Trump isn’t just telling Americans to “go back where they came from.” He’s actually arresting and imprisoning them just because of what they look like. This needs to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad Francisco Erwin Galicia was released, but he should never have been detained in the first place, much less held for *THREE WEEKS* without access to a phone—even after officials saw his US Birth Certificate. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thank you to all who joined me and @SenatorDurbin this morning for our Constituent Coffee! It’s one of my favorite traditions because I get to hear from Illinoisans about the issues that matter most to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is why @RepHastingsFL and I introduced legislation to require DoD to update its forms. Offensive terms like this should never have been on the forms to begin with, but it's outrageous they're still using them *in 2019* — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This week @SenatorDurbin and I introduced the Fairness for Housing Communities Act to redirect federal resources to communities that have been the victims of fraud in public housing. ⬇️ https://t.co/aC0Zpd5zR2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Cities like Cairo that have been the victims of mismanagement deserve accountability and restitution, and ensuring ill-gotten gains go back to the communities they were stolen from will help them rebuild and restore hope, pride and prosperity. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m committed to defending critical safety net programs like SNAP. You can make your voice heard by leaving a comment at https://t.co/dkNqVh8dXE for the next 60 days. #HandsOffSNAP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Instead of punishing working families if they work more hours or penalizing seniors and those with disabilities who save for emergencies, Trump should be passing policies that help Americans afford the basics and save for their futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No child should go hungry, and no parent should have to choose between paying rent or paying for groceries. This is a systematic effort to make it harder for people to get themselves out of poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Food stamps kept me from going hungry when I was a teenager. Without them, I never would have been able to serve our country in the Army, the VA or in Congress. #HandsOffSNAP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Early in his Presidency, Trump signed into law a bill that increases our deficit by nearly $2 TRILLION to pay for corporate welfare + help the richest become wealthier. Now, he's trying to take roughly $1/meal from 3 million American families struggling to get by. #HandsOffSNAP — PolitiTweet.org

This is important because it allows travelers to make more informed decisions. See how your airline stacked up in May here: https://t.co/pgmdxnM8to https://t.co/E2l23A0qee — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Nic was immobilized for 12 HOURS. That’s not just an inconvenience – it’s a loss of mobility, freedom & independence! It’s because of situations like this that I wrote a law requiring airlines to report how many wheelchairs they damage/lose each month. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As of today, it’s been 10 years since millions of hard-working Americans have seen a pay raise. Parents who work full-time should not have to struggle to pay for food, healthcare, and other basic necessities. It’s time to #RaiseTheWage, it’s time to #FightFor15 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The public health standards enshrined in this bill would help prevent untreated sewage and stormwater from being discharged into the Great Lakes, which threatens the health and livelihoods of millions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I re-introduced legislation with @SenatorDurbin to protect the Great Lakes, which are the source of drinking water for tens of millions of Americans and support 1.5 million jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

So why won't Mitch McConnell let us vote on legislation to protect our election security?! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#Mueller served honorably as a Marine in Vietnam before embarking on a distinguished legal career. Trump tells an average of 23 false or misleading statements PER DAY. It's not hard to know who to trust here. McConnell must let us vote to secure our elections ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Lead in homes/drinking water shouldn’t still be a problem in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. That’s why I intro'd legislation w/@RepDanKildee to help end this crisis for military families + for families living in federally assisted housing. https://t.co/N3X4zd7Fa2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There is no safe level of lead exposure for humans. PERIOD. This is an important exposé on a heartbreaking public health crisis ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glad I could speak at the Reserve Component National Security Course today. I enjoyed discussing how service to our country has shaped my life from the military to the halls of Congress. https://t.co/eLeZwQ9GoJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Troopers Gerald Ellis, Brooke Jones-Story & Christopher Lambert were all struck by vehicles while on the job. There have been too many tragedies. I joined @SenatorDurbin, @SenatorFischer & @RepCheriBustos to write to the @GAO to review #MoveOver laws. https://t.co/VDyo5ECaJ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

With so many of these heroes experiencing health complications stemming from their heroic actions that terrible day, it is our nation’s duty to care for them and their loved ones. #Renew911VCF — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I was proud to vote to #Renew911VCF today to keep our nation’s promise to the thousands of brave first responders who ran into danger to save their fellow Americans when our nation was attacked on 9/11. — PolitiTweet.org
