Across the US workers are getting sick–literally putting their lives on the line–to do the jobs America desperately needs to keep us safe and healthy. On #WorkersMemorialDay we honor those who lost their lives on the job & commit to doing everything we can to protect our workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for your work to ensure all Coloradans have access to nutritious food- especially critical in times of crisis like now. — PolitiTweet.org

By starting the conversation, providing support, and directing help to those who need it, we can prevent suicides and save lives. https://t.co/H7EdNac6bY — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It should be much easier for Coloradans to get the mental health support they need, especially during a crisis like the one we’re currently facing. That’s why I'm calling to establish 9-8-8 as the national suicide hotline and mental health crisis hotline. — PolitiTweet.org

In the middle of a crisis, Secretary DeVos is playing politics with the livelihoods of DACA students -- blocking them from emergency aid in the CARES Act despite the law's intent. @SenatorMenendez and I demanded that she reverse course and ensure they can access the aid. — PolitiTweet.org

We all have to sacrifice and #StayHome to protect ourselves and our communities. Economic Impact Payments help those who’ve experienced financial hardship as a result. If you haven’t received a payment, use this IRS tool to quickly and easily sign up ⬇️ https://t.co/HYeBeLqGUZ — PolitiTweet.org

Yet, the administration continues its effort to strip away coverage from millions with pre-existing conditions, even during a global pandemic. We must continue to fight for affordable, comprehensive health care coverage for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The Supreme Court overwhelmingly agrees that the attacks on the ACA that contributed to increased premiums and decreased competition around the country were illegal. https://t.co/Ebu1m8seSa — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to a conversation with #HigherEd students! — PolitiTweet.org

Many Coloradans who haven’t filed tax returns for 2018 or 2019 may still be eligible for a $1,200 payment. To learn how to sign up to receive a payment check out the resources here ⬇️ https://t.co/HYeBeLIijz — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

1.5 million Coloradans have now received direct stimulus payments totaling $2.7 billion. Many more are eligible. If you haven’t received your payment yet, but you think you should have, please contact my office here ➡️ https://t.co/XvxFheO3Zo https://t.co/vJdLwoY05g — PolitiTweet.org

We need ideas as big as the challenge we face, and I think the Health Force meets that test. That's why @gillibrandny and I plan to push hard for this proposal in the weeks ahead. https://t.co/9nzeDx4SRo — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@FCC The FCC’s mapping data is wildly inaccurate, yet this report wields it to inflate progress and undercount those who still lack access. The Commission’s broadband standard of 25 Mbps made sense years ago, but it’s of little use to keeping us competitive in the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@FCC The pandemic has made it painfully clear that millions of Americans are locked out of the benefits of modern broadband because we haven’t confronted reality. Reports like this, which assert progress on the basis of inaccurate data and outdated standards, don't help. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

It's hard to accept @FCC's conclusion that broadband is being deployed in a "timely and reasonable basis" when kids are sitting in Wal-Mart parking lots to do their homework online. My full statement in response to the FCC's Broadband Report ⬇️ https://t.co/aPADThfJ2E — PolitiTweet.org

Coloradans continue to support one another in uplifting ways during this crisis. Check out this great story about Supporting Pueblo, an effort to help connect consumers to locally owned businesses in their community. #DoingMyPartCO https://t.co/BiH819HXBk — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Our rural hospitals are reeling as they try to manage this unprecedented crisis. We called on @SBAgov to ensure they all can access PPP funding and continue to serve their communities, and are thankful they listened to our call ⬇️ https://t.co/S589T3D9Qj — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We are in the midst of a once-in-a-century public health challenge. That's why @gillibrandny and I introduced the Health Force – to put Americans back to work on the front lines of responding to the #COVID19 crisis. Learn more here ➡️ https://t.co/S1kz0cebIh — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The $400M in CARES Act election grants requires states to provide a 20% funding match, but #COVID19 has made that very hard by pushing state budgets to the brink. @SenatorCollins and I called for an urgent fix so states can get the support they need. https://t.co/pawRyR3DjE — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

.@SenatorHassan, @SenSherrodBrown, @SenBooker and I are leading our colleagues in calling on @USTreasury to ensure Social Security recipients who are taking care of children receive their #COVID19 stimulus payments ASAP ⬇️ https://t.co/SASTE7ZvvZ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Hundreds of members of the CO National Guard have been on the front lines of the fight against #COVID19 for weeks, supporting testing, making masks, and helping with logistics. Thanks for your tireless efforts @CONG1860 #DoingMyPartCO https://t.co/C6Vyh7ofPp — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today more than ever, not having access to the internet means not having access to a classroom. We cannot accept that for any of Colorado’s students. Connecting every home to affordable, quality broadband has to be a priority in our next relief package. https://t.co/LQFWtVW3Kn — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Good news: Colorado hospitals are expected to soon receive @Battelle mask decontamination systems. These systems will help hospitals and health care providers sanitize N95 masks and other PPE as they continue to fight #COVID19. https://t.co/MW77VtFRzf — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The president’s “gut instinct” about unproven treatments isn’t going to end this pandemic. It’s dedicated public servants like Dr. Bright, a top vaccine expert, who will. This is a purely self-serving move by the president that only undermines our effort to end this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

While most Americans have been under stay-at-home orders, Trump has been racing to roll back life-saving pollution limits. On #EarthDay we redouble our commitment to keep fighting to hold this administration accountable – for our communities, and for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The Health Force would add hundreds of thousands of additional workers to strengthen the capacity of state and local public health agencies to keep us all safe during this crisis. We need ideas as big as the challenge we face. Great to partner with @SenGillibrand on this effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The unmatched beauty of Colorado. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay we should look to the future and how we can build a durable solution to address the climate crisis, protect our public lands, and transition to a clean energy economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Thanks for sharing this, @mixxmomma! She is absolutely right – we must be a part of the solution. Tomorrow marks the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay and her letter is a fitting reminder of who we are fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must do everything we can to protect food supply workers and ensure the stability of our food supply during this crisis. That’s why we're urging the admin to coordinate with state & local govts and the food industry to take urgent action. Our letter ⬇️ https://t.co/zQvXr1xZ3D — PolitiTweet.org
