Senators Introduce Bill to Help Americans Hurt by Medical Debt
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 15, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - "It's up to Republicans who control Congress to have the courage to do what's right for these young immigrants by working with Democrats to finally pass the #DreamAct #ProtectDreamers"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - "There are solutions on the table both parties can agree on to fight this scourge - like strengthening DEA and FDA oversight of Big Pharma, promoting responsible prescribing, expanding drug treatment, and supporting our first responders."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - "Fortunately, federal court injunctions have temporarily allowed people who previously had DACA to renew their status. The Trump Administration should fully restore DACA instead of refusing to defend it in court."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - " I've shared over 100 Dreamer stories on the Senate floor. Despite the contributions #Dreamers are making in our communities, Pres Trump heartlessly ended the #DACA program last year. He broke his promise to them & uses Dreamers as a bargaining chip for an anti-immigrant agenda."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - "6 years ago, the government began accepting the first applications for the #DACA program, changing the lives of 800,000 young immigrants who could now receive temporary protection from deportation, study, and legally work in the only country they have ever known. #ProtectDreamers"
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 11, 2018

Tweet - "It's been a month and a half since a judge ordered the Trump Admin to reunite the families it separated. How are there still over 500 kids yet to see their parents? The zero-tolerance policy, and this incompetent attempt to reunite children, is a stain on our great nation."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 9, 2018
Tweet - "AG Sessions and DHS Sec. Nielsen are doing all they can to make it harder for immigrant victims of domestic violence and gang violence to gain safety. We have to hold this anti-immigrant White House accountable every step of the way."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 9, 2018
Tweet - "Exposure to manganese dust can cause serious neurological effects, learning difficulties, and memory loss. I continue to urge the EPA to use its authority to require more facilities to install air monitors to track manganese and other toxic metals."

Tweet - "When we call the press "fake news" or tell people not to pay attention to them, it discredits an important part of America's democracy. It takes a free press to hold politicians of both parties accountable. That's their job, and it's more important now than ever before."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin

Tweet - "President Trump and Congressional Republicans padded the pockets of Big Pharma with their tax bill. What are they doing about holding Big Pharma accountable for skyrocketing drug costs that are hurting middle class families? American patients deserve lower costs too."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "What is the Trump Administration doing to reunite the 711 "lost" children with their parents, who were forcibly removed from their mothers & fathers at the border? We cannot rest until every child is safely back in their parents' arms."

Rep. Brad Schneider
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "Trump Admin officials told us this week that giving them the authority to indefinitely detain parents & kids together would help solve the crisis at the border they created. Locking up children in detention facilities isn't a solution, it's just more cruelty by this White House."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "The zero-tolerance immigration policy has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. The Trump Administration never kept sufficient records for the kids they forcibly separated from their parents, and seemingly had no intention to reunite them. Inexcusable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "It's false to say that previous administrations had a policy of intentionally separating children from their parents. This policy began in April when AG Sessions ordered zero-tolerance. It started as a bright idea in the Trump White House and ended up being a disaster."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Rep. Mike Quigley

Rep. Mike Quigley, ...
July 31, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Admin's child separation policy is more than a bureaucratic lapse in judgment. It is -- and was -- a cruel policy inconsistent with the bedrock values of this nation. We can have border security without bullying. We can be safe without treating toddlers as terrorists."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 31, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Administration should own up to its cruel decision to forcibly separate children at the border, and the humanitarian disaster that ensued in its aftermath. There is no one else to blame for this chaos."

Rep.Brad Schneider
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "Trump Admin officials told us this week that giving them the authority to indefinitely detain parents & kids together would help solve the crisis at the border they created. Locking up children in detention facilities isn't a solution, it's just more cruelty by this White House."

Tweet - "The Department of Education urging a school to misrepresent its accreditation status to students would be scandalous. If true, this would represent a new level of betrayal of students by Sec. DeVos and her #4profit college cronies at the Department."

Tweet - "The zero-tolerance immigration policy has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. The Trump Administration never kept sufficient records for the kids they forcibly separated from their parents, and seemingly had no intention to reunite them. Inexcusable."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "It's false to say that previous administrations had a policy of intentionally separating children from their parents. This policy began in April when AG Sessions ordered zero-tolerance. It started as a bright idea in the Trump White House and ended up being a disaster."

July 31, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Admin's child separation policy is more than a bureaucratic lapse in judgment. It is -- and was -- a cruel policy inconsistent with the bedrock values of this nation. We can have border security without bullying. We can be safe without treating toddlers as terrorists."
Sen.Dick Durbin
July 31, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Administration should own up to its cruel decision to forcibly separate children at the border, and the humanitarian disaster that ensued in its aftermath. There is no one else to blame for this chaos."
