Politician
Nov. 5, 2020
Tweet - "Here's a Civics 101 lesson, Mr. President. You don't get to demand that only some votes count. That is not how democracy works. Every single vote must be counted & every single vote will be counted."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 4, 2020
Tweet - "No President decides the outcome of an election. The courts do not decide the outcome of an election. It is the voters who decide the outcome of an election, and every single one of their ballots must be counted. #Election2020"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 3, 2020
Tweet - "#ElectionDay is here! Make sure your voice is heard. Find your polling place at http://vote.gov."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 2, 2020
Tweet - "There is no excuse for Sen. McConnell's failure on COVID-19 relief. He spent 6 months sitting on his hands while Americans suffered. Then he used the last weeks before the election to ram through his SCOTUS nominee, ignoring health, economic, housing & hunger needs of Americans."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 2, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Christopher Wray, Dir. of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Congressman Cohen Asks FBI Director to Investigate Efforts to Deny Voters the Right to a Free and Fair Election

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 31, 2020
Tweet - "#ElectionDay is right around the corner. It's vitally important that every vote is counted and every voice is heard. Make sure you have a voting plan by going to http://vote.gov today."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Are you prepared for #ElectionDay? You can find information on how, where, and when to vote at http://vote.gov"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 30, 2020
Letter to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, Inc. - E&C Leaders Urge Facebook to Practice Transparency and Work with NYU Program Conducting Political Advertising Research

Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
Oct. 29, 2020
CNN "The Lead with Jake Tapper" - Transcript: Interview with Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi
Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
Oct. 29, 2020
Tweet - "For months small businesses & nonprofits in Illinois have been desperate for federal assistance to survive this pandemic. Despite pleas for help, Majority Leader McConnell & Senate Republicans plugged their ears & fast-tracked a Supreme Court nomination."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump wants to turn Voice of America into his own state-run propaganda machine like other autocrats he admires."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 28, 2020

Michael Rigas, Acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management and Acting Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget - House Democrats Call for Halt to President's Executive Order Politicizing the Civil Service and Demand Analyses of Potential Effects
Rep. Robin Kelly, ...
Oct. 28, 2020
Tweet - "The ACA protects millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions. But Republicans want SCOTUS to strike it down & rushed a new justice to the Court to help. We can't return to dark days of higher costs & less care for sick patients. I'll keep fighting to save the ACA."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Sen. McConnell spent 5 straight days on the Senate floor jamming through the Barrett nomination. Five days for a partisan power grab. But no time for meaningful, bipartisan #COVID19 relief. His priorities are crystal clear."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Originalism is the MAGA of judicial philosophies. We cannot allow an 18th century understanding of the Constitution to dictate what happens in 21st century America."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump has been clear that he wanted Justice Barrett on the Court to help him in election challenges. Democrats asked Justice Barrett at her hearing to commit to recuse herself from cases involving the ongoing election, and she refused. This left a cloud over her nomination."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Justice Amy Coney Barrett's walk through the White House with President Trump was a campaign ad. Republicans want the Supreme Court to strike down the ACA and tilt the election their way. It was a sad day for the Court and our country, but we will fight tooth and nail."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Congressman Krishnamoorthi Announces Resolution Condemning "Superspreader" Events In Wake Of Outbreaks Following President Trump's Rallies
Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "From start to finish, Republicans disregarded the COVID-19 pandemic in their rush to confirm Judge Barrett before Election Day. All the while #COVID19 cases spiked across the US. They gave up on helping the American people to pursue a partisan power grab. Shameful."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Justice Kavanaugh & his conservative allies last night disenfranchised Wisconsin voters whose ballots are mailed before Election Day but arrive after. Voter suppression is alive and well in the GOP. It's clear that we must enact my Constitutional guarantee of a right to vote."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Congressman García's Statement on Amy Coney Barrett's Confirmation to the Supreme Court
Rep. Chuy Garcia
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Adding Judge Barrett to form a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court is a direct threat to Americans' access to affordable health care, voting rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality, & more. I will vote no on her nomination because I know #WhatsAtStake."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 26, 2020
Tweet - "FACT CHECK: Republicans claim Judge Barrett will be a neutral umpire & Democrats want courts to be "super-legislatures" with unelected judges making laws. In fact, right-wing judicial activists have repeatedly used originalism & textualism to overturn duly-enacted laws."
