@SenToomey @CDCgov As we use homemade masks, we have to redouble our work to provide our health care workers with enough N95 masks to do their jobs. Given the shortages, it’s completely unacceptable for any American to hoard N95 masks or other protective gear if they’re not a health care worker. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, @SenToomey and I are calling on @CDCgov to advise Americans to wear homemade masks when they have to leave the house. It's still critical for everyone to stay home and practice social distancing, but when you absolutely have to go out, DIY masks can help #FlattenTheCurve. — PolitiTweet.org

"It doesn't take a pandemic to kick so many women and families into economic ruin. But maybe it takes a pandemic for the rest of the country to take notice." - Lilly Ledbetter Closing the wage gap is common sense. And it's needed now more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

The Pentagon has 1,000 ventilators ready to ship at this very moment. But they're collecting dust because the administration hasn't offered any guidance about where to send them. The White House needs to act. Lives are literally on the line. https://t.co/E57YKu4yl1 — PolitiTweet.org

This year on #TransDayOfVisibility, it is more important than ever that we refuse to accept the daily discrimination faced by trans people in Colorado and across our country – including in our health care system. Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity with trans Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week we called on the president to immediately exercise his authorities and ramp up production of critical supplies and equipment. We’ve heard nothing. https://t.co/4wCz2VRAb2 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Last summer, the president used the Defense Protection Act to obtain rare metals needed to build lasers, jet engines, and armored vehicles. Now that we’re the middle of a pandemic, he won’t use it to secure ventilators, masks, and gowns? https://t.co/TGlPSIqSRs — PolitiTweet.org

Gutting clean car standards will increase pollution, cost jobs, and harm public health – and is never a good idea. But in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic and economic downturn? Appalling. https://t.co/FtI4g7HXhB — PolitiTweet.org

Worth a watch. We can help slow the spread of the #coronavirus in our communities by wearing simple homemade masks in public. #Masks4All — PolitiTweet.org

This is great, @boulderlibrary! — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We have to focus on supplying N95 masks for our health care & frontline workers. But the rest of us can still do our part by wearing homemade masks in public to reduce virus transmission. Here are some masks my wife Susan made for our family to help #FlattenTheCurve. #Masks4All https://t.co/FKfhOaZS9o — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to everyone who joined my #coronavirus tele-town hall yesterday. We had a great conversation on what resources are available to Coloradans and what’s in the new coronavirus stimulus package. Listen to our conversation here ⬇️ https://t.co/oE452DV0MB — PolitiTweet.org

We are in the midst of a public health and economic crisis unlike any we’ve seen. Upending the lives of 700,000 young people – many of whom are working on the front lines and caring for their families – is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

They were fine running up trillions in debt to cut taxes for big businesses & the wealthy. Now that we need to help small businesses & millions of workers who've lost jobs through no fault of their own, they want to pretend to stand on principle? Their hypocrisy knows no end. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I don’t remember any of them ever asking how we were going to pay for their $5 trillion in total tax cuts since 2001 – where we borrowed every cent instead of investing in our future. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I don't remember any Republican standing up to say we should pay for their ridiculous 2017 tax bill, which was a huge giveaway to the wealthiest individuals. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I hear some House Republicans were planning to vote against the emergency coronavirus package because they were worried about how we’re going to pay for it. That’s interesting… — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I'm pleased @HHSGov acted quickly after we asked the agency to grant Colorado a Medicaid waiver that will give our Governor and health care providers the resources and flexibility they need to respond more effectively to the #coronavirus crisis. https://t.co/tlIChfXoeW — PolitiTweet.org

Last week we announced that @dish subscribers in La Plata County could now get in-state programming. Starting this week, @DIRECTV subscribers in La Plata will also have access to @DenverChannel. More than ever, Coloradans need access to local news. https://t.co/F5m2bbEUCf — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

But this is not the end of our responsibility. We must continue working to support families, keep small businesses afloat, and ensure that our health care and frontline workers have everything they need to overcome this pandemic. My full statement ⬇️ https://t.co/GSRRXFc8Qb — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s bipartisan agreement is a major step toward addressing the unprecedented scope of this global pandemic and the need for urgent action to support American workers and families. The extra time taken to get this right resulted in a much better final product. — PolitiTweet.org
