As a member of this task force, I will do everything in my power to remind Trump of his responsibility to protect public health. He needs to stop blaming others for his Admin’s failures, ensure universal access to testing & expand contact tracing efforts https://t.co/90UbTByAZc — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

For the sake of all Americans who have lost their lives to #COVID19—and the countless more that will succumb—I wish Trump had been as eager to prepare our country for this pandemic as he is to rush towards normalcy when his own experts are warning "we’re not there yet." — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I’m urging @FCC to immediately call on telecommunications providers serving law enforcement facilities across the nation to provide free phone calls & video visitations to better enable families to communicate with incarcerated loved ones during the #COVID19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Families of incarcerated individuals —many of whom are already facing increased economic hardship due to #COVID19—shouldn’t be forced to choose between communicating with a loved one and paying their bills during this pandemic. #PhoneJustice #Right2Connect — PolitiTweet.org

Making sure our state’s airports have the support they need during #COVID19 is important and I'm proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing this funding through the CARES Act to help ensure safe & efficient operations can continue and public health is preserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Many Illinoisans are dealing with increased stress and feelings of despair during these uncertain times. Those struggling should consider using Call4Calm, a free emotional support text line that is available by texting TALK to 552020. #StressAwarenessMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @SenatorDurbin and @SenatorCarper in calling on @EPA to fully adopt the EPA IG’s directive to improve its communication with at-risk communities in Illinois about the potential health risks associated with ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I joined @RonWyden in writing to SBA Administrator @SBAJovita demanding SBA ensure small businesses receive their EEIG advances within three days of application as required by Congress. https://t.co/XI7hEaxpyz — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I’m troubled by reports that small businesses across the country are not receiving their Emergency Economic Injury Grant (EEIG) advances, despite the fact that they are eligible entities and have taken the necessary steps. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Dependable high-speed internet is more important than ever during our public health crisis. I’m proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing federal funding to help our state’s health providers continue to serve their communities through telehealth https://t.co/sW2U4cRAQc — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

In the midst of this pandemic, we must fight harder than ever to protect black mothers' health + remove bias from our healthcare system. Proud to join @SenKamalaHarris + @SenatorDurbin in calling to designate this week #BlackMaternalHealthWeek https://t.co/NLJrLQYbAc — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I had a productive discussion with @SenatorDurbin, @chicagosmayor and members of the IL delegation about Chicago's #COVID19 response. We'll keep working to ensure Chicago and the rest of IL have the resources they need to address this public health crisis https://t.co/EQ3TLJE2P0 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I implore Senate GOP Leadership to join us&work together to provide urgently-needed emergency $ to our nation’s hospitals, healthcare providers&state+local gov'ts in the next deal. They must abandon “take it or leave” tactics&embrace bipartisan solutions for the public good. 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Democrats also refuse to leave the healthcare heroes of the #COVID19 pandemic, or smaller hospitals on the verge of collapse, behind. That’s what we’re fighting for here. Without them, we’re all at risk. 4/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

…but funding must go to community lenders that will get dollars to the #SmallBusinesses that need it most but have been left behind by the big banks. We want to work across the aisle, but Republicans continue to block efforts to help those on the front lines of this crisis. 3/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans AND the Trump administration all support adding an additional $250 billion to the @SBAgov’s #PaycheckProtectionProgram. There is *no* debate over helping small businesses… 2/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Every day, every hour, every minute, heroic frontline healthcare workers—and the legion of support staff that enable them—are risking their health&lives while responding to the deadly #COVID19 pandemic. Congress *must* prioritize delivering support to these brave heroes ASAP. 1/5 — PolitiTweet.org

I had a great opportunity to talk to small biz owners in the Quad Cities today about the challenges they're facing right now. Thank you to @ChamberQC for the chance to connect with your members and answer important questions https://t.co/CpBajJdyVV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Checking in with leaders from across IL is especially important during #COVID19. I recently spoke with several Metro East officials about the federal assistance needed and efforts already underway for @stclairhealth, @ScottAFB, @SIHF_Health & @MAAirport https://t.co/ka8Q6lAUy4 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

That’s why I joined @SenGaryPeters and @SenatorDurbin in writing to @VP expressing our concerns and requesting more information on how these companies are allocating medical supplies across the country. https://t.co/uudexD5IaH — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

The Trump Administration is relying on private companies to distribute desperately-needed medical supplies, which raises serious ethical questions and could result in supplies not being delivered to those in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our farmers in IL & across the country are struggling right now. I joined 31 of my Senate colleagues in urging the @USDA to ensure stimulus funding goes to our local farmers who sell directly to consumers, schools, farmers markets & more https://t.co/qfbJ9OFj52 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Communities like Little Village are already at a higher risk for diseases like asthma, which make them more vulnerable to #COVID19. We need to make sure everyone works together to ensure public health is protected & something like this doesn't happen again https://t.co/jd4YuX0fsc — PolitiTweet.org
