Today, justice was served in the courtroom. But the word "guilty" cannot bring Ahmaud back and my heart is with his family. No one—no matter their race—should go from a peaceful jog to being chased and killed. America has a long way to go on the path to true justice and equality. — PolitiTweet.org

What are Democrats doing with Build Back Better?   We're working to help families spend less on child care. Less on pre-K. And less on healthcare and other basic needs.   👀That’s the reality we're trying to create with @POTUS' Build Back Better Agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

No American should be forced to drink water that’s contaminated with dangerous chemicals that could put their health and the health of their families at risk. Proud to work with @SenatorCarper to secure provisions in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal to help clean up our water. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Child care should not cost more than rent or a mortgage. Working parents deserve to have affordable options so they can stay in the workforce while knowing their kids are being taken care of. With Build Back Better, we can make sure every family can afford child care. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm so pleased to announce that 3.5 million vaccine doses will arrive in Indonesia and 1 million vaccine doses will arrive in Thailand by next week. I'll keep working closely with @POTUS to help ensure these nations receive the safe, effective vaccine doses they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Blue states and red states. Democrat, Independent and Republican. Any race, gender identity, zip code or income. Every American must have equal access to the ballot box, no ifs ands or buts. — PolitiTweet.org

Over 16 years ago at Walter Reed, @SenatorDurbin gave me his card and told me to call if there was ever a problem I saw that needed fixing—and, boy did I hold him to it! It's an honor working with you in the Senate to help improve the lives of Illinoisans. Happy birthday! https://t.co/yFKu1Zrx9N — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @POTUS! I hope your day is full of celebrations and a whole lot of ice cream🍦 Looking forward to another year of working together to build back better. https://t.co/8txWIP86Kv — PolitiTweet.org

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember the trans and gender non-conforming Americans who were murdered simply because of who they were. Let's honor them by working to end transgender violence and finally pass the Equality Act so everyone can be their most authentic selves. — PolitiTweet.org

One forced pregnancy, one unsafe abortion, one life changed forever is one too many. The right to choose is just that: the right to choose what's right for your body and your life. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Bloom was given a fair chance to prove he could lead @USPS Board. And he failed miserably. Back in February, I called on @POTUS to fire Bloom and all of DeJoy’s enablers and I commend the President’s leadership in empowering us to turn the page on the Trump-Bloom-DeJoy disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The House passing Build Back Better shows that Democrats are doing everything we can to cut costs for people across the country. Now we need to pass it out of the Senate and have the President sign it into law ASAP. Because working families deserve to finally get a fair shake. — PolitiTweet.org

This is straight up modern day McCarthyism. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Good on @DeptofDefense for working to curb food insecurity within our military, but so much more needs to be done to tackle the root issue of this hunger crisis. We need to go further and establish a basic needs allowance in the FY22 NDAA. https://t.co/RRMlSun7r8 — PolitiTweet.org

Another way the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is helping us build back better? It permanently authorized the @USMBDA to make sure we keep supporting business owners of color. Because recovering better than before means lifting up every single one of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Universal pre-K would help ensure millions of children can attend a high-quality preschool and get a good start on their education—no matter how much money their parents make. That's the promise of the Build Back Better Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Across 20 years and 4 Presidents, both parties share responsibility for the failures that unfolded in Afghanistan. Now, we should look back to avoid making the same missteps again. My op-ed in @starsandstripes⬇️ https://t.co/kSuCJbFm2J — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of our military families face food insecurity because of a flaw in the current law. I'm working with @RepJimmyPanetta to make sure this year's defense bill finally ends the scourge of military hunger. https://t.co/DcM10CgUuf — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when small businesses are still working hard to recover, Republicans once again refused to show up today to vote on a nominee to help run the Small Business Administration. Enough. Let's do our jobs and #ConfirmDilawar. — PolitiTweet.org

This Education Support Professionals Day, join me in thanking all the support staff—the bus drivers, school nurses, cafeteria workers and more—who make sure our students' needs are met and keep our schools running every day. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. #WeLoveOurESPs — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois borders on one of the largest freshwater sources in the world—and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal strengthens the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to make sure it stays a clean, usable and safe resource for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

How can you focus on carrying out the mission and defending our democracy if you’re worried about whether or not your kid gets dinner tonight? We must end our military's hunger crisis. https://t.co/CSbFU2uzyA — PolitiTweet.org
