Spoke w/leaders from @UniteHerelocal1 today about my efforts to help workers who’ve lost their jobs as a result of this pandemic. Congress must step in & help mitigate the impact of this pandemic by ensuring continued access to health insurance & enhanced unemployment benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Postmaster General DeJoy needs to do more than simply suspend the harmful changes he’s made at @USPS. Mail delivery is already delayed & the damage has been done. DeJoy needs to permanently rescind his harmful policies immediately. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org

I'm joining @SenDuckworth & my @SenateDems colleagues to call on @USPS to reconsider any new policies that could result in delayed mail delivery to our nation's 1.3 million servicemembers and their families. You can read our letter here: https://t.co/7XN3yiENip — PolitiTweet.org

American servicemembers rely on @USPS for the delivery of medications, bills, letters from home, and so much more—including ballots. Any attempt to make absentee voting more difficult amounts to disenfranchising the very Americans serving & sacrificing on the frontlines. — PolitiTweet.org

That's why @SenDuckworth & I spoke with @illinoissbe & @USPS staff yesterday to ensure that every Illinoisan has full & safe access to the ballot box in November, whether that's through vote-by-mail, early voting, or visiting their polling place on Election Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Missed doses. Delayed care. Health risks. The efforts to undermine @USPS deliveries could drastically harm Illinoisans who rely on mail-order prescriptions. I wrote to orgs like @aarpillinois & @IHAhospitals to learn more about what's at stake for the communities they serve. https://t.co/Vo9HIlgdjq — PolitiTweet.org

The President’s attacks on @USPS are an attack on our nation’s veterans and seniors. Is his re-election more important than delivering vets’ their medications on time? Or than delivering social security checks to seniors? Senate Republicans will soon have to pick a side. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s undeniable that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, likely on behalf of the Trump campaign. And they are already back at it again in this election. Senate Republicans need to put politics aside & stop blocking legislation to secure our elections. https://t.co/xOh78jQw5o — PolitiTweet.org

Postmaster DeJoy needs to understand two fundamentals: (1) it's the Postal Service not the Postal Company—its goal is SERVICE first. And (2) if DeJoy allows this President play with the integrity of @USPS for political advantage, history will remember him as a political stooge. — PolitiTweet.org

The 19th Amendment was ratified 100 yrs ago today, giving women the right to vote. As we celebrate this historic day & the brave suffragettes who serve as an inspiration to so many, we cannot forget that it did not end the struggle for voting rights—especially for women of color. — PolitiTweet.org

The President’s executive order is a weak political stunt. Three weeks of enhanced unemployment is not enough to provide 30 million American workers with the certainty and financial support they deserve. Congress needs to step up & address this crisis. https://t.co/ClquxkSbSq — PolitiTweet.org
