I wrote to @USCIS and @DHSgov demanding they immediately reverse this harmful, confusing unnecessary rule. Read more here⬇️ https://t.co/x5I1NJ5HRA — PolitiTweet.org

The bottom line is that this policy update will harm Americans serving their nation abroad—members of our Armed Forces, military families and civil servants. The possibility that their children may be denied citizenship is deeply insulting. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I wrote to @DHSgov and @USCIS demanding they rescind this offensive policy update. If even one active-duty servicemember or gov’t employee deployed overseas is forced to spend $1,170 to "prove" their child is worthy of citizenship, that is one too many.

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This change represents the worst type of policy: it is confusing, cynical, unnecessary and unfair. Worst of all, this policy update harms our national interest and disrespects the service of U.S. servicemembers and civil servants. https://t.co/kw6RTYFtOq — PolitiTweet.org

Glaciers are melting, islands are sinking and forests are burning. We can't afford to go backward. The same week that Trump skips meetings with G7 leaders on #ClimateChange, his Admin announces plans that allow oil & gas companies to leak harmful methane gas into our atmosphere. — PolitiTweet.org

Best of luck as you recover, @GovPritzker! — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing the best for my friend @SenatorIsakson, who has always been willing to work across the aisle to protect and support our #Veterans. I’ve appreciated his kindness and enjoyed his friendship on our travels to the Middle East. His voice will be missed in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

This study confirms what we already know: paid family leave helps prevent poverty. It also supports families, children and our economy. Let's pass the FAMILY Act to give working families the support they deserve: https://t.co/IMWOtLMKDW — PolitiTweet.org

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the #MarchOnWashington to nearly a quarter-million people. 56 years later, we still have much more work to do to make his dream a reality. We should all do what we can to advance his vision every single day. — PolitiTweet.org

If you oppose #HousingDiscrimination, you can submit a comment about the importance of protecting everyone’s rights to access housing of their choice before October 8th here: https://t.co/d2HHesqj06 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The #FairHousingAct bans discrimination based on race, country of origin, religion, sex, disability + familial status. @HUDGov's rule would make it harder for residents to win “#DisparateImpact” claims—propping up, rather than preventing, institutional discrimination and racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Black homeownership levels haven’t been lower since the 1960s, when race-based discrimination was legal. Now, the Trump Administration is making it harder for those who most need protection and making it easier for landlords to discriminate against people of color. — PolitiTweet.org

This past Sunday, my office was proud to conduct Mobile Office Hours during Veterans Day at the Du Quoin State Fair, where my staff was on hand to meet with Illinois Veterans and their families to discuss important issues related to current legislation and Veteran benefits. https://t.co/KvAcihmEuk — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's simply disingenuous for the Trump Administration to claim victory here. I called on @usedgov to perform a data match for borrowers set to qualify for forgiveness LAST YEAR—there’s no good reason it’s taken this long. 2/2 https://t.co/xrEA3llC1M — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Make no mistake: @BetsyDevosED and the Administration dragged their feet implementing an Obama-era rule to forgive the student debt held by disabled Veterans. Our Veterans deserve better. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

I will always treasure the privilege of working with John McCain in the Senate. On the anniversary of his passing, I remember the heights he reached and hope the life he led can be a lesson for us all about the ability of every American to overcome any challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

99 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote—although in many parts of the country, women of color had to wait much longer. Today, we honor the women who fought to expand voting rights and recommit to advancing the cause. #EqualityCantWait — PolitiTweet.org

The horrifying truth is #ClimateChange is real, and it is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Glaciers are melting, islands are sinking and forests are burning. We cannot afford to ignore it any longer, and the #AmazonFire highlights the urgent need to #ActOnClimate. — PolitiTweet.org

Meet Ellie, the best & sole member of the @USACEHQ Great Lakes & Ohio River Division’s Dog Patrol Team! She works at Chicago’s Lock and Dam & saves taxpayers $20K in cleanup costs by chasing away stray birds.

Women in Chicago (and all over the country, for that matter) deserve to be paid equally as their male counterparts. We have to keep pushing for #EqualPay https://t.co/H98iUDiV6Z — PolitiTweet.org

It’s unacceptable that children in federally-assisted housing remain at risk of suffering permanent brain damage because of where they live. I'll keep working with @SenatorDurbin for funding like this to protect our families. ⬇️ https://t.co/8a8sn7i1yr — PolitiTweet.org

We’re almost 8 full months into 2019 yet the avg Black woman who started work on Jan 1, 2018, had to work until TODAY to be paid what the avg white, non-Hispanic man made Jan-Dec of last year. Black women deserve fair wages for themselves & their families. #blackwomensequalpayday — PolitiTweet.org

Half the children who have died at these detention centers died from the flu. It's inhumane, cruel and worsens an already horrifying public health crisis that the Trump Admin won't provide families they’re detaining with this low-cost vaccine that could prevent even more deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Translation: The Trump Administration is trying to undermine a court order so they can keep kids in cages for even longer. — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: There’s no question that seatbelts on school buses help keep kids safe – no matter how severe an accident. I went on @TODAYshow this morning to discuss my School Bus Safety Act — because our children deserve to get to school as safely as possible. https://t.co/VhXqOJtRqi — PolitiTweet.org
