Despite what it’s seemed like for the last 4 years, President-elect Biden is sending a clear message that America is not for sale. https://t.co/ENAhC6KKsF — PolitiTweet.org

There's a light at the end of the tunnel with news that effective COVID vaccines might be on the way, but we aren't out of the woods yet. Please help protect your loved ones and ensure our hospitals aren't overwhelmed during the holidays. Wear a mask. Social distance. — PolitiTweet.org

With his cabinet picks, Joe Biden is telling the rest of the world: America is back in business. https://t.co/sgendzZj6n — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It absolutely should not have taken this long—but I know that President-elect Biden will be ready to handle the job on day one. And now that he and his team will have access to the people, information and resources every Commander in Chief needs, they can hit the ground running. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It's about time.   Each day a peaceful transition was delayed was a day lost in ensuring we could fight this pandemic, plan for vaccine distribution, reopen our economy and be prepared to counter the national security threats facing our nation. https://t.co/Ah2ZgDO2QH — PolitiTweet.org

You'd never be expected to eat your lunch in an airport bathroom—we shouldn't ask that of our kids either. https://t.co/R1nq17a3sG — PolitiTweet.org

There's a big difference between "want" and "need."   Donald Trump wants to have won the election. Americans need COVID relief.   See the difference? — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Whether he acknowledges it or not, in 60 days, Trump will no longer reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

We don't leave Americans behind. @SenatorDurbin and I are urging @realDonaldTrump, @DeptofDefense and @SecPompeo to make sure that any negotiated settlement in Afghanistan does not overlook the need to first recover all American hostages like Mark. https://t.co/qlazuElf4U — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Mark Frerichs, an Illinoisan and Veteran, was abducted in Kabul earlier this year. Donald Trump's hasty decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan could extinguish any hope that the Frerichs family will ever see their loved one again. This cannot happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

“What’s the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time?” Donald Trump's enablers have asked. Well, his ongoing lies about his defeat pose so many threats to our national security, I decided to write them all down in an op-ed in @TIME. https://t.co/GnSIoJC1kV — PolitiTweet.org

For all the lives cut short because of transphobia, bigotry and hate, we take a moment of silence on this #TransDayOfRemembrance. Everyone deserves to be who they are, love who they want and live without fear. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Benjamin Franklin once said of America: "a republic, if you can keep it." It's time we all agree that the American experiment is bigger than one person or one party. We can choose to move forward as a nation or fall apart into our tribes. I choose the *United* States of America. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Joe Biden was elected decisively.   He will be sworn in as President on January 20th, 2021. Trump’s continued attempts to overturn the will of the people are hurting the foundation of our democracy and our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'm urging—no, begging—my Republican colleagues to finally say "enough." Enough of this nonsense.   The margins in battleground states, including those run by Republicans, are larger than Trump’s own margins were in 2016—which he describes as a “landslide.” — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Make no mistake—what Trump and his team are doing, all of the baseless attacks and conspiracy theories, will have long-lasting, tragic impacts on our country. They're sowing doubt in millions of Americans' minds that this wasn't a fair or secure election, when we know it was. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

It has been painful—downright unbearable—to watch this president and his enablers try to systematically tear down our democracy with falsehoods and unfounded, illogical conspiracies. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Donald Trump’s refusal to begin the peaceful transition of power is unwarranted and may slow down vaccine distribution, which could cost lives. President-elect Biden and his team need to be brought into the process immediately. There's not a minute to waste. Let's get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

.@SenateDems and I are making the call now—the @HHSGov and @CDCgov must identify storage gaps, provide guidance and work with underserved communities so every American can get a vaccine. https://t.co/uW9AslBb93 — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

From day one of the #COVID19 pandemic, frontline and healthcare workers went without enough PPE to take care of the rest of us. All on Donald Trump’s watch. Our nation can’t afford the same mismanagement when it comes to vaccine distribution. Americans deserve a plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I’m wearing purple to honor the 47,000 lives claimed by pancreatic cancer this year—from Illinoisans to Congressman Lewis and RBG. On World Pancreatic Cancer Day, let’s expand our research to bring about greater progress to improve patient outcomes and save lives. https://t.co/AJVEKAChpp — PolitiTweet.org

Raise your hand if you would take COVID relief over Senate Republicans' political games any day of the week 🙋🏻‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

I'll say it over and over again until I grow hoarse—serving in the military was the greatest privilege of my life. I'm glad I got to share why with @farai last week. Hope you'll take the time to listen. https://t.co/r1dbzuM0ST — PolitiTweet.org

He reminded us that our nation was conceived in liberty and that all men are created equal. While the road is long, may we continue the work to move our nation closer to that more perfect union where every man—and woman—is equal, regardless of the color of their skin. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln asked a divided nation to come together by remembering our core values in his Gettysburg Address: A government of the people, by the people and for the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Instead of prioritizing the health and well-being of Americans—not to mention the millions of small businesses who desperately need help right now—what are Republicans doing? Confirming right-wing judges and letting Trump rant, rave and spew falsehoods about an election he lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth

Our adversaries are watching us right now—and this Coward in Chief is sowing chaos when we most need stability and exposing his weakness to those who wish us harm. https://t.co/RwBix0Rznh — PolitiTweet.org

It's time to end the stigma around homelessness. Before this pandemic even began, 1.5 million children and youth were reported as experiencing homelessness—a record. And COVID is only making it worse. This #NRPM, please help share these resources so no child is left behind. — PolitiTweet.org
