Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 4, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 3, 2019
Tweet - "It's unthinkable that the President would take funding away from our troops in order to pay for his vanity project at the border. Fulfilling a failed campaign promise is no excuse for this overreach in authority. Congress must put our service members first."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 31, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 29, 2019
Tweet - "This is a start, but if @US_FDA was doing their job in the first place, it wouldn't be necessary. Vaping companies like JUUL are blatantly targeting our nation's children with their dangerous and addictive products. It has to stop."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 29, 2019
Tweet - "Marketing addictive products to kids. Calling their products safe, despite evidence to the contrary. Sound familiar? Big Vape is taking a page right out of Big Tobacco's playbook. @US_FDA needs to do its job and tell the public the truth about e-cigs."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 28, 2019
