Two months ago today, I asked @EsperDoD if he is investigating whether any troop casualties in Afghanistan are connected to the alleged Russian bounty program. Nothing but silence so far. Gold Star Families deserve an answer to this question. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump’s own Secretary of State warned Russia’s Foreign Minister: “If the Russians are offering money to kill Americans or, for that matter, other Westerners as well, there will be an enormous price to pay.” But talk is cheap & Pompeo’s threats are hollow. Day 74. — PolitiTweet.org

It shouldn’t have been easier for my unit & me to vote from Iraq in 2004 than it is for Veterans to vote in 2020 on US soil. Donald Trump's attack on vote by mail is a shameless strategy from a man who himself voted by mail weeks ago. This should not be a partisan issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” Time and time again, Trump has shown us who he is with his demeaning, disparaging comments against those brave enough to wear our nation’s uniform. Shame on him. https://t.co/6wgv1ZZI2C — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It shouldn't be this hard.   Donald Trump has gone 73 days without saying anything publicly about #BountyGate.   Those are our men and women on the frontlines. Defending our nation. And Trump would let them die to keep face with Vladimir Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Minimum wage. The right to unionize. FMLA. On Labor Day, we celebrate the labor movement that championed these benefits & more for hardworking Americans. And as #COVID19 rages on, keeping up their cause and expanding protections is as important as ever. https://t.co/i6w6IB8dOe — PolitiTweet.org

72 days have gone by since #BountyGate broke news. 72 days of presidential silence. 72 days of Donald Trump remaining a Coward in Chief. — PolitiTweet.org

"If you are an adult who has a young human in your life, please do not teach them that being scared of someone who doesn't look like them is okay."   Thank you, @melissablake, for speaking up on behalf of the disability community & calling out online hate. https://t.co/rkGI0m9c0a — PolitiTweet.org

Loyalty. Duty. Respect. Selfless service. Integrity. Personal courage. These are the values the Army teaches us on day one of basic training. Has anybody ever seen Donald Trump exhibit these values? No. https://t.co/kWZigctAK6 — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most important things you could do this weekend is take a few minutes and #BeCounted by filling out your Census: https://t.co/mysGJVT7Vo. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For 71 days, Trump has tweeted out MANY of his own personal grievances, but somehow hasn't found time to call out Putin for #BountyGate? Why? Doesn't he care? Don't our troops deserve better? I know they do, so I won't stop pushing for answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When our Black Hawk went down in Iraq, my buddies risked their lives to carry my body to safety—even though they thought I was dead. Because in the US military, NO ONE is left behind. This Coward in Chief doesn’t deserve to be the commander of the world’s greatest military. https://t.co/Pn6jRupKtP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When only 30% of our troops who have experienced sexual assault are actually reporting it, that’s a problem. A big one. If survivors don’t trust the current system in our military enough to report it and get help, it isn’t working. Congress must work to fix it. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

To wear the uniform of this nation is one of the greatest privileges you could ever have. And Donald Trump—someone who doesn't value our Constitution or all the things American stands for—could never understand that. https://t.co/uNQfVVSAyC — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Donald Trump doesn't understand the sacrifice of our military. And he definitely doesn't understand what it means to put something above yourself. Because he does nothing that doesn't benefit Donald Trump. https://t.co/aR8AUgAUeP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

By refusing to expand vote by mail access, Donald Trump is forcing our nation's heroes to choose between their health or their ballot. That’s just about the least presidential, and least American, thing I’ve ever heard. My @StarsAndStripes op-ed: https://t.co/2U5G1mLN67 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While this is great news, we can't forget the many families who welcomed a new baby in 2020. Under the #CARESAct, they still can't file for taxes & receive their $500 until 2021. We need my legislation to fix this & help these families get the relief promised to them NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: If you missed out on receiving your $500 per child payment earlier this year, you may still be able to receive financial assistance! The deadline to apply through the IRS Non-Filers tool ends September 30th. More info here: https://t.co/n1O4Clyh8R — PolitiTweet.org

Day 70: Another day of presidential silence on #BountyGate. And if he remains silent, you better believe I'll be reminding you about it tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

What @realDonaldTrump will never understand is that our Wounded Warriors earned their wounds. They are our badges of honor from our service to the country we love.   If he can’t bear to witness those who have sacrificed for our nation, perhaps he should avert his cowardly eyes. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Vote like everything depends on it—because it does. But don't do it twice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The video of Daniel Prude is clear. After his family called for help, police officers suffocated a Black man in crisis. The Prude family deserved #JusticeForDanielPrude months ago. When Black families call for help, the oath to "protect and serve" must be upheld for them too. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

All over the world, we see countries like Russia exploit extreme weather events to gain control of areas they wouldn't have otherwise. By taking up @SenDemsClimate's #CaseForClimateAction, we can help prevent these malign actions and protect our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For your information, Barr—any unarmed Black American shot by a white police officer is one too many. For our nation's top justice official to suggest otherwise is disgraceful. — PolitiTweet.org

Voting twice is illegal. Voting by mail is safe. Voting in this election is critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As much as Donald Trump must answer for his silence on #BountyGate (69 days and counting), those in the Republican party who enable him will also need to answer for their inaction. — PolitiTweet.org

You know what's "playing with fire?" Peddling Donald Trump's lies to help him cheat the election. — PolitiTweet.org
