This is outrageous. There's no economic recovery without women—all women. The next time they try to deny paid family leave, sick leave and equal pay for equal work, let’s remind them about this. https://t.co/2n9vL4Mipx — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump is a fragile man with a fragile ego about to lose power and he can't stand it. https://t.co/yY8m4DEZrT — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

My thoughts are with @RepSchneider, and I wish him a full and swift recovery. It's inexcusable that Republicans laughed when asked to wear a mask and helped make last week’s Capitol violence into more of a super-spreader event. Wearing a mask isn't political. It's human decency. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

This was a failure of epic proportions. We need to know why peaceful protesters have routinely been treated worse than violent insurrectionists. I’ll keep demanding answers on this so we can make sure it never happens again. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Why is it that time after time we've seen peaceful, wheelchair-bound activists dragged out of the Capitol but last week, when a violent, Confederate-flag waving mob attacked the home of our democracy, they were allowed to wreak havoc and later *helped* down the Capitol steps? — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

After speaking with @PeteButtigieg about his nomination last week, I am confident he’ll be an effective advocate for the major infrastructure package our nation desperately needs while working tirelessly to make our transportation systems more equitable, efficient & sustainable. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We must address deeply troubling reports that certain servicemembers and military retirees violated their oaths by participating in last week's violent insurrection.   If these reports are true, the @DeptofDefense must hold these individuals accountable. https://t.co/2uaWiKRDeT — PolitiTweet.org

My deepest condolences to the family of U.S. Capitol Police Officer and fellow Veteran Brian Sicknick, who was killed defending the constitutional order against the Trump-incited mob of insurrectionists. We must bring all involved and all who contributed to his death to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I hoped this day would never come. My fellow Illinoisans, for those we’ve lost and with all the love I have for this great state, I urge you: Wear a mask. Stay home if you can. Remain diligent. Together, we can help save lives. https://t.co/ATEMxf8j6X — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepMaryMiller must resign immediately.   To say that Adolf Hitler, the perpetrator of the worst genocide in world history, is "right" about anything is disqualifying for any supposed "leader" serving in Congress. https://t.co/yfYVmM8qKX — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

And let’s not forget that Donald Trump called for 10 years in federal prison for the brave patriots who exercised their rights this summer.   Yesterday, he told the unruly, violent mob he loved them and that they were “special.” https://t.co/zniM9VsfwP — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Hundreds were arrested during *peaceful* BLM protests. Yet, only a few white supremacists were arrested when they stormed into our Capitol in an attempted coup.   Black children have been killed by police for so much less. All involved must be prosecuted to the fullest extent. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not equal justice under the law. The need for racial justice and police reform is clear. https://t.co/uuGhARXCke — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s clear Donald Trump is a threat to our nation and he should be removed from office as soon as possible. The Cabinet should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment, but if they fail to do so then Congress must immediately begin impeachment proceedings to safeguard our Republic. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We will not be intimidated by attempts to subvert our democracy. In America, the power of the people—the will of the voters—has always mattered more than the people in power. https://t.co/bFjU1dyXuB — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It’s time we get back to the work of creating a more perfect Union, spend less time fighting each other and more time fighting this deadly pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Yesterday was a painful reminder that democracy is fragile. It's up to us to work to keep it. Last night, Congress certified that Joe Biden will be the 46th President of the United States. And in just 13 days, Donald Trump will leave the White House in shame. https://t.co/59RzwuEQn9 — PolitiTweet.org

I lost my legs proudly fighting in a war I didn’t support, on the orders of a President I didn’t vote for because I believed in a government of, by and for the people. Where voters choose who leads them, not the other way around. https://t.co/O5jWygHOaW — PolitiTweet.org

Let me be clear—this will still end with Joe Biden being sworn in as President of the United States on January 20th. A mob of people following a wannabe tin-pot dictator with a fragile ego will not win, democracy will. https://t.co/j4ejhNww63 — PolitiTweet.org

As Donald Trump continues to lie about attacks on our democracy and fan the flames of debunked conspiracy theories, his supporters carrying Confederate flags are literally breaking into the U.S. Capitol to prevent elected representatives from casting their votes. — PolitiTweet.org

In November, the American people turned out in historic numbers and elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to lead our nation. History will harshly judge those who put party before country and try to overturn the will of the voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

306 to 232. That is the final, irrefutable electoral count that will be submitted and certified. The Vice President's job, as defined by the Constitution, is to *read* that count aloud. That is all. No recalculation allowed. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

During his eight years of service, Senator Manar accomplished so much for Central Illinois and our entire state—fairer school funding, expanded ballot access and more affordable insulin. I'm excited to see his proven leadership continue to benefit Illinoisans in this new role. — PolitiTweet.org
