Durbin Discusses Illinois Priorities With National Guard Chief
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 10, 2020
Durbin Condemns President Trump's Reopening Comments Disparaging U.S. Service Members On Senate Floor
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 9, 2020
Tweet - "Going to the Senate floor with @SenDuckworth to speak out against President Trump's reported comments disparaging U.S. servicemembers, where he allegedly called those who were injured or killed in battle "losers" and "suckers." Watch live here:"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 5, 2020
Tweet - "The State of Illinois and the men and women of America's military are blessed to have the clear, courageous voice of @SenDuckworth . And I am fortunate to call her my colleague and friend."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 4, 2020
Tweet - "We all heard Pres. Trump disrespect John McCain and his incredible sacrifice for our country. We all heard him disparage Gold Star families. Those words are on video. Why would he be less contemptuous of our service members when the cameras are not rolling? A sad day."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 3, 2020
Tweet - "In just the last few months President Trump has let Putin get away with: Poisoning his opposition Putting bounties on US troops in Afghanistan Ramming US military personnel in Syria All without saying a word. Putin has him wrapped around his finger."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 2, 2020
Tweet - "Mark Frerichs has been a prisoner in Afghanistan since January. His release should be a top priority for the Trump Admin as it negotiates a possible US withdrawal. As @SenDuckworth & I told the President last month--we stand ready to help however we can."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Still waiting for President Trump to speak up in support of the brave Belarusians aspiring for freedom after a sham election... or about poisoned Russian opposition leader Navalny... or reported Russian bounties on American troops."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 28, 2020
Tweet - "The @NationalGuard has been critical in implementing testing plans & supporting medical professionals during the #COVID19 crisis. The federal government must pay the full cost of keeping Guardsmen on the ground as states struggle with their own significant revenue loss."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 21, 2020
Tweet - "American servicemembers rely on @USPS for the delivery of medications, bills, letters from home, and so much more--including ballots. Any attempt to make absentee voting more difficult amounts to disenfranchising the very Americans serving & sacrificing on the frontlines."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
July 29, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
July 29, 2020
Tweet - "This is shameful. American service members deserve better from their Commander in Chief. I've been briefed by General Milley & CIA Director Haspel on the bounties. The President should talk with his own military & intelligence leaders before dismissing this as "fake news.""
