Politician
Sept. 3, 2019
Tweet - "It's unthinkable that the President would take funding away from our troops in order to pay for his vanity project at the border. Fulfilling a failed campaign promise is no excuse for this overreach in authority. Congress must put our service members first."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 3, 2019
Tweet - "Gun violence took 7 lives and injured 34 more in Chicago over Labor Day weekend. Senator McConnell must not hold up the House-passed, commonsense gun safety legislation any longer. This has to be our top priority in the Senate this fall."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 1, 2019
Tweet - "The shooting in Odessa, Texas yesterday is a tragedy that is far too familiar in American life these days. My heart breaks for the victims and their families. We must come together as a nation to stop this senseless violence."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 1, 2019
Tweet - "Another tragic mass shooting, and my heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. We must take meaningful action to implement common sense gun safety measures at the federal level. That has to be our main priority in the Senate this fall."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 30, 2019

Sen. Ladda Duckworth
Aug. 29, 2019

Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
Aug. 29, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 28, 2019
Pregnancy-Related Deaths Discussed at Hearing in Oak Lawn
Rep. Robin Kelly
Aug. 28, 2019
Tweet - "Deporting children with cancer is about as low as you can sink. This is yet another step in the Trump Administration's heartless campaign to use immigration to divide us. But I have faith in the American people - we are a kind and generous nation and we will reject this cruelty."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 28, 2019
Tweet - "How is punishing the children of American troops Making America Great? These are the sons and daughters of the brave men and women who are dedicating their lives to keeping our nation safe. They have every right to be born United States citizens."

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 28, 2019
Tweet - "With Tropical Storm Dorian bearing down on Puerto Rico, the Trump Admin is raiding millions of dollars of disaster relief funds so they can detain more immigrants. Putting Americans at risk to serve the President's anti-immigrant agenda is beyond the pale."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 28, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 27, 2019
