This week’s DOJ report on pervasive sexual abuse in our nation’s federal prisons is evidence of the desperate need for reform. The new Director, Colette Peters, needs to show resolve and Congress needs to back her efforts to clean up this sorry mess
On this Festival of Lights of Diwali, I hope that you are blessed with health, happiness, and prosperity. Wishing all those celebrating a Happy #Diwali!
I Am ALS's No Ordinary Campaign film follows @bsw5020 & @sabrevaya as they fight for their lives, & the lives of all ALS patients. The film is both heartbreaking & heartwarming, & shows how a patient-led movement can change the world. I am lucky to know these incredible people. https://t.co/DnQefrwB5J
Yesterday I visited Unity Point to discuss the importance of disability rights and English-learner services in schools. Inclusivity is essential for our students, and I’ll continue advocating for schools to ensure education is accessible to all. https://t.co/ZeDf8nJ1zn
Premier Urgent Care is the only black-owned urgent care in the city of Chicago. Today I had the opportunity to stop by and learn more about the vital services they offer communities in the South Side. https://t.co/sbvBpErRDY
I’m glad to have played a part in helping ensure @MWRDGC has the funding it needs to begin this project and I will continue working with MWRD, the project partners, and the Illinois delegation to secure federal funding for such projects.
Maybe something along the lines of You may love them on the big screen or the basketball court, but you shouldn’t rely on your favorite celebrities and athletes when it comes to financial advice. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. https://t.co/ZpFryjXtdq
Following a difficult 4th of July in Illinois, the Senate is back in session today and I am on the floor discussing the tragedy in Highland Park, remembering the victims and calling for action on assault weapons. Watch live here: https://t.co/qAMSOMJmiR

Perhaps something like: Humbling words from a brave Russian patriot languishing in Putin’s gulag. Recently, the Senate unanimously called for his and Alexei Navalny’s release—and we will not stop. https://t.co/xK4NW9Av2W
I met w/ Finnish President Sauli Niinisto @ the Munich Security Conference. Finland’s decision to seek NATO membership reflects the reality of their 800 mile border w/ Putin’s Russia & the global reaction against the invasion of Ukraine. NATO will be stronger w/ Finland & Sweden. https://t.co/KqXmRYufIF
RT @ACTforNIH: "We are looking all the time for good news and hope, and that is why we look to NIH." -- @SenatorDurbin at #NIH Caucus event
I got a firsthand look at how hospitals are reaching beyond their walls to partner with the community. I toured @UIHealth’s school-based health center and met some amazing students and staff at @DrakeElementary who discussed the benefits of having an in-school clinic. https://t.co/ZXBNF9QANx
I also toured @LurieChildrens Mobile Health Unit, which can drive right to neighborhoods in need to provide care. I recently secured federal funding that will allow Lurie Children’s Hospital to purchase another mobile health van and expand their reach. https://t.co/LyrJPoXCSP
Today I joined @IHAhospitals and community leaders to unveil the three-year report of the Chicago HEAL Initiative. This hospital collaboration I launched is addressing the root causes of gun violence & health disparities. You can read the report here: https://t.co/VsTNQPQgnb

Chicago police are pulling record numbers of illegal guns off the street. These guns are largely being trafficked in from other places—elsewhere in Illinois, and other states. If we want to reduce shootings, we need to reduce the flow of illegal guns into this city and state.
12-year-old Nyzireya London Moore was on her way home from her birthday dinner when she was shot in the head Tuesday night by someone firing at a different car. Sadly, Nyzierya passed away Friday. My prayers are with her heartbroken family. https://t.co/xfKnqCNBvR
Had the chance to meet with brave U.S. and NATO troops at the Pabradė military base in Lithuania a few days ago. Amid the largest land war in Europe since WWII rages nearby, these brave servicemembers are there to protect members of the NATO alliance. https://t.co/Qt3eQc5HyE

like: A defense bill is a declaration of our values. That’s why I introduced an amendment to the 2022 NDAA that would finally close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. It's time to put this dark chapter in American history behind us once and for all.

I am closely monitoring @FDA’s tobacco decisions and remain concerned about how the agency is applying its risk framework. Flavored vaping products are proven to hook kids & that must be prioritized.
While I’m glad FDA continues to reject those addictive and dangerous products that come in kid-friendly flavors. @FDA As the agency continues its review, it should not take a leap of faith on unproven benefit claims. We have clear evidence these companies target young Americans.
