On the anniversary of the Wounded Warriors Act being signed into law, I'm thinking of all the brave patriots who have sacrificed so much for this nation. In every way we can, we must continue to honor their service. — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS has taken important steps to increase our nation’s vaccine supply and make it available to more Americans by the end of summer. So let's be patient, wear a mask and social distance—help is on the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

With @SenatorCarper and @SenBooker, I launched the first-ever Environmental Justice Caucus in the Senate because no child should grow up without clean air and safe water. With a plan like @POTUS's, we’re one step closer to making that a reality. https://t.co/9KIdEjp7P8 — PolitiTweet.org

We have a moral responsibility to ensure every American learns this painful chapter in our world's history. It's the only way we can ensure #NeverAgain truly means never again. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Attention Illinoisans—@GovPritzker launched a new site, where you can find the answers to your COVID-19-related questions, including when and where to get vaccinated and more. Check it out today⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois has banned all private prisons since 1990. I’m glad @POTUS is now taking action to ban them nationwide. https://t.co/hfPIFrxQZy — PolitiTweet.org

76 years after the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, #WeRemember the six million lives that were lost to the horrors of the Holocaust. With anti-Semitism rising across the globe, we must forcefully reject it and say: Never again. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @CBSNews: .@SenDuckworth speaks about how the Capitol still has broken glass and boarded up windows from the Jan. 6 riot, while 45 GOP s… — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Fact: Donald Trump incited violence against our Capitol. If my Republican colleagues need additional convincing, they’re welcome to come see the broken glass that’s *still* on my office’s floor. https://t.co/L5GDMsA1Lb — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We know that COVID-19 strikes without regard to the color of a person’s skin or the language they speak. By addressing the racist attacks Asian Americans have endured during this pandemic, @POTUS is helping our community, and nation, heal. https://t.co/F7us1amCD6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

At the first opportunity, President Biden called out Putin for reportedly putting bounties on the heads of our brave servicemembers in Afghanistan. Because that's what our troops deserve and should expect from their Commander in Chief. https://t.co/mMVxCwIVXM — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We must end the outdated and exploitative subminimum wage, which sends a message to the disability community that their work isn’t as valuable as the work done by non-disabled people. That’s one reason why I support @POTUS’ new COVID relief proposal. https://t.co/gHklqQo3Py — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

There’s so much work to do to repair critical relationships with our allies, stand up to our adversaries and restore America’s global leadership. @ABlinken is an experienced, crisis-tested leader who will be an excellent Secretary of State, and I was proud to vote to confirm him. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Leading by example in the Biden @WhiteHouse. Accessibility matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I am pleased @POTUS took my rec to designate Mr. Gallegos of Chicago as Chairman of @NatCounDis. This appointment sends a clear message that he values the voices of people with disabilities and, together, we can help ensure the dream and vision of the ADA are realized. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As President of the United States, Donald Trump fomented an insurrection and incited violence against our nation's Capitol. Accountability is critical as we seek to heal and unite. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Secretary @JanetYellen is a uniquely-qualified, crisis-tested leader whose expertise will be essential as @POTUS takes on the economic challenges facing our country. I am confident she will be an effective advocate in helping us build back a better economy for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If you are willing to sacrifice for our country and can do the job, you should have that opportunity—no matter your gender identity or sexual orientation.    Thank you, @POTUS 🏳️‍⚧️ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

8 years ago today, President Obama's DoD rescinded the ridiculous exclusion of women in combat. Because, *of course* America’s daughters can defend her in combat as well as her sons. This country we love is better served & our military is stronger because of its diversity. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

With a plan like @POTUS’s, we can save lives and make significant strides to reach the end of this pandemic. But it's on all of us to finish the job—watch your distance, wear a mask and get the vaccine when it's available to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every American should be alarmed by the disproportionate participation of Veterans in the insurrection. We must eliminate extremism from every rank in our military and find out what led these people to betray the oath they once swore their life to defend. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Earlier this week, I had the profound honor of meeting the brave Illinoisan National Guard troops who answered the call and came to DC to protect our Capitol. What happened to our nation's Guardsmen last night should never have happened. I'll never stop fighting for them. https://t.co/LpleUaVZ6U — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@GinaRaimondo will bring a problem-solving approach and an experienced background to the critically important positive of @CommerceGov Secretary. I enjoyed speaking with her today about ways we can work together, and she should be swiftly confirmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

National Guardsmen have been working nonstop to keep us safe on the frontlines of this pandemic. After being repeatedly ignored by Trump, I'm so glad @POTUS took me up on my request to fully cover their deployment costs on his first full day in office. https://t.co/1nwdJeA6c3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@PeteButtigieg served in uniform, led his community and now is ready to rebuild our country as @POTUS's Secretary of @USDOT. I strongly urge the Senate to swiftly confirm his nomination so he can get to work and invest in every corner of Illinois and our entire nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Nearly 50 years after #RoevWade, the right to choose is still under relentless attack. We won’t go back. Now and always: her body, her choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Secretary @LloydAustin is a crisis-tested leader who executed one of the most complex logistical operations in the history of the Army. His confirmation is yet another historic step in his barrier-breaking career, and I look forward to working with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I wrote letters, drafted legislation, made calls—Trump’s OSHA didn’t lift a finger to help protect American workers against COVID. It’s so refreshing to finally have a president who doesn’t think twice about workers’ safety. Thank you, Mr. President. https://t.co/rkzxSh9wOL — PolitiTweet.org

Update: Troops are now all out of the garage. Now I can go to bed. — PolitiTweet.org
