To honor the lives lost and ensure this chapter of our history is never forgotten, I'm proud I reintroduced legislation earlier this week to finally designate this site as a national monument and preserve its history for generations to come. Let's make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In reaction to this horrific tragedy, activists hungry for justice came together and set out to form the NAACP to help the community rebuild and restore what was lost.   And ever since, they've been instrumental in pushing our nation toward that more perfect Union for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

On days like today, I reflect on the Springfield Race Riots. In 1908, a mob of white residents torched Black homes and businesses—murdering at least 6.   Their intent was clear: Springfield may be the home of Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, but Black Americans were not welcome. https://t.co/Z25CRzgADz — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @NAACP!   For 114 years, the NAACP has remained a guiding light and leading defender in civil rights, racial justice and equality for all—regardless of skin color, zip code or income. And did you know their roots began in Illinois? 👀 — PolitiTweet.org

And I won't stop pushing. Let's break the cycle of inaction when these heartbreaking tragedies repeat themselves. https://t.co/dy6YpWZui3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I am proud to work beside a leader like @SenatorDurbin on the bipartisan Dream Act. This bill would protect young people across America from being forced out of the only home they've ever known. Let’s not fail them. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There are people still waiting to hear from @SouthwestAir after falling victim to their holiday meltdown—and it's been *more than a month.*​​​​​​​ Make no mistake: yesterday's hearing was only the beginning of our work to hold Southwest fully accountable. https://t.co/BQffR9LUhG — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Southwest Airlines' holiday meltdown was appalling. We must crack down on carriers that have got away with predatory practices that treat customers like suckers and view passengers with disabilities as disposable. Proud to help do this as Chair of the Aviation Subcommittee. https://t.co/IuntYW7Suh — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 BIG NEWS: After learning that Big Oil made record-breaking profits last year while working families struggled to afford sky-high prices at the pump, I’m officially reintroducing the Gas Price Gouging Prevention Act to help put an end to this corporate greed for good. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's long, long past time we make trusted and affordable childcare more accessible.   Proud to help introduce bipartisan legislation to finally get this done for working families. https://t.co/KeaD3TFIdG — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No civilian needs a high-capacity magazine. Period. Proud to join my colleagues in reintroducing the Keep Americans Safe Act so we can finally ban weapons of war for good. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It shouldn't take another 30 years to finally provide our kids' school nurses, bus drivers and other school staff with the FMLA benefits they rightfully deserve. This can't wait. We must act now on my legislation to modernize our nation's leave system. https://t.co/kRLkjbQCcT — PolitiTweet.org

“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.” If Social Security and Medicare really aren't on the table... you might want to remove it from your campaign website, GOP. Just a thought! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm so proud I'll be leading the Aviation Subcommittee of @commercedems this Congress. From airline safety to workforce development, and to bringing more support to our airports, there's so much important work to be done. https://t.co/0egSpNv3BC — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations Major General Boyd! Here’s to generations of future Illinois National Guardsman looking up to your hard work and this moment in Black history. https://t.co/UKgV6umMnN — PolitiTweet.org

Apparently, Republicans think the following are not worth cheering for: —Democracy —Record job growth —Lowest unemployment in decades —Capping insulin costs for all —Expanding healthcare for Veterans —Ensuring billionaires pay their fair share —Banning assault weapons Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Agreed @POTUS. Let’s keep building an economy that works for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I share President Biden’s hope that Republicans will put aside partisan fighting, come to the negotiating table and make working families—not wealthy donors—the top priority so we can improve the lives of everyday Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We also know we need to address police and criminal justice reform, make quality child care more affordable, enact paid leave, keep pushing prices down and much, much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While we’ve made great progress, the President and I know that we can’t let up now. Women’s health is on the line as Republicans work to enact a nationwide abortion ban and limit access to reproductive care—but Democrats are working to enshrine the protections of Roe into law. — PolitiTweet.org

How exciting that @FLOTUS is bringing a fellow Illinoisan to today’s State of the Union. Just like Kate, high school students across the nation are America’s future, and they all deserve the job training needed for successful careers once they graduate. https://t.co/QvNhGmFcbX — PolitiTweet.org
