BREAKING: President Biden signed my bipartisan Public Safety Officer Support Act into law to ensure our nation honors and supports the families of fallen police officers, firefighters and first responders who die by suicide. It's the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

From your phone to your dishwasher, microchips are critical to just about every piece of technology we use. With the CHIPS and Science Act, we'll reward companies that bring microchip manufacturing jobs home from China—strengthening our supply chain security and resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

With the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law, Democrats are cracking down on Big Pharma’s greed by empowering Medicare to negotiate to lower the price of prescription drugs and capping costs for seniors across Illinois. And we did it without a single Republican vote. https://t.co/9YtZCrl9xV — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: @POTUS just signed the historic Inflation Reduction Act into law. Largest congressional climate action ever. Lowering healthcare and Rx costs. Cutting inflation and our deficit. Closing corporate tax loopholes. Democrats are delivering for working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Sending @FLOTUS my best and wishing her a quick and full recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

As our students, teachers and staff head back to school across Illinois, please know that I'm always in your corner. In the Senate, I'll keep working to ensure you have the resources and support you need to have a safe, enriching school year.🍎✏️📚 — PolitiTweet.org

For over eight decades, Social Security has uplifted seniors and folks with disabilities. It's a lifeline that working Americans pay into their whole career. Yet, if Republicans get their way, every 5 years it would be put on the chopping block. Democrats won't let it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Some of the most profitable companies in America take advantage of a system that enables them to cheat their way into paying little to no taxes. The Inflation Reduction Act will tackle some of this corporate tax dodging by ensuring these companies pay a 15% minimum tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Black Business Month is a chance for us all to celebrate those entrepreneurs that create jobs and keep our economy running. So this month, I encourage all Illinoisans to take time to support Black-owned small businesses that help our communities and local economies thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Just 8% of Americans are uninsured today—the lowest rate in our nation's history. And it's no accident. It's what happens when a party works to improve and expand the ACA, rather than tear it down. https://t.co/p4P5VdZuXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Inflation Reduction Act is the most significant move Congress has ever taken to tackle the climate crisis and support environmental justice communities. Thanks to Democrats, we're building a safer, healthier world for ALL of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Soon, my bipartisan Public Safety Officer Support Act will be signed into law—a victory made possible because of the dedication of the late Officer Jeffrey Smith’s widow, Erin Smith, and his parents, Richard and Wendy Smith, who I’m proud to represent. https://t.co/n2aMKPrjCc — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Gas prices falling 57 days in a row resulted in a 0% increase in the CPI in July. And real wages went up for the first time in nearly a year. But we know costs are still too high. Let's make the Inflation Reduction Act law to continue slashing energy costs and our deficit. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

So glad we got this done, @morethanmySLE. The Inflation Reduction Act will extend the ACA premium subsidies that we secured in the American Rescue Plan so no family sees their healthcare costs sky-rocket at the end of the year. Because Democrats are the party of healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

BREAKING: President Biden signed the PACT Act into law—finally providing millions of toxic-exposed Veterans with the life-saving healthcare they earned through their service. This is long overdue, and I'm glad we got it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The IRA also includes billions in grants to help community-led projects in marginalized communities, like health risks caused by pollution and our climate crisis.   The sooner it becomes law, the sooner we can help deliver environmental justice! Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In addition to fighting inflation, the Inflation Reduction Act invests in domestic energy production and manufacturing as well as puts us on a path to reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's no secret that the Inflation Reduction Act is the most significant climate action in American history, but it also helps deliver for marginalized communities shouldering the health consequences of pollution and other environmental injustices—a top priority of mine.🌎👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

BREAKING: @POTUS has signed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act into law! This will boost American manufacturing, create jobs, lower costs and save working families money. Democrats promised we'd work together with our colleagues to get things done—and we're delivering. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We've seen gas prices decline for 8 straight weeks—the fastest decline in over a decade. Now, we need to pass my legislation to prevent Big Oil price gouging and help ensure these sorts of shameful gas price hikes never happen again. https://t.co/dcvCoMw54p — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last year, Chicago Police Officer Ella French was killed with a straw purchased firearm—a tragedy that never should have happened. Proud to help intro legislation with @SenatorDurbin to prevent illegal firearms trafficking and keep our communities—and those who serve them—safer. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

And we did it all in a way that protects every working family making less than $400,000 from seeing their taxes increase. This is going to have a real, positive impact on so many families, and I’m proud to have helped get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act will help working Americans:   💊Save money on prescription drugs 👊Fight inflation 🌎Tackle the climate crisis 📉Cut the deficit by hundreds of billions 💰Ensure megacorporations pay their fair share — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Inflation Reduction Act is passed! This is a big deal: @SenateDems—without a single Republican vote—passed historic changes that will put working Americans first. Here’s how⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Every Purple Heart Day, I spend the day thinking about my brothers and sisters who selflessly answered the call and were wounded in service to our nation. To all of our nation’s Purple Heart recipients: thank you for your sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My friends are 100% correct: the #InflationReductionAct is a pragmatic compromise to cut deficit by 100s of billions, slash prescription drug costs & boost clean energy jobs. There will be amendments I love & many I hate. I'll vote NO on all to protect this deal & deliver for IL. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

On this day in 1965, the Voting Rights Act passed with broad bipartisan support—and has been reauthorized by both parties multiple times. Efforts by this Republican party to encourage Jim Crow 2.0 is a national disgrace. Every American's freedom to vote needs to be protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Under Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, no small business or family earning less than $400,000 will see their taxes go up. Instead, it'll help ensure the ultra-wealthy and mega-corporations finally pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We're not stopping anybody from going to the range or going hunting if we ban assault weapons. Because you're not using those weapons to hunt anyway, unless you are hunting people. https://t.co/Mvm9krpj7f — PolitiTweet.org

It’s official. Our unemployment rate is back to pre-pandemic levels and tied for the lowest since 1969. There's much more to do—but with 528,000 new jobs also added to our economy last month, more folks are back to work. Thanks to Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org
