We have already seen layoffs and fishing season closures, and it’s crucial that we support fishermen and ensure they have access to emergency grants & other assistance as they face the unprecedented challenges of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

Thousands of fishermen in the Pacific Northwest & across the nation will now have access to funding and other forms of financial relief from @NOAA. https://t.co/ySbvOGZDpD — PolitiTweet.org

I asked @DeptofEd to provide clear guidance to districts and lead agencies to ensure that students with disabilities receive appropriate education during the #COVID19 crisis. https://t.co/v4oMCivi7j — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

As schools close and transition to online instruction to help control the spread of #COVID19, I’m concerned about the impact of these closures on students with disabilities. https://t.co/QCGyKp774e — PolitiTweet.org

We must ensure that Americans have access to life-saving blood transfusions in the midst of the #COVID19 outbreak. https://t.co/yg7KmhmgJb — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

The #COVID19 pandemic has spurred a nationwide shortage of donated blood, but @US_FDA continues to enforce a discriminatory donor deferral policy. I urged FDA to update its blood donor policies in favor of ones that are grounded in science & allow all healthy Americans to donate. — PolitiTweet.org

This week I joined @RepAdamSmith to ask the CEO of the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma what steps they are taking to plan, mitigate, and respond to any potential #COVID19 outbreak at NWDC, and to assure the health and wellbeing of detained individuals & staff at NWDC. — PolitiTweet.org

In WA, that means workers will have 39 weeks of unemployment insurance. More than 3.7 million Washingtonians will get $1,200 checks, and parents will get an additional $500 per child. Americans need help making ends meet while they help us beat this #COVID19 virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

The relief package the Senate passed last night will provide immediate help by getting laid off workers an additional $600 a week on their unemployment benefits until July 31 and provide an additional 13 weeks of benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

#COVID19 is impacting every part of our lives, and today’s jobless report underscores the economic effects on Washingtonians. Last week alone, unemployment claims in our state increased by 843 percent. https://t.co/BBwrMK96P1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

The state of Washington desperately needs this help, and Democrats pushed for more oversight and transparency to make sure we knew where these dollars were being spent. More on how this #COVID19 bill helps Washingtonians here: https://t.co/O2hLcDuutG https://t.co/izyy2HmSzq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We all know there’s more work to do. But let's get these dollars to the front line, to our hospitals, to our states for better equipment & for more supplies. Let's support them in fighting this disease and seeing this through to the other side. https://t.co/E7Hj74c3Oe — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

On the #COVID19 relief package - We must not only take care of unemployment benefits, but also make sure that people experiencing unemployment have access to health care. We can't be in the midst of a pandemic and not give people affordable access to #healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We must try to lessen the economic impacts that our small businesses are feeling as a result of social distancing or shelter-in-place. They’ve been hit hard & are counting on us, so I hope @SBAgov will urgently dispatch the $360 billion in grants & loans in this program. https://t.co/I9aqra8Cx8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell

We are responding today with more help for our state - more money for hospitals, for protective gear, for testing, and to support our state, local, and Tribal governments as they continue the effort to try to stop this disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell
