The gender pay gap is not a myth, it’s math. We’re more than 3 months into 2019, but it took until *today* for the avg woman in America to finally make what the avg man earned by December 31st last year. That’s not right—it’s time to pass the #PaycheckFairness Act. #EqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Inmates are particularly vulnerable during emergencies and disasters as they rely on officials to provide basic necessities and evaluate safer locations. @SenatorHassan and I are calling on @USGAO to investigate whether the Bureau of Prisons is adequately prepared. https://t.co/L6hCNmYYFy — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this week, I joined @SenatorDurbin and @SenatorCarper in asking for all documents involving @EPA political officials’ handling of Sterigenics and the health risks associated with ethylene oxide. (5/5) https://t.co/tso8EyyAZF — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Families in Waukegan & Gurnee have just as much right to know whether the air they breathe is safe & if they are being exposed to dangerous levels of cancer-causing emissions as their Willowbrook neighbors do. The @EPA should immediately begin monitoring in Lake County. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Now @EPA must begin air quality testing near Medline and Vantage – the 2 Lake County facilities that produce ethylene oxide emissions. (3/5) https://t.co/FE4sqoS6Ay — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Because of air quality monitoring, we know Sterigenics was emitting alarmingly high levels of ethylene oxide, posing a significant public health threat. This data rightfully led to the shutdown of this facility. (2/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, the @IDPH published awful news that some types of cancer incidences in Willowbrook are higher than the rest of state. These cancers are associated with exposure to ethylene oxide. (1/5) — PolitiTweet.org
