“You are hurting my children and my community.” Families like Mamie Cosey’s across the Midwest bear the brunt of the Trump Administration continuing to favor big polluters at the expense of our public health. — PolitiTweet.org

Programs like @NightMinistry's Youth4Truth help connect young people experiencing homelessness with housing, education, job training and more to help them gain stability. One Y4T alum said it helped them “connect with other homeless youth on a different level, as family.” #NRPM — PolitiTweet.org

To every transgender person, troop or Veteran, know that I am fighting alongside you to demand a status quo that accepts *all* of us. We will always demand fairness, justice and equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump's Transgender Military Ban is as cruel as it is short-sighted. This #TDOR, we should be honoring the transgender servicemembers who love this country so much they're willing to die for it. Instead, Trump is forcing them out. https://t.co/E7lZe5DQf0 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As someone who developed an unforeseen disability later in life, I know how critical it is to help those with disabilities and their families save money for long-term care. I was proud to join advocates today to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the #ABLEAct becoming law. https://t.co/wUZdO0qRiF — PolitiTweet.org

This is important & extremely troubling—and very predictable. The Pentagon’s independent inspector general just confirmed Trump’s decision to withdraw US forces from Syria is strengthening #ISIS. He isn’t making America great or putting America first. He’s helping ISIS regroup. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This morning I met with Treasurer Jovita Carranza, the nominee to be @SBAgov's next Administrator. I appreciated Ms. Carranza’s commitment to prioritize the implementation of the Veterans Small Business Enhancement Act and to work with me to strengthen SBA’s Microloan Program. https://t.co/LwLhBDYXZc — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud that my amendment to help make our National Parks more accessible for all Americans was added to the Restore Our Parks Act today and look forward to the bill coming to the Senate floor soon. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re letting a toxic mix of bigotry and partisanship keep those who’ve sacrificed for this country from seeing their families or receiving the care they deserve. Read more on my visit with our deported Veterans and how we can fight for them here: https://t.co/vEdaNu4nOk — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We're all dishonored when any Veteran is forced to lay their head down on the very streets they defended. When they return home, it's on us to help them transition into civilian life. Glad my staff was at Chicago’s Winter Standdown to help connect Veterans w/support & resources. https://t.co/9gWK36rsGR — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the 14 Illinois businesses that were awarded this year’s HIRE Vets Medallion for their fantastic record for recruiting and employing our nation’s Veterans! Keep up the good work! https://t.co/QqUCQPJ5Ii — PolitiTweet.org

Time and time again, this Administration has turned its back on LGBTQ individuals. That’s why I support passing the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, which would help ensure children find the loving homes they deserve and end this discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The strength of our nation comes from our diversity. This Trump Admin proposal would allow discrimination against LGBTQ youth in foster care – it’s cruel, mean-spirited and will cause harm to countless young people. https://t.co/vWHp8tkwnW — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to help introduce a Resolution honoring the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 12 Moon Landing and recognize a remarkable Major and Astronaut, Robert H. Lawrence Jr. – a Chicago native! – who broke down barriers by being @NASA's first African-American Astronaut. — PolitiTweet.org

I was honored to accept this Crest from Navy Chief of Legislative Affairs RADM, Brad Cooper. I'll do everything I can to ensure the #USNavy, and all of our armed forces, have the resources they need to serve our country. https://t.co/ZFNlVIJMfy — PolitiTweet.org

Every American should be inspired that brave civil servants are upholding the oath they swore to serve our *country* rather than the interests and demands of any single individual. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I am grateful our nation has patriots willing to speak truth to power like Ambassadors Yovanovitch & Taylor, George Kent and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As Trump attacks and threatens Amb. Yovanovitch while she testifies, let's remember that *not a single* Republican Senator objected to Amb. Yovanovich’s confirmation to be US Ambassador to Ukraine in 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thank you Ambassador Yovanovitch for your patriotic service to our nation. Your courage is a reminder that one does not have to wear a uniform to admirably serve our country and defend our Constitution against all enemies. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I joined with @SenatorDurbin and 15 Senators to send a letter urging them to improve this system and do a better job of helping out small farms. https://t.co/yZhFs5ksnq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's no surprise that Trump's @USDA assistance is benefiting wealthy farms and foreign companies instead of small, family-owned farms. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll keep asking this until I go hoarse: why are Republicans defending a status-quo where Veterans have to pay more in out-of-pocket expenses than every other American with health coverage? https://t.co/hDoUskxmhv — PolitiTweet.org
