To survive the Holocaust, my mom was sent to live with a village nurse. My grandmother to a Catholic convent. My grandfather to a candy-maker's cellar. Today #WeRemember the millions who did not survive, and we reaffirm our responsibility to confront hate in all its forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Attacking immigrants and spreading fear won’t protect us from this virus. Universal testing and supplies and equipment will. — PolitiTweet.org

Rural communities are facing unique challenges in this crisis. I recently spoke w/ rural county elected officials to discuss their concerns and priorities, and my efforts to get them the federal funds they need. Working together, we’ll help rural Colorado through this crisis. https://t.co/q9XFC91Ajj — PolitiTweet.org

These are trying times. And for many Coloradans, every day this pandemic goes on brings new challenges. If you’re not able to pay your rent or mortgage because of #COVID19, check out these FAQs about evictions & foreclosures to help you keep your home ➡️ https://t.co/zqo01iuTPW — PolitiTweet.org

21 years ago, our hearts broke after the unspeakable tragedy at #Columbine. Like millions of students, my daughters have spent their entire lives in its shadow–afraid they could be gunned down at a school, movie, or concert. I didn't grow up in that America. Neither should they. — PolitiTweet.org

Attention Colorado businesses: take a look at this list of funding opportunities from @ColoradoEcoDevo – and check back often as it’s being updated daily ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

What a great initiative. Thanks to the volunteers at Operation We Can Sew It who are working to make sure our first responders and those on the front lines of this crisis have what they need to stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the @AF_Academy Class of 2020! We’re proud of all you have accomplished and grateful for your service. #USAFAGrad2020 https://t.co/sm6NAL6s9S — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: The $1,200 stimulus checks will now be delivered automatically (meaning, without having to file a tax return) to veterans who receive benefits from Veterans Affairs. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

What a fitting tribute to our front line workers, military members, first responders, and, of course, @AF_Academy graduates. This is sure to bring some much-needed excitement to communities across Colorado. https://t.co/bJ6mtVFz1O — PolitiTweet.org

Heads Up: Starting Monday, @ColoradoLabor will begin accepting applications for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. That means the self-employed, gig workers, and contractors will be eligible and everyone will get an extra $600 per week. Details below ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Parents, have you heard about the face mask design challenge for kids? Some of the designs will be will be printed on real face masks. Learn more about this opportunity for kids to use their creativity to help #FlattenTheCurve here ➡️ https://t.co/VLqjX8SnbN #DoingMyPartCO — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Inspiring to see. @TeamRubicon veterans served and protected our country. Now, they're working to ensure those on the front lines of the #Covid19 crisis have the necessary PPE to keep themselves safe while they protect our communities. #DoingMyPartCO https://t.co/RhwW7rUd3S — PolitiTweet.org

@SenCoryGardner @GovofCO Finally, we have to significantly expand the PPP lending program for small businesses. It should cover four times payroll costs, instead of 2.5. It should do more to help cover non-payroll expenses. And it should be open to more kinds of businesses and nonprofits. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@SenCoryGardner @GovofCO We need to provide far more support to our frontline health care providers, especially in our rural and underserved communities. We’re relying on them more than ever, but they face real risk of shutting their doors as their incomes collapse during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@SenCoryGardner @GovofCO We need to increase SNAP benefits by 15% and cut red tape in the program to help families hit hardest by the pandemic get access to food assistance. Hours-long lines at overwhelmed food banks are unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@SenCoryGardner @GovofCO As negotiations continue in Congress, @SenCoryGardner, @GovofCO, and I made very clear that any interim agreement must include this critical state and local funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@SenCoryGardner @GovofCO We need $500B in flexible relief for our state and local governments. The last thing we need in a pandemic is to force our communities to cut critical services that are keeping us healthy and safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Colorado needs Washington to come together and provide critical new relief. Yesterday, @SenCoryGardner, @GovofCO & I sent a letter to Senate leaders outlining commonsense priorities that reflect our consensus in CO for what to include in the next package. https://t.co/DsWwuYR4Py — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of protecting public health amid a global pandemic, President Trump’s @EPA is callously undermining key protections that prevent air pollution and save thousands of lives. — PolitiTweet.org
