May 23, 2019
Senators Cotton, Rubio, Cardin Reintroduce Bill Targeting Chinese Aggression in South China Sea
Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "The Secretary of Defense must advise a President with no experience in national security & a limited grasp of the life & death decisions he must make. He also must counter the extreme views of Bolton and Pompeo. It remains to be seen whether Patrick Shanahan is up to that job."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "It's #CleanAirMonth, a reminder about the importance of clean air and the threat pollution poses to our planet. We must continue to hold polluters accountable and work hard to ensure that all children, no matter where they live, get to breath clean air and live full lives."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "It took too long, but the Senate finally passed a bipartisan disaster relief package that includes funding to help our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico, as well as Americans still recovering from floods, hurricanes, and fires across the country."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "The Senate must build on the reforms in the TRACED Act by empowering Americans to hold these illegal callers accountable. It's time to put an end to the nuisance of robocalls and the predatory schemes they perpetuate."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "The President's farm policy? More market distortions, more questions, more uncertainty. Farmers want trade, not aid. Holding China accountable doesn't mean twisting the farm economy into knots."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "We should not invade Iran & engage in another war in the Middle East. And we should not subject America's service members to a reckless war. Congress has the final say in any decision to go to war, we cannot abdicate that responsibility."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "Military families who've lost their service member shouldn't have to worry about receiving the benefits their loved one earned. It is time we #AxeWidowsTax and thank our military families."

As Tensions With Iran Escalate, Durbin Meets With Acting Defense Secretary Shanahan
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "Pharmaceutical companies tell you everything about their prescription drugs in TV ads, except the price. Putting price tags on these ads will increase transparency and lower costs for Americans. More from @ChuckGrassley and I:"
