Consumers deserve better than being deceived into buying sham products on online marketplaces. Verification. Transparency. Accountability. No more bait and switch. That's what my bipartisan INFORM Consumers Act with @SenBillCassidy will bring to online marketplaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Tune into @CrainsChicago from 1-2pm CT this afternoon for my conversation with @SenDuckworth & @GregHinz about how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal could help Chicago #BuildBackBetter & improve public transit, broadband access, and more. https://t.co/rKxZ13PlEG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Pleased to see @POTUS recommit our nation to slowing the effects of climate change on a global stage with his announcement that @EPA is cracking down on methane & greenhouse gas emissions. This move will bring us one step closer to a healthier planet. https://t.co/UWrfrihmVL — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, my Senatorial assignment was to be at the front door in Springfield to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. After a year off because of COVID, Halloween was back. What a difference vaccines can make. https://t.co/8I97x1cvyN — PolitiTweet.org

Too many children are living with the long-term effects of hearing gunshots, seeing violence in their neighborhood, & losing family to shootings. Congress must pass my bipartisan RISE from Trauma Act to provide trauma-informed resources to help kids heal from emotional scars. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is using funds I helped to secure in the American Rescue Plan for violence prevention, diversion, and youth employment programs. I’m also working in Washington to bring even more federal violence prevention funds to IL, through my RISE from Trauma Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I applaud @GovPritzker and @LtGovStratton’s announcement today of a new violence prevention initiative and an executive order to declare gun violence a public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

From confirming highly qualified nominees to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, @POTUS and @SenateDems are making substantial progress to #BuildBackBetter. Speaking live on the upcoming business of the U.S. Senate: https://t.co/kvkZq9LuxN — PolitiTweet.org

Republican politicians across the U.S. are working overtime to pass extreme bans on abortion. This constitutional right is currently under attack in our highest court—but #RoeVWade has been the law for almost 50 years, and I'll keep speaking out to make sure it stays that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinoisans: today, the Affordable Care Act’s open enrollment period begins for 2022 health insurance. Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, there are more affordable options than ever before. Visit https://t.co/wM43rjghRC to see if you & your family are eligible to #GetCovered. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Enjoyed having the chance to speak with @jguaido earlier this week. Against incredible odds, he and so many others continue a patriotic effort to build a better future for their country. I continue to stand with him and the Venezuelan people in this effort. https://t.co/m8mO0leSNS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I was glad to join @ENERGY and @argonne virtually today to discuss new federal investments in electric vehicle (EV) battery research that will improve the transition to cleaner, electric transportation and help Illinois remain a leader in EV innovation. https://t.co/rlaB7S6xEo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Egypt must answer for their ongoing harassment and detention of dissidents and human rights activists. I’m introducing NDAA amendments to hold them accountable—including a proposal to take away their interest-earning benefit on U.S. security aid. https://t.co/16LWfXInGb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I also met today with federal law enforcement officials for an update on their work to combat firearms trafficking and support local law enforcement in addressing gun violence. Controlling the flood of guns is a key factor in reducing gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

My RISE from Trauma Act would allow for additional funding for violence prevention programs in schools, health care settings, and community organizations like Metropolitan Family Services. https://t.co/PkTmtkCknP — PolitiTweet.org

Today I met with @MetroFamChicago to learn about their violence prevention efforts and their work alongside the Chicago Police Department to help keep Chicago families and communities safe. https://t.co/swQtDOtBp9 — PolitiTweet.org

It is far too difficult for struggling student borrowers to discharge their loans in bankruptcy, even as a last resort. I have long urged the Department of Education to use their authority to make it easier for student borrowers to find relief. It’s time. https://t.co/srcn42ZvSI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Proud of Illinois for taking this important step towards making our state the national leader for electric vehicle production, research, and infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally eliminating civil child sexual abuse statutes of limitations will allow survivors to have their day in court and a moment of healing. This is commonsense, bipartisan legislation and I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support. — PolitiTweet.org

While the #BuildBackBetter framework may not have everything that everyone wanted, let’s not lose sight of how much good it will do. Some people look at a donut and just see the hole. I see the donut. And this donut is substantial. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been more than 30 years since Congress passed immigration reform. We can’t wait any longer. Now is the time and reconciliation is the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Millions of undocumented people live in this country and contribute to our economy. They deserve to live, work, and travel without fear of deportation. President Biden understands this. That’s why he included immigration reform in his Build Back Better framework. — PolitiTweet.org
