We must expand & improve #COVID19 testing before we reopen the country. If we take action without knowing where we stand in combatting this pandemic, we risk rolling back all of our efforts thus far and putting lives in danger https://t.co/v5vQ6Ntych — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s get through this crisis before attempting to choke the life out of the very entities established to navigate such international crises. The fight against coronavirus will not be won by just focusing on the U.S. but by ending this pandemic around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Infectious disease outbreaks around the world threaten Americans here at home. As thousands die because of COVID-19, the president must take some responsibility for his own actions and let the medical experts in the United States and around the globe do their job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Cutting off funding to the World Health Organization in the middle of a global pandemic is irresponsible, irrational and simply the wrong thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Deflecting blame is not the way to save lives and get our nation and the world through this global public health crisis. Yet again, @POTUS chastises others for perceived mistakes while falsely claiming his response to the COVID-19 outbreak was perfect. https://t.co/BX5XpERvqu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Small businesses owners can't wait for relief funds. @senatemajldr must open up bipartisan negotiations on the next #COVID19 stimulus bill so we can come up with a plan that's fair for all small businesses and ensures that those from underserved communities don't get left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

My call today w/@mayorbcyoung & the MD delegation underscored the urgent need for additional federal funds to support our local gov't. Local economies have been hit hard, while emergency response needs continue to grow. #COVID19 relief must target funds to those on the frontlines — PolitiTweet.org

Access to quality health care is critical, especially during the #COVID19 crisis. Marylanders, there's still time to sign up for coverage through @MarylandConnect's special enrollment period. You have until June 15th to find a plan that fits your needs. #GetCoveredMD — PolitiTweet.org

Reports have come out that the IRS has begun disbursing the $1,200 direct relief payments. For those who don't normally file tax returns, the IRS has a new website where you can enter your info to get your check as soon as possible. Visit https://t.co/n2KAunwMC3 to learn more. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re learning more about how #COVID19 affects our communities, facing rising cases and responding to the influx of small businesses & workers reaching out for assistance.  In order to tackle new demands, we must work together and target funding & support where it's needed most. — PolitiTweet.org

States need help from the federal government to support efforts to save lives, protect residents and medical workers, and safeguard our communities during this pandemic. We can't stop fighting for resources for those on the frontlines. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress worked together to create #SmallBiz relief programs in the #CARESAct. Now let's work together to make sure they work and reach all business owners struggling to access the funds they need to survive this crisis.

I'm especially grateful for the @MDNG citizen soldiers for constructing the new field hospital at the Baltimore Convention Center as well as #COVID19 screening sites throughout the state. Maryland communities are safer & stronger because of their swift action & dedicated service. — PolitiTweet.org

Extending full health & housing benefits to members of the national guard as they serve on the frontlines of our states' #COVID19 response should be a given. I'm glad the Admin finally changed course to get them the benefits they deserve for risking their lives to keep us safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Total funding required for emergency economic injury grants for #smallbiz is currently at $11.4B, but Congress only provided $10 billion. It needs more funding now. The plan from @Senatemajldr is incomplete. — PolitiTweet.org

Total funding required for #SmallBiz Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) is at $11.4B but Congress only provided $7.3B in loan authority. It needs more funding now. The plan from @senatemajldr is incomplete. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Small businesses need capital now so they can retain workers and stay in business. Merely adding more money to PPP won't help #SmallBiz being locked out by big banks. We have a chance to fix the program and add $. We need to do both. @senatemajldr's stunt fails to address this. https://t.co/81jLyutH5x — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Reports of #COVID19’s disproportionate impact on Black Americans & communities of color can't be ignored. Addressing health disparities, as well as gaps in access to treatment & care,is vital to combating this crisis. The admin must ensure this data's made available to the public — PolitiTweet.org

We in Congress have a duty to ensure that all the economic relief programs at @SBAgov are delivering adequate support to small businesses in every community, so every business owner can make an informed decision about what’s best for their employees and their business. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm calling on the @SBAgov & @USTreasury to reserve Paycheck Protection Program funding for small businesses in underserved communities, including those owned by minorities, women & veterans. We must ensure that no one falls through the cracks as we implement this program. https://t.co/CwRzSyK4RT — PolitiTweet.org
