Thank you for all your hard work serving our sick and vulnerable during this pandemic. And what a grand Louisiana salute to go out on! 🎭⚜️ — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

State and local govts are taking a huge hit in their finances because the federal govt asked them to shut down. We must continue to support families, employers and local govts throughout this crisis & allow our local economies to quickly bounce back once restrictions are lifted. https://t.co/qAu6ZoKvLU — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

My bipartisan SMART Fund is designed to deliver aid to state & local govts in equal tranches: 1/3 based on population size 1/3 based on #COVID19 infection rates 1/3 based on state revenue losses This formula ensures that hardest-hit states, like Louisiana, get their fair share. https://t.co/Sh9SLXreLx — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana continues to recover from devastating flooding in 2016. These funds allow Livingston Parish to make their schools whole so that children can continue to learn in the quality school they deserve. https://t.co/jm3A0QwNTB — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I'm thankful for Louisiana U.S. Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, who with the Ransdell Act of 1930, created the modern National Institutes of Health, which is on the frontlines battling the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/SsnDBQOxFZ — PolitiTweet.org

But if there’s help from the federal government, then these essential services can be preserved and downtown Shreveport is more likely to safely reopen for commerce. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

For example, Shreveport just revealed it’s estimating a $20 million hit to its budget, with law enforcement suffering a $3.9 million hit alone, which would eliminate 54 positions. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

The SMART Fund is about helping cities & states preserve essential services such as police, fire & sanitation workers for the reopening of our economy. @economics_ma predicts that 3 million of these workers will be laid off if the federal govt doesn’t step in & provide support. https://t.co/hMNuI045wT — PolitiTweet.org

The #PPP was implemented to help #SmallBiz keep their employees on the payroll & their doors open, not to allow @PPFA to wrongfully apply for $80M in loans. I’m urging AG Barr to investigate these inappropriate actions and take necessary steps to punish those responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Republicans & Dems came together to provide unemployment assistance for those who lost their jobs due to #COVID19. With economies reopening, people can return to work. But paying people more to stay home than to resume working is not a recipe for success. https://t.co/keepl5sYlM — PolitiTweet.org

The Food Bank of NE Louisiana is holding pop-up food distributions today & tomorrow for those affected by the #COVID19 pandemic. Today’s distribution is at the Bastrop Municipal Center at 9 am & tomorrow’s will be held at the Monroe Civic Center at 10 am. https://t.co/hV10B1DXo9 — PolitiTweet.org

Please join me for a virtual discussion today at 11:30 a.m. CT with @Axios as we talk about long-term care in nursing homes during the #COVID19 pandemic. You can register for the event at the link below 👇 https://t.co/tRqb7EFbzN — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

That’s why my SMART Fund is needed to help restore these essential services. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Louisiana is projected to lose nearly half of its tax revenue over the next year due to #COVID19 and with many of our state’s festivals canceled, our state and local governments are in desperate need of help to pay their police, fire and sanitation workers. https://t.co/cA7NSI5lfT — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: Today's launch has been scrubbed due to unfavorable weather. @SpaceX will attempt its next launch on Saturday at 3:22 pm ET. — PolitiTweet.org

For the first time since 2011, American astronauts will launch into space from US soil when the @SpaceX Crew Dragon lifts off into orbit around 3:30 pm CT. A fun fact - crewman Douglas Hurley is a @Tulane grad! Don't miss this spectacular launch. 💫🚀 https://t.co/wzdLjsFVw4 — PolitiTweet.org

Using future cavern space through a commercial leasing program can generate sustainable revenues for @USTreasury, greater returns for the taxpayer and ensure the long-term operational capacity of the SPR. — PolitiTweet.org

As the world’s largest oil and gas producer, the U.S. should continue to maximize its spare capacity at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. https://t.co/8ddTZkGQaB — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to have the endorsement of the Louisiana House Appropriations Committee and House Speaker @SchexnayderClay for the SMART Fund. Louisiana’s communities must maintain their essential services, like fire and police protection, if we are to recover from the impact of #COVID19. https://t.co/zrm5xSbaEY — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

It is so important that we safely get people back to work and back in school. We can do this with a smart testing strategy that focuses on high-risk people and hotspots to shut down spread before it gets out of hand again. https://t.co/ywFeCO8iBi — PolitiTweet.org

This #MemorialDay, Laura and I are remembering the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting to protect our great nation. It is because of them that we are able to enjoy freedom and prosperity in America. https://t.co/BY5BpJcxOX — PolitiTweet.org

If we don’t do something to get children back in school safely, students, families and society will bear the cost. We can’t let this generation of children miss out on prime educational opportunities. Let’s put our kids first. https://t.co/WV0FsAH5He — PolitiTweet.org
