Millions of workers have been laid off. Millions continue to show up for essential work. OSHA is tasked w/ enforcing safe workplace environments to protect our workers, yet—despite countless complaints— hasn’t issued a single citation since the start of the #COVID19 crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I joined @SenBooker and @RepPressley in calling for @TheJusticeDept to conduct an independent federal investigation into the brutal murder of an unarmed #AhmaudArbery & whether county officials violated his civil rights by failing to even arrest, let alone prosecute, his killers. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Let me be clear: when Trump attacks Vote by Mail, he’s attacking our Veterans’ right to vote. Our Vietnam Vets are at risk due to Agent Orange exposure & our Iraq/Afghanistan Vets are at risk due to burn pit exposure—asking them to endanger their lives just to vote is SHAMEFUL. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As we commemorate #BrownVBoard, the #COVID19 crisis has shown us that the fight for equal educational opportunities continues. During stay at home orders & beyond, we must ensure ALL students—no matter their skin color— have broadband internet access & an equal shot to succeed. https://t.co/iT1myG8Q43 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The middle of a public health crisis is not the time to cut corners on providing for those serving on the frontlines. My colleagues & I are calling on Trump to extend full federal benefits to all National Guard troops activated in response to #COVID19: https://t.co/7ZuCdx3uwl — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud to introduce a resolution condemning anti-Asian racism with @SenKamalaHarris, @maziehirono & @RepGraceMeng https://t.co/T9mJffyEwY — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After Trump repeatedly used his platform to try to racialize #COVID19, we continue to see spikes in discrimination against Asian Americans. We must speak out against these racist acts & those who stoke fears about a virus we know strikes w/o regard to the color of a person’s skin — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If we don’t nip this in the bud, we could have a much bigger problem on our hands. As pediatricians transition back to in-person services, parents need to schedule appts & catch their kids up on their vaccination schedules—so we don’t replace the outbreak of #COVID19 w/measles — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: I spoke to @NicolleDWallace of @MSNBC about how shameful it is that when it comes to safeguarding our children from illnesses potentially linked to #COVID19, Trump is more worried about himself and how he looks rather than listening to scientists like Dr. Fauci. https://t.co/gSm0kl3rpq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Gradually reopening our economy during this pandemic that has killed 80,000+ Americans will require Illinois to have a robust & effective testing & contact tracing system. Proud to work with @SenatorDurbin to secure this urgently-needed federal funding https://t.co/NglN4ih92o — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Whether people are worrying about how to pay the bills or for their family’s safety, the #COVID19 crisis adds a heavy toll on Americans' mental health—and especially for frontline and essential workers. It's #Time2Act and #FundMentalHealth in the next COVID-19 emergency bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Was glad to speak with the Illinois Municipal League to hear about their critical work throughout this pandemic. @SenatorDurbin and I are going to keep working to ensure that IL’s communities and families can get through this crisis and begin to rebuild. https://t.co/pIsZznnVRA — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@NicolleDWallace of @MSNBC asked what my priorities are for getting our nation through this pandemic. My answer: testing, contact tracing and help for new parents & frontline workers. https://t.co/LCf1qhoeZU — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The enemy in the fight against #COVID19 isn’t the Asian or Asian-American community, but rather a virus that endangers us all. I'm glad @USCCRgov is taking action, and I’ll work to make sure they move quickly. https://t.co/cw87NVgvgO — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#ICYMI: Yesterday, @SenateDemocrats unanimously made it clear for the Trump Administration that we should be expanding every American’s access to health coverage—not ripping it away from millions during a global pandemic. It’s time to #DropTheLawsuit against the #ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Expanding the reach of Illinois’s healthcare network is critical to extending reliable care. I’m proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing these federal telehealth funds to help our state’s health providers serve their communities in this time of need https://t.co/DOMOTK3tFk — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While we must do more to protect these workers as they take on greater risks during this pandemic, we also need to recognize the sad reality that our nation has a responsibility to take care of the loved ones of essential workers who perish because they decided to help others. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

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 #COVID-19 infections and keep our country running during this deadly pandemic. https://t.co/w4vwZihQUe — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

While Illinoisans continue to isolate & stay at home, mental health & substance abuse treatment is a critical part of our healthcare system’s response in helping Americans deal with #COVID19. Proud to announce this federal funding with @SenatorDurbin https://t.co/I1coVUFQkU — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Americans should be able to *safely* exercise their right to vote during the #COVID19 pandemic. That’s one reason why I joined my colleagues to call on the @CDCgov for clear guidance on how we can keep voters, poll workers & election workers protected: https://t.co/L4blGRRrst — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Essential workers—from health care workers to janitors—have been on the frontline during the #COVID19 crisis & they deserve our support. Proud to join my colleagues in calling for a much-deserved federal compensation fund for these essential workers: https://t.co/yG8spGsXv8 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m proud to introduce common-sense bipartisan legislation with @RepUnderwood, @SenatorCollins and @SenatorTester to make sure Veterans don’t have to pay more for vaccines or preventive services related to #COVID-19 than other insured Americans. https://t.co/gMTPvd4siU — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

All Americans deserve access to the best healthcare possible—especially those who’ve sacrificed to defend our nation—and that healthcare includes the eventual #COVID-19 vaccine and preventive services related to the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Without free and accessible testing, many Americans across the nation will be faced with an impossible choice: risk… https://t.co/BNxrIRrPde — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m glad several of my priorities were included in the House Democrats’ new #COVID19 package: https://t.co/bMaSSSj80C — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Despite Republicans saying they have “yet to feel the urgency of acting immediately” to help lift Americans out of this crisis, Democrats hear the millions of struggling families and are working to get them relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s our responsibility as a nation to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote can do so in a way that’s secure, accessible & safe. I’m proud to help @SenKamalaHarris introduce a bill to help fulfill that responsibility expanding access to vote by mail & early voting. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#COVID19’s persistence, and the possibility of a fall resurgence, have made it abundantly clear that we must prepare for an Election Day that does not resemble those of the past. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to join @SenatorDurbin to announce federal funding to help our state work towards widespread testing and enable community health centers to continue serving their communities during this public health crisis. https://t.co/TVSmt0cUgc — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Lives are at stake across Illinois and our entire country because of #COVID19 and Community Health Centers are on the front lines. — PolitiTweet.org
