The Administration shouldn’t be allowed to harm our nation’s military readiness in order to score political points by building a wall – which is the most expensive & least effective way to secure our border – and I’ll keep working to ensure the NDAA makes that very clear to Trump — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I also introduced an amendment to the NDAA that would have prevented any President from weakening military readiness by diverting critical funds for an unnecessary border wall or fence. https://t.co/PjbUFjUMIC — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to continue improving the NDAA and ensure Congress sends a message that we have our troops’ backs. https://t.co/prvA4zOnma — PolitiTweet.org

My war injuries are obvious, but many of our troops come home with invisible wounds, too—and they are no less deserving of high-quality care for those injuries as I was for mine. I spoke with #HiddenHeroesTODAY about my work to improve mental health services for Veterans. Watch: https://t.co/6CoCyelqnY — PolitiTweet.org

Good news! The Senate just passed the TRACED Act – one way to hang up on robocalls for good. The TRACED Act, which I co-sponsored, would help ID robocalls, block them BEFORE your 📞 starts ringing, and add penalties to fine the worst robocallers. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I wrote to @McDonalds CEO Steve Easterbrook demanding they address their systematic workplace safety problems. I’ll continue pushing for progress and urging them to pay all their workers a living wage.✊#Fightfor15 https://t.co/PUAChSRP9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud of all the workers who are protesting today for a better workplace at @McDonalds. We ALL deserve to work at a place where we feel safe, valued and able to report harassment without retaliation. #Fightfor15 — PolitiTweet.org

The recent measles outbreak is so troubling, especially as a mom to two young daughters. Proud to help introduce a bipartisan bill to ensure more Americans understand that vaccinations + immunizations save countless lives. They’re safe, effective + vital to our nation’s health. — PolitiTweet.org

Repurposing funds intended to buy advanced screening equipment for airports undermines our national security. Trump is weakening the very agency that was established in the aftermath of 9/11, potentially to pay for a political wall that he promised Mexico would pay for. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our troops put themselves at risk to defend our nation & our democracy. We owe it to them to ensure they have every chance to participate in that democracy. Proud to join Sen. Cornyn & @SenAngusKing on this bill to help our heroes make their voices heard https://t.co/Vi2MvGbuY5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our servicemembers put themselves at risk to defend this nation and our democracy. We owe it to them to make sure they have every opportunity to participate in that democracy. I’m proud to join Sen. Cornyn & @SenAngusKing on this bill to help our heroes make their voices heard. — PolitiTweet.org

The maternal mortality crisis disproportionately impacts women of color + ppl living in underserved/rural areas. It’s why I also joined @SenatorDurbin to intro the MOMMA Act. No more women should die from preventable causes on what should be the most special day of their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s unconscionable that, since giving birth to Maile, hundreds of expectant + new moms are estimated to have died from preventable causes. Proud to join @SenKamalaHarris + colleagues to intro the Maternal CARE Act to address our nation’s growing maternal mortality crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Many of our nation’s best + brightest are struggling to find good-paying jobs at the same time many businesses are searching for qualified candidates to hire. Investing in our community colleges can help bridge this divide, preparing hardworking Americans for 21st century jobs 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That's why @SenatorCollins & I are introducing bipartisan legislation to ensure we’re no longer asking Veterans to pay more for essential health services than every other insured American. You can read more about our commonsense legislation here: https://t.co/36gPPIDv8k — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

All Americans deserve access to the best healthcare possible, especially Veterans who risked life and limb to defend our nation. However, current law forces Veterans to pay for preventive health services that servicemembers + civilians w/ private insurance plans receive for free. — PolitiTweet.org

With 2020 fast approaching, it’s unacceptable that @senatemajldr hasn't brought leg to the floor to protect our nation from foreign adversaries. The Senate should act quickly on leg like the #PAVEAct to invest in our elections + the DETER Act to make election interference illegal — PolitiTweet.org
