This new program won’t work for every business, but it’s a way of directing limited resources to those with the greatest need. You can learn more about my bill here: https://t.co/sVbE2DfmZs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Just this week, I announced a bill that will target aid to the businesses most at-risk of closing permanently from this pandemic. It will allow smaller businesses with 100 employees or fewer to take out a second PPP loan if they’ve experienced severe revenue loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

PPP has now directed loans to millions of American businesses & prevented millions from shutting down, including those that struggled to gain access initially. I’m proud to have helped draft this program & I’m committed to continue working to improve & expand this program’s reach — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I recommend this @washingtonpost report about the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The program has had its flaws, especially at the outset when the smallest, most vulnerable businesses struggled to access the loan, but we’ve overcome many of those bumps. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I was glad to see this profile of the Capital Good Fund in a @WSJ piece highlighting the importance of small dollar loans and community-based lenders. I’m glad that Andy and the @cgfund have expanded here and are looking for Delawareans to help. https://t.co/2ZemZvkORM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I met the folks from @cgfund in 2015 & encouraged them to come to Delaware. With the help of @Discover, Longwood Foundation and Stepping Stones FCU, they're now here helping Delawareans with low-interest small loans and covering the costs of the citizenship process. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m using my social media accounts to promote Delaware voices: we’re calling it #DelawareSpeaksUp. This submission comes from Logan Herring, someone I really admire, who works every day to make sure Wilmington is a city where everyone has the resources they need to succeed. https://t.co/Boi0dBd406 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

During Cory Wilson’s confirmation hearing, I was left gravely concerned about his ability to be a fair-minded jurist. If confirmed to the 5th Circuit, his partisan statements would make any litigant second-guess if they will receive a fair day in court. https://t.co/T01UDWlTmQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Twenty organizations committed to protecting access to health care are calling on the Senate to stop the confirmation of Trump nominee Cory Wilson, citing his fierce opposition to health care access. #CourtsMatter #StopWilson https://t.co/nm14NB3hyb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Even as our country battles COVID-19, the Trump Administration is trying to strike down health care access in the courts, including for those with pre-existing conditions. Cory Wilson is one of many anti-ACA ideologues being advanced to powerful judgeships. #StopWilson — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

If you care about civil rights, you need to care about the courts. If you care about access to health care, you need to care about the courts. Right now, @senatemajldr is pushing through partisan nominees like Cory Wilson. I’m calling on my Senate colleagues to #StopWilson. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today at 6PM ET, @YaleLawSch Prof. Harold Koh & I are joining @AFJustice to discuss President Trump’s impact on the federal judiciary & why we all should care about our courts. Join our live discussion here: https://t.co/dsGeq62lU6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m deeply concerned about the long-lasting impacts of President Trump’s judicial nominees on civil rights, LGBTQ rights, voting rights, the environment, health care, gun safety, criminal justice, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

During today’s Small Business Committee hearing, I highlighted my new bill with @SenatorCardin and @SenatorShaheen to provide a second round of PPP relief specifically for the smallest businesses with the greatest need.

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Paycheck Protection Program has helped many businesses – but we need to target small businesses that still haven’t received the help they need. This morning I pushed top Trump Administration officials on helping small businesses get through this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m particularly focused on making sure that resources for small businesses are actually being delivered so businesses can keep their doors open and their employees on payroll — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m back at work in Washington, and this morning, I’m questioning top Trump Administration officials on how the federal government is actually spending the hundreds of billions of dollars Congress has passed to help our country through this pandemic. https://t.co/x0Yjf1aPTj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This morning, I joined @SenateDems to discuss the #JusticeInPolicing Act with @Sifill_LDF, @vanitaguptaCR, @DrPhilGoff and other leaders. I am inspired by the groundswell of activism for justice and racial equality. We need to deliver meaningful change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

@SenatorCardin @SenatorShaheen Only by aggressively targeting aid can we save our small businesses, the jobs they provide, and the Main Streets that make our communities proud. Learn more about our bill here: https://t.co/sVbE2DwXR0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

That’s why I’m introducing a bill with @SenatorCardin & @SenatorShaheen to provide substantially more aid to the smallest, most vulnerable businesses that have been hardest hit by this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In conversations with small businesses up & down the state of Delaware, it’s become clear that many employers in vital sectors need more federal aid through PPP. Even as closures are ending, countless Delaware businesses are struggling to survive this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I joined @SenStabenow and @SenatorWicker on a bipartisan push to ensure that the next stimulus bill addresses community health centers. We must support these critical health care providers and the millions of American families that rely on them. https://t.co/25Ay8UbL3V — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Community health centers across the country are struggling as patients cancel primary and preventative care due to COVID-19 concerns. These centers provide easily-accessible care to 29 million patients, and these centers operate in every county in Delaware. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We need an administration that’s working to improve relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve, not the other way around. This is not smart policy. https://t.co/0jd4OLFfZu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

President Trump’s budget request this year – like every previous budget proposal from this administration – tried to cut community policing and mediation programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

One way we can address hunger is by passing the FEED Act. Another is by expanding national service to provide opportunities for Americans to get engaged in their communities—to support food banks & programs like Meals on Wheels & to connect farmers, restaurants & hungry families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We can come together to address hunger. Today, I was honored to join my friend @chefjoseandres, who is already doing transformative work to feed our communities through World Central Kitchen, to discuss ways we can address the growing food insecurity crisis amid COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should have to wait hours in line to vote. By expanding #votebymail and #earlyvoting, we can ensure that all eligible voters can cast their ballots safely, securely, and efficiently this November. https://t.co/6Uo1o1FpUy — PolitiTweet.org
