Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
May 17, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
May 17, 2019
Tweet - "Today, the House made history and passed the bipartisan #EqualityAct. This is a common sense bill that would protect LGBTQ Americans from discrimination. Leader McConnell should stop making the Senate a legislative graveyard and bring this important bill to the floor right away."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 17, 2019
Tweet - "No serious proposal for immigration reform can fail to address the #DACA crisis created by President Trump. The Rose Garden immigration proposal ignores the need for bipartisan comprehensive reform."

Sen. Dick Durbin
May 16, 2019
Tweet - "Yesterday Senate Republicans rubber stamped Kenneth Lee to the 9th Circuit. To say Lee's writings are extreme would be an understatement. He wrote, "Charges of sexism often amount to nothing but irrelevant pouting." This is someone who deserved a lifetime federal judgeship?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 16, 2019
Tweet - "The Republican-led Congress went to extraordinary lengths to investigate Hillary Clinton's emails. Why is it all of a sudden unreasonable for a Democratic-led Congress to subpoena witnesses & documents from this Administration concerning an act of cyber war against our democracy?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 16, 2019
Tweet - "Republicans just approved Wendy Vitter to serve on the federal bench. While moderating a panel, she told an audience to urge their doctors to put in their waiting rooms a brochure entitled "The Pill Kills." This is someone who deserved a lifetime federal judgeship?"
