Aviation industry workers have been hit hard by #COVID19 & the confusing application process to get relief funding, which was included in the CARES Act, is not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to advocate with @SenatorDurbin for federal funding that helps people with HIV in Illinois access the affordable housing and resources they need to stay safe, especially amid the public health and economic crisis that is the #COVID19 pandemic: https://t.co/pzrYZYYJQm — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet Maile Pearl. Your middle name is in honor of Great Aunt Pearl, a badass Army nurse who served in WWII. You’ve brought us endless joy & shown your own badass side every day since https://t.co/EwnrBeXwDZ — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #Passover! Though this year may look different as we all hunker down to stop the spread of #COVID19, I hope everyone celebrating tonight can find ways to connect w/loved ones through things like virtual Seders so we can all #StayHomeAndStaySafe while having a joyous holiday https://t.co/KghNEY1Re2 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Was grateful to hear from @OSFHealthCare that its staff has created a "virtual hospital" that provides COVID-19 screenings to help minimize the risk of community spread. Learn more here: https://t.co/dU07Rk2YV9 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I joined @ChrisMurphyCT, @SenatorBaldwin and @SenatorDurbin in urging Trump to reopen the Affordable Care Act marketplace, which would provide an easy pathway to coverage for millions of uninsured Americans during the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/JUmm0ZoINX — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to have worked with @afscme @afscme31 on this, and I'm working to include it in any future relief package. #fundthefrontlines #protectworkers https://t.co/pQF5p8pOrq — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Illinois workers on the frontline against the #COVID19 pandemic deserve strong, federal protections to guarantee a safe & healthy workplace. That's one of the reasons why I introduced legislation requiring OSHA to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect frontline workers — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Heartbroken by this news. Our brave first responders are on the frontlines of responding to the #COVID19 pandemic every day and we owe so much to them. My thoughts are with Mario Araujo's family and the CFD for this immense loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

His continued efforts to sideline & silence independent public servants is disturbing. As our nation struggles to address a COVID-19 pandemic made much worse by his Administration’s slow response, Trump’s focus should be on serving the American people https://t.co/CAAKoNy8jt — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Dems worked to ensure oversight was a critical part of the bipartisan #COVID19 relief package. From the beginning, literally while signing the bill, Trump threatened to disregard these measures&now, we’re seeing him take add'l steps to prevent oversight right before our own eyes. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@SenatorDurbin and I joined @ChrisVanHollen in writing two bipartisan letters seeking clarity on #COVID19 unemployment benefits and work opportunities for @AmeriCorps and @PeaceCorps volunteers. https://t.co/bpt5HFFJWx — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

3 days after this memo was sent to Trump, he literally said that "we’re going to be pretty soon at only 5 people" with #COVID19. His administration knew that wasn't true, but didn’t say anything--and our nation lost precious time to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Last week, Donald Trump said "nobody could have predicted something like this." This is a picture of a memo sent *to him* 5 weeks earlier warning that #COVID19 could infect 100 million & KILL 2 million Americans. In times of crisis, the American people deserve honest leaders. https://t.co/7CZViXaUQR — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My colleagues and I are calling on the Trump admin to ensure that the most vulnerable small businesses have access to the important financial resources authorized by the bipartisan #COVID19 relief package passed last month. Read our letter here: https://t.co/JJZa8A8rsu — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s about time. Glad the @US_FDA finally heeded my call to change its discriminatory policy, prioritizing medical science over bigotry. This new rule isn’t perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction—and a step that’s more important now than ever. https://t.co/bUXoDaWJMQ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Keeping Illinoisans healthy and minimizing the impact of #COVID19 is crucial right now, and I’ll keep working alongside @SenatorDurbin to help bring home more federal resources and funding to limit the spread of the virus causing this disease. https://t.co/Sj9EGrtjLZ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Modly’s comments are the opposite of the clear & steady leadership the Navy needs during this crisis. I can reach no other conclusion than this situation has overwhelmed his ability to act professionally when acting professionally was what was needed most. He must resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

During the #COVID19 crisis, the Trump Admin should make receiving your stimulus payment as easy as possible. My colleagues&I are asking the Admin to automatically send checks to recipients of @DeptVetAffairs or Supplemental Security Income program benefits https://t.co/2ksFiendiW — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Proud to join @SenatorDurbin to announce this federal funding, which will go a long way towards ensuring that our transportation systems overcome the challenges of this public health crisis. https://t.co/zxrEDp8CIs — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Public transit agencies across #Illinois are facing historic challenges that reflect the necessary and important precautions communities are taking to combat the #COVID19 pandemic, and it’s critical that we provide these agencies with the means to weather this storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

If Trump wants to be seen as a "wartime president," he needs to start acting like one. That means spending his time actually ordering the equipment that would save American lives rather than bragging about his latest TV ratings. My op-ed for @USATODAY: https://t.co/wW481jTNFC — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I wrote to @SecWilkie requesting that @DeptVetAffairs act swiftly to cover the costs of #COVID2019 treatment under VA’s Foreign Medical Program (FMP) for Veterans living and traveling abroad. https://t.co/fWQR8Tuyk4 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

...Donald Trump instead chose to remind everyone that his true priorities remain corruptly retaliating against his perceived enemies and preventing legitimate, lawful oversight of his actions. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Once again, Donald Trump puts his own self-interest ahead of the public interest. At a time when the American people need their leader to be laser-focused on fighting the #COVID19 public health crisis and saving lives... (1/2) https://t.co/dR4l1z6MXP — PolitiTweet.org

This is not right, our National Guard troops deserve to be taken care of, not to have to worry about their healthcare. I’ve spoken directly @EsperDoD about fixing this and will continue working until we fix it. https://t.co/nda3ZdfTAK — PolitiTweet.org
