Today is Gun Violence Prevention Day. It is my pleasure to wear orange and support such a worthy cause. #WearOrange https://t.co/SGZwd43BZo — PolitiTweet.org

There is NO excuse for using force and tear gas on peaceful protesters anywhere in this country. I signed a letter to demand an immediate investigation into Trump's actions in Lafayette Square. We need to stop this abuse of Americans. https://t.co/LyQZ2PrQV3 https://t.co/H7VkExsMal — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day! As we mourn the loss of George Floyd, we must #WearOrange today to also remember the Americans we have lost to gun violence. We need to stop these preventable tragedies from occurring nationwide. https://t.co/apPF40yR5U — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

Today is a National Day of Mourning. I plan to take time today to honor the life & memory of #GeorgeFloyd and think about how we achieve justice for his loved ones and countless others impacted by racial injustice. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd https://t.co/LNQqlm8C07 — PolitiTweet.org

George Floyd's murderer will be charged with 2nd-degree murder and new charges for the officers who allowed it to happen. It is another important step towards justice for George Floyd. https://t.co/iUgiL82PjZ — PolitiTweet.org

When you have police officers who abuse citizens, you erode public confidence in law enforcement. That makes it difficult for good police officers to do their job. #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter — PolitiTweet.org

I'm extremely proud of my friends and constituents in Newark for their peaceful protests concerning the death of George Floyd. You are a great example of how to exercise your Constitutional rights in a country designed to protect them. https://t.co/VpMcNjXmLG https://t.co/59baqWdOe1 — PolitiTweet.org

Very pleased to hear that Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General, will lead all cases related to George Floyd's murder. I spent six years with him in Congress. He is a fair and honorable man and I know he will mete out justice for George Floyd. https://t.co/sX0eMmu6Fk https://t.co/u70NmkIl24 — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

Since George Floyd's murder, I've spoken with Congressional colleagues about the best way to introduce bills to combat police brutality. What happened to George Floyd can't happen anymore. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/zAFOLIuW4z https://t.co/5DAMrXtzAg — PolitiTweet.org

@MLConklin No, the Constitution states the election must happen at the assigned date. If the election is postponed and neither Trump nor Biden elected, then the Speaker of the House would become president until an election. So it would be President Pelosi, if she wins her election. — PolitiTweet.org

@man_of_steel6 I am sorry to hear about your experience. Call the office again right now and see if you have better luck (973) 645-3213. If you still get voicemail, call my DC office at (202) 225-3436. That should get you someone. If it doesn't, let me know immediately. Thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to vote today to give small businesses more flexibility with their coronavirus stimulus loans and grants. Now, we need to pass the Heroes Act to get critical aid to state and local governments. #FamiliesFirst #HeroesAct https://t.co/v6eTR66EXg — PolitiTweet.org

I've been a strong supporter of Dr. Fakorede's work for years. He is truly fighting for the least of us and improving health care for African Americans who might not get it without him.

The only way we are going to get back to normal is increased testing for coronavirus. I wrote a letter, with support from the entire NJ Congressional delegation, to ask FEMA to continue funding our state's two federal testing centers and help us get to 25,000 tests per day. https://t.co/KJgR9xHspv — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I wrote a letter to United Airlines about their failure to give refunds to customers who had to cancel travel plans due to the coronavirus. They seem more open to refunds now, but let me know if you have any issues when you apply. Visit https://t.co/bfo58rAO0E. https://t.co/nk9N1jlw7i — PolitiTweet.org
