Aug. 16, 2018 Tweet - "When President Trump calls the press "fake news" or the "enemy of the people," it discredits an important part of America's democracy. It takes a free press to hold politicians of both parties accountable. That's their job, and it's more important now than ever before." Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 16, 2018 Tweet - "Today I joined my colleague @SenJohnKennedy in commending the DEA for taking steps--three years in a row--to reduce the number of opioids allowed to be produced in the U.S. by Big Pharma https://www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/durbin-kennedy-applaud-dea-for-lowering-opioid-quotas-for-third-year-in-a-row …" Sen.

Dick Durbin

Aug. 15, 2018 Tweet - " I've shared over 100 Dreamer stories on the Senate floor. Despite the contributions #Dreamers are making in our communities, Pres Trump heartlessly ended the #DACA program last year.

Aug. 9, 2018 Tweet - "AG Sessions and DHS Sec. Nielsen are doing all they can to make it harder for immigrant victims of domestic violence and gang violence to gain safety. We have to hold this anti-immigrant White House accountable every step of the way." Sen. Dick Durbin

Aug. 2, 2018 Tweet - "Trump Admin officials told us this week that giving them the authority to indefinitely detain parents & kids together would help solve the crisis at the border they created.

July 31, 2018 Tweet - "The Trump Admin's child separation policy is more than a bureaucratic lapse in judgment. It is -- and was -- a cruel policy inconsistent with the bedrock values of this nation.
