Public health experts warned yesterday that this crisis is far from over. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Keep your distance. And RT to tell the Senate to take up the #HeroesAct. https://t.co/MlxymDNP8M — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

We need to address these disparities with expanded testing, targeted contact tracing, language resources, and additional protective equipment for workers on the job. I continue to call on the Senate to pass the #HeroesAct to provide these resources. — PolitiTweet.org

With greater risk of exposure in essential jobs, underlying health conditions, and less access to health care, Latinos continue to be at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The growing number of infections among Latinos is deeply concerning. https://t.co/Wc1dZ1h2sR — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

CMS data confirms that people of color are at much greater risk of coronavirus hospitalizations and shows that low-income Americans are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. We must ensure that necessary resources reach these vulnerable populations. https://t.co/AfuPNTM2NR — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @EnergyCommerce for holding a hearing today with health officials on the Administration’s response to COVID-19. As Dr. Fauci discussed, we must do more testing as we respond to this crisis, not less. — PolitiTweet.org

I thank @HouseScience for holding a hearing today on air travel and how we can keep flight crews, airport employees, and the flying public healthy and safe as travel resumes. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Tune in as @VetAffairsDems holds a hearing on the VA’s telehealth services, which are critically important during the coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. At 2:30 p.m., @HouseBudgetDems will examine health and wealth inequalities and how we can address disparities and promote an equitable recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Happening now: watch as @WaysMeansCmte holds a hearing to examine how we can address child care issues as we respond to this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

House Democrats will continue to work to defend the law in court to #ProtectOurCare, and we will bring legislation to enhance the ACA to the Floor next week. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Even during a global pandemic, Republicans are waging an all-out assault on the #ACA. This Thursday, the White House is expected to file legal briefs asking the Supreme Court to strike down the law’s protections. This is cruel and could cost lives. https://t.co/J1wxAmxJfF — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Trump's claim that the increase in coronavirus cases is due to more testing is not true. He is misleading the public. In order to safely reopen, we need to increase testing and tracing. The Admin needs to immediately disburse funding that has been allocated for that purpose. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Lastly, I said that John Bolton chose profits over patriotism, and cash over his responsibility as a citizen. Unlike his colleagues who demonstrated courage when they testified to the House, he shirked his duty as a citizen. That is sad for our country and our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I also said that on Friday the House will consider @EleanorNorton’s #DCStatehood bill. I am proud to support this bill that gives the residents of DC the rights of all other Americans. It is time to do the right thing on behalf of our fellow Americans in the District. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today at my weekly press conference, I told reporters that the House will vote on the #JusticeInPolicing Act on Thursday. Black lives matter, & an overwhelming majority of Americans support the provisions in this bill. I urge House Republicans to join us in passing these reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

While I am disappointed that Republicans have indicated they would oppose this bill under suspension, which is why I will bring it to the Floor under a rule later in July, I look forward to seeing it pass with strong bipartisan support and being sent to POTUS's desk to be signed. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @RepRaulGrijalva for his long-time leadership to permanently #fundLWCF as well as House sponsors of the Great American Outdoors Act: @RepCunningham, @RepTjCox, @RepKendraHorn, @RepGolden, @RepMikeSherrill, @RepTorresSmall. I also thank the GOP sponsor @CongMikeSimpson. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The House will consider the Great American Outdoors Act under a rule during the work period at the end of July. This bipartisan bill, which passed the Senate by a vote of 73-25, will permanently #fundLWCF & address our public maintenance backlog. https://t.co/6PuYXXXjCR — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Wishing a happy birthday to my friend @RepAdamSchiff. Thank you for your fearless and dedicated work to uphold the rule of law #ForThePeople, to #DefendOurDemocracy, and to safeguard our national security as Chairman of @HouseIntel. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This pandemic has shone a bright light on our country’s existing racial inequities. As we respond to this crisis, we must address disparities, and I thank @EdLaborCmte for holding a hearing today to examine steps we must take to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Thanks to @HASCDemocrats for working to advance the #FY21NDAA with two subcommittee markups today. I look forward to bringing this bill to the Floor following Committee passage. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I also congratulate our second place winner Elizabeth Hopper and honorable mention Sophie Hanks. Their artwork showed great skill, & I join in thanking every student who participated in the 2020 #MD05 Congressional Art Competition. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Congrats to North Point rising senior Elizabeth Gerstman for winning the 2020 #MD05 Congressional Art Competition. I was thoroughly impressed by Elizabeth’s artwork & the effort she put into this year’s competition. https://t.co/8hrevu0Mjy https://t.co/rc2sVVsX6S — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Assistance provided by Congress in the #CARESAct helped keep nearly 12 million Americans from plunging into poverty. With much of this assistance set to expire in July, the Senate must pass the #HeroesAct to help families stay afloat during this crisis. https://t.co/2Ydww5rBlu — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Women have lost jobs at a higher rate than men and face greater challenges in re-entering the workforce, such as child care responsibilities. We must address these challenges as we respond to this crisis and ensure women are not left out of our recovery efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The President’s comment about slowing down testing just so he can misconstrue the severity of the coronavirus is outrageous. We need a robust testing regime to defeat this virus. For the President to say otherwise is wrong and could cost lives. https://t.co/igXhO4rOec — PolitiTweet.org
