Wishing my friend @RepElaineLuria a happy birthday today. Thanks for serving our country in the U.S. Navy; we appreciate all you do for your fellow veterans and military families in #VA02 in your role as Vice Chair of @HASCDemocrats Subcmte on Seapower & Projection Forces. — PolitiTweet.org

All Americans deserve a strong retirement system. On the 85th anniversary of the Social Security Act, two reports by @JECDems look at the weakening of our current retirement system and the need to strengthen it. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Happy birthday to my friend @repmarkpocan. Thank you for working hard for working families in WI and across the country in your role as Co-Chair of @USProgressives and @LGBTEqCaucus. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

To deny millions the ability to vote by mail in the middle of a pandemic is outrageous & dangerous. Congress must provide the @USPS with sufficient funds to carry out its duties. That’s what Democrats did in the #HeroesAct. The Senate must take it up without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

With regard to voting, President Trump has blocked Postal Service funding and appointed a partisan Postmaster General who is working to slow down mail processing and delivery so that ballots mailed even well in advance of Election Day cannot reach boards of election in time. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In his pathological attempt to gain an electoral advantage by sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service, President Trump is putting at risk the health and well-being of veterans, seniors, and rural Americans who rely on the Postal Service https://t.co/2tQovSDA0E — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank the @USGAO for doing its job and @BennieGThompson & @RepMaloney for ensuring that this report was made public. Neither should be serving in their positions. I urge both to step down so that their positions can be filled appropriately and consistent with the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In another example of Trump's willful ignorance of our Constitution, the separation of powers, & the rule of law, the @USGAO has confirmed that his appointments of Acting Secretary of DHS Chad Wolf & senior department official Ken Cuccinelli were illegal. https://t.co/J3RIJ8irNa — PolitiTweet.org

Which county are you in? ⬇️ Respond below and tag a friend to see how well your #MD05 county is doing in responding to the #2020Census. Responding to the census means our community receives funding for: 🏥 Public health 🚧 Infrastructure 📚 Education https://t.co/diqZVvDSwH https://t.co/cOQexpnYAB — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Over 70% of #MD05 residents have responded to the #2020Census. Let's get to 100%! When we are all counted, #MD05 receives its fair share of federal funding for important resources & programs. Encourage those who haven't responded to fill out their form: https://t.co/diqZVvDSwH https://t.co/IexCtwXuEX — PolitiTweet.org

85 years ago, FDR signed the Social Security Act into law. Since then, Dems have fought to protect it against GOP efforts to weaken or privatize it. As we face an unprecedented crisis, Dems are working to ensure it remains solvent & its funding protected. https://t.co/omcbMimzB0 — PolitiTweet.org

Wear a mask to protect yourself, your friends and loved ones, and your fellow Marylanders. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today the US reported the highest death toll in nearly two weeks. The loss of life from this pandemic is grave, but it didn't have to be that way. The White House and Republicans must work with us on a bill to fully address the seriousness of this crisis. https://t.co/c3bacY5ypS — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I am also relieved that the Israeli government has decided not to move forward at this time with plans to annex parts of the West Bank, which would have made a two-state solution more difficult to achieve and endangered Israel’s long-term security. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today’s announcement that Israel & the UAE will move forward to establish diplomatic relations is a positive & important step. It is critical that Israel’s right to exist is recognized by all & that Arab countries join in accepting Israel’s permanence. https://t.co/fK63bwVrpI — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

During a pandemic, public health should be a top priority. Instead, this Administration puts corporate polluters first. This is unacceptable & should be reversed. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

It is outrageous that the Trump Administration finalized a rule to roll back regulations on methane emissions, a harmful pollutant that has been linked to adverse health outcomes. https://t.co/vou6szHPky — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Hoping that my friend @RepVisclosky is enjoying his birthday. Pete has been a champion for #IN01 and as the Chair of the @AppropsDems Defense Subcmte, I thank him for advocating for the priorities of our servicemembers. Pete, I hope you enjoy a well-earned retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

It is appalling that Trump is deliberately obstructing funding for @USPS to prevent mail-in voting this Fall. Americans should be able to exercise their right to vote safely, not forced to choose between their right to vote and their health & safety. https://t.co/1y5TAtOCp1 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

On #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, we recognize the additional 8 months it takes for Black women to finally reach the pay of white men for the prior year. This wage gap is harmful to Black women and their families and must end - we need Equal Pay now. https://t.co/L8UK1Sigzv — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I’m alarmed to learn about the closure of the @CapGazNews newsroom in Annapolis. Journalists are an important part of communities in #MD05, & this closure will have a negative impact on Anne Arundel Co. I hope Tribune Publishing will reconsider. https://t.co/U1v1MyBn4W — PolitiTweet.org

I’m honored to receive this recognition from @AWEA, and I sincerely appreciate the work they do to advocate for clean energy. Through House Democrats’ Make It In America plan, I’ll keep working to promote investments in clean and sustainable forms of energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This afternoon I was on @NPR to discuss the need for Republicans to come back to the negotiating table and work with Democrats to reach a deal that reflects the needs of the American people. Listen here: https://t.co/09D81TQPsI — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Dems passed the #HeroesAct 3 months ago to deal with Trump's failure to establish a national testing plan. Nearly 8 months into this crisis, testing delays are making it even harder to control the spread. We need a comprehensive testing strategy now. https://t.co/mtSIZDFC2o — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Wishing a happy birthday to my good friend @RepDanKildee of #MI05. Thank you for your leadership as Chief Deputy Whip, for fighting for Michigan families on @WaysMeansCmte, and for working to address the water crisis for residents in Flint. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

State budgets have already been under enormous pressure and it is unrealistic to make them cover 25% of unemployment assistance benefits. Americans need UI assistance & state/local govs need funding. Republicans must work with us to take real action. https://t.co/gjS9WWOh9J — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In case there’s any question which side wants to reach an agreement to help the American people and which side doesn’t. Democrats passed a bill THREE MONTHS ago. Republicans need to stop pretending this crisis will just disappear. We must work together & act now. https://t.co/Prv3uJSCYD — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

For nearly 3 months, Senate GOP has told the American people: you’re on your own. They’ve refused to pass the Heroes Act and have failed to take desperately needed action. GOP leaders must return to the table & work w Dems to get to a deal. https://t.co/u8jNbGYPcs — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The President's disregard for the number of lives lost from COVID-19 is alarming. It reflects his pattern of downplaying the severity of this pandemic & his refusal to take responsibility. It didn’t have to be this way. Americans deserve better. https://t.co/WiANvi96xq — PolitiTweet.org
