NEWS: Today, I introduced the Public Health Air Quality Act of 2022 with @RepLBR to help address generational air pollution and strengthen our national air monitoring system. Every American in every community deserves to breathe safe air—no matter their skin color or zip code. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join mothers and survivors from Highland Park, Uvalde and other mass shootings on Capitol Hill to speak out and demand additional commonsense gun safety reforms. https://t.co/CsUhZmW1CH — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil will continue to pocket outrageous profits from Putin’s war of choice if we let them. That’s why we need to pass my legislation to finally ban gas price gouging during an international crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today's economic report makes one thing clear: despite oil prices falling 20% late last month, Big Oil executives are still refusing to fully pass along those savings to working Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

My ASAP Act in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law could help speed up projects just like this—and I hope NYC takes advantage of it. It's been 30 years since the ADA. People with disabilities shouldn't have to wait another 30+ years for accessible transit. https://t.co/C8eRHw4HGs — PolitiTweet.org

This is Natalie Lorentz—a survivor of the Highland Park Massacre. She's fed up with senseless gun violence terrorizing our kids and our communities and so am I. At today's rally at the Capitol, I'll be with her as we demand an assault weapons ban and real change. https://t.co/WASEhcpski — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As we continue to mourn the Highland Park massacre and all lives lost to preventable gun violence, it was important for me to join @SenatorDurbin and survivors today to hear their harrowing stories. We cannot rest until every community in America is safe from gun violence. https://t.co/orCWNELSdC — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: After 7 years, the Senate has finally confirmed a Director of the @ATFHQ. Steven Dettelbach is a career public servant who is well-suited to help us address our nation's gun violence epidemic, and ultimately, save lives. I voted YES. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of @SenDurbin and @LtGovStratton for their leadership and the State of Illinois for being a beacon for the millions impacted by the Dobbs decision. Democrats will continue pushing to affirm full reproductive rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The simple truth is this: Big Oil companies are actively keeping gas prices sky high to inflate profits. They’re more worried about stock buybacks than working families affording the gas they need. We need to act on my Gas Price Gouging Prevention Act NOW to help stop this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This might not be the kind of military action they write movies about, but it’s just as important to our nation’s defense—and our support for Ukraine. This story makes the former Army logistics officer in me so proud of my state and the efforts of Transportation Command. — PolitiTweet.org

Warm wishes to everyone celebrating Eid al-Adha! For those who celebrate, it's a reminder of one’s duty to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Even the smallest sacrifices can make a big difference for others. Eid Mubarak! — PolitiTweet.org

While we still have work to do to bring down everyday costs for Americans, this is good news: we’ve gained back all the jobs we lost during the pandemic and our unemployment rate remains historically low. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Since the Supreme Court cruelly overturned Roe, people across the country have been crying out for action. I’m glad @POTUS answered my call for an EO and took this first step to reaffirm the right to choose for every American. Now it’s time Congress acts to codify this right. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Crestfallen that @AbeShinzo passed away after being shot by an assassin at a campaign event. Sending my condolences to his family, loved ones and the people of Japan today. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is horrible news in a tragic week. I hope @AbeShinzo pulls through. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For decades, Brigadier General Vaught has served this nation both in uniform and as a tireless voice for women in our Armed Forces. For her trailblazing career and her lifetime of service, I’m proud that @POTUS heeded my call and awarded her the Medal of Freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud that this federal support will help hopeful parents in Dixon bring their little ones into the world. One reason I do the work I do is to help make life easier for working families, and today’s announcement is a win for the folks who do or who will depend on @KSBHospital. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Irina McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy. Jacki Sundheim. Katherine Goldstein. Eduardo Uvaldo. Nicolas Toledo. Stephen Straus. For Highland Park and every community terrorized by gun violence, we need to suspend the filibuster and do more so no other city ever suffers this tragedy again. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I say this from my own experience: the gunfire heard in the horrific videos from the Highland Park Massacre sound like war. No one needs a 50-round drum. No one needs a 30-round magazine. No one needs a weapon of war on our streets. https://t.co/MAdOQXgV0t — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Retweet if you believe we need a nationwide ban on assault weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I carried an assault weapon throughout my 23 years in the Army. I know what they can do to a human body—and they don't belong on the streets of America. We need a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. https://t.co/rly1C21Uya — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last month, we proved that we can pass bipartisan gun safety legislation. Yesterday’s tragedy proved that we can’t stop there. We need to pass the additional commonsense gun safety reforms Americans are crying out for. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thankful to the @WhiteHouse for heeding my call to lower the flags in recognition of this tragedy. My heart is with my fellow Illinoisans who never made it home after attending Highland Park’s Fourth of July parade yesterday and all who loved them. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After listening to the videos captured at Highland Park, I thought to myself: the last time I heard a weapon with that capacity firing that rapidly on a Fourth of July was in Iraq. It was not on American soil. We can and we must and we will do better. https://t.co/jKxDcAn5eq — PolitiTweet.org

RT @FBIChicago: FBI Chicago is aware of the situation in Highland Park, IL and has deployed resources to the scene. We encourage the public… — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

RT @RepSchneider: Today's shooter in Highland Park is still at large, and law enforcement is searching for him. If you have any information… — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Absolutely terrifying. Families from all over seek out this time-honored tradition on Fourth of July—and today, many found themselves running for their lives. Every community deserves to be safe from senseless gun violence. https://t.co/fz0McYMTbX — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Happy Fourth of July! As we celebrate America's independence, let us also honor those who sacrificed for our nation so we could be free. Today is a reminder that our work to build that more perfect Union envisioned by the Founders is never finished.🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org
