Three years ago on Earth Day, @SenBooker, @SenatorCarper and I launched the Senate's first-ever @EJusticeCaucus to help protect every American's right to breathe safe air, drink clean water and live on uncontaminated land.🌎 We've come a long way, and we're just getting started. https://t.co/Gi9EAx2LLR — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations, 2nd Lieutenant Gabrielle Cole, on recently becoming 1 of just 6 women helicopter pilots in the Illinois Army National Guard. Keep beating the air into submission, keep making Illinois proud. Hooah! 🚁 https://t.co/1eun2usJEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the efforts of @DIU_x and the @DeptofDefense, we’re ensuring our military can innovate and adopt more commercial technology to strengthen our national security.    Today’s office opening is tapping into the talent we all know is thriving right here in Chicago. — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden’s temporary E15 waiver will offer Americans a cheaper, cleaner option at the pump so they can keep more of their hard-earned dollars in their pockets this summer. This is great, but we can do even more if we make this waiver permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

This initiative is focused on getting lead out of drinking water across the country, including in Illinois—which is home to more known service lines than any other state. This is just another way we're helping ensure more families have access to cleaner, safer water. — PolitiTweet.org

💧This afternoon, I'm proud to lead a field hearing in Chicago as Chair of the @EPWCmte Subcommittee on Fisheries, Water and Wildlife, on the implementation of my clean water law and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s national lead service line replacement initiative. — PolitiTweet.org

We know that we can lower recidivism when incarcerated Americans can stay in touch with their family. But right now, phone calls from prisons are so incredibly expensive and out of reach for the average family. My bipartisan bill would finally change that.https://t.co/lVSMy2hFza — PolitiTweet.org

Easter reminds us that no matter how dark our days may get, there are always brighter days ahead. Wishing you and your family a very happy Easter full of love, hope, peace and renewal. — PolitiTweet.org

The story of #Passover reminds us that there is nothing we can't do when we have hope and perseverance. May the Jewish community in Illinois and across the country enjoy Pesach traditions and celebrations with those they love. Chag Sameach! — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, profits for some of the leading oil and gas companies rose to $174 billion. Big Oil can definitely afford to give folks a break at the pump during this crisis. I have a bill to make gas price gouging a federal crime. — PolitiTweet.org

I've heard stories of young kids rationing their own insulin because they know the skyrocketing price of medication could be a burden on their parents. This should not happen in one of the wealthiest countries on earth. There's no reason we can't cap insulin at $35 a month. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last week, @EPAMichaelRegan agreed that legislation I helped introduce to make E15 fuels available year-round would help bring down gas prices at the pump. Now, let’s pass it and make President Biden's E15 waiver permanent. https://t.co/E2H1HXmDTz — PolitiTweet.org

Judge John Lee and Nancy Maldonado are extraordinarily qualified for these judicial vacancies in Illinois and will both bring important perspectives to the federal bench. I look forward to their confirmation and I'm proud to join @SenatorDurbin in supporting them. — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: I re-introduced the Get the Lead Out of Assisted Housing Act with @SenToddYoung and @RepDanKildee to build on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's progress and help ensure no family is overlooked as we work to get the lead out of our nation's drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek reminds us that too often pregnancy complications among Black women are overlooked or ignored. It's long past time we pass @SenatorDurbin and my MOMMA Act to help tackle this crisis and ensure more Black moms have the chance to raise their babies. — PolitiTweet.org

This would help us reduce reliance on foreign oil while bringing down gas prices. By investing in homegrown biofuels like E15, not only will families be able to keep more money in their pockets, but it will also drive economic opportunity and job creation throughout the Midwest. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m glad @POTUS heeded our call to help lower prices at the pump for working families by allowing for the sale of E15 fuel during the summer through this temporary waiver. I hope we can make this change permanent so that this fuel can keep being a cheaper, cleaner alternative. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Heartbreaking. I'm monitoring this situation closely, and my thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and all those affected by this attack. If folks are nearby, I encourage them to listen to emergency personnel and stay safe. https://t.co/cQFGMBYUNi — PolitiTweet.org

54 years ago, the landmark Fair Housing Act was signed into law to protect every American from discrimination when buying or renting a home. There's still much more we can do to expand access to affordable housing and help secure housing justice for all. — PolitiTweet.org
