UPDATE: The ASAP Act to make public transit more accessible was added to the INVEST in America Act in the House. We are heading in the right direction, folks! We won’t truly be building back better if the disability community is left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

It's a disgrace that the Senate failed to move the Paycheck Fairness Act forward. I refuse to let my daughters grow up in a world where they're paid less for the same work done by men. On the anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, we won't stop working to end the gender wage gap. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm so proud of the Illinoisans who helped get us to this point. But we’re not at the finish line yet—vax up! We're all in this together. — PolitiTweet.org

To build back better, small businesses need us to increase access to capital and support proven programs like the Small Business Investment Company system. Last Congress, I helped introduce a bill to provide more resources to SBICs. We must do more. https://t.co/zpFXaXo16j — PolitiTweet.org

When Americans constantly wake up to headlines of mass shootings and our nation is one of the leading countries of gun violence deaths worldwide—every month is Gun Violence Awareness Month. The Senate must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine the water in your home being so dangerous, it could give your kids permanent brain damage. Too many don't need to imagine it—they're living it. Let's get my Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act to the President's desk to help secure clean water for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake—we'll continue to see the number of voter suppression bills in our states climb unless Congress acts. We can't sit idly by as the sacred right to vote is stripped from Black and Brown voters across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

15,000+ wheelchairs broken by airlines means thousands of lives robbed of their mobility, independence and dignity. We deserve the same respect and care as every other traveler. This cannot be the norm. https://t.co/KfEIfKrPaQ — PolitiTweet.org

The free world we live in today might not have existed without the brave troops who stormed Normandy's beaches on D-Day 77 years ago. We will never forget their heroism and sacrifices. https://t.co/mGOH9UEKka — PolitiTweet.org

Preserving our planet for future generations isn't enough. We can and must do more.   On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we cannot forget to prioritize environmental justice so we can help ensure that all of today's children can grow up in a safe, sustainable world. — PolitiTweet.org

Hadiya Pendleton was 15 when she was shot dead in Chicago. We wear orange to honor her and all lives lost to gun violence. To honor Black and Brown families who suffer disproportionately. To honor students who don't feel safe in their classroom. We must act. https://t.co/qEE5U0WSgq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Hadiya Pendleton should be turning 24 tomorrow. But like too many, her life was tragically cut short by gun violence. @SenatorDurbin, @RepRobinKelly and I are calling for June 4 as National Gun Violence Awareness Day. I encourage all to wear orange to honor those we've lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

100 days from now, we'll mark 20 years since 9/11.   As the Admin looks to bring our troops home from Afghanistan, we must secure the safe return of Mark Frerichs—an Illinoisan and Veteran who was abducted in 2020. Let’s #BringMarkHome. — PolitiTweet.org

Immigrants built this country—from laying the railroads from sea to shining sea, to starting businesses to defending our nation. This Immigrant Heritage Month, let's embrace each other's stories and call out discrimination when we see it. Our diversity is our greatest strength. — PolitiTweet.org

100 years ago, white supremacists killed hundreds of thriving Black business owners and their families in Tulsa. And too many Americans never learned about it in history books. It's past time to break this cycle and bring Greenwood's full story to light. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #Pride! A reminder to all that this month—and every month—we can choose love and acceptance over homophobia, transphobia, bigotry and hate. — PolitiTweet.org

80 years ago, Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers introduced the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps Act, paving the way for women to serve our country in uniform. @JerryMoran, @RepKClark & I introduced a resolution to honor the legacy of Rogers & the WAAC https://t.co/39FlDXciny https://t.co/nNvJVeuBMN — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to have secured several provisions in this bill to help address some of the most pressing challenges facing transportation systems in Illinois and across the country, including chronic highway congestion and declining airport infrastructure. https://t.co/h1by4lE9LI — PolitiTweet.org

Memorial Day is a somber reminder that wars are not fought by faceless, nameless troops. They are fought by our neighbors, friends and loved ones. May we never stop working to repay those who never made it home and the families who have suffered this unimaginable loss. — PolitiTweet.org

To Democrats, working families come first. That's what President Biden's budget proposal outlines. Because we know when working families have what they need to succeed, our nation thrives. — PolitiTweet.org
