Tammy Duckworth

I will never stop working to protect our Veterans and military families.

There is no higher betrayal to our heroes than to have one of their family members deported by the same nation they sacrificed to defend.

I am so incredibly grateful for Deisy’s release and for her to be reunited with her family.

We got three Republicans to vote in favor of our last War Powers Resolution—the closest we’ve come to ending Trump’s illegal war in Iran—because Republicans are finally starting to realize how costly and disastrous this conflict is.

After 80 long days of chaos and rising costs, it’s about time enough Republicans came to their senses and helped us advance this basic effort to rein in this President’s illegal war.

This funding, which was made possible by my Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed into law by President Biden, will help improve the safety of our drinking water in Illinois.

And what we can do, those of us who survive, is to continue that commitment to our democracy.

But they will benefit, and their children and grandchildren will benefit from your sacrifice.

And when you lay down your life in that process, you are laying down your life for people who will never know your name, never know to thank you, never know that you did this.

Because when you serve this nation, you’re stepping forward to defend our Constitution and our freedoms for the entire nation.

This weekend is a somber reminder for our entire nation. Memorial Day is a day to remember all those who answered the call not for themselves, not for their family members, but for democracy.

A stunning failure of leadership

A willingness to gamble the American people's security

Such inaction violates Federal law, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance and DHS's own directives

Allowing a potentially catastrophic security deficiency to remain in place for seven months and counting betrays TSA's mission

Outrageous, unacceptable and dangerous to the flying public

Without meaningful consultation with TSA

War is not a f------ video game. Six Americans are dead and thousands more are at needless risk because of your illegal, unjustified war. And you're calling this a flawless victory.

If society can agree that alcohol, tobacco and drugs should be kept at least 1,000 feet away from our schools, surely we can agree that tear gas—a chemical weapon which causes burning, pain, skin inflammation and respiratory distress—and…

We demand you pressure your colleague, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, to reinstate restrictions on Federal immigration enforcement operations in and around places of education.

Federal agents continue to use unwarranted, excessive levels of force around Chicago, demonstrating an alarming lack of care or regard for the health and wellbeing of children, particularly by conducting unfocused, inflammatory operations…

My heart breaks for Darren and Cindy Bailey as they face such an unimaginable loss. No parent should ever have to bury their own child.

I believe they're going to be Illinois national guardsmen, so they're not going to be coming from out of state. I spoke to our governor yesterday, and it looks like it's going to be about 300 Illinois guardsmen who will be activated…

Resign in disgrace immediately.

It's the exact message that he wants to send, which is you're not welcome here. They've been trying to basically push out any diversity in our military, which actually makes our military less capable, less ready to defend Americans.
