Aug. 27, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States - Emmer Supports Continued Actions to Confront Iran
Rep. Darin LaHood, ...
Aug. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Mail-order prescriptions are a lifeline for vulnerable populations during this pandemic. These delays are absolutely unacceptable. Postmaster General DeJoy needs to get USPS back to running at full capacity immediately."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 26, 2020
Tweet - "The CDC must immediately explain why they are dramatically altering their COVID-19 testing recommendations. These decisions must be based on science--not political interference--and the CDC owes the American public an explanation."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 25, 2020
Tweet - "The Trump Admin's illegally appointed Acting DHS Secretary is breaking the law. Again. @DHS had no right to pause DACA renewals in the first place. SCOTUS rejected Pres. Trump's repeal of DACA. That means the Trump Admin must fully reopen DACA or the courts will force them to."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Instead of undermining the integrity of the dedicated public servants at the FDA, the President should be focused on supporting our federal agencies as they work to develop a safe & effective COVID-19 vaccine. This nonsense about the "deep state" will do far more harm than good."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 25, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 24, 2020
Tweet - "When I heard that children's hospitals like @LurieChildrens were getting shut out of #COVID19 funding, I reached out to @SecAzar to ask him to reconsider. Pleased that my appeal was heard & Lurie received $23M last week. Great speaking to Dr. Shanley today about this new funding."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 24, 2020

Tweet - "Proud of @Illinois_Alma for leading the way & getting @US_FDA emergency authorization on its new #COVID19 saliva test. As I told Pres. Killeen, this is a testament to our efforts to invest in scientific research in IL. Fast, accurate testing will be key to containing this virus."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 19, 2020
Tweet - "The President's EOs on #COVID19 relief have quickly been exposed as unworkable & unhelpful. Republicans need to return to the negotiating table & work with Dems to pass comprehensive legislation to help the American people weather this storm."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 18, 2020
Tweet - "It's undeniable that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, likely on behalf of the Trump campaign. And they are already back at it again in this election. Senate Republicans need to put politics aside & stop blocking legislation to secure our elections."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 17, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump made a mess of the pandemic & now he's making a mess of the postal service. Sen. McConnell should bring the Senate back to Washington immediately to stop the destruction of @USPS --we never should have left without making a deal on #COVID19 relief in the first place."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2020
Tweet - "The Trump Admin was already defying SCOTUS by refusing new #DACA applications. Now a nonpartisan investigation finds the DHS head who issued this policy was illegally appointed. @senatemajldr must stop blocking #DreamAndPromiseAct, which the House passed more than a year ago."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 14, 2020
Tweet - ". @UofILSystem is leading the way with a contact tracing & testing strategy for the coming school year that holds the promise of benefiting students & faculty at public universities in IL. Great to speak with U of I Pres Killeen yesterday about working toward a safe fall semester."
