Americans deserve safe & secure elections that aren’t threatened by foreign adversaries, which is why I joined @RonWyden in introducing the #PAVEAct. These investments are critical, especially in IL where the Russians hacked into our election database. https://t.co/25MjJ4Gv6v — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week I met with Illinois VA VISN 12 Director, Vicki Brahm, and the new VISN 15 Director, Dr. William Patterson, to discuss implementing the VA MISSION Act to make sure every Veteran gets the care they earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@SenatorDurbin + I met w/ @nardotrealtor members from Illinois to discuss how we can work together to reauthorize programs that help Americans find their dream homes, improve the National Flood Insurance Program + fix the marriage penalty for state and local taxes. https://t.co/T7hp6nU9rm — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Discussed the important investments Illinois needs in order to establish a robust + sustainable infrastructure program w/@tficIllinois. I hope the IL legislature passes a Capital bill soon to help rebuild our infrastructure, create jobs + boost our economy. #InfrastructureWeek https://t.co/YffrLQBh4s — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is causing extreme weather events with increasing frequency & intensity, like the record flooding in Illinois this spring. @SenatorCarper & I wrote to @USGAO requesting a study on how our state can be better prepared. https://t.co/oZep0WozTG — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Glad I got to celebrate the Senate passing our resolution designating this week as #NationalPoliceWeek w/the National Association of Police Organizations. I’ll keep working to ensure police receive the benefits they deserve + the resources they need to keep our communities safe. https://t.co/ctx8pJhNqY — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Considering @Senatemajldr’s track record though, I’m not optimistic. He’s refused to allow the Senate to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act or allow votes on common-sense bills to address the gun violence epidemic and reform our broken campaign finance system. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, the House passed the #EqualityAct, ensuring sexual orientation and gender identity are protected under the Civil Rights Act! This is great news & long overdue. Discrimination has no place in our society & @Senatemajldr should immediately bring it up for a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

“Arbitrary and capricious” might as well be the slogan of the Trump Administration—but that doesn’t begin to help the countless families and human beings whose lives have been negatively impacted by the awful policies this Administration is trying to enact. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenSchumer @SenatorDurbin @SenFeinstein @maziehirono @SenatorMenendez @SenatorLeahy You can read more about this here: https://t.co/U0fuUAONj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Instead of letting people who are striving to create a better life suffer, our proposals offer a helping hand. I’m proud to join @SenSchumer, @SenatorDurbin, @SenFeinstein, @maziehirono, @SenatorTomCarper, @SenatorMenendez & @SenatorLeahy in introducing this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Instead of leaving thousands stuck in legal limbo, waiting for their day in court, our proposals would actually increase the number of immigration judges to bring down the backlog of cases at the border. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Instead of just talking about violence people face, our proposals would help South & Central American countries eliminate the very cartels and gangs driving people away. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Instead of ripping children away from their parents and failing to keep them safe, our proposals would hold HHS accountable with timely, routine wellness checks. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Two years of Donald Trump’s immigration reform policies have been harmful enough. Senate Democrats are offering comprehensive legislation to revamp our border security resources AND actually address the root causes of violence that have led to this migrant crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If Donald Trump doesn’t want war with Iran, he should stop being manipulated by John Bolton — who is notorious for wanting to send OTHER people’s children into combat. Bolton has always wanted regime change war in Iran & he’s already manipulated Trump into increasing tensions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

With the Trump Admin recklessly escalating tensions with Iran, I joined @AC360 to urge the Trump Admin to brief Congress ASAP. Remember, only Congress has the authority to declare war, NOT Donald Trump or John Bolton. And that’s NOT something we’ve voted to do. Watch: https://t.co/PDUW0oQmMO — PolitiTweet.org

The guy who pledged to protect the non-existent “Article XII” of the Constitution also wants to require that every immigrant pass a civics exam. #ImmigrationReform https://t.co/G01PY0NwJd — PolitiTweet.org

@FAANews If confirmed, I hope Mr. Dickson will work with me to address our national safety challenges, including strengthening the Flight Standardization Board, so that we prevent needless tragedies from happening in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I pressed @FAANews Administrator Nominee John Dickson to commit to upholding critical airline safety standards that ensure pilots receive necessary training and proper rest before piloting commercial aircraft. https://t.co/WP1aA6EqQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s galling that during #NWHW, Alabama passed legislation that would violate women’s basic freedoms and restrict their access to healthcare. We all need to fight against extreme laws like these while continuing our work to protect women’s right to medical care. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

BREAKING: The Trump Administration just agreed to brief the Senate on its intelligence regarding Iran, after I called on them to do just this earlier today. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This morning, I called on the Trump Administration to brief all Senators ASAP regarding the intel they claim to be using to justify escalating tensions with Iran. Congress is the only branch of government with the power to declare war and we have a right to know what’s going on https://t.co/lhuS5bHgXs — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I’m working with @SenDanSullivan to pass the bipartisan Funeral Honors for Veterans Act. This legislation would establish a uniform standard and ensure military families and loved ones aren’t left in the lurch by our nation at one of the hardest times in their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our military must do a better job of making sure our Veterans and servicemembers have equal access to military funeral honors. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

To mark the 65th anniversary of #BrownvBoard - which found segregated schools unconstitutional - Senate Republicans just pushed through the nomination of Wendy Vitter, who REFUSED to say that case was decided correctly.🤔😡 That's disqualifying and I voted NO on her nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Trump Admin is moving us closer to conflict w/ Iran but they’ve failed to share the intel driving this escalation w/the Senate or the American ppl! I went on @allinwithchris to talk about this + emphasize only Congress can declare war. Not Trump and certainly not John Bolton. https://t.co/xvAvE1bomZ — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenTinaSmith: Let’s be clear—Alabama’s extreme abortion ban puts women’s lives at risk. Denying women health care is wrong, and they do… — PolitiTweet.org
