Glad to see the Biden Administration continuing our efforts to support our Taiwanese partners with these additional vaccine doses. None of us can be truly safe from COVID-19 until we all are, and I’ll keep working to ensure we do all we can to help end this pandemic worldwide. — PolitiTweet.org

While Halloween is fun AND spooky... COVID-19 is just plain spooky. A reminder to follow local health guidelines so we can make sure everyone can enjoy the holiday safely. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy Halloween! — PolitiTweet.org

By filibustering the Freedom to Vote Act last week, Republicans showed once again that they'd rather tie themselves to the Big Lie than work together to protect and expand the right of every American to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

With SCOTUS set to hear arguments on the Texas abortion law in a few days, let's be perfectly clear: What you do with your reproductive system is your right. — PolitiTweet.org

Three years ago today, we witnessed the deadliest act of anti-semitism in America. In honor of those who lost their lives in the #TreeOfLife shooting, let us continue our work to root out hate, call out white supremacy and end gun violence. May their memories be a blessing. — PolitiTweet.org

99.9% of scientists agree that humans are contributing to climate change. Recent assessments from the White House, our intelligence agencies and the DoD conclude that climate change threatens our national security. How many more warnings do we need? It's time to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When women succeed, the world succeeds. Great to speak with @ForeignPolicy about the ways we can empower women in Afghanistan and why it's so important we have an honest, nonpartisan commission to examine every aspect of the 20 year war & the lessons to be learned. Tune in now! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No parent should have to wonder if they can afford diapers for their child—they are a basic need that every child's health and development relies on.   With my End Diaper Need Act, we can do more to support working families and end this diaper crisis. https://t.co/tJ4WIH4xm7 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Tune in! Tomorrow at 10AM CT/11AM ET, I'll join @ForeignPolicy to talk about how we can empower women and girls around the world—including those in Afghanistan—and the need for my Afghanistan War Commission Act to get an honest accounting of mistakes made over the last 20 years. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m saddened to hear this news. Sending my condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Pontoon Beach Police Officer Tyler Timmins. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/Rt5iB6lbsW — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: Today, during our @SASCDems hearing, I secured greater support for my independent, nonpartisan commission to examine our nation’s 20 years of involvement in Afghanistan. If we fail to learn from our history in Afghanistan, we may be doomed to repeat it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Now, as they resettle here in the US, we must show our gratitude for their sacrifice by welcoming them with open arms. Shame on Trump for never missing an opportunity to stoke hate and fear. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As usual, Trump’s statement is filled with heartless lies. Our Afghan allies and partners did their part for us, risking everything for our country and the American values of freedom and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Any action to roll back Roe v. Wade is just a thinly veiled attempt to rip away women’s economic and personal freedoms while jeopardizing their access to full reproductive care. We won't go back. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week. Once the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is signed into law, which includes my Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act, we can do so much more to help clean up our water. https://t.co/2FW2rZzr7I — PolitiTweet.org

This #WorldPolioDay, we remember: vaccines work. Vaccines have helped reduce polio cases by 99.9% since 1988—giving children around the world a @ShotAtLife. Until we're at 100%, we can't let up our work to end polio once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Bold, long-lasting investments in Home and Community-Based Services, paid leave and child care are not a part of some radical wish list—these are basic needs for a healthy economy that works for working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Vaccines are the best tool we have to beat this pandemic once and for all. Plain and simple.   If you've been waiting to get vaccinated, now is the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Had a great time last night on @TheDailyShow! I was so pleased to speak with Trevor Noah about the need to eliminate the subminimum wage and what we should do to better support workers with disabilities. Everyone deserves dignity and respect in their workplace. https://t.co/CrI1kaRT5f — PolitiTweet.org

When my first child was born, my husband only got ten days off. Ten days, that was it. Our experience isn’t unique. The lack of adequate time to care for newborns is a reality for so many other parents, too. It's time every American receives the paid leave they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

We've known for years how dangerous PFAS “forever chemicals” are to public health, yet firefighting foams with PFAS continue to be used—including most recently at the Sugar Camp mine fire in Southern Illinois.   We must do more to keep communities safe. https://t.co/w7RqsVdcCV — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @MomsRising to make clear what working Americans already know—#CareCantWait! Investments in paid leave, child care and HCBS must be included in our Build Back Better Agenda. Tune in👇 https://t.co/42RPF9LPyt — PolitiTweet.org

One year, 10 months and 21 days. That's how long it took Latinas to earn what their white male counterparts earned for the same work last year. Closing this wage gap should be a no-brainer. Let's make this #LatinaEqualPayDay the last by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Glad to see @SVACDems consider my Veterans Preventive Health Coverage Fairness Act, which would help ensure our Veterans don't pay more for essential healthcare than every other insured American. It’s the right thing to do for those who are willing to sacrifice for our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The U.S. is still the only industrialized nation without a paid leave policy. The time to change that is now. Proud to join @SenateDems today to echo the call that to truly #BuildBackBetter, we need to deliver universal, guaranteed paid leave for all working Americans. https://t.co/JjwYMliWlv — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Completely outrageous. By blocking the Freedom to Vote Act, Republicans essentially told us they don't see Jim Crow 2.0 as an urgent matter. But we know it is. And this isn't over. The right to vote is too important. We won’t stop working to protect everyone's vote. — PolitiTweet.org
