Durbin Joins Klobuchar To Call On Senate To Pass Legislation To Protect Elections During COVID-19 Pandemic
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 30, 2020
Tweet - "The Trump Admin is moving full steam ahead with efforts to dismantle the ACA & rip health care away from millions in the midst of a global pandemic. Today @SenateDems introduced a resolution condemning this effort & asking DOJ to defend the ACA during this public health emergency"
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 29, 2020
Tweet - "Could not agree with @RepChuyGarcia more--no one should lose their housing during a pandemic. Proud to join him, @SenWarren , @RepBarbaraLee , and other Senate & House Democrats to introduce legislation to protect renters & extend the nationwide moratorium on evictions."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 29, 2020
Tweet - "The Affordable Care Act protects Americans with pre-existing conditions from discrimination. With over 2 million (and counting) already diagnosed with a new pre-existing condition--#COVID19--President Trump wants to abolish the ACA and offers no protection for their future."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 29, 2020
Tweet - "Record-breaking numbers of new #COVID19 infections remind us that President Trump was wrong in calling for early reopening's, refusing to wear a mask, and stopping testing. Our nation is desperate for responsible leadership."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 29, 2020
Tweet - "The response to #COVID19 in our federal prisons has been downright dangerous. Pres. Trump & DOJ must protect vulnerable inmates now to prevent additional outbreaks in federal prisons and surrounding communities."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 29, 2020
Subcommittee Chair Krishnamoorthi Joins CBS 60 Minutes to Discuss His Coronavirus Antibody Testing Investigation
Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
June 28, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump asked the Supreme Court to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. That would end health insurance for 20 million Americans in the midst of this pandemic with millions more now unemployed. The Trump alternative plan? He doesn't have one."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 27, 2020
Tweet - "In the midst of a global pandemic, it would seem that asking the U.S. to join other countries in searching for therapies & vaccines is just common sense. Last month, I introduced a resolution to reaffirm our commitment to this global effort despite the President's inaction."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 27, 2020
Tweet - "As all of Illinois enters Phase 4 of our reopening plan, it was great to visit @FarmBarLakeview in Chicago yesterday for a meal and discussion about federal small business assistance."

Senate Passes Durbin Resolution To Reaffirm U.S. Commitment To Global Effort To Find COVID-19 Vaccine
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 26, 2020
Tweet - "During a global pandemic, the last thing our President should be doing is attempting to rip health insurance away from millions of Americans. Yet, that is exactly what President Trump did last night when he asked the Supreme Court to eliminate the Affordable Care Act."

Durbin Presses HHS Secretary Azar On Illinois Hospital Funding
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 25, 2020
Tweet - ". @gatesfoundation has been a phenomenal leader in the global effort to find a #COVID19 vaccine. Great to speak with @melindagates to thank her for the foundation's generous funding & commitment to the cause, while the President continues to opt the US out of the global effort."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 25, 2020
Tweet - "During the #COVID19 crisis, hospitals have been challenged more than ever, especially safety net hospitals that serve some of our most vulnerable communities. Spoke today with @SecAzar to urge him to get federal funding to hospitals in need as quickly as possible."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 25, 2020
Tweet - "As #COVID19 cases spike across the country, our state & local gov'ts are struggling to keep up. Congress must step in & provide federal funding to help states, cities, & towns maintain the essential public services we need to beat this pandemic & safely reopen. #FundtheFrontLines"
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 25, 2020
Tweet - "200,000+ #DACA recipients are "essential critical infrastructure workers" as defined by the Trump DHS. 41,700 are health care workers on the frontlines of this pandemic. Yesterday I went to the Senate floor to talk about one of these young #ImmigrantHealthHeroes--Diana Jimenez"
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 25, 2020
Tweet - "For years, inversion loopholes have allowed American companies to evade their tax obligations. I'm teaming up with @RepLloydDoggett to introduce a bill ensuring that these companies can't benefit from American taxpayer funded CARES Act financial relief."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 24, 2020
Tweet - "Our health care professionals are doing heroic work to fight #COVID19, but this crisis has highlighted the need to bolster our health workforce to address shortages, medical disparities, & respond to emergencies. I'm partnering with @SenRubioPress to get it done."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 24, 2020
Tweet - "Just yesterday, the U.S. recorded its 3rd highest coronavirus case count since this pandemic began. So today, the Trump Admin. announces that it will cut off federal funding to operate #COVID19 testing sites in Illinois & 4 other states. This decision defies common sense."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 24, 2020
Tweet - "Up to 392,000 Illinoisans will not automatically receive their $1,200 #COVID19 stimulus checks from the federal gov't. If you do not file taxes or receive certain federal benefits, but are still eligible for this payment--just submit the form found here:"
