🚨Earlier this year, @RepSpeier and I introduced bills to expand parental leave and child care access for our military families. Now, we're leading a bipartisan group of 30+ colleagues to urge @SASCDems and @HASCDemocrats to include these lifelines in the final FY22 NDAA. — PolitiTweet.org

While Republicans root for higher prices that are hurting so many working families, Democrats are working to: 💊Lower costs of prescription drugs and put money back in Americans’ pockets 🤱🏻Provide affordable child care 👷🏽‍♂️Create good-paying jobs The values couldn’t be clearer. — PolitiTweet.org

Good-paying jobs, safer drinking water, accessible transit stations and infrastructure built to last—signed into law! Once again, Democrats deliver for working Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to be at the White House to watch @POTUS sign the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal into law to rebuild our roads and bridges, cut commuting times, create good paying jobs, deliver clean drinking water and improve lives. This is a big deal and Democrats got it done! https://t.co/xJvpLvIOfS — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, President Biden will sign into law a significant, historic package that will build better roads, deliver cleaner water, help ensure transit is more accessible and more. Who's ready?🙋🏻‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Long before this land was "discovered," it was home to millions of Native Americans. This Native American Heritage Month, let's take time to reflect on the many mistakes our nation made and work towards empowering the vibrant indigenous communities across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

The relentless campaign to rip away a woman’s right to choose is not unique to Texas—it's happening nationwide. It's time to codify Roe v. Wade. — PolitiTweet.org

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I'm thankful that the Pfizer vaccine is now approved for kids ages 5+. It's our best chance to protect our children and get to the other side of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Across the country, Republican legislatures are proving that they'd rather suppress your vote than earn it.   And by blocking voting rights, Senate Republicans are perpetuating a new era of Jim Crow.   Democrats will keep working so every voice is heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Because to me, true patriotism will always be how we honor the sacrifices those in uniform have made for the rest of us. Not just on Veterans Day, but every other day of the year, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

So while I can’t fly combat missions anymore or help drag Soldiers from a burning Blackhawk if the worst should strike again, I can use my current role—serving no longer from the cockpit but the Senate—to ensure our Armed Forces are the strongest they can be. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My buddies thought I was dead—I was quite literally in pieces. They risked their own lives to bring my body back to my family. From the moment I woke up in Walter Reed 11 days later, I vowed to find a way to repay them as well as all those who sacrifice so much for our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When that RPG tore through the cockpit of the helicopter I was co-piloting, it took my legs, partial use of my right arm and nearly my life. I wouldn’t have lasted the hour if it weren’t for my buddies who refused to leave me behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today is my Alive Day, the 17th anniversary of the day I probably should’ve died in a dusty field in Iraq after our Blackhawk was shot out of the sky—but didn’t. https://t.co/AAvhfX9Lf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Thank you @PritzkerLibrary for this Founder’s Award. I've witnessed the courage of our troops firsthand—in fact, I’m only alive today because of it—and I'll never stop working to do right by those who have done so much for the rest of us. https://t.co/dDScUtay5H — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The truth is that we can all do more to honor our Veterans when they get home. They deserve to be honored not just today, but all 365 days of the year. I’m so pleased that Lake County has this permanent reminder here, every day, of our Veterans’ sacrifices and heroism. https://t.co/Z90SeJeho4 — PolitiTweet.org

Time after time, those who serve in our military redefine bravery. It was a pleasure to help @PBS shine a light on their experiences and sacrifices in this episode of the American Veteran series. You can watch the full episode below. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

By working with @HUDgov and @DeptVetAffairs to help Veterans become homeowners, @ChicagoHabitat is working to eliminate Veteran homelessness. Because we are all dishonored when any Veteran is forced lay their head down to sleep on the same streets they defended. https://t.co/W7vwRNWt97 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For centuries, our nation's Veterans have never failed to put country over self. They redefine bravery time after time—tour after tour. On #VeteransDay and always, I hope you'll join me in continuing our efforts to do right by those who have sacrificed so much for the rest of us. https://t.co/EmNneye81t — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For the past 246 years, the U.S. Marines have bravely served our country with honor, courage and commitment. We owe them all a debt of gratitude for their service to our nation. Happy birthday, @USMC—Semper Fi! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Democrats’ expanded #ChildTaxCredit is making a real difference—putting money in the pockets of working families and lifting millions of children out of poverty. Nov. 15 is the deadline to apply to receive the CTC. Visit https://t.co/SuMKHdgri1 to see if you’re eligible. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Three decades after the ADA was signed into law, we’re *finally* helping ensure our nation's transit stations are accessible for every passenger thanks to my ASAP Act being included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. https://t.co/zaXcwswOC5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Clean water is a right. My Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will help us get to work removing the lead pipes that still run through over 10 million homes so we can finally start cleaning up our water. — PolitiTweet.org

Ensuring widespread vaccinations is not only good for our public health, but also key to building back a better, more resilient economy. Great to see @SecRaimondo in Chicago today to mark this important milestone in our nation's recovery efforts! — PolitiTweet.org
