Rural EMS agencies are a lifeline for our communities. That’s why I passed the SIREN Act in 2018, to provide these first responders w/ more resources for their workforce & equipment. Now I’m partnering with @SenatorCollins to continue funding their work on the front lines. https://t.co/oBWnX2TkiH — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking images from the earthquake in Turkiye and Syria. I want to express my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims of the earthquakes. The U.S. stands ready to offer assistance. https://t.co/Dwj5RdkvwR — PolitiTweet.org

Amid Putin’s unjustified war, the Ukrainian people need our help to get basic necessities such as food, water, clothing, & more. I’m honored to say Chris Manson of @OSFHealthCare answered their calls and is my guest for @POTUS’s State of the Union Address. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SIHF_Health continues to deliver high-quality care for the community — regardless of a patient's income. Together, we can make important progress to lower costs and increase the number of trained health professionals to take care of the health needs of all Illinoisans. https://t.co/fHzCUngdPj — PolitiTweet.org

Since the 1993 passage of FMLA, more than 315 million workers have relied on it to care for themselves or their family members. While we have made many strides, we must continue to improve FMLA, make our workplaces more equitable, and guarantee #PaidLeaveForAll. https://t.co/PRdZTKX49t — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are rebuilding America at a historic pace.    Half a million jobs created just in January. Unemployment is the lowest in 54 years.    We’ve made historic investments in creating a stronger and more resilient economy that will benefit Americans for decades to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Helen Edwards dedicated 40 years of her life to deepening our understanding of particle physics. Her pioneering research earned her well-deserved national recognition. I cannot think of a worthier namesake for @Fermilab’s IERC & I’m proud to have joined this effort. https://t.co/9TbKuszuN9 — PolitiTweet.org

As gun violence continues to shatter every family and community it touches, we must continue our efforts to stop these devastating shootings and save lives. I was honored to join community leaders for #GVSurvivorsWeek to uplift survivor stories & recommit to ending this epidemic. https://t.co/VdFGrYJ85U — PolitiTweet.org

Manufacturers of toxic "forever chemicals" have profited at the expense of our nation's water systems and public health. These champion polluters deliberately mischaracterized the risks of #PFAS contamination and should be held accountable for the damage done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We cannot settle for a system that abandons working families. As family caregiving needs increase, we have to update our laws so they fit the needs of 21st century families. I thank @RepJahanaHayes for joining me in this effort. https://t.co/g5zZyhGGRm — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenDuckworth & I commend Walgreens, CVS, & Rite Aid’s efforts to increase access to medication abortion. We are working to ensure the safety and security of doctors, pharmacists, and patients involved in obtaining this critical medication. https://t.co/Vjl1gH0lKD — PolitiTweet.org

The 231,000 veterans seeking restitution in the 3M earplug case deserve to have their case heard in court. The 7th Circuit should affirm the bankruptcy court’s rejection of 3M’s cynical ploy. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress needs to know the true extent to which Charles McGonigal may have impacted highly sensitive government matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

Thousands of guns are stolen from gun dealers each year, and too often these guns are later used to commit violent crimes. My bill w/ @RepSchneider would help prevent ‘smash & grab’ burglaries which supply criminals w/ weapons used to commit acts of violence in our communities. https://t.co/maMLP29NOH — PolitiTweet.org

Last Congress, we confirmed 97 judges to lifetime appointments - including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Now, we’re building on that historic momentum. We advanced 15 judicial nominees to the full Senate this morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

We can't default on promises already made to the American people. There is nothing to negotiate. It’s time to fulfill our constitutional duty. https://t.co/Sj8anY7Bgu — PolitiTweet.org

We must continue to fight to prevent workers from having to choose between their families and jobs. #FMLA30 — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to return to my alma mater to discuss a matter of great importance: Justice for Ukraine. Russia’s illegal invasion not only poses a threat to Ukraine’s sovereignty, but every free nation on earth. America will fight for human rights in Ukraine and around the world. https://t.co/PelfdpIzGl — PolitiTweet.org

Taking to the Senate floor to highlight the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act & efforts to modernize it for today. We cannot settle for a system that abandons working families. https://t.co/GbpJGjfthS — PolitiTweet.org

The recent OPCW report marks the 9th time it and the UN independently verified chemical weapons use by the Assad regime. Whether by Assad in Syria or Vladimir Putin in Ukraine, we cannot allow these war criminals to act with impunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I joined several of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to meet with Prosecutor General @AndriyKostinUa to voice our nation’s unwavering support for Ukraine. In Congress, we will keep pushing to pass critical legislation to ensure Putin is held accountable. Slava Ukraini! https://t.co/f7XVe2dyOF — PolitiTweet.org

For years, @US_FDA has neglected its legal duty to regulate tobacco & e-cigs. The cost has been the addiction of millions of kids. Today, I led a bipar letter urging @HHSGov to protect kids from being hooked on nicotine by ending the free pass for vapes illegally on the market. https://t.co/5RBSw9UBWy — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is home to well-respected and renowned higher education institutions like @LoyolaChicago. Today, @SenDuckworth & I spoke with President Dr. Mark Reed about how to best support the next generation of students and use the University’s research capabilities to the fullest. https://t.co/hQNBKSXiJv — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks two years since the Burmese military’s coup and its continued human rights violations. It’s time to return to democratic governance. I’m pleased the see the Biden Administration impose additional sanctions in support of a peaceful and democratic Burma. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The ultimate goal of our criminal justice system is rehabilitation, preparing adults in custody for successful reentry into society. Today’s DOJ solitary confinement report is deeply disturbing & runs contrary to that mission. It’s time for the Solitary Confinement Reform Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The ‘walk it off’ mentality is not in the best interest of athletes. Sustaining a concussion and playing through the pain may lead to long-term health consequences. Implementing a ‘when in doubt, sit it out’ policy will protect students' health on the field, court, & track. https://t.co/nEvYYUtvl9 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Dr. Tony Sanders, the next State Superintendent of Education! I’m confident that @tonysandersU46’s dedication to students and commitment to equity will serve him well in his new role. — PolitiTweet.org
