The Midwest has been experiencing major floods since March, devastating our businesses and farmers. #ClimateChange isn’t an abstract problem—it’s an economic emergency that affects hardworking families across the country. We need to #ActOnClimate NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Ensuring the long-term success of Rock Island Arsenal is one of my top priorities in Congress, and investments like these are critical. I'm proud to work with @SenatorDurbin and @RepCheri to advocate for the Arsenal. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Children & families in need across Chicago rely on investments like these that help improve housing conditions & reduce homelessness. I’m proud to advocate for federal funding w/@SenatorDurbin that helps ensure Illinoisans have access to affordable housing https://t.co/K7mSoeS39S — PolitiTweet.org

A court needed to force them to let children bathe. Let that sink in. — PolitiTweet.org

Now the case will head to the Supreme Court, where thousands of lives, hopes and fears will hang by a thread. We need to pass the #DreamAct to protect these Americans from this Administration’s cruelty. #HereToStay — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’ll continue to oppose the President’s heartless, irresponsible and potentially unlawful decision to rescind #DACA. We cannot allow Trump to break his promise to protect Dreamers, exposing nearly 800,000 of our neighbors to deportation, tearing families and communities apart. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

On the 7th anniversary of #DACA, we must keep fighting to protect our #DREAMers and DACA recipients. They are our doctors and our teachers, our students and our servicemembers. Simply put, they are Americans who may be forced to leave the only country they know as home. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump’s @DHSgov and @StateDept MUST explain their cruel decision and allow Roman Sabal to re-enter the country for his citizenship hearing. https://t.co/VEC71NoCxZ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud that Illinois is one of the leaders in wind energy, which attracts billions in investments & supports over 7,000 jobs across our state. Wind energizes our economy & creates good-paying jobs, all while protecting our environment for future generations. #AmericanWindWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I oppose this administration’s efforts to delist endangered species like the gray wolf. And I’ll continue working to improve wildlife conservation and oppose efforts to weaken or dismantle the #EndangeredSpeciesAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Trump Admin’s efforts to weaken the landmark #EndangeredSpeciesAct will make it harder for us to protect our nation’s plants and animals. The ESA has saved national treasures like the bald eagle & gray wolf from extinction for over 45 years. We must fight to protect it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For the past 65 years, @CSLBehring has developed innovative technology that helps save lives – all in Kankakee County, Illinois. I enjoyed learning more about biotech by touring the facility yesterday with @ToiHutchinson. https://t.co/ov4oitpSX3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

84 years ago today, FDR signed into law the landmark Social Security Act, lifting up millions of seniors. Social security supports those who need it the most, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure that people across this country—people like my mom—are protected. #SocSec84 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No family should have to face that choice. No one should have to decide between seeking urgently needed health care—or shelter, or food—and getting ripped away from their loved ones. This proposal isn’t just unfair. It’s cruel, unacceptable and un-American. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My family teetered on the brink of homelessness when I was in high school and relied on food stamps to survive. My own mother is an immigrant—& if this proposal had been in place during those years, my family could’ve been forced to choose between her citizenship & going hungry. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As I said when the Trump administration first suggested they might do this almost a year ago: This proposal is as heartless as it is dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Had a great meeting in Waukegan yesterday w/@CleanPowerLC, @SierraClubNoIL & @faithinplace abt our ethylene oxide crisis. These environmental challenges disproportionately affect low-income& communities of color, but I'll keep working w/local leaders to help improve the situation https://t.co/8SwwnXsbf7 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No one should worry about a dangerous neurotoxin like lead in their drinking water. I met with leaders in Chicago last week to discuss how we can confront this public health crisis, and we'll keep working to ensure every family in America can access clean & safe drinking water. https://t.co/K7t5iR6gsb — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The federal government should treat everyone fairly and be a model employer for all Americans—including those in the disability community. I’m disappointed the Trump Administration seems not to be doing that: https://t.co/VSquzamaD6 — PolitiTweet.org

Good to be @navstaglakes, the training facility that all naval recruits go to as they work to become a sailor. I enjoyed discussing the importance of developing high-quality leaders to help our Navy prepare for the challenges we’ll face in the years to come. https://t.co/kNYfdscVMv — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Earlier today, I met with the Lake County Municipal League who represent over 40 Lake County cities & villages to talk about how we can work together towards common goals like infrastructure upgrades that ensure that our communities in Illinois can thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Illinois is a hub for global businesses that create thousands of jobs and develop critical innovations. I enjoyed visiting @KraftHeinzCo’s R&D center in Glenview to see all the innovation happening in Illinois. https://t.co/Cp5sjhUGRD — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I sent a letter to @DHSgov and @StateDept demanding they explain their decision to deny Roman his citizenship interview and clarify their ambiguous and complex policy: https://t.co/gbToIg5lQm — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Roman Sabal wore our nation’s uniform for nearly a decade in the Marines and the Army Reserves before being deported. He should be allowed to re-enter the country for his citizenship hearing. https://t.co/zSxFR9HZ6N — PolitiTweet.org

Anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy can have a real and negative impact on the mental health of Latinx Americans, regardless of citizenship status. For those who are trying to cope with this stress, know that you are not alone and that there are resources available. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In the wake of the #ElPaso shooting, we’re in awe of the strength of this community in the face of violence and hate. At the same time, we should also acknowledge the incredible stress that these conditions have created for Latinx Americans, especially in El Paso. #ElPasoFirme — PolitiTweet.org
