Rep. Lauren Underwood
Dec. 10, 2019
Tweet - "As Pres. Trump welcomes Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the White House today, Ukraine is still waiting for an Oval Office meeting. We know that Russia is planning to interfere in our election again--they deserve sanctions & a warning, not invitations to the White House."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Rep. Danny Davis, ...
Dec. 9, 2019
Tweet - "I hope Pres. Trump & Sec. Pompeo focus their meetings with Russian officials on firmly warning against future election interference, Russian assassinations in the West, and renewing the New Start Treaty instead of parroting the Kremlin's propaganda like others in their party."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 6, 2019
Tweet - "The shootings in Pearl Harbor and Pensacola this week are heartbreaking. My prayers are with the victims and their families, and with all those suffering from our nation's epidemic of gun violence."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Dec. 2, 2019

Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "Remember--back in August, after the tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, & Odessa, Pres. Trump & the GOP promised to work with Democrats to address gun violence. But nothing has happened since. No plans presented, no compromises delivered. A tragic failure in leadership."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "My heart goes out to the victims and those traumatized by shootings like the Santa Clarita school shooting today. Sadly, tragedies like this can--and should--be prevented. We must come together as a nation to address the gun violence crisis. There's no other way."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "Devastating reports of yet another school shooting. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Senate Dems *today* asked that the Senate take up the bipartisan background checks bill that the House passed in February. Senate Rs objected, saying the bill "should not be fast tracked.""
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019

Rep. Mike Quigley
Nov. 7, 2019
Tweet - "Racism & hatred have no place in our society, and the rise in hate crimes is more proof that Congress must act to stem the rising tide of violent white supremacism. My Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act would enhance the federal government's efforts to prevent domestic terrorism."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 5, 2019
Tweet - "The American people want Congress to address gun violence. They want us to secure our elections. Well--the House did just that, passing legislation to address both issues. But Senator McConnell won't even let us vote on them in the Senate--his legislative graveyard goes on."

Nov. 5, 2019
Tweet - "Our elections are under attack. But Senator McConnell & the GOP continue to refuse to pass any meaningful legislation to address this threat. We must end the legislative graveyard in the Senate and secure our elections. Our democracy is at stake."
