair, and credible presidential election in Gambia. We want to make it clear: the American people are fully behind Gambia’s continued and noteworthy path towards democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

This federal funding will be a tremendous boost to Rockford. I’m especially pleased that it includes funds to support clean and reliable transportation infrastructure, including electric buses. https://t.co/qqT3dlwLwG — PolitiTweet.org

This is tragic and why we can’t let bad actors like the Sackler family off the hook. Congress should pass my bill with @SenWarren to prevent wrongdoers like the Sacklers from manipulating bankruptcy to escape accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Had the chance to meet with members of the Mexican Senate today to discuss a variety of issues, including migration in the region & the illegal flow of U.S. weapons across the border. I look forward to our two nations continuing to work together on our shared interests & values. https://t.co/ihb75QTOOa — PolitiTweet.org

Top rating agencies said today that President Biden’s #BuildBackBetter plan will not increase inflation. In fact, economists have said it will ease inflationary pressures over the long term. Time for Senator McConnell and objectors to find some new talking points. https://t.co/n6GZWyLq1W — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I led my colleagues in urging President Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan to release individuals imprisoned for peaceful activities. As Turkmenistan looks to build international ties, its human rights record must be an important consideration. https://t.co/snNELLErvG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It’s time for new leadership at the Bureau of Prisons. Director Carvajal has demonstrated time and again that he is incapable of addressing the various crises he has created or allowed to exist. https://t.co/dwUNKaT5pT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Spoke with members of the IL Legislative Latino Caucus today about our efforts to include immigration reform in the Build Back Better bill. It’s been more than 30 years since Congress passed immigration reform—we can’t wait any longer. Now is the time & reconciliation is the way. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorLeahy is many things—a humanitarian, a gifted lawmaker, a passionate defender of human rights, and so much more. His service in this Senate has been a great benefit to our nation and the world. We will miss him dearly in retirement. https://t.co/Qsqi9GxbvI — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to speak today with Judge Salas and Judge Lefkow about the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2021. This commonsense legislation, named after Judge Salas’s son who was murdered by a disgruntled litigant, will help keep judges and their families safe. https://t.co/bPgD6JQ5YS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

"BOP has not conducted formal policy negotiations with its national union for 20 months, which has disrupted...implementation of the FIRST STEP Act and delayed changes to address safety issues." This new DOJ OIG memo is only further proof of why we need new BOP leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday my REFUND Act with @senrobportman was signed into law with the bipartisan infrastructure deal. It will save patients & Medicare billions by forcing Pharma to pay a rebate for discarded meds, rather than profiting off waste. A loss for Big Pharma & win for everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org
