We must hold Donald Trump accountable for his lies. Trump promised every single American that they wouldn’t have to spend a dime on his wall. That was a lie: Mexico isn’t paying for his wall, our servicemembers and their families are. https://t.co/JWDDr4Cwsh — PolitiTweet.org

Parents pursuing higher education to reach their career goals & provide for their families shouldn’t have to struggle to afford #childcare. And to be clear: child care isn’t a luxury–it’s a necessity. This report shows we can do more to ensure student parents know their options. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 25th Birthday, @AmeriCorps! Everyone deserves a chance to engage in #AmericanService. @AmeriCorps helps countless Americans serve their country out of uniform with things like hammers to build homes, chalk to teach our children and spoons to feed the homeless. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm speaking on the Senate floor about Trump's decision to endanger our national security by diverting funds from important defense projects to fund a wall he promised Mexico would pay for. https://t.co/jf1cpyKDUb — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Dr. @maejemison made history by becoming the first woman of color in space, bringing the necessity of full representation to the stars. Dr. Jemison reminds us to look up and never stop imagining the possibilities. https://t.co/Ge2uWdR7Bv — PolitiTweet.org

Enough is enough; Republicans need to let us vote on bills to help prevent mass shootings from continuing to devastate our communities. #KeepAmericansSafe — PolitiTweet.org

Passing public safety measures to save lives isn’t tyranny, it’s common sense. This is a sensible piece of legislation to limit high-capacity magazines and @senatemajldr should take it up immediately. https://t.co/PKgtreaTRq — PolitiTweet.org

The Statue of Liberty literally has the words “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” That’s who Donald Trump and his administration are turning away - abandoning the very ideals that make our country great. — PolitiTweet.org

#Veterans serve every day just by being who they are - even when taking off the uniform, they contribute & affect others even when they don't know it. Grateful to all the students I spoke to today b/c they're showing a willingness to keep being leaders - and our nation needs them — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This morning I spoke with 100+ student Veterans, incl. 6 from my home state of #IL, about how 9/11 changed my life, my experience in the military & the importance of leadership. https://t.co/Y8AYlBRsFL — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to have introduced legislation today with @SenBooker that would make it easier for low-income Americans to use solar energy and lower their utility bills, which will help our nation reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, combat climate change and decrease air pollution. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

All Americans—regardless of whether they have good credit, own a home or live in multi-family building—deserve to be able to access solar energy. https://t.co/wxHlXz09tP — PolitiTweet.org

Ever since I was recovering at Walter Reed, I’ve made it my life’s mission to support all of our nation’s troops and Veterans. I’m glad I had the opportunity to discuss the best ways to do this with representatives from the Illinois @VFWHQ this afternoon. https://t.co/0m2FY0rQ9z — PolitiTweet.org

I’m deeply honored to present Bob “Doc” Adams with the Bronze Star with Valor. Mr. Adams was a doctor in the Battle of Hue in the Vietnam War and then founded the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, providing critical services for our heroes. Thank you, Bob, for your service. https://t.co/ynRnepF0Y5 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m honored to accept the Fueling Growth award from @GrowthEnergy today! Clean-burning biofuels and American agriculture go hand-in-hand and we should be doing everything we can to support our rural economies and American-made renewable fuel. https://t.co/1bIXYWatuP — PolitiTweet.org

I will never forget where I was on the morning of 9/11 – no American who was alive that day could ever forget. On the 18th anniversary of #911 let’s remember those who lost their lives & honor the thousands of first responders who ran into danger as others ran away. #NeverForget — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: I spoke with @mitchellreports about Trump firing National Security Advisor #Bolton. We expect our troops in harm's way to do their jobs, but we don’t have a president or a national security advisor willing to do theirs. That’s a real problem and our troops deserve better. https://t.co/HNv15O2NiX — PolitiTweet.org

Creating opportunities for minority-owned construction businesses uplifts communities everywhere & helps keep us on the cutting edge of the industry. Glad to meet w/the innovators at @HACIAworks to discuss our efforts to empower minority & women-owned businesses—& their employees https://t.co/9Q0uXRPTJ9 — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: Trump and his Administration have shown time and time again they don't respect our troops. I joined @MSNBC to discuss the latest example: using fallen troops as a pretense to cancel meeting the Taliban at Camp David the same week as 9/11. https://t.co/EUp5hxPnrd — PolitiTweet.org

I had a great discussion with @RepChuyGarcia & @icirr Friday about the Trump Administration’s mean-spirited public charge rule. My own experience growing up in poverty makes it clear this is heartless & dangerous. It’s cruel, unacceptable and un-American https://t.co/qqATH3l4xG — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump should get out of the way of his own admin's diplomats so that serious professionals may continue working in Qatar to find a path forward that ensures all Afghan voices are represented, incl. women, & contains enforceable restrictions on malign activity in the region — PolitiTweet.org

Working to negotiate an end to our nation’s longest war should be one of the highest priorities of any commander in chief. — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump's failed effort to honor the #Taliban with a personal invitation to Camp David was a slap in the face to all Americans, especially those personally affected by the horrific terrorist attacks of 9/11. — PolitiTweet.org

While we have so much progress yet to make, the disability community can thank Marca’s leadership, activism and sacrifice for the more inclusive society we live in today. I was honored to call her my friend and will miss her dearly. — PolitiTweet.org
