Tweet - "As we seek to re-open our economy in Illinois & across the country, contact tracing will be key. I'm calling on Illinois community colleges to partner with the State of Illinois and local health departments to recruit and organize training courses for #COVID19 contact tracers."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 16, 2020
Tweet - "We know we need another COVID relief bill to help struggling families & keep local govts from having to lay off firefighters, teachers, & EMTs. The House passed the #HEROESAct to provide this much-needed emergency assistance. It's been sitting on Sen. McConnell's desk ever since."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Tweet - "110,000+ Americans have lost their lives to #COVID19. Massive, nationwide protests are calling for racial justice. And what are Senate R's focused on? Confirming right-wing judges & blocking an anti-lynching bill -- unacceptable dereliction of their duty as public servants."
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 11, 2020
Tweet - "This week's election in Georgia was frighteningly mismanaged. And it may be a troubling sign of what to expect in November as Republicans around the country seek to make it harder to vote during the ongoing pandemic."
