I left literal parts of my body in Iraq, where I was fighting terrorists. Donald Trump spent months attacking an ACTUAL Gold Star Family. @RepDougCollins should be ashamed of himself for perpetuating this offensive lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s one of the reasons I’m joining my colleagues to introduce a resolution sending a clear message to the White House that they will be held accountable by Congress if they continue down this dangerous path. https://t.co/gQ3TNXfwqK — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When Donald Trump cites the dishonorable tactics of our enemies to justify his calls for the United States to commit war crimes, he reveals his deep disrespect for the rule of law, his disdain for good order and discipline and utter ignorance of military values. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm calling on the @StateDept to immediately begin document preservation in light of the conflicting comments alleging, without specific evidence, that Americans are safer because of the military operation that killed Soleimani. Read my letter here: https://t.co/o2JbMzDO50 — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: I was on @maddow last night to talk about Iran. There's a bizarre breakdown in this administration and w/ one decision, this president has accomplished the goals of the Iranian regime -- turning the sentiment against the US and in favor of Tehran.

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Dictators of hostile regimes have all realized the same thing: the President of the United States is as easy to control as a toddler. I wish this weren’t true, but my diaper-wearing 20-month-old daughter has better impulse control than this President. https://t.co/YuzFHS33ZX — PolitiTweet.org

At this precipice, we need to be doing everything we can to break the cycle of escalation. We need less chest-thumping and more diplomacy. https://t.co/TnoD36WQFD — PolitiTweet.org

At this moment, we need to be doing everything we can to break the cycle of escalation. We need less chest-thumping and more diplomacy. https://t.co/zomLdlfC4L — PolitiTweet.org

As Commander in Chief, Trump’s incompetence has cost us our standing in the world, endangered our national security and placed an even bigger target on our deployed troops. https://t.co/NWcYhFN11m — PolitiTweet.org

Let me make something clear to Donald Trump: all is certainly not well when war is on the horizon just because you wanted to look like the toughest kid on the playground. https://t.co/cQHsptObPX — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @AC360 last night to talk about the unfolding situation w/Iran. This president has made America *less safe* and while it’s not clear this administration has the competence to work towards de-escalation, what we need now is less chest thumping and more diplomacy. https://t.co/QDPIV9bCXd — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm on the Senate floor to talk about last night's attacks on Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops and to highlight this Administrations utter lack of a realistic, strategic plan to deal with the situation they created by striking Soleimani. Tune in: https://t.co/vmL8P7hUKt — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Moving forward, we need to focus on how we achieve our security goals—&recognize those goals do not include trading missiles w/Iran. Trump needs to a) come up w/a realistic strategic plan for the region and b) bring it to Congress for approval so we can do our Constitutional duty — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We should be doing whatever we can to break this cycle of escalation—but right now, it’s not clear this administration has the competence to work towards deescalation. We need less chest thumping and more diplomacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thinking of our troops in harm's way tonight & hope they are able to stay safe. The attacks tonight underscores the fact that the strike that killed #Soleimani didn't make our troops — or any American — any safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Devastating. Thinking of everyone in #PuertoRico impacted by the earthquake and power outages. Let’s help our fellow Americans rebuild their homes and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Going on #AMR to discuss the Soleimani strike & current situation w/Iraq & Iran. No President has the authority to draw us into another war without Congressional approval. Trump owes it to our troops, Constitution & all Americans to let Congress perform its duties. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m saddened to learn Army Specialist Henry Mayfield, Jr., was killed in action this weekend in Kenya. My deepest condolences to his friends, family and loved ones back home in Illinois who lost their brother, their son and their friend. https://t.co/BCL8WCAii6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s unacceptable. Donald Trump owes it to our troops and to our Constitution to follow the law, provide the American people the transparency they deserve and ensure Congress is able to perform its Constitutional duties. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This solemn duty is solely for Congress to decide, but the Trump Administration appears to have failed to inform the people’s representatives of his actions and, in doing so, may very well lead us to war. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There is no question that Iranian Major General Soleimani posed a threat to the free world, but there is also no question that the President—any President—does not have Constitutional authority to draw the United States into a war without prior Congressional approval. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I first ran for office to ensure that when the drums of war beat loudly in Washington, I would be able to remind my colleagues in Congress and the White House what the true costs of war actually are—not just in dollars, but in American troops’ lives as well. (1/4) — PolitiTweet.org
