Wishing @POTUS a full and quick recovery. A reminder to all: this pandemic is not over and COVID-19 is still spreading. If you haven't gotten your vaccine and/or booster shot, please do. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1968, Chicago hosted the first-ever @SpecialOlympics—giving 1,000 athletes a first of its kind platform to inspire the world with their strength, talent and abilities. Now, 5+ million compete in over 172 countries every year. Always proud to cheer them on. — PolitiTweet.org

Enough is enough. It's beyond time we ban assault weapons. https://t.co/2U7cF7b2hj — PolitiTweet.org

On #BumpDay—and every day—hopeful parents deserve healthy pregnancies, safe births and the best healthcare possible. We can do more to provide all families with the support they deserve through it all, like building on the maternal health provisions in the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska, for speaking with the Congress today. Her address was a grim reminder of the realities of Russia's unjustifiable war of choice. We must continue supporting our Ukrainian allies and work together to hold Vladimir Putin accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There’s something wrong when we’re used to having to bury first-graders in their favorite pairs of converse after a mass shooting. Enough was enough a long time ago. Join me and @senatordurbin @repbobmorgan @nancyrotering as we call to get these weapons of war off our streets. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m wishing you a very speedy and full recovery, JB! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The gun violence epidemic is a uniquely American disease. But there are obvious steps we can take toward solving it—including banning assault weapons. Listen in as I call for action. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No parent, no doctor, no one should have to live this way. I won’t stop working on behalf of all families to have full access to reproductive care—no matter where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

But now, because of this right-wing extremist Supreme Court and laws like the one in Texas and others, women’s lives and health are at risk. Hopeful parents are being forced to make impossible decisions while doctors are afraid to treat them for fear of being thrown in jail. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

And Marlena is not alone. I had a miscarriage, but I was lucky enough to immediately get a D&C so I could get closure, grieve and move on with trying to get pregnant again. That’s when I brought my rainbow baby, Maile, into the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The cruelty of these laws against women is unbelievable. https://t.co/3whtd3Z7gq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The ADA was supposed to consign ableism to the history books—yet, nearly 32 years later, there's still much to do to make that a reality. Tune in tomorrow to hear my conversation w/ @19thnews' @slooterman about the actions we can take to make our nation more accessible for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

How are we still allowing Big Pharma to have such a stranglehold on our country? Capping out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month is the least we could do to support working families and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Reminder: every week that gas prices remain sky high is another week Big Oil chooses to drive up profits on the backs of working families. I'm sick of this. I'm urging my colleagues in the Senate to support my bill to prevent gas price gouging. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As anyone who’s ever carried an M4 understands, AR-15s are not “safe." They're designed to kill as many people as possible, as fast and efficiently as possible. And mass shooters are hunting moms in malls, dads in theaters and kids in schools. We need to ban them outright. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For those who need insulin, the ability to afford it can be a matter of life or death. It’s beyond time we cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is unacceptable—8 million Illinoisans is over 60% of our state’s population. My legislation in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping us right this wrong. Every family deserves clean water, no matter their zip code. https://t.co/Dk51ohlI7S — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

A child in Texas covered herself in her classmate's blood to evade the shooter. A toddler in Illinois went to a holiday parade with his parents and left an orphan. If suspending the filibuster can help protect our kids from these fates, then yes, we need to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There’s a reason why the parents in Uvalde had to submit DNA to help identify their murdered children. Weapons of war belong on the battlefield. Not on our streets. https://t.co/wpEeVeagw3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As someone who grew up relying on food stamps, it breaks my heart when I hear that servicemembers struggle to feed themselves or their families. Proud that this year's NDAA builds on my provision from last year to do more to help prevent military hunger. https://t.co/vKXZULXrxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every single day, I show up ready to vote YES on an assault weapons ban. Because every child deserves to grow up in an America where somebody's Second Amendment right does not cancel out their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. https://t.co/bS7LCXQWzL — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After Roe came down, I feared IVF could be next. My two girls wouldn't exist without it—and now hopeful parents everywhere might not get to have their own kids. Or worse, they, and their doctors, could be convicted of manslaughter. https://t.co/nQQ15W1Xg5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Gun violence happens in wealthy suburban communities, low-income rural communities and urban areas—everywhere in America. But almost nowhere outside of this country.   This senseless slaughter is a uniquely American disease that requires a national solution. We need to deliver. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m pleading with my Republican colleagues—please help us stop another day of patriotism, another math class, another trip to the grocery store from turning into a living nightmare by helping us pass an assault weapons ban. https://t.co/Ng1aLcQ7xN — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While I commend U.S. Attorney Lausch’s Office for this, I’m disappointed the Chicago Cubs let it come to this. The ADA was enacted over 30 years ago—it shouldn’t take a federal lawsuit for the Cubs to finally ensure ALL their fans can enjoy Wrigley Field. https://t.co/unOas5uUSR — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, I paid my respects to Woody Williams—a World War II hero from the Greatest Generation. When our nation needed him most, he answered the call to serve and he rightfully earned a Medal of Honor for his valor. May he forever rest in peace. https://t.co/ExDmnzOTek — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last Monday, Illinoisans went to the Highland Park parade to celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Seven of them will never be able to do so again. It's time to get these weapons of war off our streets by passing an assault weapons ban. https://t.co/5u5IXWngs4 — PolitiTweet.org
