The @WashingtonPost Editorial Board highlights the importance of tomorrow’s vote to allow remote voting & committee work. I couldn’t agree more: “Republican holdouts in the House and in the slow-moving Senate have no excuse not to join in the tiptoe.” https://t.co/gyBfINr6gx — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today, I testified before @RulesDemocrats on a resolution to allow remote voting and virtual committee proceedings. This resolution does not fundamentally change the way the House works. It enables the House to meet this moment and do its job in full. https://t.co/ktvgIspgSR — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Maryland Congressional Delegation announced $205 million to expand testing capacity in our state. Widespread testing is still the key to safely reopen Maryland’s economy. https://t.co/3LnUr8iKHR — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @HomelandDems for speaking with experts this afternoon during a virtual forum to discuss the critical contributions of immigrants during this pandemic - especially those who work in the health care, service, and agriculture sectors. — PolitiTweet.org

The House can fully operate #ForThePeople during this public health and economic emergency by using twenty-first century technologies, which is why I will bring a resolution to the Floor to allow remote voting and committee work. Learn more here: https://t.co/2yqgn7ewgd — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The House will consider a resolution on temporary emergency procedures to ensure we can continue fully working #ForThePeople during this public health and economic emergency. The time has come to act – further delay is not an option. https://t.co/N1jknV0JDS — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Finally, I told press that I am continuing to work toward a rule change to allow remote work in the House. States all over the country and countries around the world have implemented this. There is no reason Congress shouldn’t either. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I told press that CARES 2 will be ready today, and the House will vote on the bill as early as Friday. The legislation includes funding for state, local, tribal governments; hospitals and health care workers; USPS; rental and mortgage assistance; and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I started off my weekly press conference today by telling press I remain outraged by the senseless murder of Ahmaud Arbery, and we should all share outrage at this brutality based on the color of one’s skin. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I’ll continue working to ensure state and local governments have the resources they need to keep law enforcement personnel on the job. We must ensure that officers have the necessary resources to do their jobs safely and effectively and can continue serving their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This #NationalPoliceWeek, I join in thanking the law enforcement officers and first responders serving our communities on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Their selflessness and commitment to service has kept families safe during this crisis. https://t.co/fuY7YfemL9 https://t.co/ngZf6vPdiI — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In the middle of a pandemic, @EPA has taken steps to increase pollution and undermine public health. I joined my colleagues in asking the Bay Watershed governors to maintain environmental standards crucial to the health of the Bay & protect public health. https://t.co/FInkgmjrKP — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Misinformation poses a dangerous threat to efforts to defeat the #coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to @HomelandDems for holding a virtual forum today examining misinformation and how Congress can respond. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Our Delegation worked hard to secure funding to protect Marylanders facing homelessness & low-income individuals struggling during this public health crisis. We’ll continue to work to ensure our state has the resources it needs to assist MD families. https://t.co/E56TVcE74z — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Racial bias is a pervasive problem in health care & COVID-19 is shining a bright light on the consequences with a higher rate of infections & deaths among minority communities. It must be addressed as we respond to this crisis & work to improve care. https://t.co/XRg55KbfXV — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

All over the world legislators are working remotely, & there’s no reason the House of Representatives cannot find a way to do so as well. I’m hopeful that we can reach bipartisan agreement to change the rules to allow remote work. Read more from @voxdotcom:https://t.co/SuQZh0W18Y — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

National Police Week begins today, and I thank our nation’s law enforcement officers for being there for us in times of crisis. I am grateful for their service and sacrifice as they work on the frontlines of this pandemic to protect our communities. https://t.co/412KipKL0T — PolitiTweet.org
