I led my Pennsylvania Democratic colleagues in calling out HHS and CMS for unfairly allocating CARES funding. To take relief funding passed by Congress and allocate it such that groups of states are prioritized over others is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. https://t.co/FvkJLw8PcY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

.@SecAzar @SeemaCMS it is unacceptable that the Trump Administration disproportionately allocated relief funding. Pennsylvania has received approximately $50,000 per #COVID19 patient, while other states have received over $300,000 per patient. https://t.co/Te2iYAvqln — PolitiTweet.org

After Columbine, we said never again. Yet every year approx. 2,900 children and teens are shot and killed in the United States. We can and must do more to protect our children and communities from the constant threat of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

To quote the President himself: “Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible.” It’s time for President Trump to take responsibility for his shortcomings. Lives are at stake. https://t.co/0lf3liap3J — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Our states have stepped up to meet this unprecedented challenge. Our President continues to drown out the voices of leading public health experts by dismissing fears, denying the severity of the crisis and spreading misinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Standing on street corners is exactly where the federal gov't should be testing, and in health clinics, at hospitals, at drive-thru sites. With state & local government as full partners, we can and should be testing as many places as possible so we can SAFELY re-open the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

President Trump, just last week: "States are supposed to be doing testing. Hospitals are supposed to be doing testing. Do you understand that? We're the federal government. We're not supposed to stand on street corners doing testing." https://t.co/4F0u4dBrde — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Instead of stepping up and addressing these shortages by fulling enacting the DPA, President Trump placed blame everywhere but on himself. He is particularly fond of pointing fingers at the governors who have filled the void in leadership the President has abdicated. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

From mid-January until Feb. 28, fewer than 4,000 tests from the CDC were used out of more than 160,000 produced (Washington Post) whereas in South Korea, more than 66,650 people were tested within a week of its first case of community transmission (Atlantic). — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin failed to produce sufficient test kit materials, allowing the virus to proliferate unmonitored. Public labs say the IRR hasn't kept up with the demand, leading them to turn to state governments & private companies to scramble to obtain them https://t.co/PV0GljFNNj — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin’s plan flagged the importance of the Centers for Disease Control’s International Reagent Resource, which supplies public health labs with testing supplies, and set a goal of improving production of reagents used in test kits & distributing kits & supplies. But... — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The former Administration literally left a 69-page pandemic guidebook w/instructions for how to address many of the same roadblocks the Trump Administration now faces, including lack of testing & shortages of equipment—but President Trump has ignored it. https://t.co/bXAVehQhcN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The President has fallen short of HIS OWN pandemic goals, and now he is trying to rewrite history in order to absolve himself of blame. This Nation’s testing inadequacies are a direct result of President Trump’s actions, not the states. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

I applaud @GovernorTomWolf's and @FettermanLt's efforts to identify how the pandemic is affecting the Commonwealth's minority and vulnerable populations. We must ensure that no Pennsylvanian is left out by a health care system that is being strained by COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

According to the UN report, the social and economic impact of #COVID19 will be "potentially catastrophic for millions of children" and could "effectively reverse the last two to three years of progress in reducing infant mortality within a single year." https://t.co/YV5rV22jDA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

As reduced household income is expected to force low income families to cut back on essential health and food expenditures, #COVID19 is turning into “a broader child-rights crisis.” We need to get this pandemic under control. Children's lives are at stake. https://t.co/jJzLavVm7a — PolitiTweet.org

It is outrageous that scammers are seeking to capitalize on the public anxiety of COVID-19. Please stay alert for these malicious phone scams and don’t give your personal or financial information to a caller you don’t know or trust—you don’t have to pay a dime for your payment. — PolitiTweet.org

“The buck stops here.” – Harry Truman “I take no responsibility.” – Donald Trump, 2020 We can’t re-open until we get the public health crisis under control. That will take decisive action, vision and real leadership. It requires a President who will take responsibility for us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

He's blamed impeachment. He's blamed the WHO. He's even blamed President Obama, who literally left a 69 page pandemic guidebook. But facts are facts, & every American deserves the truth: this pandemic is hitting Americans harder because of President Trump's failure in leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

The American people deserve a leader who uses EVERY power, EVERY resource possible to protect the health and safety of them and their families. Instead, we have someone who doesn't think that's his job. https://t.co/IDwujdOPPb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Casey @SenBobCasey

Now, as families struggle to make ends meet, there are reports that the relief checks passed by Congress may be delayed for days so that President Trump can have his name on them. There is no end to his narcissism, even when American families are suffering. — PolitiTweet.org
