FEMA will be operating & is authorized for $2 billion as of now. Program is retroactive & will reimburse back to January 2020. Start collecting docs now. FEMA will need expense documentation (receipts/invoices), death certificate, & docs for caller ID. Includes the undocumented. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It’s official. If you’ve lost a loved one due to COVID-19, you will soon be able to get reimbursed up to $7,000 for the expenses of laying a loved one to rest. Proud and thankful to have gotten this done with @SenSchumer, @voceslatinasQNY, @Elmcor, & @HispanicFed. — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the same folks who said “defunding huge PD budgets & shifting $ to schools is too hard to explain” are now saying “Well $1400 is actually $2k if you recall the $600 from a diff president, carry the 1- yes I know ads showed $2k checks, but thresholds-” Just help people! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

If you use West Virginia cost of living #s to bring down relief for everyone, millions are left in the cold. That’s what $50k does. Cutting checks to account for Queens/higher COL overall is a win-win. Lower COL get more bang for their buck, higher COL get their needs met. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The borough of Queens has a higher population than the entire state of West Virginia. We should do what helps both instead of one. If we cut relief checks to account for higher cost of living, BOTH Queens & West Virginia get help. WV actually comes out ahead due to lower COL. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Some who discount our proposals by saying “reps from urban & suburban areas don’t get other places” don’t seem to apply that consideration themselves. A $50k threshold is totally disconnected from the reality of tens of millions of people. So let’s talk Queens & West Virginia: — PolitiTweet.org

@hlg1964 Contact your member of Congress. They can help you track it down. This also applies to other things like social security, etc. My staff has been able to track down lots of money for people in our community. Find your member of Congress here: https://t.co/t177CriorL — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic hit in 2020. We should not use 2019 income to determine relief eligibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

In conclusion, $50k is wack and we shouldn’t do wack things. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

It would be outrageous if we ran on giving more relief and ended up doing the opposite. It’s sad that this is even an argument in the Dem party. COVID relief is disaster relief, & it’s urgent. Our first act out of the gate should be big, bold, and strong. Not weaker & smaller. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Cunningham pledged to never take corporate PAC money, and he never did. Mace said she’ll cash every check she gets. Yet another way this is a downgrade. https://t.co/DytsQXKXgU — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

What’s even more gross is that Mace takes corporate PAC money. She’s already funded by corporations. Now she’s choosing to swindle working people on top of it. Peak scam artistry. Caps for cash 💰 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Joe Cunningham already proving to be leagues more decent + honest than Mace seems capable of. The House was far better off w/ Cunningham. It’s sad to see Mace diminish the representation of her community by launching a reputation of craven dishonesty right off the bat. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Pretty horrible. Well, it’s good to know what kind of person she is early. Also good to know that Mace is cut from the same Trump cloth of dishonesty and opportunism. Sad to see a colleague intentionally hurt other women and survivors to make a buck. Thought she’d be better. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon workers have the right to form a union. Anti-union tactics like these, especially from a trillion-dollar company trying to disrupt essential workers from organizing for better wages and dignified working conditions in a pandemic, are wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

We should preserve what was there and not peg it to outdated 2019 income. People need help! — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

If conservative Senate Dems institute a lower income threshold in the next round of checks, that could potentially mean the first round of checks under Trump help more people than the first round under Biden. Do we want to do that? No? Then let’s stop playing & just help people. — PolitiTweet.org
