Marca reached out to me during my first few months home after Walter Reed, and she has been a friend and counselor—especially on disability issues—ever since. — PolitiTweet.org

Without Marca’s work over the last 30 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act would not be in existence & I would not be a U.S. Senator. Because she crawled up the steps of the Capitol to pass the ADA, I get to roll through its corridors to cast my votes in the U.S. Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s EPA must get to work and do its job because every community in Illinois—every community across the nation—deserves to be protected by their government. Read @SenatorDurbin and my joint statement here: https://t.co/2ueESO13VT — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with Chicago’s City Council Latino Caucus to discuss protecting immigrant/mixed status families and affordable housing over lunch yesterday. https://t.co/k1HuYoL4EF — PolitiTweet.org

Always enjoy chatting with steelworkers to discuss our shared efforts to strengthen collective bargaining rights and help more families have a promising future. https://t.co/StCrffsrv9 — PolitiTweet.org

Teaching life-skills to incarcerated individuals can help reduce recidivism and save taxpayer dollars—not to mention lead to outcomes that are more just, and I appreciated the opportunity to visit the Kewanee Life Skills Re-Entry Center earlier this week. https://t.co/z0PUvGbT3Z — PolitiTweet.org

But they won’t. Cuz #DaBears will, and when @ChicagoBears do I’ll take New Glarus #SpottedCow. #GBvsCHI. — PolitiTweet.org

Hey @SenatorBaldwin, #NFL100, #Bears100, #GBvsCHI. How about a friendly wager on the game’s oldest rivalry? — PolitiTweet.org

Local food banks support 46 million people every year. This #HungerActionMonth, let’s work to stop hunger together. — PolitiTweet.org

This inappropriate move makes it clear that Donald Trump cares more about *appearing* to keep his ridiculous campaign promises than he does about keeping the nation’s promises to our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

Invasive Asian carp pose a serious threat to our Great Lakes&waterways. Many IL communities rely on these ecosystems&preventing the spread of Asian carp is necessary for our economy. I'm working to mitigate this threat&was glad to hear frm @IllinoisDNR this week abt their efforts https://t.co/xEsfJ6a3G9 — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t ignore this – women bear the burden of our nation’s inability to care for the elderly, sometimes dropping out of the workforce entirely to do so. No one should have to choose between their job & taking care of an ailing loved one - we can & must do better #PaidLeaveNow — PolitiTweet.org

But right now, the Trump Administration is hurting farmers & lying to Americans by abusing hardship waivers intended to help small refineries. Instead, these waivers are going to large oil companies, making them exempt from using the required biofuel levels. That’s unacceptable. https://t.co/LVtTh5RF7N — PolitiTweet.org

Today I visited @MarquisEnergy to tour the country’s largest dry-mill ethanol facility, right here in Illinois. We should be doing all that we can to encourage the use of American-made renewable fuel, not increasing our dependence on foreign oil. https://t.co/3ldIGApzZG — PolitiTweet.org

In March, @RepRobinKelly, @SenatorDurbin and I introduced the #MOMMAAct to help reduce maternal health disparities. Let’s keep working together to end the skyrocketing rates of maternal and infant deaths. https://t.co/wp6j6WkjxF — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is alarming 🚨 - 72% of pregnancy-related deaths in IL were preventable. In the richest nation on Earth, moms and infants shouldn't be dying at such a high rate. I’m glad this funding will help combat this tragic epidemic in Illinois. https://t.co/9VGcEFVDvS — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MarquisEnergy: Thank you, @SenDuckworth, for supporting clean-burning biofuels and American agriculture. We also appreciate your stan… — PolitiTweet.org

Happy first day of school, Chicago! Don’t forget: children and accompanying adults get a free ride to school this morning on all @CTA trains and buses. https://t.co/hq0TkDDdjP — PolitiTweet.org

On #LaborDay, we celebrate Illinoisan workers and the labor movement that brought us a minimum wage, weekends, FMLA, the right to unionize and other critical worker protections. — PolitiTweet.org

I commend @GovPritzker’s leadership in granting clemency to Miguel Perez, Jr. Miguel deserves the opportunity to attend his naturalization hearing as he seeks to become a proud citizen of the very country he risked his life to defend. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a strong step toward a world where breastfeeding families across our country are seamlessly supported wherever they are – I’m glad the @usairforce is taking this crucial step forward for military families. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m also glad I had the chance to visit Thai wounded warriors at the Pra Mongkut Klao Hospital. To each of you, thank you for your sacrifice and service. — PolitiTweet.org

Wearing my country’s uniform was the greatest honor of my life, just as I’m sure it will be for these cadets. I'm grateful they’re heeding their nation’s call to serve, fighting for freedom even when it’s hard—especially when it’s hard. https://t.co/yXFAl8yxOs — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I also appreciated the opportunity to speak to the cadets at the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, where I spoke about the historic friendship between our nations and the importance of strengthening that bond in the years to come as threats abound in SE Asia and beyond. https://t.co/78cuuwen26 — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: On an official visit to Southeast Asia last week, I was honored to have an audience with Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand. I also met with the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. https://t.co/5oDtz3gCfl — PolitiTweet.org
