What could possibly be the reason for turning down more doses of the COVID vaccine? Americans deserve to know and @SenateDems and I are demanding answers. https://t.co/7UWe0NZv9E — PolitiTweet.org

Get the Lead Out of Federally Assisted Housing Act. Get The Lead Out Of Military Housing Act. No Lead Act. I've introduced all three to help ensure all families have access to clean drinking water. It’s past time we held a vote to build on the Safe Drinking Water Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When you send your kid to school or turn your faucet on at home, you shouldn’t have to worry about that water being contaminated or undrinkable. Period. 46 years after the Safe Drinking Water Act, let’s make it clear: Access to clean water is a right, not a privilege. — PolitiTweet.org

Though it’s clear Bill Barr will likely go down as one of the worst AGs in history, there's no telling what Donald Trump will try to get away with over the next few weeks. Until Inauguration Day, we must remain vigilant.   No one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

He acted more like the president's lawyer than the people's lawyer—eroding our democracy, the rule of law and equal justice for all.   For all of these reasons and more, good riddance. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

He defended Trump’s cronies—even after Flynn pled guilty twice. He let unmarked federal agents abduct Americans exercising their First Amendment rights in Portland. He helped Trump sow doubt in our elections by spreading false claims about mail-in voting fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

A few reasons why Bill Barr will not be missed:   He supports the Republican lawsuit to dismantle the ACA.   He stood by while our military was deployed to intimidate peaceful protesters.   He argued "there's no systemic racism in policing" on national TV. — PolitiTweet.org

So incredibly grateful to every researcher, scientist and patriot whose diligence made this possible. We still have a long road ahead of us, but today we have hope. https://t.co/ZGHixH1tnb — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful news! For the first time, a woman will command a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Congratulations, Captain Amy Bauernschmidt 🎉 Women belong in leadership roles across our military—it’s good for our troops, our readiness and our country. https://t.co/ZhBU0mPRqO — PolitiTweet.org

If we don't help them soon, working moms—especially low-income and women of color—will suffer the consequences for decades. Let’s honor JFK’s legacy by passing initiatives like COVID relief and paid family leave so we can start treating women like the superheroes they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The weight of the economic fallout from COVID-19 has fallen onto the shoulders of working moms—moms who are doing their best to hold it together in their homes and at their jobs without childcare, without paid leave and without COVID relief. That's too much to ask of anyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

President JFK made the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women to "combat the outmoded customs that act as barriers to the full realization of women's basic rights.”   But COVID has shown us these barriers are very much alive and well nearly 60 years later. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As a combat Veteran, as a mom, as a citizen, I'm asking Americans to work together and stop our country from becoming a war zone.   Today, I'm reflecting on this op-ed I wrote two years ago. I meant every word then and I do now. Enough. https://t.co/nUER2tSaGB — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Somehow this tragedy wasn't enough for Republicans to take action to fix our nation's gun violence epidemic. Somehow, the countless children that have been gunned down in classrooms since then hasn't been enough, either. This is horrific. We can and must do more to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’ll never forget the shock and anger I felt the day of the Sandy Hook massacre 8 years ago.   20 little ones that never got to grow up.   Brave staff members gunned down in cold blood.   This tragedy should’ve been met with action.   But somehow it wasn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. Misogyny cannot diminish her accomplishments as a teacher, a mother, an advocate for military families and as Second Lady. Her work has inspired women of all ages and I'm confident she'll continue to do so as our First Lady. We're with you. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 Important reminder 🚨 Open enrollment for health insurance ends tomorrow! See if you and your family are qualified for low-cost options at https://t.co/YFvaIQsuwW. #GetCovered — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is more important than ever as our nation faces widespread food insecurity. That's why I worked to ensure @USDA immediately extended all school meal flexibilities and waivers through the 2020-2021 school year. No child should ever go hungry—not during COVID, not ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

To me, hunger is personal.   My family relied on food stamps when I was young. On the 10th anniversary of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act becoming law, it's time we redouble our efforts to ensure every kid can eat nutritious school lunches during COVID and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

By passing this bipartisan NDAA, Democrats and Republicans sent a clear message to President Trump: We have our troops’ backs despite your veto threats. And if you dare, we will override you. https://t.co/xOZOeTNc45 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m also pleased we included @SenWarren’s amendment to help our nation heal and give our Black servicemembers the respect they deserve by removing all Confederate monuments from DoD assets. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Though I don't support everything in this bill, I’m proud that our troops will get a well-deserved pay raise and that a handful of my own provisions were included to support military families, enhance our military’s transportation and invest in emerging regions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Veto-proof. Because the brave men and women in uniform who are deployed across the globe deserve to know that we have their back—and no tweet or blatant attempt to politicize our military by Donald J. Trump is going to change that. https://t.co/YPJpxvuejK — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Restaurants are more than just a place to eat, they’re the glue that holds communities together. With every restaurant that closes every job lost, our communities suffer. We need to pass COVID relief and bring federal aid to the restaurant industry now. https://t.co/LNmkz4Kmi1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Americans always depend on our farmers to grow the food and fuel we need—but that reliance is even more pronounced in times of crisis. It was great to speak with @ILFarmBureau this week to discuss how we can help ensure farmers have the resources they need https://t.co/lqwjhnKNWU — PolitiTweet.org

This year, a bit more than others, #Hanukkah reminds us that light will always overcome darkness. While holidays look different during COVID-19, Chag Sameach to all those celebrating the Festival of Lights. https://t.co/QCTU9B7NPA — PolitiTweet.org
