At my weekly Committee Chairs meeting, I appreciated hearing from Chairs about the virtual forums they have led; those events and today’s meeting over videoconference are further examples that remote work can be done successfully and securely. https://t.co/D9BUnQq8Nd https://t.co/n6OR2fT0TO — PolitiTweet.org

House Democrats will never stop fighting to protect America’s students from sexual harassment and assault and ensure that schools are safe places for learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Secretary Betsy DeVos and POTUS are finalizing a rule that would make it harder to protect students from sexual harassment and assault in schools & on college campuses - a serious threat the federal govt should confront with all the tools at its disposal. https://t.co/g8JOTEJJr5 — PolitiTweet.org

In the middle of a pandemic, POTUS & the GOP want to: ❌ Kick Americans off their coverage ❌ Allow discrimination based on pre-existing conditions ❌ Bring back the age tax when we know COVID-19 is more deadly for seniors This is beyond cruel and will cost lives. — PolitiTweet.org

The President's repeated ousting of Inspectors General is a shameful attack on oversight and reflects his contempt for any accountability. These actions endanger our democracy and weaken our collective ability to defeat crises like the coronavirus. https://t.co/jypoUwy7nW — PolitiTweet.org

Maryland public schools will be closed through the remainder of the school year. Online learning will continue and meals are still available for students to pick up. Click here to find a meal distribution site near you: https://t.co/6mkWf4IjpK — PolitiTweet.org

I join in recognizing National Nurses Week and paying tribute to nurses across the county who have shown immense courage on the frontlines of this pandemic. I will continue fighting to ensure they have the protective equipment and supplies necessary to protect and save lives. https://t.co/c1v39pHsbY — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The significant racial disparities in #coronavirus cases and death are unacceptable and must be addressed. House Democrats will continue to work to expand testing, improve access to care, and strengthen health care infrastructure in minority communities. https://t.co/GjKXBulbCB — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

TONIGHT: I spoke w @FBCG Pastor @johnkjenkins & @RepAnthonyBrown about the impact of the #coronavirus on our communities & the work we’re doing in Congress to help families in MD. You can watch our conversation tonight at 7:00 P.M. here: https://t.co/lNkJZj6kKf https://t.co/GEvtbhVQE1 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Lastly, I told press we need rules that allow the House to conduct oversight, mark up legislation, & continue our business #ForThePeople remotely, like so many other legislatures are doing. I am hopeful we can reach bipartisan agreement with the Virtual Congress Task Force. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Dems are working to include top priorities in CARES 2, incl. add'l assistance for state, local, & tribal governments to keep teachers, police, firefighters & others on the job; protections for workers; expanded testing & tracing; funding for the USPS & elections; & a fix for DC. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

During my weekly press conference today, I told reporters that House Democrats have been hard at work on CARES 2 legislation to respond to the #coronavirus pandemic. Members will return once a bill is ready to be voted on. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I join my MD colleagues in urging AG Barr to take action to stop the spread of COVID-19 in federal correctional facilities & protect incarcerated individuals, employees, & surrounding communities. Read our letter: https://t.co/oFaD8erzHb https://t.co/JESn2CJj8Z — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

We must keep teachers, first responders, and other essential workers on the job during this crisis. That’s why House Dems will continue to advocate for additional funding for state, local, and tribal governments as we respond to the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/b0I18hl4st — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This informative @NewYorker article describes why @USPS is so important while laying out the steep challenges it faces. From staying connected to receiving goods, it is an agency we trust during troubling times and it is vital that we ensure its survival. https://t.co/KZYzLem3p7 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I stand with @GoIUPAT & @iupat_dc51 in support of protecting construction workers during this crisis. We must not leave them behind as we respond to the pandemic, especially when it comes to health coverage. More must be done to meet their needs in the next coronavirus bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As we confront a global pandemic, both our nations are challenged by a new and common enemy. Mexico and America must continue to partner in the pursuit of victory over COVID-19 & keep working together to achieve common goals, including security and opportunity for our people. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In 1862, Mexican forces defeated a French invasion at the pivotal Battle of Puebla. Ever since, Americans and Mexicans have joined together in celebrating #CincodeMayo and paying tribute to the courage displayed at Puebla and the ideals our nations share. https://t.co/o3vst4WhAT https://t.co/xqQRA4zehE — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This week is #PSRW, and I am deeply appreciative of the federal, state, county, and local government employees who are working hard during the #coronavirus pandemic. I thank these working men and women serving our communities and will continue to advocate for them in Congress. https://t.co/cRaEXyD0ED — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This is exactly why the House established a select committee to oversee the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will do our part to ensure that our nation’s response is effective, coordinated, based in science, and focused on protecting and saving lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

It is unthinkable that POTUS would shut down the main task force established to coordinate our nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a shameful abdication of responsibility. https://t.co/5NZBbAyKpY — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

MD HBCUs like @BowieState & minority serving colleges will receive significant funding through #CARESAct to help students as they navigate this challenging time. Our Delegation will continue to advocate for students in MD. https://t.co/X7iwftTcFu — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

On #TeacherAppreciationDay, I thank all teachers who are working tirelessly to educate students & adapt to distance learning during this crisis. Teachers are invaluable, & Dems are pushing for increased funding for state & local govts to ensure they can keep teachers on the job. https://t.co/Odk0QuVrK8 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The proposal put forward by the GOP on the Virtual Congress Task Force falls woefully short. We need rules that allow the House to conduct oversight, mark up legislation, and take votes without putting countless Capitol Police, staff, & press at risk. https://t.co/O9zkPEAdTf https://t.co/3zfx5M2vhs — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As we continue to mourn the passing of Elijah Cummings, it is fitting that #MD07 sent Rep. Kweisi Mfume to continue their shared work to ensure that the promise of America is kept for all Americans equally. It was my honor to welcome him back to the House today. https://t.co/Eld7laBNtz — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I urge Americans still waiting on their economic impact payments to be cautious of attempts to steal personal information and payments. Please watch out for these common scam tactics. Find more information from the IRS here: https://t.co/60pC7WDJUf https://t.co/ek0aru3N25 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Spoke w @AFGENational to thank members for their work during Public Service Recognition Week. I provided an update on the work I’m doing in Congress to respond to this pandemic & advocate for federal workers. I’ll keep fighting alongside AFGE to protect the federal workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Congress has provided additional funding for programs to help small business owners and non-profit organizations, including the Paycheck Protection Program, emergency economic injury grants, and the Small Business Debt Relief Program.

A robust national testing regime is necessary to safely reopen our economy, and I thank @EnergyCommerce for their bipartisan teleconference forum with @HHS_ASH for updates on the Administration’s efforts to expand testing capacity. — PolitiTweet.org
