What’s happening in Portland, and what could happen in Chicago or any number of cities across the country, is deeply troubling. The Trump administration is using this as another opportunity to trample on the First Amendment rights of Americans https://t.co/UwqyuNrrXZ — PolitiTweet.org

25 days ago, the news broke that Putin reportedly put bounties on the heads of our troops. Last week, we learned that Russian hackers may be trying to steal #COVID19 vaccine research. And Trump has said nothing to tell Russia to stop. Why? — PolitiTweet.org

52 years ago, Chicago hosted the 1st @SpecialOlympics, giving 1,000 athletes a platform to inspire the world with their strength, talent & ability. Now more than 5 million compete each year across 172 countries! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

When a foreign adversary threatens our troops, we expect our Commander in Chief to act. If Trump has done anything to stand up to reported Russian bounties, we still don't know about it. It’s been 24 days. We need an open hearing to find out if our troops are protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Military equipment is meant to protect Americans. It should never be used by police against peaceful protesters exercising their First Amendment rights. I look forward to joining @SenBrianSchatz in voting to #DemilitarizeThePolice. — PolitiTweet.org

This Wednesday at 8PM ET, I will be joining @SenatorDurbin for a Facebook live Q&A to answer your questions about #COVID19, our priorities for the next federal relief package & more.

Last week I visited @MAAirport, where I met with local officials and viewed the Navy’s new MQ-25 unmanned aircraft system. MidAmerica Airport is an important driver of our state's economy, and I’ll keep working to make sure it has the federal support it needs https://t.co/Gp0JOBiNW9 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This week, the United States Senate should honor the legacy of John Lewis—who bled for voting rights on the Edmund Pettus bridge—by taking action. @senatemajldr must allow a vote on the bill to restore the Voting Rights Act, which he has blocked for over 200 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

172 years ago, our sisters raised their voices at #SenecaFalls and paved the way for women's rights. Because of their resilience, they helped shape our democracy for the better and we owe it to them to continue the fight for equality. https://t.co/rEtHorOf7T — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Heartbroken to hear we’ve lost @RepJohnLewis, a civil rights icon and true American hero. Joining him to create #goodtrouble as he led the gun violence sit in was an incredible honor, as was calling him a colleague and friend. I will miss him dearly. We all will. https://t.co/EC70QRmxYz — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Eric Garner should be alive today. George Floyd should be alive today. Countless others should be alive today. Chokeholds should be banned today, and the Senate should get the chance to vote on the #JusticeInPolicing Act to do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Ginsburg is a fighter. Give it hell, RBG. We need you and we're with you. https://t.co/iAUi5LqDqW — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This PR move by ICE is remarkably misguided, will do nothing to make communities any safer and should never have been proposed in the first place, much less while ICE is claiming they do not have sufficient funding for essential functions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The awful truth is that across the nation, Black & Brown Americans are disproportionately affected by this deadly pandemic. Proud to join my colleagues in introducing the COVID-19 Bias and Anti-Racism Training Act to help improve care for communities who have been hard hit. https://t.co/RDYCck2wmU — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud to join @SenSchumer in announcing this critical bill that would help address decades of injustice by increasing access to child care and community healthcare, confronting the maternal mortality crisis and investing in infrastructure in communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Now rename the bases. https://t.co/zY13Bb1tyC — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The people of Centreville and the environmental justice issues their community face deserve to be addressed, and I was glad to have the opportunity to discuss how the federal government can help bring much- needed resources https://t.co/YRtb4XDcB4 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

These stories are heartbreaking. Systemic racism in healthcare, economic & environmental protection systems contribute to Black Americans dying of #COVID19 at 3x the rate of white Americans. We need to tackle racial justice from all angles—it’s overdue. https://t.co/MXX5WiUmhr — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Three weeks. It's been three weeks since the American people learned Putin reportedly offered bounties for the killing of American troops and there has been nothing but *deny deny deny* from the White House. Donald Trump is a disgrace & a danger to us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If the president won't help us meet the demands of this pandemic, @ChrisVanHollen, @SenAngusKing & I have a bill that will. Congress must pass our Public Health Emergency (PHE) Production Act to help @HHSGov boost PPE production. https://t.co/XgobSsvFq6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The self-proclaimed "wartime president" could have easily helped curb these emergency supply shortages, but because Trump was slow to act, overcoming the #COVID19 pandemic is even more of an uphill battle. https://t.co/x3IjKVrw3K — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Right now, I'm terrified that I'm my daughter's sole source of education. I'm a trained pilot, not a trained teacher. But I’m not sending my kid to school if science isn't leading the way for re-openings to keep students safe. #NotMyChild https://t.co/2FXaKORi4Y — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My colleagues & I saw this for what it was: an excuse to use these students as pawns in order to coerce colleges & universities to reopen this fall, despite what is best for public health. That's why we wrote to ICE & DHS urging them to reverse this policy https://t.co/eyfwmdzHeV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It was downright cruel to try to deport international students in the middle of a global pandemic. I'm glad the Trump admin heeded my request & rescinded this heartless, xenophobic policy that should have never been proposed in the first place. https://t.co/IXtOSvFfzM — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Since the start of this pandemic, I've been demanding greater enforcement by @EPA to ensure that all air-monitoring networks and air monitors are operating correctly. Clearly, whatever they're doing isn't enough and I'll be taking action. https://t.co/oFr7NLgYOs — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last week, Chicago suffered through the longest streak of unhealthy, high-pollution air in over a decade. During a pandemic that hits the respiratory system, this news could not be worse, esp. for Black & Brown communities that are already hit hardest by pollution & #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org
