So proud to have been a part of this important investment. The Taiwanese stakeholders who visited Illinois on Friday recognize what I’ve long known: Illinois is a great place to do business—and I’ll continue to spread the message. https://t.co/ImLxnAgGRk — PolitiTweet.org

L'Shanah Tovah to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah tonight! Wishing you all a happy, healthy and sweet new year. — PolitiTweet.org

On this Gold Star Mother’s Day, let us take a moment to honor all the mothers who have lost a child in service to our nation. We can't ever fully repay them nor understand their grief, but we must never stop working to ensure they receive the recognition that they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than trust women, the Republican proposal to ban abortions nationwide essentially tells us they want to be in our doctors' rooms calling the shots—threatening to even throw women and doctors in jail if they provide the care so many deserve. We won’t back down. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Imagine if Republicans cared more about getting weapons of war off our streets than they do about a nationwide ban on abortion. We should be acting to end gun violence—not restricting basic rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Janessa Calderon is the youngest Latina to ever lead the Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as their Executive Director. Hispanic and Latino small business owners are so lucky to have her in their corner. #HispanicHeritageMonth https://t.co/LXfwxYzFP9 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when Republicans said "leave it to the Supreme Court" after ramming through anti-choice Justices? Remember when they said let the states decide? Remember when they claimed they would never push for a nationwide abortion ban? This was always the plan. — PolitiTweet.org

On #BiVisibilityDay and every other day of the year, every American deserves to show up as they are and live their life free of judgement, discrimination and fear. As we continue our work toward true equality, remember: You are seen. You are loved. No matter what.💖💜💙 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I met with both doctors and survivors of the Highland Park Massacre and, once again, I heard the same call—the same plea—I’ve heard from so many other constituents and survivors of mass shootings: we need to get weapons of war off our streets. I'm with them. https://t.co/LShOPAESw1 — PolitiTweet.org

A vote against the DISCLOSE Act is a vote against transparency in our elections. It's a vote against protecting our democracy from dark money. It’s a vote to help special interests drown out the voices of people like you. Republicans’ filibuster speaks louder than words. — PolitiTweet.org

As the Director of @IllinoisUnidos, Alejandra L. Ibañez is a fierce advocate for the Hispanic community. Grateful for her work to ensure all Illinoisans have the support they need to thrive during this pandemic and beyond. #HispanicHeritageMonth https://t.co/3SgItvlVss — PolitiTweet.org

It is shameful that Black Women's Equal Pay Day 2022 comes over a month later than last year's—literally going in the wrong direction as Black women wait longer and longer to be paid what they rightfully earned. We need to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to help right this wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: The Senate just ratified the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol—affirming America’s commitment to phase out hydrofluorocarbons that contribute to our climate crisis. This would create jobs, protect businesses and strengthen U.S. competitiveness. Proud to vote YES. — PolitiTweet.org

Building on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act will help Americans afford electric vehicles.🚘⚡️ In Illinois, millions will be eligible for discounts of up to $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used—helping folks save money on fuel costs. https://t.co/soTbgBqBkW — PolitiTweet.org

Right next door to Illinois, Indiana enacted a near-total abortion ban last week—stripping the women who live there of their basic rights. No one should have to cross state lines to be treated as equal citizens and get the care they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let's be clear: "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was shameful and wrong. 11 years ago, we got rid of this discriminatory policy and our military became a stronger, more unified force—moving us further down the path to true equality. Diversity makes us stronger. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a Soldier who takes the Soldier's Creed seriously: you don't leave a fallen comrade behind. After pushing for Mark Frerichs' safe return for over two years, I'm so glad we're bringing Mark home. https://t.co/dMBoEn9ZDp — PolitiTweet.org

Queen Elizabeth’s life of service was remarkable. I admire anyone who serves their nation—and there was no better example of that than the Queen. My heart is with the Royal Family and the entire United Kingdom as they lay Her Majesty to rest today. https://t.co/AiXJjot1XX — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thrilled that his family, who have long been Mark’s champions, will get to reunite with him. I applaud President Biden, who I spoke with personally about the need to get Mark home, for taking the steps necessary to prove that we do not leave Americans behind. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a profound relief that Mark Frerichs, a Navy Veteran who served our nation honorably, is now safely back in American hands after being kidnapped in Afghanistan more than two and a half years ago. https://t.co/LxW3XBr7tw — PolitiTweet.org

Under the Inflation Reduction Act, many small business owners can now receive a tax credit that will help make it easier to: 🌎Make clean energy improvements to their businesses ☀️Install solar panels 🚙Buy clean transportation — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is home to 1.2 million small businesses—they're the heart of our communities and they help keep our economy running. Here's how Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act will help them save money.👇 https://t.co/sB9GqheK8E — PolitiTweet.org

In Illinois, manufacturers employ 554,000 workers. With the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act, we can move into the future and create even more jobs by making more clean energy and transportation technologies here at home while strengthening our economy and supply chains. https://t.co/pInzE4xNZz — PolitiTweet.org

I refuse to force any woman to have to live her life fearful that Lindsey Graham effectively has more control over her medical decisions than she or her doctors. — PolitiTweet.org
