Politician
Dec. 12, 2019
Tweet - "After learning that her school--the IL Institute of Art-Chicago--was no longer accredited, despite company ads continuing to say it was, Keishana was left buried in student loan debt & worthless credits. Because of Sec. Betsy DeVos, she's still waiting for the relief she deserves."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 12, 2019

Dec. 12, 2019
Tweet - "For months, @SenDuckworth & I have urged the EPA to test for ethylene oxide at facilities like Medline in Waukegan. The @CDCgov data showing higher levels of ethylene oxide in blood samples nearby is deeply troubling. @EPA needs to wake up & protect the health of Illinoisans."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 12, 2019
Tweet - "So @realDonaldTrump tweets that TIME Magazine's Person the Year, @GretaThunberg, should stop her work on climate change and "chill." It's harder for Greta to chill when our planet is heating up. Mr. President, stop slinging insults at a teenager & start acting like an adult."

Rep. Robin Kelly
Dec. 11, 2019
Tweet - "It's hard to keep up with all the ridiculous claims the President makes. Let's be clear--there were no spies in the Trump campaign. Inspector Horowitz's report should put that idea to bed. Yet the President repeats it day after day. It's no surprise the American people are numb."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019

Dec. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Glad to see Senate Foreign Relations Committee pass @SenMarkey's resolution, that I proudly cosponsored, calling on the government of the Philippines to end the troubling detention of Filipina Senator Leila de Lima and harassment of @rapplerdotcom journalist Maria Ressa."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Many of my Republican colleagues are obsessed with the emails and texts sent by Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Senator Graham even went as far today as to say they were "in charge" of the FBI's 2016 Russia investigation. Here's what DOJ IG Horowitz had to say about that today:"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Three months ago, the First Lady joined Pres. Trump in promising to get e-cig flavors out of the hands of children "within weeks"--flavors like gummy bear & cool mint. Rather than implementing this policy, the Trump Admin has seemingly reversed course. That is unacceptable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2019
Tweet - "We've been playing whack-a-mole with Republican conspiracy theories for far too long and it has got to stop. The report released by the DOJ's OIG this week made it clear--there is no evidence that the FBI's Russia investigation was influenced by bias against President Trump."
Sen. Dick Durbin
