In Mitch McConnell’s Senate, 2 mos. have passed w/o action on COVID-19. No vote on the HEROES Act, no real relief. Republicans focused on corporate immunity while hardworking Americans continue to suffer the effects of this vicious virus. And now he’s sent everyone home. — PolitiTweet.org

Rolling back these vital protections will harm vulnerable children and families. This Administration is once again presenting a false choice between jobs and public health. We can and should promote public health and the creation of good-paying jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Veterans aren’t getting their prescriptions. Seniors are delayed in receiving Social Security checks. Rural America is losing an economic lifeline. All because the President doesn’t want you to be able to vote by mail. — PolitiTweet.org

According to the WAPO, yesterday represented the highest day of U.S. deaths from COVID-19 since mid-May, and this is what President Trump is focused on this morning. https://t.co/1DczRzN4oo — PolitiTweet.org

According to Census data, Black women working full time typically make just $0.62 for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. That's unacceptable. Today on #BlackWomensEqualPay Day & every day, I'm committed to fighting against gender and race-based pay gaps. https://t.co/8FpbOd1RWn — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to hear that OraSure Technologies will be expanding its manufacturing operations in Lehigh Valley, creating many new jobs in PA and serving on the frontlines in the battle against COVID-19 by developing antigen tests. https://t.co/T3pZ7hxlkV — PolitiTweet.org

RT @GovernorTomWolf: We remember the more than 7,000 Pennsylvania lives lost to #COVID19. We honor them by doing our part: wearing masks,… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

We must continue to reject hate and bigotry in all its forms, whenever and wherever we see it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

As our Nation reflects on the events that took place #OTD in Charlottesville three years ago, we remember Heather Heyer, Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates, Lt. H. Jay Cullen and all those impacted by the violent acts of white nationalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

PA residents: census takers with ID badges will be visiting households who have not yet responded to the census. If you have not yet had an opportunity to fill out the census, please respond to these workers when they visit. Get Counted! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This anti-Semitic hate has no place in America. I condemn this vandalism against the Harrisburg Jewish community and the Kesher Israel Congregation. https://t.co/dmunKIorJI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

President Trump and Senate Republicans need to get serious about compromise and meet us halfway. The problems are too big to be solved by unworkable Executive Orders that leave out millions of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Extra $$ is also essential for the USPS. As more people vote by mail, the delivery of mail-in ballot applications and the absentee ballots themselves must be efficient and timely to ensure a fair and transparent election. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

POTUS would rather tear down the USPS and peddle lies about voting-by-mail than ensure that voters won’t have to decide between casting their ballot and protecting their health. Extra funding for PPE for poll workers and socially distanced polling places is essential. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Dems asked for $3.6 billion to protect the wellspring of our democracy and ensure states can conduct elections. Despite this, President Trump’s EOs do nothing to prepare for and safeguard our upcoming November elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

We have been calling on the Administration for months to establish a special enrollment period so that people who need health insurance can enroll now. These exec actions do nothing to make it easier for people who are uninsured to find health insurance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Despite more than 150,000 deaths, President Trump’s proposal has left out money for testing, tracing, treatment. We cannot solve our economic problems until we solve the health problems. The Admin also still doesn’t have a comprehensive plan for vaccine distribution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

With the vast majority of the Nation preparing for remote learning this fall, President Trump’s executive order does nothing to close the digital divide and help families without adequate access to the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Between 15 and 16 million K-12 students do not have access to adequate broadband or devices for effective distance learning. This “homework gap” disproportionately impacts rural communities and communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Public schools need $175 billion to safely reopen, provide remote instruction and ensure every child receives a quality education. Republicans are abandoning working families, and putting the health and safety of students and teachers at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Childcare is critical to a strong economic recovery, yet POTUS is doing nothing to assist the struggling sector. Without financial assistance, many providers will be unable to safely reopen, leaving children without care and parents unable to return to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

An increase in SNAP benefits would also translate into an increase in economic activity and benefits for our farmers, communities, small businesses and local economies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

President Trump is failing kids and families by neglecting to provide food assistance. According to @CenterOnBudget, last month 905,000 PA households reported not having enough to eat - including 15% of all PA households with children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

POTUS could have extended the eviction ban, but chose not to, leaving millions of Americans at risk of being thrown out of their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This means that the Administration is willfully withholding funds for firefighters, sanitation workers, bus drivers, health care workers and all the people who keep our local governments running. Without action, these people could lose their jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

POTUS and Sen. McConnell would like to force state & local governments to go bankrupt rather than help them cover expenses and budget shortfalls due to COVID. Without assistance, we can expect drastic cuts to programs that are essential to public safety, education & job creation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Now, with Medicaid enrollment increasing, states could be forced to restrict eligibility, cut critical services and reduce payments for safety net providers, actions which threaten access to care during a national pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The President’s refusal to work w/ Congress on legislation means no additional federal $$ for Medicaid. Bipartisan governors, advocates from across the country & health care providers have expressed the need to increase the Medicaid FMAP, as was included in the HEROES Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The President’s actions also do nothing to provide essential front line workers premium pay or extend emergency paid sick and paid family and medical leave to the millions of workers who are still ineligible for it but desperately need it. — PolitiTweet.org
