When faced with injustice, Rosa Parks refused to move and ignited a movement. On Rosa Parks Day, we remind ourselves that the path to equality and racial justice is long and winding, but we must never give up—no matter what. https://t.co/3GyvAv1sic — PolitiTweet.org

When it's your turn to get the vaccine—please do. The only way our economy can fully recover, our kids can safely go back to school and everyone can get back on their feet is if we use every tool in the toolkit to fight this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

After four years of Trump officials denying climate change—I am excited to work with leaders who trust the science. If confirmed, @Brenda_Mallory will help us tackle the climate crisis, improve environmental justice and get us back on track to meet this moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For our nation to truly achieve environmental justice for all, we need better data to fully understand what communities have suffered the most by systemic racism. Proud to introduce ground-breaking legislation to do just that with @SenMarkey and @RepCori. https://t.co/dnVFBLH6qR — PolitiTweet.org

Brave patriots have bled, marched and fought for the right to vote. 151 years after the 15th Amendment was ratified, we can help #restorethevote for every American by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary @AliMayorkas’ background and experience make him uniquely qualified to face our nation’s security challenges. I’m eager to begin working with him to protect our nation while reigniting the bright light we’ve long held for those fleeing persecution in search of safety. — PolitiTweet.org

After serving our nation in uniform and leading his local community, Secretary @PeteButtigieg is now answering @POTUS’ call to help rebuild our country. His confirmation is historic, and together we’ll work to create good-paying jobs while prioritizing equity and sustainability. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Anyone willing to risk their lives for our nation should never struggle to put food on the table for their families. I wrote to @POTUS asking him to take swift action where his predecessor failed and address military hunger⬇️ https://t.co/uuHxwXOBd0 — PolitiTweet.org

@PattyMurray Fully agree 🙋🏻‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican Trump tax scam was essentially a giveaway to large corporations, the wealthy and well-connected—all while Illinois families were forced to pick up the tab. It's time to repeal the cap and restore the full state and local tax break now. https://t.co/fc80DXqvbe — PolitiTweet.org

During #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate all the Black Americans who sat down, stood up, marched and fought for racial justice so our nation could be closer to that more perfect Union our founders dreamed of. Black history is American history—this month and every month. https://t.co/vZ87QL1YL1 — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1940, the first Social Security check was put into the pockets of our seniors. And for the first time in four years, we can celebrate this day knowing we have a @POTUS who believes in expanding this benefit rather than tearing it down. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks one year since Mark Frerichs, an Illinoisan and a Veteran of the Navy, was abducted in Kabul. As the Biden administration takes over negotiations in Afghanistan, I urge them to remember Mark. I’ll keep doing all I can to bring him home safely⬇️ https://t.co/0iz4P37MH2 — PolitiTweet.org

On the 12th anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, women—especially women of color—are still fighting for equal pay for equal work. We can change that by passing the #PaycheckFairness Act. — PolitiTweet.org

On January 6th, as the Capitol was under siege by violent insurrectionists, we saw Officer Goodman put his own safety on the line to protect our government.   His quick-thinking very well may have saved lives & his heroic actions that day deserve the Congressional Gold Medal. — PolitiTweet.org

Supporting those who have served is a responsibility I don't take lightly. Earlier this week, I had the chance to speak with @DeptVetAffairs nominee @DenisMcDonough and was encouraged by our frank conversation about the future of the VA. My statement⬇️ https://t.co/TRM4ZN8gW8 — PolitiTweet.org

Too many communities face environmental challenges while too many in power look the other way. If confirmed as @EPA Administrator, I look forward to working together with @Michael_S_Regan to prioritize safe, healthy and livable environments for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When @SenatorDurbin and I called for a special enrollment period months ago, Republicans were more interested in limiting access to healthcare, rather than expanding it. Today's executive order by @POTUS will give millions who deserve health insurance the chance to #GetCovered. — PolitiTweet.org

Over 700,000 Americans who live in D.C.—including 23,000 Veterans—are currently being denied full voting representation in both chambers of Congress despite paying federal taxes.   I support @SenatorCarper's bill that would right this injustice. https://t.co/NCq75JAiuf — PolitiTweet.org
