This week in the Senate: Republicans will use the pandemic as an excuse to dole out favors to corporate interests while slashing the $600 extra benefit for unemployed workers. And @SenateDems will fight like hell for #COVID19 relief that goes to working families. #Priorities — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH LIVE: @DemsOnAging hearing on the disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on older adults of color. Despite facing increased risk of severe illness or death due to #COVID19, the Trump Admin continues w/ efforts to repeal the ACA. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/abOAx4Z6Vj — PolitiTweet.org

Hate and bigotry have no place in our society. The members of the Pennsylvania transgender community are our neighbors and friends. Treat them that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Levine is an honorable public servant whose tireless work to keep PA safe and healthy has saved countless lives. She is owed an apology. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump wasn’t kidding. He and his Administration are reportedly taking concrete steps to slow down testing, limiting our ability to find out who has #COVID19. This approach will lead to more disease and more death. Our Nation needs substantially more testing, not less. — PolitiTweet.org

Philadelphia is the birthplace of our Constitution. This unconstitutional paramilitary force has no place anywhere in a healthy democracy, Mr. President, but especially not here. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This could be Philadelphia next. Or Pittsburgh. Or your city. This should not be happening in America and we cannot allow it to continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Listen to @RonWyden: “This is about more than just Portland.” President Trump’s secret police are kidnapping & holding citizens w/o charges for exercising their constitutionally-guaranteed rights. This is totalitarianism, and if it can happen in Portland, it can happen anywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

First #SCOTUS rejected the repeal of #DACA. Now a federal judge ruled the Administration must accept new applications. Next up: passing the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act for permanent protections for #Dreamers. #HomeIsHere — PolitiTweet.org

Today is Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day, a day we celebrate the legacy of a true pioneer in the worldwide struggle for rights and acceptance for people with disabilities. Eunice started @SpecialOlympics in her backyard, which now has evolved into a global movement for inclusion. https://t.co/b2rXndDzOo — PolitiTweet.org

I support the military’s efforts to ban the confederate flag. President Trump may have wrapped himself in it, but a symbol of division and racial hatred has no place in our armed forces. https://t.co/RUVmyIX7AW — PolitiTweet.org

Nelson Mandela's legacy teaches us the importance of fighting for democracy and leading with integrity, but also of forgiveness and healing. During this difficult time, may we come together in common purpose: to "make a better world for all who live in it." #MandelaDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Let’s honor his legacy of “good trouble” by continuing his fight for civil rights and social justice together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Deeply saddened by the news of Congressman John Lewis’s passing—an American hero and relentless champion for justice with unwavering optimism for our Nation. The world is a little darker this morning without his light. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a pioneer, a trailblazer, an icon and, above all, a fighter. Terese and I join the rest of the Nation in sending our thoughts and prayers for a complete and speedy recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The order issued by Judge Gee to release migrant children due to #COVID19 health concerns is the right decision, but it shouldn’t have taken a pandemic to treat kids with basic compassion—and it would be inexcusable to use this time of crisis to exercise MORE family separation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

#BREAKING: I'm calling on @ICEgov to release children in their custody at Berks Family Residential Center WITH their families. Enough is enough. The job of government is to protect children, not incarcerate them or rip them away from their families. https://t.co/TaE12IwTDR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I stand with the Pennsylvanians in Chambersburg, Lehighton & across the Commonwealth who are using their voices to call for change. We must end police brutality, hold police accountable & create structural change that safeguards every American’s right to safety and equal justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

#BlackLivesMatter is not a moment, it's a movement, and it's rightfully spurring conversations across every community in the U.S. For us to have long lasting change, we need a coalition of urban, suburban and rural Americans to confront bias & hate crimes. https://t.co/5SemxZfqSp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

“Election officials don’t have nearly the resources to make the preparations and changes they need to make to run an election in a pandemic.” We can and should be doing something about this—starting with more funding for states to implement #VoteByMail nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Congressional Dems have a plan to address the #NursingHomeCrisis, but we need @senatemajldr & @realDonaldTrump to listen. I'm joining @SSWorks for a Grassroots Town Hall with @janschakowsky, @RepSylviaGarcia, @justiceinaging & more LIVE at 6:30PM ET: https://t.co/xoLQwQLXyn https://t.co/UJOXtt3nmE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

This Administration continues to fail migrant children by carrying out cruel policies that will do long-term damage to them, their families and our Nation. It is critical that any funding for DHS include clear directives and restrictions to ensure transparency and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

At my request, @USGAO looked into the Trump Administration’s treatment of kids at the border and found appalling disregard for the lives of migrant children and an abdication of responsibility for those in our Nation’s care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I used to believe you could hold the bad apples accountable one by one. I was wrong. This is a systemic racism problem that pervades the entire criminal justice system & requires a systemic approach to reform. The Justice in Policing Act is a critical first step in that approach. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Black men are roughly 3.5 times more likely to be killed by law enforcement than White men. One in 1,000 Black men in the U.S. can expect to die at the hands of police. The President's words aren't just insensitive, they're flat out wrong. https://t.co/HI8v94n1ow — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

One way we can battle food insecurity, today, is by passing my Increasing Access to SNAP Delivery During COVID-19 Act. More must be done to ensure high-risk individuals are able to maintain reliable access to food while also maintaining social distancing guidelines. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

As outlined by @CenterOnBudget, SNAP is one of the most effective mechanisms both to reach low-income households & to provide counter-cyclical help in recessions. That's why @SenateDems are fighting to boost SNAP benefits & increase the maximum allotment. https://t.co/Ie3ydmvZhW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The #COVID19 crisis is only exacerbating food insecurity at home and around the world, which is why we need to be strengthening programs like #SNAP, not undermining it. Taking food off the table won’t help anyone fight this virus. #HandsOffSNAP https://t.co/j7gCqzqpuN — PolitiTweet.org
