I wrote to Mallinckrodt's President and CEO demanding answers to why Mallinckrodt's prices are so high – and I've asked the Illinois AG to launch an investigation. Read both letters below ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/fZApNVyS6P — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is a disgusting example of greed. For a long time, I've been calling for an investigation into the unjustifiable price hikes that Mallinckrodt imposed on their lifesaving medicines – meds that treat infantile spasms, flare-ups of MS & other rheumatoid autoimmune disorders. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, #WeRemember the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions more who lost their lives because of an ideology built on hate. Let’s redouble our focus to combat antisemitism and white supremacy in every form. @HolocaustMuseum #HolocaustRemembrance — PolitiTweet.org

APAHM is a time to reflect on and take pride in the many contributions of the #AAPI community throughout our nation’s history. As we celebrate, let’s also look ahead and continue working for progress for our community and ensure the American Dream remains within reach for all. https://t.co/rUJTK7SXnb — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Glad I was able to meet with @NorthwesternU yesterday. For many, higher education is part of achieving the American Dream. We need to do everything we can to keep it affordable and accessible for all. https://t.co/bympG0KfOT — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Video evidence that Republicans and Democrats can get along. Thank you @SenatorIsakson for the wonderful gift you gave me last week in Iraq to honor my service. It’s way better than the gin I got you for Christmas! https://t.co/yYxyInKTwQ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I met with Illinois community bankers yesterday to discuss my legislation to incentivize community banks to lend more to small businesses and create good-paying jobs as well as the need to change the law to ensure legal cannabis companies can access banking services. https://t.co/SmYcRmQnjo — PolitiTweet.org

His response is spot on: “At the end of the day, Marines just care if you can get the job done. That’s the standard.” The more we can fully integrate women into combat arms, the quicker the culture will change and the better off our nation will be. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

A great nation embraces any citizen willing to put on a uniform and defend their country regardless of their gender. I asked General Berger how he would succeed where others have fallen short and transform the culture of the Marines to embrace a truly integrated fighting force. https://t.co/wA5fyd0Flw — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to speak with so many brilliant women business leaders at @Committeeof200 today. If we want the idea of women in power to go from exceptional to business as usual, we must pass legislation to ensure that women are able to climb to the highest rungs of the corporate ladder https://t.co/QigRFc53FR — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenJeffMerkley and @ChrisMurphyCT in introducing the #ChooseMedicare Act – this legislation will be an important step toward making healthcare more accessible and affordable for hardworking Illinoisans and Americans nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This #WorthyWageDay, I’m recommitting to doing everything I can to ensure that no teacher has to step away from the chalkboard and leave the classroom because our country doesn’t value the folks helping bring up the next generation.⬇️ https://t.co/w0PUCWx9Dj — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Right now, 80% of preschool teachers are making less than a living wage for a single parent, while the numbers are even worse for child care workers. These are the people charged with our children’s safety—and yet we pay them so poorly that some struggle to afford groceries. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Robocalls are not just annoying, they also take billions from vulnerable Americans like seniors, immigrant communities and those with disabilities. I’m proud to support @SenatorDurbin’s legislation to give consumers and Illinoisans the resources to go after robocallers. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I know firsthand how frustrating this problem is, which is why I’m introducing legislation with @SenBobCasey and @SenBlumenthal to help reduce the barriers that prevent too many Americans from accessing gyms across our country.⬇️ https://t.co/Rl3dpasjB1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No one should be denied the ability to lead a healthy lifestyle because they have a disability, but many exercise gyms and fitness facilities across our country are not accessible for people with disabilities and do not comply with federal rules. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t afford to leave any community behind. I’m proud to join @Sen_JoeManchin and my colleagues to reintroduce this legislation that will put people back to work to clean up contaminated, abandoned mines and provide economic opportunities to areas that need them. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’ll be on @mitchellreports today at 12:45 pm ET/11:45 am CT to talk about the bipartisan congressional delegation I led to Iraq last week – and what it was like returning for the first time to the country where I was shot down. Tune in! @MSNBC — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Reports of a shooting in a synagogue in Poway are disturbing and my heart goes out to the victims, their families and to the Jewish community. This spate of attacks in places of religious worship — in America, Sri Lanka and New Zealand — is sickening. — PolitiTweet.org
