When I was bleeding to death after our Blackhawk was shot down, I didn't care if the American troops risking their lives to save me were gay, straight, transgender, Black, white—you name it. All that mattered was they didn't leave me behind. This is disgusting. — PolitiTweet.org

Ahmaud Arbery should be alive today. While his killers are rightfully behind bars, we have a long way to go to ensure what happened to Ahmaud never happens again. No one should fear that they'll be chased and shot in broad daylight while out for a jog. #BlackLivesMatter — PolitiTweet.org

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act cannot be the end of gun safety efforts in Washington—not while this seemingly endless cycle of mass shootings in America continues. We need to ban assault weapons. We need to ban high-capacity magazines. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Putin's unjustified war of choice against Ukraine has tested NATO—and NATO has emerged stronger and more unified than ever. And in this week’s trip, President Biden reaffirmed this point by underscoring our nation’s unwavering support for Ukraine and its people. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin's unjustified war of choice against Ukraine has tested NATO—and NATO has emerged stronger and more unified than ever. And in his trip last week, President Biden reaffirmed this point by assuring our nation’s unwavering support for Ukraine and its people. — PolitiTweet.org

That's quite the legacy, President Biden. And we're just getting started. Happy Presidents' Day! https://t.co/74pKkfTlBz — PolitiTweet.org

Keeping President Carter and his entire family in my thoughts during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

To address this cycle of hate that has gone on too long, we must pass the Korematsu-Takai Civil Liberties Protection Act. This legislation would send a clear message that our nation is committed to preventing these civil rights violations from happening ever again. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This dark chapter in our nation's history is a reminder that our work to defend constitutional rights and protections is never done. Not as our fellow Americans in the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities continue to be terrorized by anti-Asian hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

81 years ago today, Executive Order 9066 was signed—wrongfully interning more than 120,000 innocent Japanese Americans across the country during World War II simply because of their race. Our nation has a solemn responsibility to ensure this grave mistake never repeats itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Pharma shouldn’t be able to sell a vial of insulin for hundreds of dollars when it only costs $10 to make. Wit… https://t.co/t779OdTqLJ — PolitiTweet.org

After January's nationwide ground stop, we saw just how vulnerable some of our safety systems are. As a pilot, one thing you learn is that a safety system should never be left vulnerable to a single point of failure. It is FAA’s job to keep our airspace safe. https://t.co/HoMcpTCsWv — PolitiTweet.org

On National Caregivers Day, we owe the hardworking Americans who care for our loved ones more than a thank you. As we help ensure seniors and those with disabilities have access to quality care at home, we owe those doing the work better pay and benefits, too. #CareCantWait — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Wonderful to join @SenatorDurbin for our first Constituent Coffee of the year—a chance to share some of our work in DC and the great progress we've made as well as hear from Illinoisans on how we can continue to deliver for our state. ☕️ https://t.co/k0Pv7ttgwz — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

By having the courage to seek out the care he needs, @SenFettermanPA is sending a message to the millions of Americans who struggle with mental health every day that it is okay to ask for help. Sending my support. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 NEWS: As someone who served in uniform and grew up relying on SNAP, I’m proud to officially reintroduce my bipartisan legislation with Senator @lisamurkowski to help tackle military hunger and ensure more of our brave servicemembers have enough to eat. https://t.co/WG3BTdtPwP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Since President Biden took office, a record 12 million jobs have been created. It’s not a coincidence. It’s our Democratic economic agenda at work. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

What horrible news. Thinking of these these two crewmembers’ family and loved ones tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

President Biden is doing a lot to curb GOP attacks on reproductive freedom, but there’s so much more that can be done.   Proud to join @SenateDems in calling for more action—we can't leave any stone unturned when it comes to protecting the right to choose. https://t.co/j5W8slh97c — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It is outrageous that Big Oil raked in billions of dollars in record-breaking profits last year by jacking up gas prices at the expense of working families... Instead of boosting production to meet the needs of everyday consumers. I have a bill to ban this corporate greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, in 2019, another mass shooting struck our nation—this time in Aurora, Illinois. A gunman entered his former workplace and murdered five ex-colleagues and wounded five first responders. These horrific tragedies are preventable. Let's work together to end gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Women deserve more than flowers and candy for Valentine's Day; we deserve the right to reproductive choice—no matter what state we live in. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 NEWS: To prevent disability-related complaints from being swept under the rug, I introduced a bipartisan bill with @SenatorFischer that would help ensure that the millions of passengers with disabilities who fly every year are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

15 years since NIU. 5 years since Parkland. 15 hours since Michigan State. The same all too familiar headline. America's students deserve better than this. https://t.co/ewnIMVLRme — PolitiTweet.org

Columbine Virginia Tech Sandy Hook Parkland Uvalde Now, Michigan State. No school should be better known for its carnage than its curriculum. If you really care about our students’ well-being and lives, you’d help us pass tougher gun safety reform laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

114 years ago, the @NAACP was founded after the deadly 1908 Springfield Race Riot. By designating this area a national monument, we will help ensure that the painful lessons learned there will not be lost for the generations of Americans to come. https://t.co/Mfrvjt8dnU — PolitiTweet.org
