This grief can be even more unbearable when so many are staying at home and unable to be together to mourn so on June 1st, let us reflect on this with a moment of silence to honor those who have died. We’ll get through this, together. https://t.co/HyAMUtdpvt — PolitiTweet.org

Our country will soon surpass the tragic, painful milestone of 100,000 innocent lives claimed by the #COVID19 pandemic. My heart is with the families and friends in Illinois and across the nation who have lost a loved one. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Just as picking up a rifle to defend our nation is “American Service,” so is volunteering to uplift communities. Glad to advocate w/ @SenatorDurbin for investments in national service opportunities so that every Illinoisan who wants to serve has the chance https://t.co/QlqEQQ7UwV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation with @JohnCornyn to end this policy and make sure any military family experiencing such an awful tragedy is given the time they need and deserve to mourn. https://t.co/0mjZPVqlvw — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No servicemember should be forced to go back to work the day after the death of their child but that’s exactly what current @DeptofDefense policy is allowing to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I joined my colleagues to call on the Trump admin to save lives & prevent a strain on our healthcare system by heeding warnings from health officials. We should use federal resources to prepare for a potential #COVID19 outbreak during the 2020 flu season: https://t.co/GdBZMvy33b — PolitiTweet.org

This #MemorialDay, I’m thinking about my friends who never made it home from war. We will never begin to repay the debt we owe them and their loved ones, but it’s on us to try. https://t.co/T0mD65Lbm1 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This #MemorialDay, I talked with @arobach about what we can do for Veterans during this pandemic, including my bill to make sure they don’t pay copays for health services related to #COVID19. We also discussed how to help new parents, what it’s like to homeschool & more! https://t.co/v5eo0EFIxE — PolitiTweet.org

#MemorialDay has always been significant for my family & this year will be no different. Today, we honor our heroic dead—those who sacrificed their lives to protect the freedoms we cherish each day. May we never forget their names. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: I spoke w/@CuomoPrimeTime last night ahead of #MemorialDay about how we should be helping our Veterans during #COVID19 and what Democrats are doing to help every day working families get thru this crisis & to the other side. Watch here. https://t.co/NV3a2hWu1B — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For some communities, stay-at-home orders have tragically lead to an increase in gun violence. That's why @SenBooker & I are calling for grant programs to help with violence intervention in these hard-hit areas in the next #COVID19 relief package https://t.co/fNCVbVACcY — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If you’re a low-income worker & a #COVID19 test costs more than you can afford, you’re still going to show up for work w/o getting tested. Testing must be FREE & widespread so those who need it most can get it. #FlashbackFriday https://t.co/MHbzcjnFVW — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Most recently, he removed Mitchell Behm as @USDOT Inspector General & replaced him with PHMSA's Skip Elliott, thus undermining transparency, accountability & safety. I wrote to Trump today urging him to immediately reverse this decision. https://t.co/njifQzq4EL — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Over the past two months, Trump has removed or fired *5* long-time public servants from critical oversight positions leading their agencies’ respective inspector general offices without adequate cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Day in & day out, public works professionals keep our cities running—ensuring we have clean water, robust infrastructure, & more throughout the #COVID19 pandemic. During #NPWW, I hope you'll join me in thanking these vital members of our communities for the work they do. https://t.co/S2tVGsFHQ8 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Making our air clean is especially urgent during this pandemic when air pollution could seriously complicate health conditions caused by #COVID19. Proud to join @RepLBR in calling on the @EPA to make sure that air monitoring continues during this crisis: https://t.co/m6tUjPhAvY — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We should honor these Americans by passing my legislation requiring our nation to care for essential employees or their survivors if they suffer injuries or die from COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: Since the start of the deadly #COVID19 pandemic, our nation’s dedicated health care workers, first responders, letter carriers and legions of other vital essential workers have been serving on the front lines. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After Trump’s blatant attempts to racialize #COVID19, Asian American health workers are facing discrimination after risking their lives to care for others. We must condemn this racism wherever we see it, whether on the streets or in the White House. https://t.co/NOhQ3Nd5et — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is really a disgrace. Our men & women in the intel community deserve to be led by someone with integrity & a wealth of national security experience—not someone who exaggerated & distorted his resume & who kowtows to Trump. https://t.co/mkg9it5Io8 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: I joined my colleagues in urging the @USDA to implement #COVID19 safety measures at meat processing sites *before* they re-open because keeping these meat plants running shouldn't come at the expense of workers' well-being: https://t.co/MloffRH552 — PolitiTweet.org

"The idea for this did come from constituents who reached out and asked, 'How come I can't claim my daughter?' We realized it's because the stimulus payments are based on the tax year, and as far as the IRS is concerned, those newborns don't exist yet." https://t.co/iTvYkLkTWO — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

"Many new parents have been laid off from work and are seeing their finances stretched thin... You've got to buy a car seat and the diapers and medicines—then you find out the stimulus payment allows you $500 per dependent, but you can't access it." https://t.co/iTvYkLkTWO — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

🚨The Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan bill to help #smallbusinesses during the #COVID19 pandemic by preventing the @SBAgov's flagship loan program from shutting down! Proud to work on this w/ @SenRubioPress, @ChrisCoons & @SenatorRisch. https://t.co/9mY1G3Lf1l — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I encourage Illinoisans and Americans across the country to #WearOrange on June 5th, National Gun Violence Awareness Day, to honor Hadiya and every other victim of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Trump Admin wants to nickel & dime our troops? Not on my watch. #ICYMI, yesterday, I introduced legislation to ensure that all National Guards troops activated to respond to the #COVID19 pandemic are provided with the FULL benefits they’ve earned. https://t.co/jS8nuwceB0 — PolitiTweet.org
