Rep. Bill Foster
July 8, 2020
Schakowsky Reacts to Supreme Court Ruling That Limits Access to Birth Control
Rep. Jan Schakowsky
July 8, 2020
Tweet - "The Supreme Court's ruling to further limit the ACA's provisions to require coverage for birth control is detrimental to women's health & reproductive rights. Women, not their employers, should be the ones making decisions about their health care."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 1, 2020

Following Landmark Supreme Court Decision On DACA, Durbin Attempts To Pass Dream & Promise Act On Senate Floor
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 30, 2020
Tweet - "As COVID-19 cases spike across the country, Sen. McConnell's top priority has been confirming judicial nominees instead of responding to this crisis. We need another relief effort ASAP. @SpeakerPelosi passed the #HeroesAct 6 weeks ago. It's time for the Senate to do the same."

Rep. Sean Casten
June 29, 2020
Tweet - "Glad to see SCOTUS recognize that the Louisiana law was yet another unconstitutional attack on a woman's right to choose and has no place in the modern United States."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 28, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump asked the Supreme Court to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. That would end health insurance for 20 million Americans in the midst of this pandemic with millions more now unemployed. The Trump alternative plan? He doesn't have one."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 26, 2020
Tweet - "During a global pandemic, the last thing our President should be doing is attempting to rip health insurance away from millions of Americans. Yet, that is exactly what President Trump did last night when he asked the Supreme Court to eliminate the Affordable Care Act."

Durbin Votes Against Cory Wilson's Nomination To The Fifth Circuit Court
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 24, 2020
Tweet - "For the 2nd week in a row, Senate Republicans have confirmed a Circuit Court nominee with a record of hostility toward the ACA. Even during one of the greatest public health crises in our nation's history, Republicans just won't let go of their obsession with attacking Obamacare."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "For the 2nd week in a row, the Senate is voting on a Circuit Court nominee who has been openly hostile toward the Affordable Care Act. Cory Wilson is an extreme partisan with radical views on health care & voting rights. I strongly oppose his nomination. #StopWilson"
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 19, 2020
Tweet - "Yesterday's Supreme Court decision was historic, but it was just the first step. We need to ensure the protection of #DACA recipients and pass the House-passed American Dream and Promise Act. #HomeIsHere"

Rep. Brad Schneider
June 18, 2020
Tweet - "This morning, the Supreme Court brought a smile & sigh of relief to more than 700,000 young people in the US. But our fight is not over. The Senate must take up the House-passed Dream & Promise Act to give all Dreamers a path to citizenship. #HomeIsHere."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 18, 2020
Tweet - "I first introduced the Dream Act nearly 20 years ago. And while today's Supreme Court decision is a victory for #Dreamers, it is not the path to citizenship that they deserve. The Senate must pass the Dream and Promise Act to solve this problem once and for all."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 18, 2020
Durbin Votes Against Nomination Of Justin Walker To D.C. Circuit Court
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 18, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Republicans just gave Justin Walker a lifetime appointment to the second highest court in the land for two main reasons: because Walker is a protégé of the Senate Majority Leader, and because he's an outspoken critic of the Affordable Care Act."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
June 17, 2020

Durbin To McConnell: Stop Holding Up COVID-19 Relief For Corporation Lawsuit Immunity
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 15, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump is now in open defiance of Chief Justice Roberts' decision rejecting the repeal of DACA & requiring the Trump Admin to reopen DACA for new applicants. The stakes are too high--both for the rule of law & lives of Dreamers--to dismiss this as yet another Trump outrage."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Duckworth Applauds Supreme Court Decision that Protects LGBTQ Employees
Sen. Ladda Duckworth
June 15, 2020
Tweet - "8 years ago today, President Obama announced the creation of #DACA. Sadly, the fate of hundreds of thousands of #Dreamers -- who know no other home outside of the U.S. -- is still up in the air."

Sen. Dick Durbin
June 11, 2020
Tweet - "As soon as next Monday, the Supreme Court could rule on the future of #DACA. If #SCOTUS upholds the President's cruel repeal of #DACA, he must change course & protect #Dreamers. And Sen. McConnell should give the #DreamAndPromiseAct a vote in the Senate to solve this crisis."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 11, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
June 11, 2020
Tweet - "110,000+ Americans have lost their lives to #COVID19. Massive, nationwide protests are calling for racial justice. And what are Senate R's focused on? Confirming right-wing judges & blocking an anti-lynching bill -- unacceptable dereliction of their duty as public servants."
