Politician
Aug. 19, 2020
Tweet - "The President's EOs on #COVID19 relief have quickly been exposed as unworkable & unhelpful. Republicans need to return to the negotiating table & work with Dems to pass comprehensive legislation to help the American people weather this storm."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 18, 2020
Tweet - "The 19th Amendment was ratified 100 yrs ago today, giving women the right to vote. As we celebrate this historic day & the brave suffragettes who serve as an inspiration to so many, we cannot forget that it did not end the struggle for voting rights--especially for women of color."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 18, 2020
Tweet - "It's undeniable that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, likely on behalf of the Trump campaign. And they are already back at it again in this election. Senate Republicans need to put politics aside & stop blocking legislation to secure our elections."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 17, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump made a mess of the pandemic & now he's making a mess of the postal service. Sen. McConnell should bring the Senate back to Washington immediately to stop the destruction of @USPS --we never should have left without making a deal on #COVID19 relief in the first place."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2020
Tweet - "The Trump Admin was already defying SCOTUS by refusing new #DACA applications. Now a nonpartisan investigation finds the DHS head who issued this policy was illegally appointed. @senatemajldr must stop blocking #DreamAndPromiseAct, which the House passed more than a year ago."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2020
Tweet - "The turmoil and uncertainty around the coming national election is the creation of a President hellbent on re-election. America deserves better. It is time to pass my Constitutional amendment guaranteeing our right to vote."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 14, 2020
Tweet - ". @UofILSystem is leading the way with a contact tracing & testing strategy for the coming school year that holds the promise of benefiting students & faculty at public universities in IL. Great to speak with U of I Pres Killeen yesterday about working toward a safe fall semester."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 14, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 14, 2020
Tweet - "We can't let Pres Trump & Republicans get away with their scheme to suppress the vote by dismantling @USPS . Democrats will keep doing everything we can to make sure @USPS receives funding in the next #COVID19 relief bill so Americans can safely vote this fall. #DontMessWithUSPS"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "During this unprecedented time--the confluence of a deadly pandemic and an election where voting by mail will be more necessary than ever--an effective Postal Service is vital to public health and our democracy. More on my thoughts in @Suntimes :"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "#BlackWomensEqualPayDay is a reminder that we still haven't achieved #PaycheckFairness and closed the wage gap, especially for women of color. I'm proud to cosponsor the Paycheck Fairness Act and will keep fighting to achieve equal pay for all."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "Here is President Trump openly admitting he wants to make it harder for Americans to vote this fall, during a pandemic. The only way he can get away with this is if Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are complicit."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "Every American must be able to safely exercise their right to vote. The Trump Administration's ongoing efforts to delay mail & the delivery of mail-in ballots during this pandemic are abhorrent. I joined @SenateDems in demanding answers for unacceptable delays at @USPS ."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "Congressional Democrats are willing to meet Republicans half way on #COVID19 relief, but we can't talk to an empty chair. When negotiations resume, I hope Sen. McConnell and Rep. McCarthy will actually show up this time. The American people need Congress to do its job."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2020
Tweet - "Nearly 8M student borrowers weren't eligible for CARES Act student loan relief & won't benefit from the President's executive order. I'm joining my colleagues in calling for congressional action to ensure 43M federal student loan borrowers get relief during this crisis."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 12, 2020
Tweet - "The President's executive order on unemployment benefits was a cheap political stunt. The only realistic way to extend these benefits is by passing comprehensive #COVID19 relief through Congress, which @SenateGOP have been blocking since May."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 12, 2020
Tweet - "Joined the @ChicagoBarAssoc for a discussion about the Justice in Policing Act, @SenateDems plan for bold, comprehensive police reform. Give it a listen here:"
