Before finalizing their decision, I hope every Justice recognizes that you cannot ban abortions, you can only criminalize safe abortions—and that their decision in this case could have far-reaching consequences on many, many other rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Norm was not only a leader in the Asian-American community and mentor to so many—myself included—he was a giant of American history.   We’ve lost someone really important who will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.  https://t.co/QaVFdPCH8h — PolitiTweet.org

This AANHPI Equal Pay Day, I'm joining my fellow Asian American women and women everywhere to make it clear once again: all women deserve equal pay for equal work. It's time to end the gender wage gap. — PolitiTweet.org

During #APAHM, and on World Press Freedom Day, I want to recognize Connie Chung—a trailblazing news anchor whose career spanned decades on some of our most prominent news networks. A free and fair press is a key tenet of our democracy, and her work continues to inspire us all. https://t.co/VksibCOGiD — PolitiTweet.org

In a nation with a growing maternal mortality crisis and often inaccessible healthcare, without affordable childcare or universal paid leave, forcing births on millions of people—even when the mother’s life could be at risk—is particularly cruel. — PolitiTweet.org

We must act to codify Roe v. Wade into law so that every American has equal access to basic, necessary healthcare—regardless of which state they live in, the color of their skin or the size of their income. https://t.co/1VO1uL6iPn — PolitiTweet.org

If this draft opinion becomes reality, a small group far-right Justices would be stripping away protected constitutional rights that millions of American families—including my own—have relied on for 50 years and that 70% of Americans believe should be legal.

As we celebrate the hard work, determination and resilience of Jewish Americans this Jewish American Heritage Month, we must also recognize the disturbing rise in anti-Semitism across the country. It falls on all of us to call out and address anti-Semitism wherever it happens. — PolitiTweet.org

As Ramadan comes to a close, I’m hoping all those who celebrate Eid enjoy a healthy and blessed end to this holy month—and I’m wishing you prosperity throughout the rest of the year! Eid Mubarak. — PolitiTweet.org

Year after year, tour after tour, men and women from every corner of America defend the freedoms we cherish in service to our nation. For all they sacrifice, they deserve our deepest gratitude this Military Appreciation Month—and every other month, too. https://t.co/yAEb0UIsfR — PolitiTweet.org

Every Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is a time to come together to celebrate the history of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders and all that we've done to shape the America we know today.

We could help lower gas prices year-round if we made President Biden's E15 waiver permanent—offering a cheaper, cleaner option at the pump for working families. — PolitiTweet.org

I led the charge in securing $10 million for the FDA’s "Closer to Zero" baby food safety program in FY22 and helped @SenAmyKlobuchar introduce the Baby Food Safety Act.👇 But clearly, we must do more. And I'll keep leading on this to make sure we do. https://t.co/2LIRfLeaAx — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is alarming, concerning and preventable.   American families trust the FDA to make sure the baby food and formula we provide our kids are safe. That's why I've worked so hard to ensure the FDA has what it needs to make sure this happens:🧵 https://t.co/DdrqG1Ar9G — PolitiTweet.org

How many more of these tragedies must our kids endure before we take action to ensure there’s a seat belt for every child on every school bus in America? I have a bill to guarantee that they do. — PolitiTweet.org

On Yom HaShoah, we honor the 6 million innocent Jewish people that were targeted and systematically murdered during the Holocaust. As we work to ensure this dark chapter of history never repeats itself, let us do everything we can to root out anti-Semitism wherever we see it. — PolitiTweet.org

At the National Cathedral to say my final goodbyes to Secretary MadeIeine Albright—a woman who shattered barriers, redefined standards of service to our country and inspired millions. Including myself. Thinking of her loved ones today. Rest in peace, Secretary. — PolitiTweet.org

The strength of our democracy depends on the participation of the American people. That’s why I re-introduced the PROVE Act to ensure every young American can pre-register earlier so they're ready to vote as soon as they turn 18. — PolitiTweet.org

Capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month would help save lives. A good way to help make this a reality? Passing the Affordable Insulin Now Act. — PolitiTweet.org
