Politician
Nov. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Here's a Civics 101 lesson, Mr. President. You don't get to demand that only some votes count. That is not how democracy works. Every single vote must be counted & every single vote will be counted."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 2, 2020
Tweet - "There is no excuse for Sen. McConnell's failure on COVID-19 relief. He spent 6 months sitting on his hands while Americans suffered. Then he used the last weeks before the election to ram through his SCOTUS nominee, ignoring health, economic, housing & hunger needs of Americans."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 29, 2020
Tweet - "Latina women make 55 cents on the dollar as compared to white men. Latinas and their families deserve better. @HouseDemocrats already passed legislation to address this issue -- the Senate must do its part to pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct! #LatinasAreEssential"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 29, 2020
Tweet - "IL runs a leading program to help 8,000 seniors & people w/disabilities access health & nutrition services in their community, rather than an institutional setting. Despite two decades of this program, the Trump Admin has tried to rip away SNAP benefits that feed these groups."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 29, 2020
Tweet - "For months small businesses & nonprofits in Illinois have been desperate for federal assistance to survive this pandemic. Despite pleas for help, Majority Leader McConnell & Senate Republicans plugged their ears & fast-tracked a Supreme Court nomination."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 28, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Michael Pompeo, Secretary of the Dept. of State, and the Hon. Chad Wolf, Under Secretary for Strategy, Policy, and Plans - Menendez, Castro, Torres Lead Bicameral Call For Accountability Following Trump Administration's Reckless Immigration Operation in Guatemala
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump wants to turn Voice of America into his own state-run propaganda machine like other autocrats he admires."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 28, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Michael Rigas, Acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management and Acting Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget - House Democrats Call for Halt to President's Executive Order Politicizing the Civil Service and Demand Analyses of Potential Effects
Rep. Robin Kelly, ...
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "The ACA protects millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions. But Republicans want SCOTUS to strike it down & rushed a new justice to the Court to help. We can't return to dark days of higher costs & less care for sick patients. I'll keep fighting to save the ACA."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Originalism is the MAGA of judicial philosophies. We cannot allow an 18th century understanding of the Constitution to dictate what happens in 21st century America."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Sen. McConnell spent 5 straight days on the Senate floor jamming through the Barrett nomination. Five days for a partisan power grab. But no time for meaningful, bipartisan #COVID19 relief. His priorities are crystal clear."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump has been clear that he wanted Justice Barrett on the Court to help him in election challenges. Democrats asked Justice Barrett at her hearing to commit to recuse herself from cases involving the ongoing election, and she refused. This left a cloud over her nomination."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "From start to finish, Republicans disregarded the COVID-19 pandemic in their rush to confirm Judge Barrett before Election Day. All the while #COVID19 cases spiked across the US. They gave up on helping the American people to pursue a partisan power grab. Shameful."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Justice Amy Coney Barrett's walk through the White House with President Trump was a campaign ad. Republicans want the Supreme Court to strike down the ACA and tilt the election their way. It was a sad day for the Court and our country, but we will fight tooth and nail."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Justice Kavanaugh & his conservative allies last night disenfranchised Wisconsin voters whose ballots are mailed before Election Day but arrive after. Voter suppression is alive and well in the GOP. It's clear that we must enact my Constitutional guarantee of a right to vote."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "225,000+ Americans are dead & Trump Admin has surrendered to COVID-19. The GOP-held Senate refuses to work with Democrats on relief. All of their focus is on the Supreme Court. They've decided this power grab is more important than helping American people during a pandemic."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Adding Judge Barrett to form a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court is a direct threat to Americans' access to affordable health care, voting rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality, & more. I will vote no on her nomination because I know #WhatsAtStake."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "I will be voting against Judge Barrett's nomination tonight. More than 225,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 & more than 60 million ballots have already been cast in the election that is just eight days away. This is not the time to be pursuing partisan power grabs."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "FACT CHECK: Republicans claim Judge Barrett will be a neutral umpire & Democrats want courts to be "super-legislatures" with unelected judges making laws. In fact, right-wing judicial activists have repeatedly used originalism & textualism to overturn duly-enacted laws."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "For the sake of public health, Vice President Pence should stay home today. The White House has already hosted one super-spreader event in the past month--we shouldn't risk him creating another in the Senate."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "This is a dark day for the Senate. Republicans have defied rules & traditions in their rush to confirm Judge Barrett in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic & an election. I believe my Republican colleagues will regret the consequences of taking us down this path."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Republicans have made it clear: their priority is not to pass a bipartisan pandemic relief bill, but to confirm their Supreme Court nominee instead. Meanwhile 225,000+ Americans have died from COVID-19 and the pandemic rages on. The Republicans' priorities are all wrong."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Just because Republicans hold up a scrap of paper & call it a relief bill, doesn't make it one. Not a cent for hospitals, stimulus checks, rental assistance. In their rush to confirm Judge Barrett & eliminate health care, Rs have abandoned needs of Americans during this pandemic."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2020
Durbin: Republicans Jamming Supreme Court Nomination Through At Breakneck Speed & Disregarding Pandemic And Risk To Affordable Care Act
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Susan is a 5th generation farmer from New Berlin, IL. She's also a two time cancer fighter who--like millions of other Americans--relies on the ACA's protections for pre-existing conditions. Republicans want the Supreme Court to strike down the ACA. That is #WhatsAtStake."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Will be joining @FWhitfield on @CNN soon to talk about the Supreme Court vacancy and #COVID19. Make sure you tune in."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Republicans are breaking rules to advance Judge Barrett's nomination as fast as possible. Senate Democrats are doing everything we can to protect Americans' health care. Health care, and many other critical issues, are at risk in a 6-3 Supreme Court. #WhatsAtStake"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 24, 2020
Durbin Slams Senate Republicans For Rushing Through Supreme Court Nomination Instead Of Focusing On Bipartisan COVID-19 Pandemic Relief
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 24, 2020
Tweet - "If Judge Barrett is confirmed, more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions could lose health care protections. Women could lose the right to choose. And millions of Americans could lose the right to marry who they love. That is what's at stake."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 24, 2020
Tweet - "The Republican plan to eliminate the Affordable Care Act will end protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions. If Judge Barrett is confirmed & the ACA is ended, millions will lose access to lifesaving care--like Susan from New Berlin, IL. I'm in this fight for Susan."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 24, 2020
Tweet - "How long can Senator McConnell ignore the fact that COVID-19 cases are spiking across the US? The Senate should be working around the clock on a comprehensive bipartisan relief bill. Instead, Rs are focused on rushing through a Supreme Court nominee. It's shameful in every sense."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 23, 2020

Rep. Mike Bost
Oct. 23, 2020

Cotton, Colleagues Introduce Resolution Honoring Beirut Bombing Victims
Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
Oct. 23, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Robert Wilkie, Secretary of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs - Cortez Masto Raises Alarm Over Administration's Inability to Fully Implement Provisions Under President Trump's Executive Order to Expand Critical Mental Health Resources to Veterans
Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
Oct. 22, 2020
Tweet - "80% of the people leaving the workforce last month were women. The House passed the #HEROESAct months ago to help working moms & families get through this crisis. Senate Rs have yet to pass any kind of relief package whatsoever. It's time they get their act together. #MomsBailout"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Michael Pompeo, Secretary of the Dept. of State, the Hon. Chad Wolf, Under Secretary of the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans, and the Hon. Alex Azar, Secretary of the Dept. of Health and Human Services - Senate Democrats Denounce Trump Administration's Historically Low Refugee Resettlement Goal and Push for Increased Admissions
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Oct. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Judge Barrett's record is full of red flags when it comes to LGBTQ rights. If she is confirmed, the right of Americans to simply be who they are and love who they love is at risk. Marriage equality is at risk. We can't take that chance--I'm voting to #BlockBarrett."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2020
Underwood's Bipartisan Legislation to Address the Veteran Suicide Crisis Signed Into Law
Rep. Lauren Underwood
Oct. 22, 2020
Tweet - "A flawed, broken process to rush a SCOTUS nom. The future of so many critical rights & protections is in jeopardy. In my place in the Judiciary Committee today was a photo of Kenny from Tinley Park, IL, who depends on lifesaving care thanks to the ACA. This is what's at stake."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2020
Letter to General Daniel R. Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau - Feinstein, Wyden, Leahy, Schumer, Merkley, Colleagues Ask National Guard for Wildfire Readiness Assessment

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump has made it clear: he wants Judge Barrett to rip the ACA's health care protections away from the 100+ million Americans with pre-existing conditions, during a pandemic. Democrats understand what's at stake here. Will 4 Republican Senators have the courage to join us?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 21, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Yesterday I spoke with @SecPompeo & @HomelandKen to press them on the Trump Admin's dismal refugee resettlement plans. In the midst of the dire global refugee crisis, this Admin coddles dictators while cruelly closing our nation's doors to the most vulnerable."
