It was so nice to grab coffee with the hardworking interns in my Chicago office this afternoon—thank you for your hard work and public service! https://t.co/2wuIgLpC3S — PolitiTweet.org

@HUDgov My earlier tweet is inaccurate. I should have said they had *tried* to do these four things, which is true. The language in the earlier tweet should have said “have sought to worsen our nation's homelessness crisis.” They have not yet succeeded, despite repeated efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Marca reached out to me during my first few months home after Walter Reed, and she has been a friend and councilor—especially on disability issues—ever since. — PolitiTweet.org

I met with Federal Railroad Administrator Ronald Batory today/yesterday to discuss my efforts to make transportation safer and more reliable in Illinois and across our country, including improving Amtrak’s on-time performance and implementing positive train control (PTC). https://t.co/AgX84jt3uq — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased my staff was on hand last week w/@ChiUrbanLeague CEO Barbara Lumpkin for the release of the org’s report on the state of Black Chicago & a discussion on what we can do to address Chicago's serious racial disparities. You can read the report here: https://t.co/r5XlSlNKZR — PolitiTweet.org

It’s insulting what Donald Trump said about Vietnam: that he didn’t serve because “he wasn’t a fan of the war.” No Veteran I know is a “fan of war" but unlike Trump, they responded when their nation called them to duty. Like true patriots. Whether or not they had a choice. https://t.co/0ZOcjN5hoy — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our servicemembers put themselves at risk to defend this nation and our democracy. We owe it to them to make sure they have every opportunity to participate in that democracy. I’m proud to join Sen. Cornyn & @SenAngusKing on this bill to help our heroes make their voices heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After hearing from @McDonalds' workers late last year, I asked their CEO how they would address these widespread problems. I’ll continue to push for progress because no one should EVER work at a place that's unsafe & where they're unable to report harassment without retaliation. https://t.co/NxdDWi95Pv — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud of Brittany, Maribel, Jamelia and the many courageous workers who are speaking out against sexual harassment and the systematic workplace safety problems at @McDonald’s and restaurants nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Discussed the important investments Illinois needs in order to establish a robust + sustainable infrastructure program w/@tficIllinois. I hope the IL legislation passes a Capital bill soon to help rebuild our infrastructure, create jobs + boost our economy. #InfrastructureWeek https://t.co/QcI2KLPNyp — PolitiTweet.org

This new registry needs to be fully funded to improve our understanding of the heightened cancer risks associated with firefighting and help address the issue. I’ll keep working with @SenDurbin on this bipartisan effort. https://t.co/9nW035bnsi — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenWarren and I recently called on the IRS to improve the tax refund process after a @GAOgov report found low-income and minority taxpayers are more reliant on expensive tax-time financial products. Read more here. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This spring, I’ll also be re-introducing my legislation to strengthen protections against lead poisoning in drinking water for all Americans. This is a public health crisis that demands our immediate attention. ⬇️ https://t.co/ubTx8syYWY — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, I’m introducing legislation to protect military families from lead poisoning w/ @RepDanKildee @SenGaryPeters & @RepSpeier. No parent should have to live in homes that put their families at risk or send their children to schools that have contaminated drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud to help launch the @SenateDems Special Committee on the Climate Crisis today because our troops deserve better, and American families deserve to know that their leaders are doing everything they can to keep their loved ones safe and their nation strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Donald Trump and the GOP can’t honestly claim to care about our national security, or our military, if they keep ignoring the crises that are sapping its strength and putting Americans at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

And yet time and again, the GOP has blocked the Navy’s efforts to invest in green energy, making it harder for our troops to do their jobs or to protect the people we love. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When I served in Iraq, 50% of all casualties occurred during convoy operations, the vast majority of which were conducted to transport diesel fuel. Meanwhile, tech. like mobile solar panels let troops turn off generators, helping them move thru enemy territory undetected. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Military leaders + even Trump’s own intelligence officials admit this is a nat’l security crisis, as terrorist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram use droughts to solidify their power in Syria and Nigeria, as storms ravage our military bases and rising sea levels threaten 100 more. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We can’t ignore it any longer. The Midwest is flooding and the West Coast is burning. Coastlines are sinking while temperatures are soaring. And worldwide, instability is rising as farmland keeps dying. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is EXACTLY why it’s so important for @EPA to also conduct air monitoring outside of the 2 facilities that produce Ethylene Oxide emissions in Lake County. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Just received new air quality data from Willowbrook, which further suggests that Sterigenics was the main source of toxic ethylene oxide emissions that put families at risk – and that IEPA was right to take strong action. — PolitiTweet.org
