Sen. Dick Durbin
April 11, 2018
Tweet - "Morning read: I've received radio silence from the Burmese Embassy on multiple requests for answers on this. Imprisoning these @Reuters journalists is a blatant attempt to suppress the ghastly truth of genocide in Myanmar. I'll continue to urge for their safe release."

Executive Session
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 11, 2018

Sen. Ladda Duckworth
April 8, 2018
Tweet - "My heart breaks for the people of Syria and the victims of this barbaric attack. As we've seen today and countless times before, Assad's cruelty, with Putin's support, knows no bounds. His continued use of chemical weapons on his own people is a stain on humanity itself."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 6, 2018
Tweet - "President Trump's trade wars will hit agriculture hard in Illinois and across America. That means unnecessary hardship for farmers, and more expensive food for all of us."

April 5, 2018
Letter to Thomas D. Homan, Acting Director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement - Policy Allowing Increased Detention of Pregnant Women
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
April 5, 2018
Facebook - "President Donald J. Trump is no friend of the American farmer and the escalating trade war with China highlights this point. My friends at the Illinois Farm Bureau agree with me that the "Trump tariffs" are negatively impacting "Illinois" and "Midwest" hog and soybean farmers. IFB's Vice President Brian Duncan discussed it with CNN. I will keep fighting every day for Illinois farmers (and Midwest farmers) and will continue working to expand opportunities for them to bring their products to market without burdensome foreign tariffs. Trump's misguided and ill-conceived trade war with China and other nations will have a massive and negative impact on Illinois and Midwest farmers and rural communities. In particular, two newly announced Chinese tariffs will dynamically impact Illinois pork producers and soybean growers. Illinois is home to more than 40,000 soybean growers and 2,000 pork producers. These new tariffs, which are a direct result of President Trump's flawed rhetoric and policies, will cripple farmers who are already struggling under record-low commodity prices. Instead of working to empower and grow rural communities and farming families, the President's policies are at risk of killing their livelihood and ending Illinois' rich family farming tradition."
Rep. Robin Kelly

Letter to the Honorable Lisa Murkowski, Chairman and the Honorable Maria Cantwell, Ranking Member, Committe on Energy and Natural Resources - Call for Investigation into Puerto Rico's Ongoing Power Woes

April 3, 2018
Tweet - "I'm not sure which country he's getting his inspiration from, but here in the United States, the President does not have the legal authority to use the women and men of our Armed Forces for his own personal boondoggles."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 2, 2018
Tweet - "The only person the country needs on the "DACA bandwagon" is the President. He's rejected deal after deal to save the program he unilaterally chose to end."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 2, 2018
Tweet - "The President is blaming everyone under the sun, but he only has to look in the mirror to find the person who turned down six different bipartisan DACA deals from Congress - a few that included funding for his useless wall. This is a crisis of his own creation."

Tweet - "Senator Dick Durbin Retweeted Washington Post President Trump wants immigrants to pay higher taxes, and make it harder for people to claim legal status as a result. Is being employed and properly paying your taxes now no match for this Administration's anti-immigrant agenda?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
March 27, 2018
