With these executive orders, President Biden is putting women's rights and equity high on the priority list for his entire administration. This is a long overdue step to empower women at every level.   Because when women succeed, America succeeds 💪 — PolitiTweet.org

And that’s not all! I’m proud to have helped secure millions in funding in the American Rescue Plan to help families most in need have access to emergency supplies — including diapers. https://t.co/jcsInpdOHN — PolitiTweet.org

As someone who grew up on food stamps and reduced-price meals, hunger has always been personal to me. Proud to have worked with @SenatorDurbin on a provision in the American Rescue Plan to help families safely purchase groceries online during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The American Rescue Plan would ALSO help address our nation’s growing maternal mortality crisis. @SenatorDurbin and I worked hard to secure a provision based off our MOMMA’s Act to allow new moms to keep their health coverage for a FULL YEAR after they give birth. — PolitiTweet.org

I've spent my entire life in male-dominated fields — first in the military, now in Congress. And this International Women's Day, allow me to share what I've learned. You don't need to be "one of the guys." You are strong, brave and destined to lead. Own it. — PolitiTweet.org

Eight years ago, President Obama and then-VP Biden — the author of the Violence Against Women Act — championed the reauthorization of VAWA. Now with Joe Biden as @POTUS, it's time we expand VAWA to the fullest extent to protect victims and survivors of domestic violence. https://t.co/92WI1uJNT8 — PolitiTweet.org

Their cause endures. In the wake of the 2020 election, Republicans across the country have unveiled more than 200 voter suppression bills. It's on all of us to work together to end voter suppression and #restorethevote. Let's start by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act now. https://t.co/jX9oyRYAbJ — PolitiTweet.org

Every year, Bloody Sunday is a reminder of the blood spilled, the bones broken and the price paid by John Lewis and other patriots on the Edmund Pettis Bridge to ensure every American — regardless of their race — could vote in our democracy. https://t.co/sikBHpmBpd — PolitiTweet.org

Fact: 76% of Americans, including 60% of Republicans, support the American Rescue Plan. Fact: Not 1 Republican Senator voted for the bill. Fact: Democrats just approved: 👉$1,400 direct payments 👉Extended UI benefits 👉Rental assistance 👉Quicker vaccine distribution — PolitiTweet.org

One all-nighter is nothing compared to the sleepless nights Americans have spent worrying about bills, rent and their families.   @SenateDems will keep working until the American Rescue Plan is passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Communities of color are in most need of COVID relief — whether it's a minority-owned small business or a hard-hit community that needs greater access to vaccines.   Any vote against the American Rescue Plan is a vote against equitable care and support. — PolitiTweet.org

Shots in arms. That's what's going to get us to the other side of this pandemic. By passing the American Rescue Plan, $20 billion would be invested in a national COVID-19 vaccination program so our neighbors and family can finally receive the vaccine against this deadly virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Essential workers are heroes — and we should treat them as such. The American Rescue Plan devotes $10 billion to procure PPE and other equipment for frontline workers so they can show up for work more confident that their livelihoods won't cost them their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

2020 was full of impossible days, too many goodbyes and constant worries. @SenateDems are working hard to pass the American Rescue Plan so we can get closer to putting this awful pandemic — one that has taken the lives of far too many Americans — behind us. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For decades, administrations of both parties have kept outdated war authorities—like the '91 and '02 AUMFs—on the books to justify military action without Congress. Glad to see @POTUS is open to the idea of having an honest reckoning about war powers. https://t.co/orp2aw7V1v — PolitiTweet.org

I still get asked “Where are you from, originally?” even though my ancestors were here since before the Revolution.   Just stop. https://t.co/BmL9iv48fR — PolitiTweet.org

In 1933, Frances Perkins was the first woman appointed to a cabinet position in America. She served as Labor Secretary and was an integral part of getting the Social Security Act signed into law. We owe it to her to protect social security and keep our promise to all seniors. https://t.co/YaLLJNEq6U — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be forced to live with a public health crisis in their backyard, no matter their zip code, color of their skin or income.   I’m working to bring assistance to Cahokia Heights to help address these ongoing issues, and I’ll keep doing what I can to help. — PolitiTweet.org

Access to clean water is a right. Period. As Chair of the @EPWCmte Subcommittee on Fisheries, Water & Wildlife, I’m ready to tackle the threat contaminated of water — a public health crisis across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

More testing that’s simple, quick and effective is critical for helping us get through this pandemic. I'm so pleased @US_FDA approved @Illinois_Alma‘s saliva-based test, a leap forward in COVID-19 testing technology. — PolitiTweet.org

Our troops and Gold Star families have waited long enough. If Trump truly did nothing while Vladimir Putin placed bounties on the heads of our servicemembers, they deserve to know. https://t.co/FfflfxSkBo — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary @GinaRaimondo has the problem-solving approach we need to lead the Commerce Department. She is committed to boosting investments in underserved communities, and I am confident she will immediately be a strong voice for our struggling small business community. — PolitiTweet.org
