Title
07/26/2022
Tweet - "The January 6 Committee has answered many questions about that day in frightening detail. But above all else, it paints a portrait of a little man who cannot bring himself to accept reality. He is dragging his party--and perhaps most frighteningly, our democracy--down with him."
07/22/2022
Tweet - "#January6Committee makes it clear: Donald Trump binged on FOX while his mob attacked Capitol police officers."
07/13/2022
Tweet - "It's no secret that BOP has been plagued by misconduct, but I am hopeful that AG Garland and Deputy AG Monaco have chosen the right leader to clear out the bureaucratic rot and reform BOP. It is a tall order, and I look forward to working with Ms. Peters to help her succeed."
06/29/2022
Tweet - "Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony before the January 6 Committee has been praised as "courageous" and dismissed as "unbelievable." It's time for those present for some of the darkest moments for our democracy to come forward under oath and, like her, tell their stories."
06/10/2022
Tweet - "Special thanks to the January 6 Committee and especially Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger. Will the Illinois Republicans in our Congressional delegation stand by him or former President Trump?"
06/10/2022
Tweet - "Fox News' spineless refusal to broadcast the January 6 Committee hearing is a new low in American journalism. Fair and balanced? More like fearful and biased."
06/10/2022
Tweet - "After last night's opening of the January 6 Committee, it is clear that Senator McConnell's veto of a bipartisan commission was grounded in fear that the truth of that shameless day would anger Trump. History will not be kind to that brand of political cowardice."
06/10/2022
Tweet - "Hats off to the January 6 Committee for a professional and timely presentation of the role of former President Trump in the mob assault on our Capitol. Those of us who lived it want this infamous chapter in American history properly analyzed and preserved."
06/02/2022
Tweet - "If these reports prove accurate, this conduct almost certainly contravenes BOP policies, infringes on civil rights and possibly violates federal criminal laws. That's why I'm calling for an investigation into USP Thomson & announcing a @JudiciaryDems hearing on prison conditions."
04/04/2022
Tweet - "With January 6 and the Big Lie looming large, DOJ has a critical role to play in protecting our nation's election officials from threats of violence. DOJ has taken important steps to address this issue, but more must be done."
02/25/2022
Tweet - "Today's decision is a win for J&J, and a loss for the tens of thousands of victims of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma who are seeking to hold the company accountable. It is also a green light for other powerful corporations to use bankruptcy gimmicks to avoid responsibility."
12/09/2021
Durbin, Joined By Lee & Grassley, Attempts To Pass Bipartisan Inspector General Access Act
12/02/2021
Tweet - "Greg Harris is going to make an outstanding U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, my home district. He is a pillar of the Springfield community and will be the first Black U.S. Attorney in the district's history. I look forward to his full and final confirmation."
11/10/2021
Tweet - "Johnson & Johnson is attempting to deny tens of thousands of people their day in court by offloading its talc liabilities onto a new company created exclusively to protect the company's own assets--and leave cancer-victim claimants with pennies on the dollar."
10/27/2021
Tweet - "Anyone who engages in violence or threats of violence is stepping over the line of protected speech. Whether you are storming the Capitol or threatening members of your local school board with violence, it does not matter. Free speech does not include the incitement of violence."
10/27/2021
Tweet - "Hardly a day goes by in the city of Chicago where someone isn't killed by gunfire. The only way we're ever going to stop this violence is by getting guns out of the hands of criminals and off our streets. DOJ needs to be doing everything they can to make that happen."
01/27/2021
Tweet - "The Texas court's ruling stopping President Biden's deportation pause is proof positive that we need to legislate to fix our broken immigration system in a timely way."
12/07/2020
Tweet - "Trump judicial nominee Stephen Schwartz is yet another extreme & underqualified ideologue the Senate is considering this week. He has described Social Security as "harmful," advocated against DACA & repro rights, & defended restrictive voting practices. I strongly oppose his nom."
11/25/2020
Tweet - "The Senate Judiciary Committee has become a shell of its former self under a Republican majority. But under Democratic leadership, my colleagues and I would get to work on undoing the damage of the last four years and protecting fundamental civil and human rights."
11/23/2020
Tweet - "I want to thank @SenFeinstein for her distinguished leadership on the Judiciary Committee during turbulent years. She has been a champion for common-sense gun safety, reproductive rights, and many other issues of critical importance to the American people."
11/23/2020
Tweet - "I intend to seek the top Democratic position on the Judiciary Committee in the 117th Congress. We have to roll up our sleeves and get to work on undoing the damage of the last four years and protecting fundamental civil and human rights."
09/02/2020
Tweet - "America needs lawyers & judges who are committed to justice & the rule of law to help steer us safely through these turbulent times. Good to talk to @AppLawAssoc lawyers, especially about the importance of making pro bono and legal aid services available for those in need."
08/10/2020
Tweet - "Senator McConnell's plan for liability immunity is a massive corporate giveaway that will do nothing to make Americans safer or help reduce the spread of #COVID19. No wonder Senate Republicans kept it secret for so long."
07/29/2020
Tweet - "The Republican corporate immunity bill does nothing to protect workers, improve safety standards, or give businesses incentives to take proper precautions to reduce the spread of #COVID19. In fact, this bill does just the opposite."
07/21/2020
Tweet - "Senator McConnell's "red line" on liability immunity for businesses will not make America safer. It would make the current situation even worse. Our top priority must be protecting workers and families from #COVID19--not protecting businesses from being held accountable."
