I flew Blackhawks in a war zone & was never trained or allowed to fly so low over civilians, like what we saw earlier this month in DC. I pressed FAA Adm. Dickson about the dangers of these actions & won't stop until we have answers. https://t.co/WskvvH6u30
The wounds of slavery are still with us today – we can do better & we should do better. We can start by taking down Confederate monuments and renaming military bases so they no longer honor those who took up arms against our country to keep Black Americans. https://t.co/zPouR4RbhG
In the aftermath the #COVID19 crisis, programs like Head Start will be critical to giving kids the tools they need to succeed inside & outside of the classroom. Joining @SenatorDurbin to announce $13m in federal funds to early education in the Chicago-area https://t.co/OvOpMM4FQu
As if #COVID19 hasn’t threatened our military readiness enough, this policy further restricted our pool of eligible military recruits. Glad to see @EsperDoD rescind this misguided ban so more recruits can have the opportunity to serve & help keep us safe. https://t.co/ilopJXTZ7d QT @SenDuckworth: I'm concerned by new interim Department of Defense guidance that would block some survivors of #COVID19 from joinin… https://t.co/bTq4Z2GiHf)
I voted by mail in 2004 when I was serving overseas. It's a safe, secure & accessible system. Our Vets are especially vulnerable during this pandemic—so when Trump attacks vote by mail, he's attacking our Veterans' constitutional right to vote that they fought to defend. https://t.co/3vxk6fEEZQ
I had a productive call with @IllinoisPCA & community health center leaders from across IL today their challenges during #COVID19. I’ll keep working to make sure our front line health workers & CHCs have the support and resources they deserve https://t.co/X54VoUQDvf
An important @PBS documentary about the contributions and challenges of Asian Americans is premiering tonight at 7:00CT. My interview appears in tomorrow night’s episode, which airs at the same time. Hope you can tune in! #AsianAmPBS QT @chicagotribune: U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth is among famous Asian-Americans sharing their experiences on a new PBS documentary. https://t.co/JaKeyA91xT)
It is unacceptable that during the national #COVID19 crisis Governors of both parties - including @GovPritzker - cannot trust @fema to work w/them in a transparent and collaborative manner. I'm asking @DHSOIG to investigate the Trump Administration's secretive task force. QT @AmyJBrittain: NEW: Vice President Pence has repeatedly overstated the amount of PPE delivered through the administration's signa… https://t.co/3q1TNyi1qU)
Just as picking up a rifle to defend our country is “American Service,” so is helping out a food pantry for those at risk of hunger, assisting students with remote education & helping patients make critical health care decisions. Let’s expand @AmeriCorps to respond to #COVID19.
W/families across America struggling to get by during #COVID19, we should do everything we can to help. That’s 1 reason I joined @SenatorDurbin & @SenSherrodBrown in calling for Congress to put $ back in working families’ pockets by expanding tax credits https://t.co/T4zJuWU5mE
Unfortunately I am not surprising by this move from a narcissistic five time draft dodging walking failure of a Commander in Chief l. What surprises me is that the military chain of command are willing to jeopardize these cadets’ well-being instead of standing up to him QT @tripgabriel: To accommodate Trump’s sudden decision to speak at West Point, cadets will be called back, tested off campus, then… https://t.co/w0Y65Xn6lh)
The readiness of this critical branch of the Armed Services cannot he compromised, especially as the nation is battling the #COVID19 health pandemic.
Proud to join @SenatorDurbin to announce more than $108 million in federal support that helps @GovPritzker support Illinois students and schools in need right now. Read more here: https://t.co/WR2hzeVTX1
Illinois had its deadliest weekend from the #COVID19 pandemic & we need more tests, more contact tracing, more ventilators & more #PPE. We aren't getting it. It's basically criminal what Trump is doing when it comes to failing the provide the resources all of our states need. https://t.co/MbgIIKatEV
Here’s a fun #TBT: One year ago this month, I was proud to co-headline the LGBTQ @VictoryFund gala with @PeteButtigieg — and Maile got to come along too! I’m so proud of everything he’s accomplished since then with his history-making campaign and lucky to call him a friend. https://t.co/8qeQ1x8YLh
Democrats also refuse to leave the healthcare heroes of the #COVID19 pandemic, or smaller hospitals on the verge of collapse, behind. That’s what we’re fighting for here. Without them, we’re all at risk. 4/5
…but funding must go to community lenders that will get dollars to the #SmallBusinesses that need it most but have been left behind by the big banks. We want to work across the aisle, but Republicans continue to block efforts to help those on the front lines of this crisis. 3/5
Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans AND the Trump administration all support adding an additional $250 billion to the @SBAgov’s #PaycheckProtectionProgram. There is *no* debate over helping small businesses... 2/5
