NEWS: @FTC Chair Khan is swiftly taking action after I called for a wide-ranging inquiry into the infant formula industry. I was glad to speak to her this week and look forward to reviewing the findings so we can develop legislative fixes to help ensure this doesn't happen again. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let's be clear: you are not "pro-life" if you choose to do *absolutely nothing* to save children from gun violence, save Black and Brown moms from the maternal mortality crisis and save Americans from domestic terrorism or ANY OTHER FORM of preventable crises. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I ask my Republican colleagues, when will children's lives matter more than your check from the gun lobby? When? https://t.co/TdjLjUTU7P — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Black lives matter. Now and always. It's long past time we pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to help uproot systemic racism, prevent future tragedies and truly bring us closer to equal protection under the law for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

George Floyd’s death was a tragedy—but horrifyingly, it's not an anomaly. It’s on each of us lucky enough to still be here today to use every breath we have to bring about the justice he was robbed of two years ago—and to ensure that no one else is robbed of that justice again. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

On this day two years ago, George Floyd was murdered by a police officer who had taken the oath to protect and serve. For about nine minutes—a father, a son, a brother was forced to beg for his life until he couldn’t beg any longer. https://t.co/UbVm9i37Rw — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In the face of yet another moment of unimaginable grief, it is time the Senate shows the nation that we value children’s lives more than an arcane procedural rule. It is time to do our jobs and act to protect our children from senseless gun violence. https://t.co/2u2ld419CS — PolitiTweet.org

If “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” then how did yesterday happen? We can do better—for our kids and our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

19 children and 2 teachers. Nearly a decade after 26 were killed at Sandy Hook. Nowhere else in the world are families forced to face this kind of loss in the name in "freedom." How many more kids will get gunned down before Republicans act? Enough. We can prevent this. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We know there will be another and another and another attack if we do nothing. And we know who is preventing action. The Senate should immediately—at a 50-vote threshold—vote on commonsense gun safety reforms that the American people have demanded for too long. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every parent's nightmare. I’m heartbroken for these families and angry as hell at Republicans' shameless inaction to save the lives of innocent children. For every victim of this tragedy, enough has to be enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While @SenateDems stand up for women and reproductive freedom, MAGA Republicans are scheming to take rights away from millions of Americans for the first time in our nation’s history. It’s unforgivable. https://t.co/eQVR6qPMmL — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As a founding co-chair of the Senate’s first-ever @EJusticeCaucus, I'm proud @POTUS’s admin has made environmental justice a real priority. This week will highlight historic EJ initiatives—from Justice40 to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we're making progress at long last. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is the strong American leadership we need. @POTUS's Indo-Pacific Economic Framework will help strengthen our economy, support Illinois farmers and ranchers and signal we'll work with our friends in the region to counter China's influence. https://t.co/i5BlaoxAHF — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I applaud @POTUS for swiftly signing into law the Access to Baby Formula Act, which I helped introduce. This law will help ensure WIC can immediately respond to our nation's infant formula shortage so families don’t go without the food they need. https://t.co/fzBhZECmvJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Working families shouldn't have to worry about affording the medicine or gas they need to get by. Insulin costs should be capped at $35/month. Big Oil shouldn't price gouge hardworking Americans at the pump. Democrats are working to make lower costs a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Successfully leading the Delano Grape Strike in 1965, Larry Itliong helped empower California farm workers to protest against low wages, poor working conditions and much more. May we continue to expand worker protections everywhere. #APAHM https://t.co/7f77OVUxMq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I don’t want my daughters to have to grow up in a country that won’t protect them from gun violence. I'm proud to re-introduce this legislation again with @RepBobbyRush to help prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands. https://t.co/NrSqEca2DX — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The rain couldn’t stop us from celebrating all of the accomplishments of @HarperCollege’s graduates today. I was honored to deliver this year’s commencement address, and I can’t wait to see the impact the Class of 2022 makes in their communities. https://t.co/pQanHXKdoZ — PolitiTweet.org

Every day, servicemembers put on the uniform of our nation to serve and defend our country—both at home and across the globe. This Armed Forces Day and every day, we owe them a debt of gratitude. https://t.co/EJZ47sgM2d — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome @danieldaekim and other AANHPI activists to my office with @RepAndyKimNJ. Asian Americans are American—and it's up to all of us to speak out and bring about a tomorrow where everyone can achieve the American dream and live free of hate. https://t.co/NauSKtwQpq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

🚨NEWS: Today, my colleagues and I are calling on @USGAO to conduct a study into the persistent barriers that Americans with disabilities experience in accessing healthcare *despite* having strong protections to access and receive equitable care under the law. This is overdue. https://t.co/qQjAnZEhND — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Heartbroken by this tragedy—a tragedy that happens far too often in our nation. But we don't have to live like this. We need Republicans to come to the table so we can pass what a wide majority of Americans agree we need: commonsense gun safety reforms. https://t.co/gSQXErbSge — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

One year ago, I was proud to be at President Biden's side as he signed our COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law—bipartisan legislation to help stop the anti-Asian hate plaguing our nation and terrorizing the AANHPI community. But our work is far from over. We must do more. https://t.co/wnxcHQVpI8 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last night, the House took an important step in supporting families like Officer Smith’s by passing the bipartisan Public Safety Officer Support Act I’ve been pushing for. Now it’s time for the Senate to get it over the finish line. https://t.co/fjjfWi90B3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every Senate Republican—the majority of whom don't have uteruses themselves—voted against protecting Roe v. Wade and your right to decide what happens to your own body. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our National Guardsmen and women work to protect and defend our Constitution and respond to communities in times of crisis—we should ensure they receive their earned promotion on time so their pay matches their job. Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill to do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The resources I voted to pass today will help ensure Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty, its people’s survival and their right to self-governance continues for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org
