Easier access to quick, accurate and affordable at-home COVID-19 tests would go a long way towards helping our pandemic response. I’m calling on @HHSGov and @US_FDA to explore ways to help expand rapid at-home COVID-19 testing. https://t.co/nNZJdNN5TK — PolitiTweet.org

This #WorldPolioDay, I’m joining with @Rotary to recognize the role of @CDCGlobal & @USAIDGH in supporting the equitable distribution of vaccines, like those to #EndPolio & #COVID19. #VaccinesWork https://t.co/Annbi5DVhk — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to see Aleksei Navalny receive the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. He should be immediately released and allow to freely participate in Russian politics. His imprisonment and attempted poisoning are an international embarrassment. https://t.co/UWQnxeYfKy — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I visited @LaCasaNorte and sat down with community leaders to discuss how the American Rescue Plan addresses housing needs, health care, and food insecurity in Chicago, and what more needs to be done. That’s why I’m working to pass the #BuildBackBetter agenda. https://t.co/h6e6cj7NGQ — PolitiTweet.org

We are standing at the starting line of an electric vehicle revolution in our country. If the federal government can complement @GovPritzker's commitment to electric vehicles, Illinois is poised to win this race. My LTE in @CrainsChicago: https://t.co/tGPZudGkKq — PolitiTweet.org

The 'walk it off' mentality in youth sports can lead to dangerous, long term consequences when it comes to concussions. That's why I'm introducing legislation to strengthen elementary & secondary school procedures to prevent & treat head injuries in sports.https://t.co/qtgKImTIqz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

With the rising cost of college, many students can't afford to buy textbooks for class. I'm pleased to see @SenateApprops set aside $14M in FY22's appropriations bill for my Open Textbook Pilot Program to make quality instructional materials more accessible to students. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay—a reminder that Latinas must work nearly 22 months to earn what white men make in 12 months. Equal pay is long overdue, and I'm proud to cosponsor the #PaycheckFairness Act to achieve equal pay for equal work. https://t.co/oNbKxUlYYw — PolitiTweet.org

Rising temperatures and extreme weather are impacting every aspect of life on earth, including exacerbating security threats to the U.S. We must take immediate action to mitigate climate change. https://t.co/4A67AxRjbH — PolitiTweet.org

This week, the Senate will vote to confirm Tana Lin to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Ms. Lin is an accomplished litigator and would be the first Asian-American District Judge in Washington. I urge my colleagues to support her nomination. https://t.co/dl5OFLOFKz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Climate change is the single gravest threat to our economy today, not to mention our children and grandchildren’s future. We cannot afford to kick this can down the road any longer. Climate action must happen today. Tomorrow is too late. https://t.co/3X88qv08RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Regardless of today’s outcome, Senate Democrats will continue to push for federal voting protections and reforms that will strengthen the democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

The right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. By continuing to filibuster voting rights legislation, Senate Republicans are putting partisan, right-wing efforts in state legislatures ahead of the right of Americans to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Public safety can only be achieved when law enforcement has the full confidence of the communities they protect. As we honor Laquan’s memory today, we must also commit to reforming the flaws in the system that led to his murder. Only then will true justice be achieved. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Seven years later, the murder of Laquan McDonald is still shocking and upsetting. And while some semblance of justice has been achieved through the legal system, nothing can ever replace a lost loved one. Sending my prayers to the McDonald family today as they mourn Laquan. — PolitiTweet.org

It was a sweet treat to meet with IL members of the @CandyUSA this afternoon. We had a fruitful discussion about the U.S. sugar market & how we can reform the current program to keep IL competitive in a global marketplace. https://t.co/ZAIFDohXRP — PolitiTweet.org
