I remain concerned about the ongoing detention of activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev, who is facing politically-motivated charges, amid troubling reports of his health rapidly deteriorating. I urge the Government of Azerbaijan to release him immediately on health & humanitarian grounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Jimmy Carter redefined public service with genuineness, humility, and boundless energy. He will leave a legacy far beyond his presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

Romania has seen up close the consequences of Putin’s heinous crimes in Ukraine, helped with millions of refugees, and stood as a key member of NATO and the EU. @SenatorShaheen & I met with Prime Minister @NicolaeCiuca and Illinois service members stationed in Romania. https://t.co/Vwqy7wBJS8 — PolitiTweet.org

After #MSC2023, I made a stop in Georgia to meet with Pres @Zourabichvili_S. Having suffered a brazen Russian military seizure of its land in 2008, Georgia knows Putin’s threat too well. Amid Putin’s aggression, strengthening Georgia's capabilities in the Black Sea is critical. https://t.co/4YsksByDjb — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Presidents’ Day! Today we honor those who have served in the highest office. And Illinois celebrates the four historic Presidents who have called our great state home—Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Reagan, and Obama. — PolitiTweet.org

This so-called “model” prison is rife with abuses. I will keep the Egyptian Government’s abysmal human rights record, to include releasing political prisoners such as the family members of Illinois asylee Aly Mahdy, in mind as we examine the FY24 budget. https://t.co/KAiNSAUSIW — PolitiTweet.org

I'm joining @MunSecConf to once again show Putin that the world stands with Ukraine, and will not be intimidated by ongoing Russian cyberattacks and propaganda. As Russia continues its illegal war in Ukraine, we must continue to strengthen our transatlantic unity. #MSC2023 — PolitiTweet.org

Our first #ConstituentCoffee since the pandemic was a great success! @SenDuckworth & I were grateful to hear constituents' concerns in D.C. this afternoon. https://t.co/nus9HQCEqe — PolitiTweet.org

I met with DEA Administrator Milgram to discuss ways to make communities safer by combating illicit drug distribution, preventing traffickers from targeting our children on social media & stemming excessive opioid production. We’re laser-focused on curbing the opioid epidemic. https://t.co/a1bi45PaIc — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad that @SenFettermanPA is seeking care at this time. It's important to take care of your mental health and it takes extreme strength to reach out when you need help. I’m here for you, John. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

I’m speaking live on the Senate floor on Putin’s senseless and unprovoked war in Ukraine. The world will hold him and his henchmen accountable for their heinous war crimes and crimes against humanity. WATCH: https://t.co/uvOegudCvj — PolitiTweet.org

A year has passed since Dr. Califf became Commissioner of @US_FDA. In this time, the agency has failed to stop Big Tobacco from preying on our children. I invited @DrCaliff_FDA to join me at a vape shop in D.C. to see the harms of inaction. https://t.co/4FWjFlUa5y — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be joining @MSNBC @Morning_Joe shortly to discuss hitting the milestone of 100 Biden judges confirmed and counting. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

Access to simple, but revolutionary, tools like bicycles can help meet needs in health care, education systems, and women and girls' empowerment.

The first Special Olympic games were held in Chicago at Soldier Field in July 1968. It was a joy to meet with athletes who are carrying the torch decades later. I’ll continue to advocate for the volunteers, staff, and athletes who make @SpecialOlympics happen. https://t.co/Ivygub2hAl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

The continuing threat to the safety & security of letter carriers under the leadership of Postmaster General DeJoy is unacceptable. I spoke w/ Brian Renfroe, President of @NALC_National, to explore ways to improve route safety & push postal leadership to improve carrier security. — PolitiTweet.org

Caring for patients is a hard enough job. But workforce shortages and unnecessary burdens from insurance companies are creating new strains. I had an insightful conversation with @ChiMedSoc about how Congress can better support our physicians & our communities. https://t.co/kfp1DgglAT — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech profits from collecting sensitive data on our personal devices — including children's. Americans deserve a chance to delete data collected from about them by Big Tech while they were children. The Clean Slate for Kids Online Act would give them that chance. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy belated birthday to Ray Moore, a World War II veteran from Aurora, who turned 100 over the weekend. In case you're wondering, Mr. Moore says regular exercise is the key to longevity.🔑 — PolitiTweet.org

Serving with Senator Feinstein is an honor.   She’s a principled colleague, mentor to many, and will leave an ever-lasting imprint on the Senate.   Here’s to two more years together, @SenFeinstein. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin

It's been an honor to serve with @SenFeinstein, the longest-serving woman in Senate history. Senator Feinstein has been a trailblazer for women in politics and a defining figure of California politics leading the fight for women, LGBTQ rights, & safer communities. We thank you. https://t.co/7u2NtzbYLY — PolitiTweet.org

Cambodian strongman Hun Sen’s petty attacks on the free press and continued jailing of political opposition, including Theary Seng, must not go unnoticed. As Thomas Jefferson noted, “the only security for all is in a free press.” https://t.co/fjl6cSv9pM — PolitiTweet.org

Bessie Coleman or "Brave Bessie" was the first Black and Native American woman to earn her pilot’s license in the U.S. She traveled across the country to encourage Black Americans to chase their dreams. Now, she's celebrated in @usmint's historic series. https://t.co/FBe6qhQaFT — PolitiTweet.org

I’m speaking live on the Senate floor about the anniversaries of the Parkland, Florida, and Northern Illinois Universities shootings that horrified our nation. We must recommit ourselves to do more to fight America’s gun violence epidemic. https://t.co/LsSbG4yqx8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sean O'Shea was a selfless son of Chicago who did a lot of good for a lot of people. Loretta and I send our deepest condolences to Sean’s family and friends, who are too numerous to count. May you find comfort in your memories. https://t.co/Zndd82HC41 — PolitiTweet.org
