Make no mistake: Laws like SB8 in Texas show abortion restrictions will reach women of color first. We must end the filibuster to protect full reproductive care for all Americans. My op-ed in @suntimes.⬇️ https://t.co/8D6fmmUljR — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: Today, Senator @PattyMurray and I are introducing the Reproductive Healthcare Accessibility Act to help ensure those in the disability community—all 61 million of us—are not left behind in getting the care we need, when we need it. https://t.co/RpYcMd7MzB — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Soon, the Senate will act on the groundbreaking Inflation Reduction Act to tackle our climate crisis, address rising prices and take on Big Pharma. If we get this done, we can save working families money and protect our planet. We can't afford not to act—I will vote yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The men and women who selflessly serve in the Coast Guard are shining examples of @USCG’s motto: Semper Paratus—"Always Ready" at a moment’s notice to ensure the safety, security and stewardship of our nation’s waters. Happy 232nd birthday! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As Putin continues to wage his unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine, it is as important as ever to ensure our NATO alliance is as strong as possible—and I’m proud the Senate took action today to help add two new capable and committed partners: Sweden and Finland. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Horrific news. Rep. Jackie Walorski was always willing to listen to my perspective even if we don’t always vote the same way. Rest In Peace, my friend. https://t.co/qCWHyqlFHT — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Grateful for @HHSgov and the Biden Admin's leadership on long COVID! There's still so much we don't know about the impact of this virus, and I’ll continue to do all I can to get my two bills over the finish line to help expand treatment and research so no one is left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Roughly 900 rail and subway stations are still not up to ADA standards. Thanks to @USDOT, my ASAP Act in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is about to change that with the All Stations Accessibility Program. Let's get started. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After Senate Republicans chose political games and blocked the PACT Act last week, I’m proud the Senate finally passed this bipartisan legislation to expand life-saving healthcare for toxic-exposed Veterans and is sending it where it belongs: the President’s desk for signature. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Working families should never have to choose between paying rent or paying for the insulin they need to live. We need to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35/month—and I’m proud to work with @morethanmySLE to get that done! #HealthCareAwarenessMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is an important action to curb the spread of monkeypox (MPV). As we continue to learn more about this virus, please follow the latest local health guidelines and take care of yourself and your community. Here are resources that can help: https://t.co/7eZQFKKRcd — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

NEW: Over 100 of our nation's top economists agree the Inflation Reduction Act would do what Democrats wrote it to do: lower costs for Americans while reducing inflation. Let's get this done to deliver working families some much-needed, overdue relief. https://t.co/5UgofWLcgf — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

BREAKING: The Senate passed @JohnCornyn and my Public Safety Officer Support Act to help ensure surviving family members of public safety officers who died by suicide are eligible to receive support their loved ones earned through a life of service. Next up, the President’s desk! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I worked hard to get a law enacted that requires airlines to report how many wheelchairs they damage each month—but clearly, it can't stop there. Our wheelchairs are complex medical devices, not just suitcases to be tossed around. https://t.co/HrXnhOS9OH — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

People of color are disproportionately discriminated against in banking—often receiving more expensive loans when all anyone wants is a fair shot at the American Dream. Proud to help reintroduce a bill with @SenSherrodBrown to hold lenders accountable. https://t.co/h5JvL5igYJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The House did what adults are supposed to do: they acted to protect our kids when they passed the Assault Weapons Ban. Now, the Senate needs to too. Even if we need to suspend the filibuster to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No one should be denied their prescriptions like this. Yet, in a world without Roe, women are being turned away from the care they rely on. @SenatorDurbin and I wrote to @Walgreens to help right this wrong and protect the privacy of these customers. https://t.co/S1p4TDqOHT — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

AND, I joined @SenThomTillis in introducing the DEMAND Act to help ensure FEMA provides breastfeeding equipment to those who need it during natural disasters and times of crisis. I'll keep doing everything I can to support breastfeeding moms in Illinois and across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m also pressing the @TSA Administrator to address the agency’s inconsistent implementation of the 3-1-1 Liquids Rule Exemption for travel policy for breastmilk and formula at airport security checkpoints so moms and their infants can travel safely without fear of harassment. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to successfully get 2️⃣ laws passed to help ensure airports across the country provide accessible, clean and convenient lactation rooms in every terminal. No more pumping breastmilk in a toilet stall or at the gate! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As we kick off World Breastfeeding Week, let's be clear: breastfeeding is a public health issue. Here's what I've gotten done and what I'm doing to help ensure all new moms can safely and comfortably do what they need to do to feed their babies:🤱🏻⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m the daughter of a marksman and a marksman myself. Trust me, the high-powered military rifles we carried on the battlefield don't belong anywhere near our kids. We need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. It’s the bare minimum we can do to protect our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thanks in part to @POTUS, we’re seeing gas prices start to drop. But these price drops are failing to keep up with price drops in crude oil—all b/c Big Oil is betting Congress will let them get away with using Putin’s war to pad corporate profits. My bill would outlaw this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For close to 60 years, Medicare and Medicaid have given millions of Americans the opportunity to access quality, affordable healthcare for themselves and their families. While Republicans try to roll back these programs, I will always work to protect and expand them. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

NEWS: Senator @ChuckGrassley and I intro'd the Next Generation Fuels Act to offer better options at the pump to help lower costs, improve vehicle efficiency and reduce reliance on foreign oil. This would help working Americans save money during Big Oil's price hike—let's do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No one should have to travel out of state for basic healthcare. I'm grateful to the doctors coming to Illinois to provide care. It’s time we update Senate rules to allow a majority to restore access to abortion services for every American. https://t.co/ZAIyLJHtOk — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's an outrage. Weeks ago, the Senate passed the PACT Act to support toxic-exposed Veterans with **84** votes. Yesterday, Senate Republicans flipped the switch and blocked it from moving forward. Shame on them for choosing political games over our Veterans at the 11th hour. — PolitiTweet.org
