6/7: But wait, what if you didn't claim one, several or any of the advanced monthly payments? No worries, eligible families can still claim the missed payments or the entire expanded Child Tax Credit through their 2021 tax return. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

5/7: The other half of most eligible families' expanded Child Tax Credit can be claimed through their 2021 tax return—which must be filed by April 18, 2022. Ahead of Tax Day, you can find more information at https://t.co/XYBdTzS0xt. — PolitiTweet.org

4/7: BUT, most families still need to collect HALF of the total expanded Child Tax Credit available to them—again, thanks to the American Rescue Plan. Here's how to get the rest👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

3/7: In addition to the Child Tax Credit being expanded, the American Rescue Plan allowed more families to be eligible than ever before by ending the minimum income requirement—thanks to Democrats. *30 million families* were eligible for this tax cut. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

2/7: First, what is the expanded Child Tax Credit? Thanks to the hard work of Democrats, the American Rescue Plan expanded the Child Tax Credit to provide eligible families up to $3,600 for kids up to age 5—and $3,000 for kids ages 6-17—to help support them through the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Wondering if you're eligible for the second half of the American Rescue Plan's expanded Child Tax Credit? Unsure what the expanded Child Tax Credit is? Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is, how to see if you're eligible and everything you need to know ahead of Tax Day🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud @POTUS signed our bipartisan funding agreement into law yesterday to send $14 billion in additional aid to Ukraine. The U.S. is dedicated to supporting Ukraine by sending the resources and weapons they need and is leading the free world in punishing Putin for this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let's be clear: Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and inexcusable war of choice is succeeding in one thing—uniting the free world against Putin’s inhumanity and cruelty and in support of Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty, its people and its right to self-governance. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This morning, I attended @ZelenskyyUa’s virtual address to Congress. Our country and the world remain in awe of the bravery of the Ukrainian people who, with the fearless leadership of President Zelenskyy, are continuing to repel Putin’s forces against overwhelming odds. — PolitiTweet.org

One year ago, a shooter targeted and murdered six Asian women in the Atlanta Spa shootings. Tragically, anti-AANHPI hate crimes continue to terrorize our fellow Americans to this day. I'm proud we passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, but we must do more to #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: @POTUS just signed our bipartisan funding agreement into law to support working families, create jobs, boost our economy, send much-needed aid to Ukraine and reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. What a great day. — PolitiTweet.org

On what would have been her 89th birthday, I'm thinking of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg whose unmatched legal mind and fierce advocacy changed the lives of countless women—and men—across the country. Myself included. https://t.co/cEf5fjQVsR — PolitiTweet.org

My office and I are tracking this pipeline leak and staying updated on what's needed from the federal level. I'm also grateful for the officials on the ground, working hard to protect Southern Illinoisans from this environmental hazard. https://t.co/PTdBa6SnwF — PolitiTweet.org

An extra 2 whole months and 15 days. That’s how long it takes for white women to make the same amount men made in the same job last year. And it's even worse for women of color. On #EqualPayDay, let's be clear: We need equal pay for equal work for ALL women—and we need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are committed to rebuilding our nation with products made in America. And by buying American, we'll support good-paying jobs right here at home. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenatorDurbin Thank you, @SenatorDurbin! — PolitiTweet.org

While I’m relieved the Smith family’s long saga to have Jeffrey’s death recognized as a line of duty death is nearing an end, we need to pass my Public Safety Officer Support Act to help ensure no family ever has to go through this. https://t.co/iLMHxJouMS — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased I was able to secure funding for important projects that will help clean up our water, improve our state’s infrastructure, expand healthcare access, create jobs and tackle environmental injustice issues facing communities across Illinois. https://t.co/ThI8ARflsT — PolitiTweet.org

In the last year, our economy added 375,000 manufacturing jobs. By making more things in America, we're getting more folks back to work, strengthening our supply chains and moving goods faster and cheaper. Let's keep it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, we remember Breonna Taylor. Two years ago today, Breonna was asleep in her own home when she was killed. No officers were charged directly with her death. Together, let us #SayHerName and finally build a justice system that protects every American. https://t.co/im5DPSx3ns — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations on 110 years of work supporting the next generation of girls, @GirlScouts! This week, I was proud to introduce a bipartisan resolution with @SenCapito to commemorate and honor your historic organization. Keep up the good work! https://t.co/TAoZTAWCUW — PolitiTweet.org

We need to cut off Russia and its oligarchs from the funds they need to wage Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine. https://t.co/t6OgKbckJx — PolitiTweet.org

A year after the American Rescue Plan was signed into law, it's doing what Democrats wrote it to do: help dig us out of this pandemic and revitalize our economy. Let's keep this momentum going. https://t.co/wR62ga2CoS — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, we finally reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act. I’m so proud we got this done to help support survivors of sexual and domestic violence who've endured the unimaginable at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our nation is stronger when we invest in our communities and families—and that’s what tonight’s bipartisan funding agreement does. This bill will support working Americans, create jobs, boost our economy & send needed support to Ukrainians fighting against Putin’s war of choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

UPDATE #3: Today, I called on @POTUS to establish a Gasoline Price Gouging Enforcement Task Force to protect hardworking American consumers from the oil industry. This will send a strong message to Big Oil that a cop is on the beat and ready to crack down on excessive gas prices. https://t.co/6LMLWpdEZY — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Far too many of our military families are going hungry because of a harmful quirk in federal law. That's one reason why @lisamurkowski and I introduced a bipartisan bill to fix that law and help make sure these families have enough to eat. https://t.co/0l4WRMcVFn — PolitiTweet.org

On National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost and all the healthcare workers who care for those living with HIV/AIDs. Like Dr. Fauci said, we can end this epidemic by 2030 if we work together. #NWGHAAD — PolitiTweet.org
