Since Memorial Day, nine states that prematurely relaxed stay-at-home orders have now seen a spike in coronavirus hospitalizations. We must remember that this pandemic isn’t over and more must be done to defeat it. https://t.co/ZxDuXD8src — PolitiTweet.org

In March, I introduced a bill to remove the bust of Chief Justice Roger Taney from the Capitol. A bust of the author of one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our nation’s history should not be displayed in a place of honor. Read more here: https://t.co/t5ZNTIsKrm — PolitiTweet.org

During my weekly press conference today, I was asked about removing Confederate statues from the Capitol. I am supportive of efforts to remove these symbols of slavery, segregation, oppression, and bigotry. — PolitiTweet.org

During this crisis, charities around the country have stepped up to help communities in need. I thank @JECDems for their virtual hearing this afternoon on the critical work they are doing. — PolitiTweet.org

Science shows a link between communities living w more air pollution & high rates of COVID-19 deaths. @EnergyCommerce held an important virtual hearing on how this pandemic is disproportionately impacting minority & other vulnerable communities in need of environmental justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @TransportDems for holding a virtual hearing to examine the risks that transportation workers are facing during this pandemic. I agree we must protect our frontline heroes. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Recent studies show that stay-at-home orders saved lives & prevented COVID-19 infections, underscoring how important it is that federal, state, and local leaders rely on science and public health guidance as we make decisions about how our nation reopens. https://t.co/QnLvzz9fDz — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

More than two-thirds of Americans agree the killing of George Floyd represents a broad problem in the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement. There is a clear need for reform, which is why the House is advancing the #JusticeInPolicing Act. https://t.co/owd00Di9ly — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As the @WashingtonPost Editorial points out, it is not unreasonable to demand high levels of responsibility and accountability of law enforcement. I hope Republicans will work with us to advance the #JusticeInPolicing Act and send it to POTUS's desk. https://t.co/9F51fAp8ba — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As Republicans use the jobs report as their latest excuse for inaction, keep in mind the overall unemployment rate would likely be 16.3%. Even at 13.3%, it is far too high for the GOP to sit on their hands. I continue to urge the Senate to take up and pass the #HeroesAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Lastly, I said with unemployment rates at levels not seen since the Great Depression, this is hardly the time for the Senate to sit on its hands and wait. I continue to urge the GOP to consider the House-passed Heroes Act so working families can stay afloat during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I said I hope Republicans will work with us on the #JusticeInPolicy Act as we hold a hearing and mark up the legislation before it comes to the House Floor. We have a responsibility to act. #BlackLivesMatter — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today at my press conference, I told reporters that the #JusticeInPolicing Act is legislation that deals directly with police accountability and transparency. With this bill, we are telling the American people: we see you, we hear you, and we are acting. — PolitiTweet.org
