The most sustained contact the President has had with Putin, and yet @PressSec can't confirm if they talked about the alleged bounties Russia put on our troops' heads?? This is a slap in the face to our armed forces, and an abdication of his responsibility as Commander in Chief. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the 11th anniversary of Pennsylvania’s last minimum wage increase to $7.25 in 2009. Congress hasn’t boosted the minimum wage since 2007 & we are now in the longest period without an increase since the minimum wage was created. It’s well past time we #RaiseTheWage — PolitiTweet.org

If President Trump put half as much energy into fighting the COVID pandemic as he did fighting to preserve the traitorous legacy of those who fought against our country, more of our businesses might be open and our students safely returning to school. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The Confederate generals for whom these bases are named are traitors who rebelled against our Nation to preserve slavery. Once again, President Trump has chosen to use racism to further his political agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I led 36 of my colleagues in requesting that Ldr McConnell support the funding & flexibility for state and local governments included in the House-passed HEROES Act. Existing funding is not enough for jurisdictions grappling with these extraordinary #COVID shortfalls. https://t.co/Db3f2TqmQi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

96 percent of municipalities will be impacted by the financial losses from the pandemic. I agree with Lee Saunders @AFSCME -- we have got to fund the front lines of this crisis, which means passing a bill that works for state and local governments. https://t.co/6RVlVTLMzW — PolitiTweet.org

Medicaid is a lifeline for families navigating this pandemic, especially across rural America. The next #COVID19 relief package must #FundMedicaid to #ProtectOurCare and ensure all Americans in every corner of our Nation have access to affordable health care during this pandemic. https://t.co/UwE0FEew0X — PolitiTweet.org

What we’re seeing in China is state-sponsored forced labor. I stand with @AFLCIO and the over 180 civil society orgs who are calling on apparel brands and retailers to #ExitTheXinjiang to prevent human rights violations and forced labor of Uyghur peoples in their supply chains. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

“Enough politics. Americans deserve action.” It’s been “enough” since the House passed the HEROES Act on May 15th—over two months ago. Where have you been? — PolitiTweet.org

Claim #5: “it’s political payoffs” Said the authors of the GOP corporate tax scheme of 2017. Next. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Claim #4: “three trillion dollars in new spending, so they can keep our economy and schools closed.” The HEROES Act provides $1 trillion to state & local governments, health care workers and teachers so they can reopen safely. The GOP is focused on the stock market. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Claim #3: “Democrats have made it clear they have different priorities.” This one is true. The HEROES Act includes $75 billion to ramp up a national effort for testing and contact tracing critical to any effort to reopen, and extends UI through Jan for the 36 mil out of a job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Claim #2: “the Republican plan is focused on saving lives.” The President wore a mask for the first time last week, over 144k American deaths into the pandemic. Have you seen Senate Republicans urging him to wear a mask? Or demanding a national testing strategy? Didn't think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Between meetings so let’s break down this cesspool of lies. Claim #1: “defeating the virus is the Senate’s top priority.” Republicans have spent the last month putting up right-wing judges. @SenateDems are the ones pushing for increased funding for testing & #COVID relief. — PolitiTweet.org

On this Glioblastoma Awareness Day, I'm thinking of all the lives lost to this deadly cancer, and in particular of dedicated public servants like Beau Biden, Ted Kennedy and John McCain. Learn how you can support finding a cure and #DefeatGBM: https://t.co/vIc8gU9IFQ — PolitiTweet.org

Small businesses like Pennsylvania's restaurants are an essential part of our community but are facing unprecedented hardships during this recession. I'm proud to co-sponsor the bipartisan, bicameral RESTAURANTS Act to provide billions in funds to independently-owned restaurants. https://t.co/y6Dl3AeQYn — PolitiTweet.org

Mark your calendars: this Friday I'll be bringing experts & advocates together for a Virtual Disability Employment Summit to discuss how #COVID19 has affected disability employment & how to strengthen employment opportunities for people with disabilities. https://t.co/6i5v3jy6l6 https://t.co/nCUmfV8tjF — PolitiTweet.org

ATTN RETAILERS! Since PA began participating in the #SNAP online purchasing program, Amazon, the Fresh Grocer, Shoprite and Walmart have seen ~$6.5 million in online SNAP purchases by Pennsylvanians. Support #COVID food security efforts & join today: https://t.co/wxu95NFE5T — PolitiTweet.org

The census allocates funding based on population, not citizenship status. Our roads, hospitals & schools require maintenance regardless of whom they're serving. Scaring undocumented immigrants from filling out the census WILL disproportionately hurt majority-minority communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

President Trump knows this is unconstitutional, but as usual he has little regard for the Constitution. This racist, fear-mongering EO only aims to suppress census participation among people of color. Don't let him scare you. Get counted at https://t.co/jDHelq2EpO — PolitiTweet.org

#MaskUp: because science speaks louder than words. Like if you wore your mask yesterday, today, and will again tomorrow. Together, we can #flattenthecurve and slow the spread of #COVID19. https://t.co/XRPxZqP4oj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

A democracy doesn’t have secret police & a paramilitary force. What we saw in Portland is performative fascism meant to inflame tensions & rally the President's base ahead of an election. That's why today I voted yes on @SenBrianSchatz’s NDAA amendment to #DemilitarizeThePolice — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Pleased to see my legislation moving forward in the House, named Scarlett’s Sunshine after a little girl who was lost to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood. I wanted to honor Scarlett’s memory by taking steps to ensure no family will have to grieve a child without knowing why. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Proud to see my bipartisan BENES Act with @SenToddYoung advance in the House. Thanks to the 105+ groups, including @medicarerights @AARPAdvocates @BCBSAssociation and more, and 10 former @CMSGov administrators, for your support and advocacy — PolitiTweet.org

No President should have secret police. Period. — PolitiTweet.org
