In the face of a global pandemic, access to affordable, quality health care is more important than ever. We must continue our fight to #ProtectOurCare and push back against Republican attacks on these crucial resources. — PolitiTweet.org

It is now incumbent on the Administration and European leaders to convert the report’s findings into meaningful action that directly benefits Holocaust survivors and their families, for whom the report’s findings are long-overdue. They deserve our urgent attention and support. — PolitiTweet.org

As a proud cosponsor of the bipartisan legislation that called for this report, I thank the hardworking staff at the State Department for providing this instructive and significant document. #JUSTActReport — PolitiTweet.org

With the release of the Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today (JUST) Act Report, the United States calls on countries, that have not already adequately done so, to provide restitution or compensation for property confiscated during the darkest chapter of human history. — PolitiTweet.org

Tragically, there is still so much work to be done to provide some measure of justice to the survivors of the Holocaust and their families. Throughout my career in Congress, I have and will continue to support efforts to address their needs. — PolitiTweet.org

The passing of the Child Care for Economic Recovery Act and Chairwoman @Rosa_DeLauro’s bill is a monumental response to an unprecedented moment for child care providers across the country & the children, families, & businesses in every industry that count on child care every day. — PolitiTweet.org

I am so glad to have @SpeakerPelosi by my side as we invest in the health, security, and education of our children. Child care providers operate on razor thin margins, and protecting both child care workers and our children from the virus is an urgent necessity. — PolitiTweet.org

HR 7327 would reimburse child and dependent care costs incurred by essential workers who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe during the pandemic by providing $850 million in Social Services Block Grant funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Adapting to COVID-19 will increase operating costs, and HR 7327 will help our child care providers keep their doors open and lights on with a new refundable tax credit to help cover costs for rent, mortgages, and utilities. #SaveChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

Transformative investments in child care are long overdue. This bill would more than triple mandatory funds for the Child Care Entitlement to States – which hasn’t been increased in over a decade – to $10 billion a year. #SaveChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

We must address our nation’s pre-existing need for affordable quality child care & respond to the new challenge of COVID-19. HR 7237 invests $10 billion to fix hazardous conditions in child care facilities and to protect our children and caretakers from the virus. #SaveChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

We include funding for the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance program to ensure the families who need it most are aware of this credit and are able to benefit from it. #SaveChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

Quality child care makes all the difference, but affordable access to it is out of reach for many, especially families of color. HR 7327 would make the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit fully refundable for the first time, putting $ back in the pockets of hardworking families. — PolitiTweet.org

I urge support for both H.R. 7327 and H.R. 7027 to provide critical relief for families, child care providers, and essential workers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. #SaveChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

Every single industry counts on child care. In order to save our economy, we need to #SaveChildCare, which is why I introduced HR 7327 the Child Care for Economic Recovery Act with my @AppropsDems and @WaysMeansCmte colleagues. https://t.co/cMshetZv0j — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to join @janschakowsky and colleagues in calling to repeal the Helms Amendment. This policy harms women, particularly those of color. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration is defying a federal court order and undermining the Supreme Court by refusing to process #DACA applications. Trump is putting the lives of immigrant youth in danger of deportation and he must change course and accept these applications today. #HomeIsHere — PolitiTweet.org

I’m so glad the House passed this bill today, as it would provide critical investments to help residents in my district and throughout the country, including record funding to support the Long Island Sound. — PolitiTweet.org

The Americans with Disability Act was landmark legislation that has helped millions of Americans live with the dignity and respect they deserve. Now, at #ADA30, we must renew our fight and address the challenges faced by Americans with disabilities today. https://t.co/k5CAzXOLK7 — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, I spoke to honor my good friend John Lewis. We must carry on Congressman Lewis’ legacy of “good trouble” to achieve the equitable and just society for all that he fought so hard to attain. In the words of John himself, “If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” https://t.co/ksHtwk9ch6 — PolitiTweet.org
