Politician
Oct. 21, 2019
Tweet - "40 people were shot in Chicago this weekend, and Washington barely seems to notice. It's unacceptable that reducing gun violence seems to have fallen off the Senate's agenda. This cannot wait. The Senate must act - we have the power to enact change, but first we have to vote."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 21, 2019
Tweet - "It's time for Cuba to release activist José Daniel Ferrer & finally account for the suspicious death of his heroic colleague Oswaldo Paya. Cuba will only be ready to join the community of democracies when it stops jailing peaceful opposition voices."

Oct. 18, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 17, 2019
Tweet - "Of all the attorneys in Kentucky, couldn't Republicans find one who is qualified to be a federal trial judge? Justin Walker clearly isn't. We need nominees with real courtroom experience. Too many R noms haven't even stuck around for the second half of a Law & Order episode."
