.@UofMaryland will receive important funding through the #CARESAct to research different facets of the COVID-19 crisis, which will help inform our response in the months ahead. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/b0jeWHCA9D — PolitiTweet.org

From failing on testing to downplaying this crisis, Trump's actions have put lives at risk and endanger communities of color. The Administration must do more to address racial disparities as we respond to this crisis and in the aftermath of it. https://t.co/9OepKvayRy — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

We must have complete demographic data to respond to this crisis. I sent a follow-up letter to the @NatlGovsAssoc to urge them to direct the leaders of all fifty states, DC, & territories to collect demographic data on racial disparities & COVID-19. https://t.co/dXLR5dvUkx https://t.co/1q9ihCd3tE — PolitiTweet.org

Trump claimed he would protect those with pre-existing conditions. Instead, he is attempting to strike down the #ACA’s protections with a partisan lawsuit that would leave millions of Americans without coverage and allow discrimination against those with pre-existing conditions. https://t.co/8Js0hbukod — PolitiTweet.org

There is no question that Congress must extend assistance to these Americans. The House passed the Heroes Act last week to provide an extension of unemployment assistance and additional direct payments for Americans. The Senate must stop delaying and act on this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

With today’s unemployment claims report, we continue to see the economic fallout from the #coronavirus pandemic. Nearly 39 million – or nearly 1 in 4 - American workers lost a job, not including the many self-employed or gig economy workers who sought unemployment assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The Heroes Act provides for a two-month open enrollment period to allow individuals who are uninsured to enroll in coverage. Rather than work with Dems to expand coverage, it is outrageous that Trump is asking SCOTUS to strike down the law in its entirety. https://t.co/EoC9izbsJS — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Millions of Americans have lost employer-based health coverage during this pandemic & have turned to #ACA marketplaces to find coverage. But if Trump has his way, the law would be struck down in its entirety, kicking millions off coverage. RT if you agree that’s unacceptable. https://t.co/FN0dtKroyY — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

It is shameful that even during a pandemic, the President is willing to sabotage Americans’ access to health care with a partisan GOP lawsuit to strike down the ACA’s protections. Democrats will continue to fight to protect Americans’ access to care. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/E2Q6yC1cpC — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

COVID-19 has disproportionately hurt communities of color throughout MD, & it’s imperative that the state develop a plan to expand testing & address racial disparities. I urge @GovLarryHogan to work with our Delegation to do so. https://t.co/6KseBGrZs5 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I spoke with @RepAnthonyBrown & @CEXAlsobrooks today to discuss the ongoing needs of Prince George’s County. Rep. Brown & I are committed to ensuring County Executive Alsobrooks & the County have the tools they need to protect citizens & safely reopen the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In Maryland & across the country, we’ve seen the seafood industry significantly impacted by this crisis. I’m grateful to @NRDems for holding a virtual roundtable to examine how fisheries & seafood businesses have been affected & how the CARES Act & Heroes Act can provide relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Rural communities have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, and I thank @HouseSmallBIz for holding a virtual subcommittee forum to examine how Congress can help working families and small businesses in rural America get through this crisis and recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today, @EnergyCommerce held a bipartisan teleconference forum with the former Director of the Strategic National Stockpile. This forum will help inform our efforts to respond to this pandemic and improve our readiness in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @HomelandDems for holding their ninth virtual forum on the coronavirus crisis today, which focused on how threats from domestic and international terrorism have grown during this pandemic and how we should be responding. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This moving & informative interview details the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on African American communities. We cannot turn away from this pain & suffering. I agree this is a moment of reckoning, & we must do more to address disparities during and after this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

At a time when the public needs facts and expert advice to stay safe, the President is disparaging public health experts, encouraging unproven treatment methods, downplaying the crisis, & lying about his response. How shameful. https://t.co/9v5CRSYQL2 — PolitiTweet.org

It is outrageous that POTUS is threatening to withhold funding for states over mail-in voting. There is no evidence that mail-in voting advantages either party. Trump and Republicans should stop trying to make it harder for people to vote. https://t.co/rp1PrdxcV8 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Beginning this week, coronavirus testing will be expanded to Marylanders without symptoms. Individuals will be able to get tested without an appointment, & two new testing sites will open in Prince George’s County. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/QskzrXr3b9 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The Admin was required to report demographic data on coronavirus deaths and infections to help address racial disparities. It is unacceptable HHS submitted incomplete data sets instead. We cannot allow these disparities to go ignored. https://t.co/YrqoQ4XyPI — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Metro is an essential service, central to the success of our region and a safe reopening. @WMATA & regional partners will receive $876 million in federal funding through #CARESAct to keep our transportation systems operating. https://t.co/JVaWYBu4iL — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The #CARESAct provided critical funding to hospitals & frontline health care workers, but we must do more to ensure health care providers have the resources they need to treat patients. We’ll continue to work together to keep Maryland families safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Appreciated the opportunity to lead a call with the MD Delegation & @MedStarHealth leadership this afternoon to receive an update on how the hospital system is responding to the coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

IGs play an essential role in ensuring accountability & Congress has a right to know why Trump fired Steve Linick. House Dems will continue to demand answers and work to strengthen protections for IGs, which was a priority included in the Heroes Act. https://t.co/ZWK7Llusqz — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @EdLaborCmte for holding a virtual briefing today on the impact of this pandemic on seniors & people with disabilities. House Dems included relief for these individuals in the Heroes Act, & we will continue to focus on helping vulnerable populations through this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Of the 1.1 million COVID-19 cases reported to @CDCgov, race is unknown in over half. That's unacceptable. I continue to urge states to collect & release data in order to fully examine racial disparities & ensure assistance is reaching minority communities. https://t.co/j6zVx9NqyR — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 55th anniversary of Head Start, an early childhood education program that has helped to close the achievement gap and ensure students can succeed. I thank Head Start teachers & staff for all they do to support families and help students reach their full potential. — PolitiTweet.org
