Grateful @SecDef heeded our request to send Ukraine more of the military aid they need as they continue to fight against Putin’s war of choice and for their lives, sovereignty and survival. https://t.co/oXaTzbSDss — PolitiTweet.org

✅Boosts our economy ✅Protects public health ✅Creates jobs through investments in water infrastructure Proud that many of the provisions I led to address environmental injustices were included, making communities at the forefront of these issues a priority. Let's get it done! — PolitiTweet.org

Under @GovPritzker’s leadership, proud to see that @Google is the latest big tech company to invest in Chicago. This will generate economic growth, save taxpayers money and create jobs for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨Today, Republicans blocked @SenMarkey, @MazieHirono and my legislation to codify every American's right to contraception. I refuse to let my daughters grow up in a world with fewer rights than I had. Democrats will not give up. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

16 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was reauthorized with overwhelming bipartisan support. Since then, we've seen Republicans engage in a relentless effort to dismantle voting rights and usher in Jim Crow 2.0. The work to protect our right to vote is not over. — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: Provisions of my Environmental Justice For All Act passed the House Natural Resources Committee! This moves us closer to finally tackling pollution and environmental inequity for marginalized communities. Thank you Chair @RepRaulGrijalva and @NRDems for your leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

If you or your loved ones need any assistance as a result of these flash floods, you can call 2-1-1 for assistance and to report damage. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Lower costs, job creation, a boost in American manufacturing—that’s what our CHIPS bill would do. Proud the Senate got this done to help keep the economy strong, save money for working families and ensure we remain a leader in research and development, science and manufacturing. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We’d never accept airlines breaking the legs of 1 in 65 passengers. But that’s essentially what’s happening when 1 in 65 wheelchairs is broken by airlines. It’s happened to me before. I’ll keep working to hold airlines accountable and ensure they address this problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Folks, this is exciting: With this announcement, my ASAP Act (that was included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) is getting started helping communities around the country improve public transit stations to make sure they are all truly accessible for those with disabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm so proud of the work that @FDRMemorial has done to make accessibility improvements for blind and low-vision visitors at this important memorial. As we move forward, I'm excited for the day when every memorial is accessible for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, as we celebrate 32 years of the ADA, we're much closer to having true representation for the disability community at the FDR Memorial. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today marks 32 years of the ADA and, while we have a lot to celebrate, we know there's a long road ahead to providing full equality and accessibility everywhere for every American. Looking forward to accomplishing much more over the next 32 years. https://t.co/q9vgbOtovc — PolitiTweet.org

I’m monitoring the flash-flooding in Metro East. I urge all residents to stay safe, follow local officials’ guidance and call 9-1-1 if you need help in an emergency. https://t.co/kYYexpHVb8 — PolitiTweet.org

Access to buy and use assault weapons should not outweigh a child's right to life. https://t.co/1Vvkkivadt — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Codifying a woman's right to choose is about so much more than abortions. It's about the freedom to make your own decisions. It's about the privacy to make those choices. And it's about making sure our daughters can determine their futures for themselves and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's been 13 years since the federal minimum wage has gone up. No one should be paid a wage that leaves them scraping by to provide for their families. It’s beyond time we deliver a livable wage. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenateDems: Senate Dems came to the floor to pass the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act. Republicans blocked it. “The real Re… — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If Republicans are so outraged by prices at the pump, they should be upset with the oil & gas CEOs that aren’t lowering gas prices as the cost of crude oil drops. And they should support my bill to make Big Oil’s greedy gas price gouging illegal. Together, we could fix this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm with President Biden: suspend the filibuster to codify women's full reproductive rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Without Roe v. Wade, we must do all we can to ensure women have access to the healthcare they need. I’m glad @HHSGov is acting to protect birth control, plan B and other contraception for Americans in red and blue states alike. It's the right thing to do. https://t.co/qXavmrGgC6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The last time I heard the sound of gunfire that rapid on the Fourth of July was when I was in Iraq. I never thought I’d hear that on this holiday again, let alone here on U.S. soil. This is a uniquely American disease that requires a national solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The leading cause of death for children isn't cancer. It isn't car accidents. It's gun violence. Only in America. We can stop this. https://t.co/ttivzLGwr1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When an airline breaks my wheelchair, they essentially break my legs. And I know many feel the same way. I applaud @USDOT’s first-ever Bill of Rights for airline passengers with disabilities. Every American deserves to travel with dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While Republicans continue blocking efforts to lower everyday costs, Democrats are working to give Medicare the power to negotiate and lower the price of prescription drugs so working families can keep more money in their pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Americans are facing staggering challenges right now. I'm pushing for a safer, more affordable and more equal nation every single day. https://t.co/88Kz4pTWwI — PolitiTweet.org
