#COVID19 is surging throughout our state & the country, and Illinois is in need of support. That's why I led the IL congressional delegation in calling for a Title 32 Extension for National Guard servicemembers to keep assisting IL in its response efforts: https://t.co/P2BY0tHEMx — PolitiTweet.org

If America is going to heal from #COVID19, we need bold, honest efforts to repair the decades of broken trust between communities of color & our healthcare system. We can't move forward if Black & Brown Americans are left behind when a vaccine is ready. https://t.co/42qH6OLIG1 — PolitiTweet.org

The truth is right in front of him and he's still concerned about how bad the numbers look for his re-election. Not a shred of sympathy for the 150,000 Americans who have died on his watch or their loved ones and families. — PolitiTweet.org

The combination of this pandemic & the extreme heat this summer poses a serious health threat for pregnant women—especially women of color. Wishful thinking won't make these issues go away. We need real action on the #COVID19 and the climate crises. https://t.co/XR40QWmGbx — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it's a crisis on the home front, like #COVID19, or a crisis abroad, like Putin reportedly offering bounties for the killing of our troops, Trump has failed to lead. And his failure may be helping Russia get away with murder. #Day39 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Yet another example of Trump’s politicization of the military—inserting an unqualified loyalist into the @DeptofDefense who would fail to get Senate confirmation. I urge the White House to reverse course & remove Tata from this post immediately. https://t.co/PdIqZYmSgU — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After months of inaction, the GOP's #COVID19 proposal fails to support the environmental justice communities that are disproportionately affected by this pandemic: Lower-income communities. Communities of color. Tribal and indigenous communities. They deserve so much better. https://t.co/N8VFmk45mG — PolitiTweet.org

Day 38 of presidential silence on #BountyGate. That's it. That's the tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Has Trump condemned Putin for reportedly offering $ for militants to kill our troops in Afghanistan? We still don't know... and it's been 37 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Donald Trump, do you have an ounce of regret for American troops who've waited 36 days to know whether or not you care that Putin has reportedly put bounties on their heads? Asking for our American troops & on behalf of ALL Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I want schools to reopen just as much as the next person, but I won't send my daughter to school if it isn't safe. How can we force this kind of impossible choice on working families? It doesn't have to be this way. https://t.co/YPFIldmq8w — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our troops who are in harm’s way need to know that the Commander in Chief has their back. The fact that Donald Trump has apparently refused to even conduct an investigation into the reported Russian bounty program is a shameful dereliction of duty. https://t.co/4UXuwe5Dv7 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As much as I want my kid to get back to being taught by a trained educator—schools must have the necessary equipment & safety guidelines before they can reopen. Donald Trump & Betsy DeVos have failed to make that happen. https://t.co/JpIcWGPoIy — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We can’t turn our backs on the coal miners who have kept our nation running for decades. This future-forward bill will re-imagine coal country by expanding affordable healthcare options, making higher education tuition-free & incentivizing home buying. https://t.co/jiQtk5oRYo — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We can’t achieve racial justice without securing environmental justice. As the #COVID19 pandemic rages on, those in power must fully embrace @SenKamalaHarris, @SenBooker & my historic legislation to bring #environmentaljustice to communities of color. https://t.co/jiGcot1THX — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Day 35. Not a word from Trump about the reported Russia bounty program. He is a failed Commander in Chief. That much is clear. What still isn't clear, though, is if he will EVER condemn Putin for his actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Today, unemployment insurance benefits officially expire for millions of Americans because Donald Trump and his party of incompetence wasted months on inaction and sold out American workers for corporate handouts. This is a national disgrace. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For 55 years, Medicare & Medicaid have given millions access to life-saving healthcare. During the #COVID19 pandemic, we must protect these programs at all costs. I'll do all I can to make sure Republicans don't yank these safety net programs away from Americans who rely on them. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We need an open hearing in the Senate on #BountyGate to investigate whether Putin offered bounties for the killing of our servicemembers, when Trump knew about it and why he's done nothing in response for 34 days. — PolitiTweet.org

“Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.” Instilling hope in all of us until the very end. Thank you, Congressman. https://t.co/ERYVcSgBiw — PolitiTweet.org

When traveling, you’d never be expected to eat your meal in a bathroom stall, yet for many new mothers, that’s the reality they face. I'm proud the Senate passed this legislation from me & @SenatorFischer to ensure small airports are breastfeeding-friendly https://t.co/PfmoXQSuWd — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Two years ago, Congress took the first step in making air travel easier for new parents by passing my bipartisan FAM Act. Now, we are building upon that success by ensuring small airports and their passengers aren’t left behind. https://t.co/9HB9E3fnPW — PolitiTweet.org

.@senatemajldr: take notice. While the GOP #COVID19 proposal put corporations over Americans, Chicago announced $33 million in housing & rental assistance. This could help countless Chicagoans keep a roof over their heads. Chicago residents can apply now through 8/10. — PolitiTweet.org
