I visited the USS Theodore Roosevelt in Nov. and met many of the sailors on board. These servicemembers pledge their lives to protect us, they deserve the same commitment in return. I've joined my colleagues on Armed Services committee to call for action to help our Navy crews. https://t.co/x2qWTHnx5H — PolitiTweet.org

Today's #EqualPayDay marks the 91 extra days it takes a woman to earn what her male counterpart earned in 2019. As #COVID19 exacerbates this inequality, it's past time to close the pay gap for women. https://t.co/3E9CWmwkKx — PolitiTweet.org

For #TransVisibilityDay I'm honored to show my support for trans people across the country. During this public health crisis, trans people are vulnerable to being denied health care due to discrimination. This kind of intolerance doesn't just hurt some of us, it hurts all of us. https://t.co/H1W2Pk8PuQ — PolitiTweet.org

This global emergency has shown us what we already knew: we are nothing without our workers. This #CesarChavezDay, let us thank and honor our nation’s workers—especially those on the front lines of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

You may have heard that the #CARESAct provides direct cash payments to Americans to mitigate some of the financial stress #COVID19 is having on workers and families. If you are wondering what these paid rebates will mean for you, check our page: https://t.co/4ouiXi3hKi https://t.co/x0x2BswbFH — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, the #CARESAct became law. It included two bills I authored: ✅The Preventing Drug Shortages Act will help address the critical issue of drug shortages that affect patient care and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 health emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Not all superheroes wear capes. Right now, our nation's heroes wear scrubs. While we're grateful for the tremendous commitment of our health care workers under normal circumstances, this #NationalDoctorsDay especially highlights their relentless determination to help others. https://t.co/Lm435irRuK — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI: the president has extended all federal #COVID19 social distancing guidelines through April 30, as CA's stay-at-home order remains in place until further notice. I urge San Diegans to continue to #stayhome. #Socialdistancingworks and saves lives. https://t.co/c7EIS7EvVC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters

Just before the Senate passed the #CARESAct, I talked with @nbcsandiego about how the bill would help San Diegans through direct payments, expanded unemployment insurance, and increased support for small businesses. While certainly not a silver bullet solution, it's a start. https://t.co/5WCnNc5Qur — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters

Due to the #COVID19 emergency, @CoveredCA has expanded its Special Enrollment Period. Uninsured Californians, including those who've lost coverage through an employer, who meet eligibility requirements can sign up for health care through June 30th, 2020. https://t.co/WwE6ZbqksJ — PolitiTweet.org

Americans who were already struggling to pay off college debt are now facing even greater financial strain.
