Proud to announce @IDOT_Illinois will receive more than $5 million to improve rail speed and reliability in southern Illinois. This critical funding to improve the Lenox Interlocking System will reduce delays and bring local jobs to Madison County. duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

4 years ago today the Clay Hunt SAV Act I helped write to reduce Veteran suicide became law. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made, but we must do more. I will continue fighting on behalf of Veterans to provide them with the care they deserve.

I’m proud to join @SenatorMenendez and @SenatorDurbin in introducing legislation to fully restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction and protect middle class families from the #GOPTaxScam.

With tax-filing season underway, hardworking Illinoisans are being double-taxed because of the tax law the GOP jammed through Congress to give billionaires a handout they didn’t need. duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

Good. I’ve been working on this issue and remain deeply troubled by the Trump Admin’s contempt for gov’t transparency. Swampy influence peddling erodes trust in the @DeptVetAffairs and worse, interferes with the critical mission of caring for our Veterans. duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel… twitter.com/wsj/status/109…

I strongly support the Chicago teachers who are participating in the #CICSStrike. Educators and teachers must be given the resources they need to help our students succeed. CICS must bargain in good faith on fair wages and educational justice for students.

My deepest sympathies to @RepMikeQuigley and his family on the passing of Bill Quigley. He sounds like he was a great man who proudly served his country and gave back to his community chicagotribune.com/news/local/pol…. twitter.com/RepMikeQuigley…

It is irresponsible to exempt Supreme Court justices from the Code of Conduct that every other federal judge must abide by. In order to preserve the integrity of the justice system, we must hold justices to the same standard of ethics. duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

My Veterans Small Business Enhancement Act allows Veteran #SmallBiz owners to acquire equipment&property the fed gov't has no use for free of charge, w/the recipient only covering shipping&related nominal costs. To Vets who own or are looking to start businesses, this is for you. twitter.com/ConnectingVets…

That's why I’m proud to join @SenatorTester, Senator @lisamurkowski and Rep. @chelliepingree in co-sponsoring the Servicemember and Veterans’ Empowerment and Support Act to improve resources and care for survivors of military sexual trauma. duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

No one should ever have to experience sexual trauma, especially our brave men and women in uniform. We must make reporting and seeking care for military sexual assault easier, and we owe it to survivors of military sexual trauma to give them the support they need and deserve.

Very sad news. @JohnDingell always sped by me in his scooter calling “keep up Tammy,” racing for the elevator to go cast our votes. I never won & always marveled at this great public servant who was also my arch nemesis in the wheelchair elevator wars buzzfeednews.com/article/sarahm…

But rather than addressing these causes head on, the Trump Administration is slashing the budgets of many agencies that could both help address the root causes and increase security for our servicemembers overseas.

At today’s Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing, our military leaders made it clear to me that the one root cause of many of the security challenges they face in South America and Africa is poverty & hunger—things that cause people to search for a better life.

@SenatorDurbin and I are calling on @DeptVetAffairs, @CDCgov and @EPA to participate in the Illinois Legionnaires’ Task Force to assist in investigating this potential Legionella-linked death and address this public health issue. duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
