We should be honoring every servicemember who loves this country so much they’re willing to sacrifice for it. They’ll do the job no matter what – but there’s no reason troops should be forced to worry that their families are at risk of deportation too. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the best parts of my job is getting to talk to the people who send me to Washington. I’m glad I could talk to so many constituents today in Carbondale. Thanks to @SIUStudentCen & @PSimonInstitute for hosting. https://t.co/7vqOjyUXUH — PolitiTweet.org

Good. Now the Senate should pass it IMMEDIATELY. #Renew911VCF cc @SenateMajLeader — PolitiTweet.org

These raids will only serve to dehumanize immigrants & shatter communities, tear families apart & traumatize more children in the process. To anyone impacted by these raids, please know that I will never stop working to make our immigration system more fair & just, not less. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Unfortunately, Trump’s #ICEraids are now expected to begin THIS WEEKEND. If you are approached by ICE, know that ***you have rights*** even if you’re undocumented. Learn about them, then share them with your friends, family and community. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

I met with Federal Railroad Administrator Ronald Batory today/yesterday to discuss my efforts to make transportation safer and more reliable in Illinois and across our country, including improving Amtrak’s on-time performance and implementing positive train control (PTC). https://t.co/AgX84jt3uq — PolitiTweet.org

1 in 5 ppl – 65 million in the U.S. – live with Dyslexia including Stanley Cup Champion & former @NHLBlackhawk defenseman Brent Sopel, who uses his experiences to help kids struggling in school.

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s a national tragedy when our troops have to worry if their families will have enough to eat & their kids will go to bed hungry. I’m glad @TODAYshow highlighted this critical issue + the legislation @RepSusanDavis & I introduced to prevent military families from going hungry. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No one wearing our nation’s uniform should have to worry whether their family back home is at risk of being deported. This Trump Administration policy change is not only senseless and cruel, but also harmful to our military readiness + national security. https://t.co/vVeENoYibP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The threat of lead in drinking water is a public health crisis and we have to do more to stop it. I‘ll keep working w/@SenToddYoung & @RepDanKildee to ensure every family in America – no matter where they live – has access to clean & safe drinking water. https://t.co/OEdLs4zdFt — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s unacceptable that in the wealthiest nation in the world, children who live with their families in federally assisted housing remain at risk of suffering permanent brain damage as a result of drinking water contaminated with lead. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to support these amazing women as they strive for the equal pay they deserve, and am looking forward to meeting with the team to celebrate their accomplishments and discuss the important challenges facing women both on and off the field. https://t.co/PQwNI5lRUN — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The @USWNT inspired our nation with their historic & incredible win. This is a proud moment for all Americans, which is why I’m joining @SenatorDurbin in helping to introduce a resolution recognizing the hard-work, determination and skill that this team showed. #OneNationOneTeam https://t.co/vl1QzMZQZm — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We're in the midst of two wars. We should be enacting policies that support our men and women in combat, not trying to tear their families apart. cc @realDonaldTrump — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I will keep working to ensure every family in America – no matter where they live – has access to clean and safe drinking water, and I’m proud to introduce this bill with @RepDanKildee to better protect our children from lead-contaminated water. https://t.co/XNLlyXT7KZ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When families send their children to school or turn on their faucet at home, they should not have to worry about their drinking water being contaminated with a dangerous neurotoxin like lead. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨The Trump Admin is reportedly ending protections against the deportation of MILITARY SPOUSES & FAMILIES whose loved ones are deployed This direct threat to military readiness flies in the face of American values. Today, I led 21 Senators urging Trump to reverse course: https://t.co/7UGcFnuQXQ — PolitiTweet.org

At a committee hearing on GEN Milley’s confirmation to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I am always struck by the awesome responsibility of my job & that I now play a role in these crucial decisions that affect our national security. It’s a long way from the cockpit of my UH60. https://t.co/fyaY3FUCbV — PolitiTweet.org

Investing in our airport infrastructure is vital to the strength of our state’s transportation systems and local economies. This week @SenatorDurbin, @RepCheri & I announced over $11 million in federal funding for @FlyRFD to rehabilitate runways & taxiways https://t.co/luQHH4ABfd — PolitiTweet.org

We owe those who’ve defended our nation the care+benefits they earned – regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. My bill targets gaps in care to help ensure #LGBTQ servicemembers w/cancer, depression or suicidal ideation receive the help they've earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Americans deserve safe & secure elections. Election security shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Yet, @senatemajldr refuses to let us vote on commonsense election security bills like the PAVE Act, requiring paper ballots🗳 We cannot let this issue die in his #LegislativeGraveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

AND @DHSMcAleenan should reflect on whether serving the whims of Donald Trump and overseeing such needless cruelty is worth permanently destroying his reputation, and MUCH MORE importantly, worth the trauma and pain that @CBP is inflicting on children and families. 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

.@DHSMcAleenan must disclose what actions he has taken to hold @CBP Border Patrol Agents accountable for these disturbing reports of abuse detailed in official @HHSGov ORR Significant Incident Reports. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@DHSMcAleenan testifies before Congress this week. He must TELL THE TRUTH about when @DHSgov became aware @CBP personnel have been accused of misconduct, including sexual assault, since @HHSGov ORR staff secured counseling for the alleged teen victim. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

From April-June, @HHSGov case managers – who work for the Trump Administration – prepared multiple Significant Incident Reports documenting allegations of misconduct and even sexual assault against young migrants committed by @CBPArizona personnel in Arizona’s #YumaSector — PolitiTweet.org
