Congress just passed the COVID relief bill & it’s heading to Biden’s desk! What does it mean for you? - $1400 checks for you AND adult dependents 💸 - On top of that, up to $3600 per child over several payments 🧒🏽 - Cont’d $300 UI for 6 mos - $10,200 in UI income won’t be taxed — PolitiTweet.org

A key part of successful vaccine rollout? Community! Since COVID hit last year, we’ve worked w/ partners like First Baptist to set up relief & COVID testing. Our latest work: setting up pop-up vaccine sites w/ trusted partners in under-vaccinated communities. A major success!⛑ https://t.co/SQGZPKMyWn — PolitiTweet.org

Trans kids are awesome, incredible, beautiful, and wonderful. Bigotry is not. Republicans need to stop obsessing over other people’s gender identity bc frankly it’s very weird and they’re doing a lot of harm to children who are just trying to be themselves. #LetKidsPlay 🏳️‍⚧️💕 — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine having the ganas to go home and ask minimum wage workers to support you after going back on your own documented stance to help crush their biggest chance at a wage hike during their longest drought of wage increases since the law’s very inception. Sin vergüenza. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a responsibility to show people in this country what a Democratic majority can do for working people. That means more generous relief checks, $15 min wage, ending the filibuster to protect our democracy. It’s a once-in-generation shot, and we need to legislate like it. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Conservative Dems have fought so the Biden admin sends fewer & less generous relief checks than the Trump admin did. It’s a move that makes little-to-no political or economic sense, and targets an element of relief that is most tangibly felt by everyday people. An own-goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The actual crisis is how entire generations are sunk w/inhumane levels of student debt, low incomes, high rent, no guarantee of healthcare & little action on climate change which creates a situation where feeling stable enough to have a kid can feel more like a luxury than a norm — PolitiTweet.org

It is utterly embarrassing that “pay people enough to live” is a stance that’s even up for debate. Override the parliamentarian and raise the wage. McD’s workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. $15/hr is a deep compromise - a big one, considering the phase in. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This endangers the entire country and beyond. We are in a pandemic. We know that COVID spread isn’t neatly contained by state borders, and explosions in COVID cases can increase the likelihood of new COVID variants to develop or spread to new places. It’s dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

93.2% of Texans aren’t fully vaccinated. The state just endured one disaster worsened by selfishness + denial of basic science, and now conditions are being set for another. Repealing the mask mandate now endangers so many people, especially essential workers & the vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress needs to allocate enough funds so that internships can be paid. It currently does not. There’s some scant funding there, but it’s not nearly enough to pay for the # of interns that actually work here. It’s not ok. We should set an example & grow the MRA to pay interns. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Pay your interns! It’ll improve your operation and make it more diverse and just. You won’t be relying on privilege to subsidize staffing and your interns can do better work that they’re proud of when they aren’t exhausted working 2-3 jobs to subsidize one. We pay ours $15/hr. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t care what Cruz said at CPAC, but I do care that it appears Texas was just a layover stop for him between Cancun and Orlando to drop a pack of water into someone’s trunk and abandon his constituents again as they get slammed with $16,000 electrical bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett’s detailed accounts of sexual harassment by Gov. Cuomo are extremely serious and painful to read. There must be an independent investigation - not one led by an individual selected by the Governor, but by the office of the Attorney General. — PolitiTweet.org
