We must do everything we can to protect these fenceline and front-line communities, which is why I’m proud to work with @RepLBR on this bill to help assess the pollutants they are currently exposed to by expanding our national air quality program during this critical time. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Black Americans and other communities of color are dying at disproportionate rates during this pandemic, in part because of the long-term, cumulative health consequences associated with toxic air pollution from facilities located in their neighborhoods.https://t.co/Npt6FFTsBJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump's DoD thinks our protesters & journalists are “adversaries.” Trump's SecDef thinks our cities are “battle spaces.” Trump thinks Putin, who reportedly put bounties on our troops’ heads, is a “great guy” & a “terrific person.” So much for America first. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Anthony Tata's many public statements spewing Islamophobia & racism show that he would be a danger in any senior leadership position, much less one that sets the course for our defense policy. He should withdraw his name. Our troops deserve better. https://t.co/hUJkNoC0uM — PolitiTweet.org

We know exactly what this Racist in Chief means by "Suburban Lifestyle Dream." The AFFH rule was intended to help our government root out modern-day segregation—we won't go back. — PolitiTweet.org

When I visited Centreville earlier this month, I finally got the chance to meet with residents & hear firsthand about the awful flooding & sewage issues they’ve dealt with for years. Now, @SenatorDurbin & I are calling on @EPA to do more to assess this https://t.co/0I5rgEhK5q — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RepLBR: For decades, Environmental Justice and frontline communities in Delaware have been living in the shadow of industrial pollution… — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES since he was given intelligence that Russia might be paying bounties for American troops' lives. But he "never discussed it with him." This is a shameful dereliction of duty.#Day33 https://t.co/tYaxQLdz3L — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans: We're going to shield corporations from liability if their employees get sick. Also Republicans: We refuse to implement an OSHA safety standard that would help keep essential workers safe on the job during the #COVID19 crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No rent assistance. No food assistance. No money to help state & local governments keep essential workers on payroll. But $1.7 billion handout to rebuild the FBI building & help increase the property value of the nearby Trump hotel. https://t.co/0pfSxwl6or — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#COVID19 is spreading like wildfire in our nursing homes—and yet, Republicans saw no need to include any money or aid in their proposal for these facilities who are on the frontlines struggling to contain infections and save lives. Absolutely unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Republican #COVID19 proposal would give big banks the green light to roll back bank regulations & funnel cash to Wall Street—days before millions lose their unemployment insurance benefits. https://t.co/c3fvQwpUGP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Your proposal provides more money to increase the value of the Trump hotel than to help state and local governments keep teachers and other essential workers on payroll. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Law and Order Administration is once again literally ignoring court orders. That's not Law and Order, it's what authoritarians do. And the people who will suffer are those who now live in constant fear of being ripped from their families & the only home they've ever known. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Whenever and wherever we see injustice, let us remember the words of Congressman John Lewis: "You must be bold, brave and courageous, and find a way to get in the way." Rest in power, my friend. https://t.co/KKz97euq61 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Day 32. Still no word from Trump about Putin reportedly offering bounties for the killing of our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

They also seem to think asking those who are still out of work b/c of how poorly they & Trump have managed this pandemic to take a 30% pay cut is an acceptable long-term solution. It isn’t. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: @senatemajldr, bring the #HEROESAct to the floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let’s be clear: Republicans refused to act for MONTHS on a #COVID19 bill. They wouldn't even vote on the #HEROESAct. It's unconscionable that they would now try to cut hundreds of $ a week for working class families who need it to put food on the table. https://t.co/ZXCu8sm3DJ — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday we celebrated 30 years of the ADA & today Senate Republicans unveiled a #COVID19 proposal that would gut disability rights at a time when these protections are needed as much as ever. This is nothing less than a blatant attack on the disability community. My statement: https://t.co/9z0FFL2m3d — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman John Lewis's lying in state today should fill every American with a renewed sense of duty. Our nation is stronger because of all of the #goodtrouble John Lewis made and it is incumbent upon all of us to honor his legacy by continuing his life's work. https://t.co/yzYEE9tFzq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#OTD, 14 years ago, President Bush signed the Voting Rights Act Reauthorization into law—extending the VRA of 1965. Congressman John Lewis put his blood, sweat & tears into the movement that brought about the VRA and in his honor we must #restorethevote to its full vitality. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In the past 31 days, Donald Trump has called #BlackLivesMatter a symbol of hate. He's sent unidentified federal agents to police Portland streets against peaceful protesters. But he has NOT publicly called out Putin for reportedly offering bounties for American troops abroad. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

30 years after the ADA became law, too many continue to think that someone living with a disability will lead a lesser life. But, in so many ways, I think my life without my legs is *more* than it ever was. It was an honor to talk about this & more with @judithheumann: — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

RT if you agree that 30 days of silence from Donald Trump about #BountyGate is 30 days too long. If Putin really has put bounties on our troops, then they need to know that their Commander and Chief has their back. So far, his silence is deafening. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is why every advocate, every organizer, every fellow American with a disability & I will fight like hell to protect the #ADA. Working together. Speaking as one. Proving the power of our community that only grows stronger every time someone tries to deny us our rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every issue is a disability issue, b/c our community—at 60 million strong—is beautifully diverse. That's a gift, but also a responsibility. We must bring about a tomorrow where accessibility is the default, not an afterthought or an inconvenience. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

4 months later, #OTD, the ADA became law. But even as we celebrate all the great progress made in the last 3 decades this #ADA30, we haven’t gone nearly far enough. In transportation. In housing. In education. In healthcare. In employment opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org
