Testing. Testing. Testing. In Illinois, we know that widespread testing is the key to overcoming this pandemic. I'm proud of Illinois's leadership on #COVID19 testing & thankful to every frontline worker administering these tests so that all of us can stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

I voted by mail in 2004 when I was serving overseas. It's a safe, secure & accessible system. Our Vets are especially vulnerable during this pandemic—so when Trump attacks vote by mail, he's attacking our Veterans' constitutional right to vote that they fought to defend. — PolitiTweet.org

As we commemorate the National Voter Registration Act, #COVID19's persistence threatens a free & fair election in November. The VoteSafe Act would expand access to vote by mail & early voting so every American can exercise their right to vote w/o jeopardizing their health. https://t.co/kroOeXcFeJ — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I introduced a resolution to condemn hate, violence & discrimination against Asian Americans prompted by the #COVID19 outbreak, which serves no place in our society. Diversity makes us stronger. https://t.co/T9mJffh3Fq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

During #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth, it was an honor to join my fellow @CAPAC members for an @APAICS conversation on #COVID19 & AAPI leadership. Conversations like these bring us one step closer to a better, more equal future free of discrimination. https://t.co/5T63xIbF7P — PolitiTweet.org

But, since Trump has failed to fix the problem, today I introduced legislation to require that Title 32 authority be extended for the duration of the #COVID19 public health emergency https://t.co/VZAzMFvFkk — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I strongly oppose a “hard stop” of Guard deployments at 89 days to deny #NationalGuard members full benefits for their service on the frontlines of this crisis and have called on Trump to fix it by extending Title 32 authority https://t.co/7ZuCdwLTEN — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Trump Admin’s repeated attempts to nickel & dime members of the @USNationalGuard would be wrong under any circumstance, but it's particularly offensive when these troops are responding to the #COVID19 pandemic that has killed more than 90k Americans https://t.co/bJ8Gc1I9rw — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I pressed EPA Administrator Wheeler about reports that EPA is rolling back air pollution protections & enabling a non-enforcement policy that encourages companies to operate w/o regulation during the #COVID19 pandemic, which could hurt environmental justice communities. https://t.co/SGuTIIoskf — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last month, I wrote to @EPA Region 5 expressing concern about the threat General Iron facilities pose to the health of nearby Chicagoans. On Monday, my fears became a reality. I support Chicago’s decision to immediately shut down the plant. Safety MUST come first. https://t.co/N3IPElymMa — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I was glad to speak to the Asian American Executive Network today about supporting Asian-American communities & minority-owned biz during #COVID19. I’ll keep working to ensure vulnerable communities have what they need to make it through this pandemic https://t.co/ycmcTx4cpR — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This was the right call. Now, BOP must extend this policy & test ALL inmates within its custody for #COVID19 before transferring them to another BOP facility. The safety & health of inmates and staff must be BOP’s top priority. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t let vulnerable students struggle and fall behind in their education during the #COVID19 crisis. That's one of the reasons I joined my colleagues in calling for significant funding in the next relief package for programs that help at-risk students. https://t.co/UCOWIyVYwU — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#COVID19 has made it challenging for Illinoisans to visit stores or travel to purchase groceries, & the work @GovPritzker & @ILHumanServices are doing to provide families w/ safe alternatives is a lifeline. I’ll keep working w/@SenatorDurbin to secure support at the federal level — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As someone whose family depended on food stamps after my father lost his job, I know how important access to affordable food is. No family should have to choose between putting themselves at risk or going hungry because they rely on SNAP benefits — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I wrote to @EsperDoD urging him to work with @thejointstaff and @fema to better respond to the deadly #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/WpY3ts0yV7 — PolitiTweet.org

If you live in Illinois & your job was impacted by #COVID19, check out this new website to connect with employers, view job listings, and access the resources you need to land a new job. Brighter days are ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

All Americans deserve access to the best healthcare possible—especially those who’ve sacrificed to defend our nation. I'm glad the House passed a bill I introduced with @RepUnderwood to make sure Vets don't pay more for vaccines or preventive services related to #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

A shipment of personal protective equipment (PPE)—specifically, 5 million masks—was diverted away from @DeptVetAffairs and delivered to @fema. FEMA needs to provide a justification for why this happened. https://t.co/gyNwXWKHV7 — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout Illinois, small businesses are hurting—struggling to protect their financial health. It was a pleasure to join @ChiTreasurer to discuss assistance for small businesses&working families. We must push for widespread relief&resources to help them weather this crisis NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm honored to join @SmlBizMajority today for this #AAPIHM event. I've been working to make sure minority-owned small businesses have equal access to federal resources, and I'll keep working to make sure vulnerable communities have what they need to make it through #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday marked the founding of @HeadStartgov, which has played a pivotal role for millions of children’s early development. Let’s build on this success to help give every family access to quality child care & every child the tools they need to thrive in & out of the classroom. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I introduced legislation with @SenBlumenthal, @SenMarkey and @SenGillibrand to create a new #COVID19 Victim Compensation Fund for essential workers, or their families, who have become ill or died as a result of this pandemic. https://t.co/dC6Simq0Og — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation’s dedicated health care workers, first responders, letter carriers and other essential workers are serving on the front lines to care for patients battling #COVID19 infections and keep our country running during this deadly pandemic. https://t.co/igpqOUD0yH — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @JimInhofe in expressing concerns over @FCC actions approving Ligado Network’s application to deploy a telecom network that could interfere with our GPS system, which our military and countless industries rely on. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s no surprise that Trump’s OSHA has failed to issue a single citation when they won’t even agree to issue an enforceable standard. In March, I introduced legislation to require OSHA to set an emergency standard to protect frontline health care workers. https://t.co/pQF5p8pOrq — PolitiTweet.org
