When I was in Iraq in 2004, I voted by mail. So I can assure you it is very safe and secure. If I can vote by mail from a warzone, you can certainly vote by mail from anywhere in the United States. Don't delay—in IL, there are 25 days to request a mail-in ballot. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Keeping our workers safe helps keep our families & communities safe too. I joined @SenSherrodBrown & @SenatorBaldwin to call on the Department of Labor to ensure all employers are taking the necessary precautions to keep their employees safe from #COVID19 https://t.co/Zw1wEjhGdL — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's been 100 days since it was first reported that Russia offered bounties for the killing of our troops—and Donald Trump's silence is enough to know he's unfit to be Commander in Chief. My @SenateDems' colleagues & I are outraged. Are you? https://t.co/6GMbIhERVH — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Why is a man with #COVID19 meeting with ANYONE rn? Why force @SecretService into a small space to do it? This isn't leadership—it's irresponsible & it could have deadly consequences. How many more lives does he need to put at risk before he takes this virus seriously? — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump's negligence is catching up with him. Trump was sick. No one told anyone he interacted with. He kept his schedule as planned. He didn't wear a mask—and he could've infected hundreds of people. From day one, we deserved the truth & all we got was a deadly cover-up. — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke with TSA Administrator @TSA_Pekoske this week to receive an update on how TSA is protecting its workforce and the traveling public against COVID-19 exposure. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When I learned that Donald Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court nominee was supportive of a group that believes IVF is equivalent to manslaughter—my heart sank. Without IVF, my two little girls would not exist. https://t.co/w9Xr4VGdyo — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Some Republicans have said they want to join Democrats to help the airlines protect our transportation workforce. It’s time Mitch McConnell stops playing politics and holds a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

New fiscal year, same problem: Mitch McConnell refuses to let the Senate vote on the #HEROESAct, which the House passed 4 months ago. And because of that, protections for our aviation workforce have run out. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Want to make your voice heard by decision makers in IL and Washington, DC? Voting is the answer. And one way to do it is by requesting a mail-in ballot. You still have 28 days so head over to https://t.co/gnmBVNVO8X for more info. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Bryan and I wish @realDonaldTrump, @FLOTUS and all Americans who are suffering from COVID-19 a swift and full recovery from this devastating disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

To all my Republican colleagues who met my Maile that historic day—I urge you to look within your souls. Look within & consider whether someone who supports those beliefs is capable of serving as an impartial justice for ALL Americans on the highest court in the land. For life. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

How could you vote for a nominee who supports those who believe that my doctor should be in prison? That moms like me who've been blessed with children through IVF shouldn't be criminalized *only* "at this point?” That these families are worth "less" than others? — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

An open message to my Republican colleagues: You stood up. You applauded. You cuddled my beautiful daughter when she became the first infant on the Senate floor. So now I ask—how could you support a Supreme Court nominee who supports those who believe Maile shouldn't exist? — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The ADA was supposed to consign workplace discrimination to history books. But if the latest Republican COVID-19 proposal is any indication, it's still very much at risk. This #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth, let's be clear: Americans with disabilities won't be left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In the words of RBG, "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made." Women deserve a voice AND a seat at the table. As co-chair of @ChiFdn4Women 2020 Virtual Girls Summit, I can't wait for this year's event aimed at helping empower young women. Let's do this! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While I'm glad Congress avoided a government shutdown, Americans need so much more. But instead of coming to the table to pass COVID-19 relief, Republicans would rather jam through their power-grab for a Supreme Court seat that will help overturn the ACA. My statement: https://t.co/GUuJpH3QgV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Those who have answered the call to serve deserve so much better than a Commander in Chief who only serves his own interests. 97 days of presidential silence on #BountyGate sickens me to the core. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Chicagoans—early voting has begun! Make your plan & vote early because this one is just too important to sit out. You can vote in person if you feel safe or by mail. You have 29 days left to request a mail-in ballot. Visit https://t.co/gnmBVNVO8X to participate in our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

During #COVID19, Head Start programs are a lifeline for families—helping parents and kids access the child care and education they need and deserve. @lisamurkowski & I are requesting funding in the next relief bill so this lifeline remains strong: https://t.co/ZkMoCG19i3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I introduced this bill to help make sure that federal and state correctional agencies appropriately prioritize the health and safety of incarcerated individuals and staff during major disasters. https://t.co/mV67L0hTCV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

One of the many injustices exposed by this deadly pandemic is that incarcerated individuals are particularly vulnerable during major disasters. https://t.co/njpkSnZlly — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Each day the Commander in Chief remains silent on #BountyGate is an insult to the troops serving our nation. It's been 96 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Healthcare. Women's rights. Labor rights. Disability rights. Voting rights. Climate action. Everything is on the ballot this year. In IL, there are 30 days left to request a mail-in ballot. Head to https://t.co/gnmBVNVO8X to get yours. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For 121 years, @VFWHQ has worked tirelessly to make sure Veterans have access to the benefits they've rightfully earned. It was nice to speak with VFW Illinois's Jay Hoffman today & I look forward to continuing our work together to support Veterans. https://t.co/3qVqP0zVCm — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Where is Donald Trump's respect for the men and women in uniform who are bravely serving our nation? And why hasn't his administration started an investigation into reports that Russia put bounties on their heads? Our troops deserve better than 95 days of silence on #BountyGate. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Congratulations, @RepUnderwood! In this new leadership position, Rep. Underwood is sure to bring a valuable Illinois perspective to critical national security issues. Looking forward to seeing all the good you'll do to keep Illinoisans and Americans across the country safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Over the next few years, Donald Trump could be on the hook for hundreds of millions in debt. Any other government worker would be flat-out denied security clearance out of fear they'd be vulnerable to blackmail and bribes. The Commander in Chief is a walking liability. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We're starting to understand exactly why Donald Trump so desperately didn't want us to see his tax returns—in the past 20 years, everyday Americans have paid more in federal income taxes than the "billionaire" in the White House. Trump is a con artist who has betrayed our trust. — PolitiTweet.org
