Of course @BetsyDeVosED doesn’t know how many athletes would be harmed if she succeeds in eliminating federal funding for the #SpecialOlympics … DeVos has only needed to know how many Special Olympians she can fit into a hypocritical photo op. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud to help launch the @SenateDems Special Committee on the Climate Crisis today because our troops deserve better, and American families deserve to know that their leaders are doing everything they can to keep their loved ones safe and their nation strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Donald Trump and the GOP can’t honestly claim to care about our national security, or our military, if they keep ignoring the crises that are sapping its strength and putting Americans at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

And yet time and again, the GOP has blocked the Navy’s efforts to invest in green energy, making it harder for our troops to do their jobs or to protect the people we love. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When I served in Iraq, 50% of all casualties occurred during convoy operations, the vast majority of which were conducted to transport diesel fuel. Meanwhile, tech. like mobile solar panels let troops turn off generators, helping them move thru enemy territory undetected. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Military leaders + even Trump’s own intelligence officials admit this is a nat’l security crisis, as terrorist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram use droughts to solidify their power in Syria and Nigeria, as storms ravage our military bases and rising sea levels threaten 100 more. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We can’t ignore it any longer. The Midwest is flooding and the West Coast is burning. Coastlines are sinking while temperatures are soaring. And worldwide, instability is rising as farmland keeps dying. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I was proud to launch the Special Committee on the Climate Crisis w/ @SenSchumer, @BrianSchatz & other @SenateDems today. We have to do more to save our planet—before even one more military base floods in the Midwest or one more wildfire tears through CA. https://t.co/q2RRUnsCdH — PolitiTweet.org

Every Illinoisan, no matter their zip code, deserves the same access to quality health services. @SenatorDurbin and I are proud to announce more than $59 million for community health centers across the state, which help provide necessary, affordable care. https://t.co/tZp42NICRc — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That's why @SenatorDurbin and I joined @PattyMurray in helping introduce the Child Care for Working Families Act, legislation that will help ensure low- and middle-income families have access to affordable and high-quality child care.➡️https://t.co/sq5olzbYtQ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For most working parents, affordable child care isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. No parent should have to choose between sending their kids to daycare during the day and putting food on the table at night. — PolitiTweet.org

TRUMP NOW: “It is now the official position of the Trump administration that all of the Affordable Care Act — including its protections for people with preexisting conditions — should be nullified.” https://t.co/cjGbcN7er4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Special Counsel's investigation produced dozens of indictments + evidence POTUS may have engaged in obstruction of justice. This summary is insufficient. The American ppl must be given the chance to read the complete #MuellerReport as soon as possible. #ReleaseTheFullReport — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We must do more to honor victims of gun violence. Thoughts & prayers aren’t enough. Now is the time for action. The GOP must let us vote on commonsense legislation like increased background checks now. No one should have to worry a given prayer, lesson or song could be their last — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

More Americans were killed by gun violence over the past 50 years than in every war in our nation’s history combined. There’s a reason that Green Berets, teachers, parents and our nation’s youth marched side by side one year ago today during the #MarchforOurLives. — PolitiTweet.org
