I was honored to speak at the Pentagon today to celebrate the LGBTQ+ servicemembers who've proved that who you love has no bearing on your ability to defend your country. Because of you, our nation is fairer, our Armed Forces are stronger & our loved ones are safer. Happy #Pride! https://t.co/8fQWOMspht — PolitiTweet.org

What’s worse, the Pentagon reportedly doesn’t even know how many Veterans they have deported. In many of these cases, officials also violated its own rules regarding Veterans, making life-altering mistakes. Read more⬇️5/5 https://t.co/vVKdF2wqeT — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot honor our Veterans on one day + fail them the next. I’ve introduced legislation to end this shameful practice of deporting Veterans who are not violent offenders + help many of them return to this country and access the VA care they’ve earned. 4/ https://t.co/0KsJai1JaQ — PolitiTweet.org

.@mizamudio talked to some of these Veterans who now live in Mexico, including Miguel Perez, a Chicagoan who the Trump Admin deported. Miguel lives a few miles from the US border + suffers from service-connected PTSD, but he’s barred from accessing the VA benefits he’s earned. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Tragically, according to a new report, more than 90 Veterans have been deported over the past 5 yrs. Some of them – who wore our uniform + swore to protect us – were never offered citizenship like the law requires. That’s absolutely unacceptable. https://t.co/y4DwhU5MaN 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It may surprise a lot of people but not all servicemembers who risk their lives + limbs to protect us are citizens of this great nation. Some are immigrants who came to this country seeking a better life + volunteered for service, even if it meant putting themselves in danger. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

In memory of the 49 souls lost that awful night, let’s recommit ourselves to fighting against hate and prejudice in every form and also to *finally* addressing this epidemic of gun violence. 2/2 #Enough — PolitiTweet.org

3 years ago today, we watched in horror as a gunman perpetrated one of the deadliest attacks on the #LGBTQ community in our nation’s history at Orlando’s #PulseNightclub. 1/ https://t.co/HXmEI9LqDI — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be speaking at @DeptofDefense’s #PrideMonth celebration today about the critical role LGBTQ+ servicemembers play in keeping our nation safe. You won’t want to miss it: https://t.co/bC8X5wkh5n — PolitiTweet.org

Heading into an @FCC oversight hearing where I’ll be continuing the fight of the late Martha Wright-Reed by building support for my bipartisan #PhoneJustice bill. I’m honored her grandson is attending today’s hearing to honor his grandmother’s legacy.⬇️ https://t.co/mm1tXxIKy5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I am proud to be part of her story, helping to carry on her legacy of fighting for #PhoneJustice by introducing the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2019 – which would restore the @FCC’s authority to regulate interstate prison phone rates and fees. — PolitiTweet.org

Mrs. Martha Wright-Reed fought for 20 years for #PhoneJustice for inmates calling friends or family out of state. Her dedication and perseverance was truly inspiring. https://t.co/7xETLP3Ji8 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been urging @McDonaldsCorp to address these widespread problems ever since I first heard about them from McDonald's workers last year. Read more about our efforts here: https://t.co/NbBXdNmhdT — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I led a group of 8 Senators in writing to @McDonalds today demanding it implement strong policies to protect everyone who wears a McDonald’s uniform from harassment and abuse at work, regardless of whether they work in HQ or at franchises around the country. https://t.co/ATDmBzgI2Z — PolitiTweet.org

If @McDonaldsCorp can tell its franchises how many pickles they can put on a burger, it can require its franchises to implement strong policies to protect workers from sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, Ali Stroker! I'm so proud of your success—but remain disappointed that the stage wasn’t accessible for you to accept your #TonyAward. I hope the next #TonyAwards embraces your message by making the stage accessible. #TonyAwards2019 — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago today, the Trump Administration began an attack on #NetNeutrality by repealing consumer protections nationwide. All internet users should have a level playing field where NO content is favored, slowed or blocked—which is why I’ll continue working to #SavetheNet. https://t.co/prwRs4LuRX — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This has to change so I'm working with @RepHastingsFL on legislation that would ensure servicemembers and families never receive a form like this again. Read more: https://t.co/HOm4pwWFMV — PolitiTweet.org

It is inexcusable that the Department of Defense has been mailing an antiquated form that includes a racially insensitive term to families of servicemembers killed while deployed overseas. — PolitiTweet.org
