Tweet - "Whether it's a Grammy-winning chart-topper or a new song from an up-and-comer, every original tune should have protections from theft and infringement. Great to host @Jason_Mraz today to talk about the importance of the CASE Act for singers and songwriters."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 10, 2019
Tweet - "Tomorrow, Senate Republicans will rubber stamp Lawrence VanDyke for a lifetime appointment to serve as a 9th Circuit judge. Mr. VanDyke's extreme statements on LGBTQ rights, women's reproductive rights, & gun safety make him entirely unfit for this appointment. #StopVanDyke"

Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 4, 2019
Tweet - "Sarah Pitlyk was an unqualified nominee with radical views, but Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped her for a lifetime judgeship. Inexperienced, radical judges diminish our system of justice. It's deeply troubling that Senate Republicans just don't seem to care."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 3, 2019
Tweet - "I'm concerned by the potential outcomes of June Medical Services LLC v. Gee, which is currently pending before the Supreme Court & presents a direct challenge to the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. It could be disastrous for women's reproductive rights & access to health care."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 19, 2019
