Our country and the world remain in awe of the bravery of President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people who are so effectively defending their homeland against Putin’s unjustified and unjustifiable attacks. The United States remains with you.🇺🇦 https://t.co/lxJjj9Ys47 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Yep, you're reading this right. The same Republicans who claim to “defend family values” just blocked my bill to protect the right to start a family through IVF. And yes, it's the ultimate, nightmarish blend of hypocrisy and misogyny that you think it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Without the miracle of IVF, my two beautiful girls might not exist. Tonight, I’m urging my colleagues to pass my Right to Build Families Act so we can protect IVF and every American’s right to choose how they build their own family. https://t.co/HR6GfaHPGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let's be clear: they're coming for our right to access IVF next. Soon, I'm going to the floor to ask for unanimous consent to protect IVF by passing my Right to Build Families Act. If Republicans truly cared about being "pro-life," they wouldn't try to stop us from creating it. — PolitiTweet.org

I worked so hard to include the All Station Accessibility Program—or my ASAP Act—in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and I couldn't be prouder that it's already helping make Illinois and our nation a more inclusive place for the disability community. https://t.co/FtFwhcAQXy — PolitiTweet.org

Every American has a right to clean drinking water—and with these environmental justice provisions I led in the Water Resources Development Act, we will continue to protect that right and make disadvantaged communities a priority. Next up, the President's desk. https://t.co/KHLPGOxVEy — PolitiTweet.org

Amid the horrifying rise in anti-Semitism across the nation and globe, I hope this year's Festival of Lights is a happy one for all those who celebrate. In darkness, let us remember to bring in the light—hate has no place here. Happy Hanukkah and Chag Sameach! — PolitiTweet.org

The expanded Child Tax Credit in the Democrats' American Rescue Plan was a lifeline to so many families—including the families of our servicemembers and Veterans. We must bring it back. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to these kids’ families and loved ones, and to the entire Juarez HS community. Tonight, I am more convinced than ever that while we’ve made important progress Congress, we must do more to end senseless and preventable gun violence like this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today I visited one of @fly2ohare new @MAMAVA pods, thinking of nursing parents who have to figure out how to feed their hungry baby in a busy airport. I’ve been that mom before. I'm so proud that through my FAM Act, I can help make air travel more seamless for families. https://t.co/CXwm25rzlG — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to have the support of Captain Sullenberger, the Allied Pilots Association and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA on my EVAC Act. We must act to make flying as safe as we know it can be—and as safe as Americans deserve. https://t.co/QyTRHQRt4j — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I can’t remember the last time I was on a flight like that—and I’d bet you can’t either. That's why I introduced my EVAC Act to require the FAA to finally establish an evacuation standard that takes into account the actual, real-life scenarios we all face every time we fly. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

These FAA tests are ignoring:   👉Passengers like me who live with a disability 👉Seniors who might take longer to get down the aisle 👉Kids and infants 👉Those who don't speak English fluently   And they aren’t adequately considering the ever-decreasing size of seats. And more. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Right now, the FAA requires that passengers be able to evacuate an aircraft within 90 seconds. But the simulation tests that help set this standard were only conducted with 60 able-bodied adults. 60 able-bodied adults. That’s just not the reality of flying in America today. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m heading to O’Hare Airport to speak about my EVAC Act with @CaptSully, fellow pilots and flight attendants who know how important it is to bring our aircraft evacuation standard up to date—especially this busy holiday season. This simply cannot wait. We must get this right. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There’s a reason they say FAA regulations are written in blood… Let’s break down why we need to update the FAA’s aircraft evacuation standard. My EVAC Act is a proactive solution so we can keep the flying public safe. https://t.co/hwVKZuXp4T — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: The Senate passed the FY2023 NDAA! While this bill isn’t perfect, it’s a strong bipartisan bill that’s now heading to @POTUS’s desk, and I'm proud it includes a well-deserved pay raise and several of my provisions that send a message to our troops: we have their back. https://t.co/CbGS0CrBCr — PolitiTweet.org
