I’m proud to help introduce this legislation that would fully utilize the Defense Production Act to boost production of this life-saving equipment and increase transparency over its distribution, and I hope it is included in the next #COVID19 relief package. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Donald Trump’s chaotic response to #COVID19 has failed to prevent shortages of the testing supplies, PPE and other medical equipment that our frontline healthcare providers rely on to take care of patients and keep themselves safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I had a productive call with @GovPritzker and the IL delegation yesterday discussing the state's response to #COVID19 and what IL needs from Congress. I'll keep working to make sure all states have the necessary resources during this public health and economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s one reason why I joined @SenWarren in urging Congress to increase support for the disability community in the next relief bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The #COVID19 pandemic has exposed many troubling disparities that disproportionately harm the disability community, including inadequate access to healthcare and higher unemployment rates. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last year, I started the Environmental Justice Caucus because black & brown communities get left behind far too often. We’re seeing this during the #COVID19 pandemic with the racial disparity in positive cases & deaths. We need to do more to protect & support these communities. https://t.co/pk7RFuHQR3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@SenatorDurbin & I had a productive call w/@ILAFLCIO leaders yesterday to discuss #COVID19 relief & labor protections. I’ll keep working to make sure workers have equipment needed to protect themselves on the job & support investments that help small businesses stay afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Yet another shameful example of women & minority business owners getting shut out from accessing capital—this time because they lacked pre-existing relationships w/ large banks. We MUST guarantee the next relief bill ensures equitable access & enforces fair lending protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My dad was in his 50s when he lost his job and we were on food stamps. I understand how hard it can be for families out there right now who, because of #COVID19, can’t make ends meet. I’m focused on helping them put food on the table. https://t.co/pr36Bdq0s6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Tune in tonight to see me on @TheDailyShow w/@Trevornoah! We'll talk about what I hope to see in a future #COVID19 relief package, how we can help those on the frontlines, the pandemic's impact on communities of color & working from home while homeschooling my 5 year old! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I helped @RepCheri propose an online real estate service for existing, unused military space in order to better market these places to the military and federal government. The proposal calls for a pilot program to be established at @Arsenal_Island. https://t.co/LUHtuVLujR — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I joined 143 of my colleagues in the House and the Senate to urge the FCC to inform low-income families who are newly eligible for SNAP or Medicaid that they’re also eligible for Lifeline – an FCC telephone and broadband assistance program. Read more: https://t.co/5dPYZhXDut — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The #COVID19 crisis has shown us that internet access has become so essential for so many. Americans are depending on broadband for school, healthcare, employment & accessing public benefits – and low-income families should know there’s help out there to afford connectivity. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I wrote to @EsperDoD requesting information on whether a hazardous waste incinerator in Sauget, IL, is receiving toxic chemicals like PFAS—a known carcinogen. We must understand if DoD is disposing of this material in an unsafe manner that is harming the surrounding community. https://t.co/Iefo9T0U82 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

During the #COVID19 pandemic, immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking & other serious crimes need to have continued access to programs that can help and support them. My colleagues and I wrote to USCIS about this: https://t.co/XT9fFxx9Fq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I had a productive call w/@IHAhospitals, Southern IL hospital leaders, @SenatorDurbin, @RepShimkus & @RepBost yesterday. I'm grateful for the doctors, nurses, janitors, administrators & all hospital workers & I’ll keep working to make sure they have the support & resources needed — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

#COVID19 has undoubtedly had a disproportionate impact on our most vulnerable populations – including those without internet access. That's one reason I joined @SenatorDurbin to make sure we're guaranteeing all Americans who are eligible can receive their economic impact payments — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to help introduce @SenatorDurbin & @RepSchakowsky’s important bill to address health care shortages by expanding our service organizations. Just as picking up a rifle to defend our country is “American Service,” so is helping patients make critical health care decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I was proud to join @SenatorTester and @SenatorDurbin in urging the Trump Administration to fully utilize the Defense Production Act to help @DeptVetAffairs address the staggering shortage of PPE and medical supplies within the Department. https://t.co/9KbBQPWnNn — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This is a ridiculous statement from someone who is supposed to be the President of the UNITED States of America. We are in all in this together and it’s literally the Federal Government's job to help every state weather a national crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

College students shouldn't have to worry about how they're getting their next meal - especially during a pandemic. I’m joining @SenatorDurbin, @SenKamalaHarris & 16 of our Senate colleagues in calling for more assistance for them: https://t.co/Ja6YTmoiq9 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I was honored to join @SenatorDurbin @RepBobbyRush @RepRobinKelly @RepDannyDavis & @RepUnderwood to discuss #COVID19 racial disparities & what we can do w/@WSUnitedChi. I'll keep working to ensure all communities have the resources they need to address this public health crisis — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Their work is as important as it’s ever been and I will continue doing all I can to provide them with the assistance needed so they can make it through to the other side of the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/8BlBUcQolj — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last week @SenatorDurbin & I spoke with #IL non-profit organizations who are showing us that “American service” isn’t limited to picking up a rifle to defend democracy—it can also mean picking up a spoon to feed the less fortunate or a piece of chalk to teach low-income kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Trump is a failed Commander-in-Chief. No real Commander would ever endanger the lives of his troops just for his own personal ego. The man has no shame. https://t.co/6H4HnmLq3c — PolitiTweet.org

Unbelievable. Five-time draft dodger #CadetBoneSpurs is risking the health of *real* Cadets to stroke his own ego. Trump is just shameless. — PolitiTweet.org
