Politician
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "According to our Constitution, Congress holds the power of the purse -- not the President. When Congress appropriates funds, we should believe that it actually means something -- that no President, Republican or Democrat, can simply ignore us for their own selfish purposes."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "Proud to cosponsor the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which Congress should pass as soon as possible to express U.S. support for the democratic aspirations of the people of Hong Kong."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "We've all seen the heartbreaking images from the Bahamas -- homes turned into rubble; no access to food or clean water; families that have lost everything. The Trump Admin's decision to deny TPS to the Bahamas is heartless, but sadly, not surprising. America is better than this."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "At today's Senate Appropriations Committee markup, I offered an amendment to require the Trump Administration to spend the additional aid to Ukraine that Congress approved in this funding bill."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "Blocking asylum seekers from entering the United States does not make us safer, violates our treaty obligations, tarnishes our image around the world, and endangers vulnerable people who are fleeing violence -- especially children and families. America is better than this."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019
Durbin, Colleagues Introduce Temporary Protected Status For The Bahamas
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019
Tweet - "In my meeting today with @FDACommissioner, I wanted to convey a clear message: #VapingTargetsKids. Nationwide, 5 million children are vaping today -- more than 1 in 4 high schoolers - and it's because of JUUL and mint/fruit/candy flavors like unicorn milk and gummy bear."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 12, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Durbin Reacts To FDA E-Cigarette Flavors Announcement On Senate Floor
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "For decades, the United States has provided safe haven to the world's most vulnerable refugees. The Trump Admin. is seeking to bypass Congress to end this long-standing bipartisan tradition & once again drastically cut the number of refugees we'll accept."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Educating our nation's students is a responsibility we cannot afford to take lightly. Wonderful to sit down today with @janicejackson, CEO of @ChiPubSchools, to talk education policy, the Chicago HEAL initiative, and ending youth vaping."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids, and these flavors--mint, menthol, gummy bear, Unicorn Milk, lung candy--have been essential to the industry luring children into this new addiction. I will closely review @US_FDA's guidance. Finally, @US_FDA is doing its job."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "67% of the land along the southwest border belongs to U.S. citizens, not the federal government. Pres. Trump has already raided funds that Congress had appropriated to take care of our brave service members, and now he's trying to seize private land to build his ineffective wall."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi, ...
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "Today, 1 out of 5 high-schoolers nationwide are vaping -- an increase of 80% over the last year. They were told--by JUUL--that it's a safe alternative to tobacco. It's not. We need @US_FDA to step up today, or this deadly epidemic is only going to grow. #VapingTargetsKids"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids. Just look at the flavors on the market today. Unicorn milk, bubble gum, gummy bear. These aren't aimed at a 50-year-old chain smoker trying to quit cigarettes. They're designed to attract children, and they're working. It's time @US_FDA puts an end to it."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 11, 2019
