I thank @HomelandDems for holding a virtual forum with @WCraigFugate about @FEMA’s role in the #coronavirus response this morning. House Dems are continuing to work hard to respond to this crisis as we work remotely. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @EnergyCommerce for holding a bipartisan teleconference forum with @NIHDirector today to receive important updates on the #coronavirus response. This is another great example of how Congress is continuing to work #ForThePeople remotely. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Happy birthday to my good friend, @BobbyScott. Thank you for your leadership as Chair of @EdLaborCmte and for your work during the #coronavirus crisis to ensure frontline workers receive adequate safety protection and assistance is provided for students, teachers, and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Happy birthday to my friend @RepRobinKelly, a proud member for #IL02 & leader in the fight to stop gun violence. We thank you for your advocacy on @EnergyCommerce & @OversightDems & for raising awareness on racial disparities & COVID-19 as @theBlackCaucus Health Care Chair. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

This #MinorityHealthMonth, I stand with @TheBlackCaucus, @CAPAC, and @HispanicCaucus in raising awareness of racial disparities in #coronavirus infections and deaths & addressing health inequities that have long existed but have been made more apparent by this pandemic. #NMHM2020 — PolitiTweet.org

House Dems are pushing to extend the expansion of unemployment insurance benefits in the next coronavirus response legislation. The #CARESAct secured an additional $600/ week for those who have lost their jobs. Expanded unemployment benefits should continue during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

With another 3.8 million Americans filing for unemployment insurance last week, it is clear that Congress must do more to help those harmed by the economic impacts of our fight against the #coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/8pNjoKXGe1 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

In March, Trump said anyone who needed a test could get one. Nearly two months later, we know that is far from the truth. The President has failed and is now lying to cover it up. We can't reopen the economy until we have a national testing strategy. https://t.co/LduGskeAD8 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Over 1 million #coronavirus infections. Over 60,000 deaths. 30 million unemployed. It is incomprehensible that the Trump Administration is calling that a success. The President's serious missteps have cost lives & are setting back our economic recovery. https://t.co/bbfaw811wd — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

States are facing devastating budget shortfalls because of the #coronavirus, causing thousands of first responders, teachers, and other critical personnel on the frontlines to face layoffs. Dems are fighting hard to secure funding to keep them on the job. https://t.co/RSnYHQ2BjA — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @theBlackCaucus for their leadership & commitment to addressing racial disparities during this pandemic & in our broader health care system. These inequities are unacceptable & House Dems will continue to work to address them. https://t.co/tjEvZk6Lpt — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today our Delegation announced more than $9 million in housing relief for low-income Marylanders. This funding will help vulnerable communities at a time of severe financial hardship. We’ll continue to fight for more resources to help families in MD. https://t.co/BopUsjBMhb — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

.@WashingtonPost is right: Congress must move to conduct work remotely, which is exactly why I've been pushing for remote voting & committee work. I'm working hard w/the Virtual Congress Task Force to reach bipartisan agreement to update House rules. https://t.co/FhBLxiFCxI — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I thank @HomelandDems for examining how @TSA's workforce has been impacted by #coronavirus this morning during their virtual forum with @AFGENational and for exemplifying how Congress can continue to work remotely. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. I thank @RepJohnYarmuth for his bill to reassert Congress’ constitutional spending authority, prevent illegal diverting of funds by POTUS, and increase transparency of the budget process. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Even before this pandemic, racial disparities were apparent in health care and in other policy areas, such as education & community revitalization. We must confront racial disparities head-on, and when this is over, we cannot return to business as usual. https://t.co/oPDtzU9tUV — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

MD has now been approved to provide pandemic nutrition assistance to all students missing free or reduced-price lunches. Now families will be able to directly purchase food, supplementing the free emergency meals being distributed by public schools. https://t.co/OilkIbGLl7 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Today's Chairs Committee meeting was an important step to show videoconferencing technologies can work for Congress. I am confident that the Virtual Congress Task Force will reach a bipartisan agreement on changes to House rules to allow for remote work. https://t.co/lxRmMUMIen https://t.co/QcP1u3ZyH0 — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Wishing my friend @RepJoeMorelle a happy birthday today. Thank you for putting the needs of #NY25 first in your role on @EdLaborCmte and @HouseBudgetDems, and for your hard work on @RulesDemocrats, helping to pass emergency coronavirus legislation for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Happy birthday to my friend @RepHorsford, a tireless advocate for working families and lowering prescription drug prices. Thank you for your work on @WaysMeansCmte, @HouseBudgetDems, & @NRDems. You are a strong voice for #NV04 residents who have been hit hard by the coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Congress has taken bold steps to ensure that, when it is safe to reopen our economy, we can return to full economic activity. Dems will continue to insist on protections for small businesses & working families that help ready our economy to resurge when it is safe to reopen. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The steep contraction in our economy in the first quarter of 2020 is alarming but not unexpected. We know this is only the leading edge of the downturn, and economic growth, unemployment, and poverty in the second quarter will be much worse. https://t.co/vQfCUrFuxw — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The emergency special enrollment period continues through June 15. Financial assistance is available for many, and I encourage uninsured Marylanders to visit https://t.co/lwHVHgQLHp to find the plan that works best for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

I join in celebrating Yom Ha’Atzmaut and in expressing my solidarity with Israelis and fellow supporters of Israel in America and around the world as we continue praying for Israel to achieve the peace and security all nations deserve. https://t.co/kjJs2PfC9h — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

As a result of our meeting, we are encouraging House committees to hold remote roundtables to further test platforms. We will continue to work on identifying changes to the House rules that can secure bipartisan support & ensure the House can continue its work in full. — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

The Virtual Congress Task Force held its second meeting over safe & secure videoconferencing technology. The call was an example of how effective remote work in the House can be. We spoke about how testing has been continuing on platforms for remote work. https://t.co/3fKFuz9hzp — PolitiTweet.org

Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer

Welcome news that @BowieState will participate in the Second Chance Pell Experiment to allow eligible incarcerated individuals to receive Pell Grants. This program has great potential, and I look forward to seeing the results of the partnership. https://t.co/p6vEWW0QxI — PolitiTweet.org
