Tammy Duckworth

There are only 33 people in America who make a billion dollars or more per year. Republicans are ready to explode the deficit, shutter hospitals and rob kids of food— So the top 0.00002% can get a tax cut they don’t need. Read that again.

My bill with @SenDuckworth – the She DRIVES Act – will ensure that women are represented in crash testing, which is a simple, commonsense solution to save thousands of lives and prevent thousands more serious injuries from occurring each year.

For an Administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste... This is one of the dumbest, cruelest and most wasteful things they've ever done.

Typical Trump Administration. Create chaos. Blame the victim. Repeat. These people will point fingers at Mother Theresa before looking in the mirror.

Let’s be clear: this rescissions package isn’t about saving money.

Please, this isn’t about saving money. Republicans just exploded the debt by at least 4 trillion dollars!!! To fund tax cuts for billionaires. Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn’t going to fix that mess. Neither is defunding programs to help starving children.

Millions get their news from NPR and PBS every day. For emergency alerts, disaster updates, the weather and other reliable news. Stations in rural areas, which rely twice as much on federal funding, could close. Defunding this basic service would put millions in the dark.

Don't be fooled. Trump is signing this bill with one hand, but with the other— He's withholding $140 million from scientifically-backed programs that led to the most significant reduction in opioid overdose deaths in our nation’s history.

We just got new numbers on inflation: The price of food is up. The price of household supplies is up. The price of appliances is up. The price of clothing is up. The price of toys is up. Working families can't afford President Trump's policies.

From clothes, appliances and kids' toys, families are shelling out more for the basics. Meanwhile, billionaires are lining up their plans for that next yacht. It's clear who Trump's economic policies are meant to prioritize.

Our military has more important things to do than play immigration judge.   There are actual wars going on.   Instead, Trump is distracting our troops from their core mission of protecting our national security.   I have a bill to stop this abuse. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

We made a promise to our Afghan allies that we'd keep them and their families safe after they fought with and sacrificed for our troops. Today, the Trump Administration officially ended Temporary Protected Status for those heroes. Trump is turning his back on our allies.

“People will die.” “Veterans waiting for care will die.” @SenDuckworth sounds the alarm on @realdonaldtrump’s DOGE cuts to veterans care. She’s already hearing first hand of surgeries being cancelled. 👇

It's unacceptable that the average Black woman has to work 6 months longer just to earn what a white man made last year—doing the same job. On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we’re demanding what’s long overdue: Equal pay for equal work.

"Frankly I don't think you are particularly qualified for this role," Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) says point blank to Trump's pick to be ambassador to Singapore, Anjani Sinha. 😬

President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as ambassador to Singapore, Anjani Sinha, faced tough questioning during a Senate confirmation hearing in which he struggled to answer inquiries from Illinois Democrat Tammy Duckworth about the city-state and its ties to Washington.…

Duckworth: How large was the US trade surplus with Singapore in 2024? Sinha: 18 billion Duckworth: 2.8…Do you support the President’s plan to put a 10% tariff on Singapore? Sinha: I believe in his decision on free trade.. Duckworth: So you would like to have free trade…

Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls out Trump's Ambassador to Singapore for being completely unprepared and clueless.

4 in 10 kids are covered by Medicaid.   That's over 37 million kids that Republicans just threw under the bus so they can fund even more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.
