Politician
Sept. 25, 2019
Tweet - "This is devastating. My thoughts are with the family and friends of Kentayvia Blackful. Families in America shouldn't have to go through this. We must be better - we owe it to our children."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 23, 2019

Rep. Lauren Underwood, ...
Sept. 23, 2019
Tweet - "The details in this story are disturbing, but unsurprising. For far too long, we've allowed e-cigarettes companies like JUUL to target our children with their dangerous and addictive products. This is the result. #VapingTargetsKids"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 20, 2019
Butterfield introduces bill to support children with Cancer and other rare diseases
Rep. Robin Kelly, ...
Sept. 20, 2019
Tweet - "#VapingTargetsKids. It's time we get e-cigs off the market until we find out if they're actually safe or not. Today, Walmart is stepping up and ending e-cig sales - as I urged them to do in Feb. I hope they soon remove another dangerous product from their shelves: cigarettes."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 20, 2019
Tweet - "Great to see @CBS, @WarnerMediaGrp, and @Viacom drop the misleading ads for e-cigarette companies like JUUL. #VapingTargetsKids with these ads, so this is an important step towards keeping these dangerous and addictive products out of the hands of our children."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 20, 2019
Tweet - "With 500+ cases of vaping-related illnesses and now 8 deaths, this can't wait any longer. I'm joining @lisamurkowski, @SenJeffMerkley, & @SenBlumenthal in urging the @US_FDA to pull unapproved, kid-popular e-cigarette devices from the market, unless or until they are proven safe."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 20, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Sept. 19, 2019
Tweet - "Although #ChildMortality is declining, the world still lost 5.3 million children under 5 last year, mostly from preventable or treatable causes. That's why I support continued US leadership for maternal, newborn, & child health programs around the world."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2019
Tweet - "It's time to start taxing e-cigs. The single best way to keep these products out of the hands of kids is to price it out of their range. That's why we passed taxes on cigarettes years ago, & it's why I'm introducing a bill later today to start doing the same to e-cigarettes."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2019

Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
Sept. 19, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 19, 2019
Tweet - "Proud to join @CongressmanRaja and @RepPeteKing in leading the bipartisan, bicameral Caucus to #EndYouthVaping. Like Big Tobacco before them, #VapingTargetsKids for a reason. They're trying to hook an entire generation on nicotine. We must not allow that to happen."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2019
Tweet - "Children shouldn't have to fear for their lives every day when they go to school, but that's the sad reality of living in America today. It breaks my heart. Leader McConnell, it's time to listen to the American people. Call a vote on the bipartisan background checks bill today."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2019
Tweet - "I commend the @CDCgov for the work they are doing to help children born with heart defects. Last year, @SenToddYoung and I passed legislation to increase this research, education, and support for our youngest patients."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 18, 2019
Tweet - "If President Trump is going to deny the science behind climate change, then Congress must step up and take the lead. That's why I'm joining @SenatorBennet & other @SenateDems to introduce the Clean Air, Healthy Kids Act. We must reject the President's anti-climate agenda."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 17, 2019
Tweet - "I had the chance to sit down with @KSHCF founder Kimberly Wade today, who shared her story about her son Jonny's fight with pediatric brain cancer. No family should have to go through that -- I'm immensely grateful for the work of Kimberly and her remarkable organization."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 14, 2019
