.@SenatorDurbin and I had a productive conversation with Secretary @EsperDoD this morning about our request for military personnel to be quickly deployed to the field hospital in McCormick Place to help that facility prepare for the expected wave of cases in Chicago. — PolitiTweet.org

During these uncertain times, I know many of us have questions about #COVID19 — including what is considered an essential business in Illinois. Watch this video for more info: https://t.co/rQ5iqYevPf — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI - @SenatorDurbin & I wrote to Senate leadership urging them to include additional federal assistance to local governments in the forthcoming supplemental #COVID19 relief package. Read our letter here ⬇️ https://t.co/8vJZ0cO4LC — PolitiTweet.org

Lives are at stake across IL and our entire country because of #COVID19. I’m proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing this much-needed infusion of funding to help our state’s hospitals and health care workers continue to serve their communities during this public health crisis — PolitiTweet.org

To all who celebrate today, Happy #Easter! This year's celebrations will be different but it's important to still practice social distancing and find new ways to connect with loved ones&the holiday -- either by phone calls or virtual services. Stay safe & have a great holiday https://t.co/1z4C7eVWKr — PolitiTweet.org

Last week during my teletown hall, I answered a question about how long shelter-in-place will last in Illinois. As of now, @GovPritzker has our state on a stay-at-home order until April 30th. Watch this video to find out more: https://t.co/akqwYhp3GS — PolitiTweet.org

We also discussed how to make better use of the extraordinary manufacturing capabilities of the Rock Island Arsenal at a time when our nation desperately needs life-saving medical equipment. — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciated the opportunity to speak with @SecArmy Ryan McCarthy yesterday about the urgent need for more Army Reserve soldiers to be deployed to McCormick Place to help that facility prepare for the expected wave of cases in Chicago. — PolitiTweet.org

Check out my video where I share some of the worksheets I’ve been using with my 5 year old! #StayAtHome #COVID19 https://t.co/qX8rryVsNf — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to mom, wife, Senator and Veteran, I’ve added a new title: teacher! I’ve been homeschooling my girls while we continue to adhere to stay at home orders and I can tell you, I have such a deep respect for educators all across this country! — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last week during my teletown hall, I answered a question about whether or not senior citizens are entitled to the economic impact checks that were included in the #CARESAct. The short answer: yes. Watch this video to find out more: https://t.co/TmnwwofcIv — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Keeping students safe, healthy & with access to distance learning opportunities is important. I had a great discussion w/@ChiPubSchools CEO Janice Jackson about the needs of CPS, & I'll keep working to make sure our schools have the resources they need https://t.co/cqZDsLoFNe — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

One thing we know for sure about #COVID19—it doesn't care what your race or ethnicity is. My colleagues & I are urging the Admin to issue guidance to federal agencies on preventing & addressing anti-Asian racism & xenophobia related to this pandemic https://t.co/R8DuTgZV60 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I joined @SenBlumenthal in calling on @OSHA_DOL to provide and enforce safety standards that protect all essential workers who continue to perform their jobs during the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/PcA0OvlKKD — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It should not take something as dangerous as #COVID19 to remind us that healthcare should be equitable for every American. I’ll continue to advocate for the health & safety of communities of color as we weather this storm and in the days after it passes. https://t.co/5ONOwYckv6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Black residents make up 70% of #COVID19 deaths in Chicago. That’s disturbing—and unacceptable. As the stats come in, they highlight what many vulnerable people already know: in a nation as great as this one, there's still a large & deadly health disparity for black Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It should not take something as dangerous as #COVID19 to remind us that we must work to ensure healthcare is equitable for every single American. I’ll continue to advocate for the health & safety of communities of color as we weather this storm and in the days after it passes. — PolitiTweet.org

Read my statement about today’s political stunt by Mitch McConnell that delayed additional #COVID19 relief funding ⬇️ https://t.co/cPPppN94x3 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s clear that despite good intentions, the Paycheck Protection Program isn’t being implemented by the Trump Admin as it should be, and small businesses across Illinois & around the country still desperately need help. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our Community Health Centers are on the front lines of the fight against #COVID19, so I’m proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing more than $52m in federal funding so these health centers can keep serving Illinois throughout this crisis. https://t.co/JtojyuhyrO — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

As we’re all staying home to help stop the spread of the #COVID19 pandemic, our Illinois farmers and the biofuel industry have suffered. I joined 14 of my Senate colleagues in calling on @USDA to allocate funds to help the biofuel industry right now https://t.co/QpIvsKNAdV — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I wrote to Treasury Secretary @stevenmnuchin1 and @SBAJovita demanding they fix implementation issues that have kept @SBAgov loans from being properly administered to small business owners across the country. https://t.co/Yi5u5HXwh9 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm all in for Illinois—for our families + those on the front lines, for our neighbors + total strangers. Bc the only way we can slow #COVID19’s spread is if each of us individually acts to protect all of us collectively. Our actions today can save lives tomorrow. #AllInIllinois https://t.co/OX9u91iE6D — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

No American should be worrying about price gouging or fraudulent & counterfeit medical supplies during the #COVID19 pandemic. My colleagues & I are calling on Trump to prevent this from hurting those on the frontlines & those who need treatment https://t.co/M3WbCvR76X — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@SenatorDurbin & I wrote to Secretary Mnuchin to ask for transparency & accountability when allocating these funds & to make sure the confusing application process doesn’t hamper the ability of applicants to receive the funds intended for them. https://t.co/SeIxfUKjYV — PolitiTweet.org
