Dec. 17, 2019
Tweet - "Proud to join @SenBlumenthal & 20 @SenateDems to introduce the Safe Gun Storage Act & promote safe gun storage. Establishing safety standards for firearm locks & safes should be a no-brainer. This is about saving lives. Safe gun storage will do just that."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Dec. 17, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 17, 2019
Tweet - "I called on the @USNavy to make good on its promise to Russell Dotson--serve long enough & you can use your GI Bill benefits for your kids' education. Glad that the Navy decided to correct their error & restore benefits for Dotson's children."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 17, 2019
Tweet - "IMPORTANT: Today is the last day to sign up for a health insurance plan under the ACA for next year. Make sure you #GetCovered for 2020 and find a quality, affordable plan that will work for you by calling 1-800-318-2596 or going to http://healthcare.gov today."

CNN "The Situation Room" - Transcript: Interview With Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D- IL)
Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "Climate change is an existential threat to life as we know it. And if we don't start taking drastic action soon, it will be too late for us all. We must begin by rejoining the Paris Climate Accord--the United States can't face this crisis on our own."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "While most overseas medical schools must meet minimum standards to receive U.S. student aid dollars, there is a loophole exempting a small number of for-profit institutions. These Caribbean medical schools leave students with massive debt & less chance of ever becoming a doctor."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "Utah has acres of untouched wilderness that is rich in archaeological resources. But this land is threatened by continued fossil fuel development & rampant off-road vehicle use. If we want to safeguard Utah's wilderness, we must act now."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "President Trump's latest personal attacks on Speaker Nancy Pelosi are beneath the dignity of his office, but sadly not at all surprising. If we are to begin to restore civility to our political discourse, we must all reject derisive language."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "More than 5M kids are now hooked on e-cigs, which puts them at risk for chronic lung disease. This is a public health crisis & it's only going to get worse until @US_FDA acts. Pres. Trump must follow through on his promise to ban kid-friendly e-cig flavors immediately."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "For more than 25 years, the Family and Medical Leave Act has been an important first step in protecting families' economic security. However, more must be done to better address the needs of today's workforce."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "IMPORTANT UPDATE: the deadline to sign up for a health insurance plan under the ACA has been extended to December 18! If you had difficulty signing up, or have yet to do so, make sure you #GetCovered for 2020 by calling 1-800-318-2596 or going to http://healthcare.gov today."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "Not just the issue of impeachment, but the Senate itself will also be on trial. We owe it to our nation to be impartial and dignified in our proceedings. The Democrats have proposed a fair and bipartisan process. Four Republican Senators can guarantee it will happen."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 16, 2019
Tweet - "More evidence that the Trump tax scam was designed to help America's largest corporations pad their pockets. Allowing corporations to avoid paying their fair share in taxes doesn't help working families who are struggling to make ends meet."
