🚨UPDATE🚨   The @USGAO officially confirmed that in response to my request, the congressional watchdog will conduct an independent review of the effectiveness of @USArmy’s SHARP program. We must do better to support survivors of sexual harassment and assault in our military. — PolitiTweet.org

At 14 years old, Emmett Till was abducted, beaten & lynched by white supremacists—only 65 yrs ago. There are still sitting U.S. Senators who don’t think lynching should be a federal crime. We must uproot the systemic racism that killed Emmett & kills Black Americans every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Let them try to tell us that Donald Trump isn't corrupt—that he isn't using taxpayer dollars to enrich himself. We have the receipts. — PolitiTweet.org

Outrageous. Donald Trump & Rs grossly mishandled this pandemic. Millions have lost their jobs. Food insecurity has skyrocketed. Now, the Admin wants to make it harder for schools to give healthy meals to kids and families who need it most. @USDA must reverse this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

American troops everywhere have waited 62 days for Donald Trump to publicly condemn Vladimir Putin for reportedly offering cash for their deaths. It breaks my heart that their Commander in Chief is this callous. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Because Donald Trump recklessly abandoned our allies in Syria, an emboldened Putin has been gradually encroaching on the territory we once held and filling the power vacuum we are leaving behind. Trump's choices have real consequences on our troops. https://t.co/FNaYmkHO6w — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If Russian forces indeed rammed one of our vehicles with our troops inside it, this is an usual act of aggression that clearly violates safety protocols. Trump—call out Putin & demand why his forces are harassing & injuring American troops in Syria. https://t.co/D80HJVUtV1 — PolitiTweet.org

The #COVID19 pandemic killed more than 178,000 Americans in a matter of months. This deadly virus continues spreading throughout the country, killing Americans every day. Donald Trump’s response? Bully @CDCgov to reduce diagnostic testing. https://t.co/y1c6rBpIhk — PolitiTweet.org

As we work to ensure equal access to the polls, we do so on the shoulders of women like Abigail Adams, Sojourner Truth & Ida B. Wells who made the adoption of the #19thAmendment possible 100 yrs ago today. Let's finish what they started & pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act. https://t.co/slT8FJnEdY — PolitiTweet.org

Russia attacked our democracy in 2016. Russia is doing it again in 2020. Russia reportedly offered cash for the deaths of our troops. And Donald Trump still thinks Russia is a "friend." Absolutely not. Day 61. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#COVID19 has turned every part of our lives upside down—especially for parents. My call with @C2CChicago leadership was an important reminder that child care funding & paid leave aren't just helpful to families, they're essential—both during this crisis and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s 2020—regardless of gender, race or zip code, all women deserve to be heard at the polls. All women deserve a seat at the table. To #RaiseUpTheVote, don't miss my talk with @WBDC on the importance of having women of color in government and business: https://t.co/zch1rF7gt4 https://t.co/kr3afgkaeC — PolitiTweet.org

Postmaster General DeJoy’s recent tampering with @USPS is just the latest example of how playing politics can have real consequences on the health & well-being of Americans. This should never have happened—not in Cook County or anywhere in America. https://t.co/5LGZKQa3n8 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The military's inability to address this problem fails survivors & harms our military readiness, recruitment and retention. Too much is on the line. Today, I had a much-needed discussion with @ChicagoCouncil on what should be done to address this crisis. https://t.co/T0jItDfqJH — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Sexual assault is a crisis in our nation's military. And the truth is that far too many survivors—women and men—don't trust that they'll get the justice they deserve if they report. The current system isn't working. And I can't look away. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The #CaseForClimateAction also means strengthening our military readiness. Our troops & military bases face growing risks from more extreme & frequent weather, but with the right investments and planning, we can reduce the risks climate change presents to our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For our men and women in uniform and Americans everywhere, Postmaster General DeJoy must make up for all the damage done by his actions. The Postal Service must be fully funded. https://t.co/wEltVXUsOF — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our servicemembers risk their lives to protect us & the freedoms we cherish—including our right to vote. They rely on @USPS to deliver their ballots, bills & messages to their loved ones—and any attempt to damage that pipeline is a poor way to repay them for their service. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Jacob Blake. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. Elijah McClain. The list goes on. Justice too long delayed is justice denied, @senatemajldr. The House passed the #JusticeInPolicing Act two months ago. Hold a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Environmental justice communities are facing 3 crises at once—climate change, racial injustice & #COVID19. As @EJusticeCaucus co-chair, I’m proud to join @SenDemsClimate in unveiling our #CaseForClimateAction report to tackle these challenges. https://t.co/b11cPTq0CZ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The man in the Oval Office has time to get on Twitter to urge a boycott of an American company, Goodyear tires, but can’t find the time to take action against Putin for reportedly putting bounties on our troops. Let that sink in. Day 60. What does Putin have on Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, the very last federal protections to help renters keep a roof over their heads expire. Because Republicans failed to pass the #HEROESAct, landlords can now evict millions of families during a deadly pandemic. This is an outrage. https://t.co/mo1EVJAZLt — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In America, we don't joke about turning the democracy our troops have fought and died for into a dictatorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Strong leaders welcome those who dissent & defend the right to do so. Weak ones try to have them silenced. Navalny wasn't the first, and he surely won't be the last of Putin's critics to wind up gagged. The leader of the free world can’t look past this. https://t.co/zgPegupCgg — PolitiTweet.org
