Cloture Motion
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 1, 2020
Tweet - "A bipartisan group of nine Senators released a $908 billion COVID-19 relief plan today. While it may not be a perfect plan, it's a good one--and much better than nothing at all, which is the worst possible outcome & the one Senator McConnell seems to want."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 1, 2020
Tweet - "Spoke w/Mark Shriver from @SavetheChildren today about prioritizing the wellbeing of children in a new COVID-19 relief package, especially in rural & underserved communities. Access to food, health care, & child care has never been more important to the wellbeing of the next gen."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 1, 2020
Tweet - "If Congress does not act soon, roughly 12M Americans are going to lose access to the unemployment benefits they are relying on to get them through this pandemic on Dec. 26. @SenateDems are ready to extend these programs past the holiday season--will Republicans join us?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 30, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 30, 2020
Tweet - "While House Dems passed several relief proposals, Congressional Republicans & Pres. Trump have spent the last 7+ months failing to respond to COVID-19. Americans are dying because of this inaction. November was bad, but December will be worse if we don't act now."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 30, 2020
Tweet - "If confirmed, Janet Yellen will not only become the first woman to serve as Treasury Secretary, she'll also be the first former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers & Chair of the Federal Reserve to serve in that role. @JoeBiden couldn't have chosen a more qualified person."

Nov. 29, 2020

Nov. 25, 2020
