CBC Statement on Russian Attempts to Suppress African American Turnout in the 2016 Election
Rep. Danny Davis, ...
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "In today's era of "big data,' Americans are using the internet every day without fully understanding the consequences of every click and whether that click just handed over their personal data for unwanted uses. This is simply unacceptable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "When online companies don't do enough to protect your personal data, they need to be held accountable. That's why I support @SenBrianSchatz's #DataCareAct."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "Since the Trump Administration won't send a clear message that the murder of an American resident and journalist will not be tolerated, the Senate sent one itself yesterday. MBS is responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. To argue against that is to ignore the obvious."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 13, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 13, 2018
Tweet - "This debate and vote were long overdue. Not another taxpayer dollar or American life should be put on the line in support of this Saudi-led disaster in Yemen."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 13, 2018
Tweet - "A wall won't stop fentanyl but scanning devices and more customs officers will."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Dec. 12, 2018
Tweet - "Secretary Pompeo discredits himself, the State Department, and our nation with his false statements this morning on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. To argue the Crown Prince wasn't involved in this murder is to ignore the obvious and intelligence collected."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 11, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
