Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Despite the severity of the COVID-19 public health and economic emergencies, no legislative or committee business related to COVID-19 has been scheduled in the Senate. That's why I am calling on @senatemajldr to immediately consider the following items next week: https://t.co/gpMOdtMPWP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Today I urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to focus the Senate’s efforts in returning to Washington, DC on COVID-19 pandemic related issues and oversight of COVID-19 related legislation enacted by Congress. MORE: https://t.co/OtDF5gx4Qy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

#WV's state government received $1.25B from the #CARESAct, but @USTreasury prohibited the use of these funds to make up for reduced revenues from the #COVID19 pandemic. Today I led 46 Senators in calling on @stevenmnuchin1 to revise this guidance. MORE: https://t.co/jEG9IYQjFR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

This morning I had a productive call with Attorney General Bill Barr to discuss the situation at FCC Hazelton and FCI Gilmer, and my opposition to the transfer of new out-of-state inmates to West Virginia. MORE: https://t.co/zzw1Iw0t7k — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

WATCH: The proposed plan by the @OfficialFBOP to relocate prisoners from #COVID19 hotspots to #WV prisons puts our already vulnerable population and our corrections officers & their families at risk. I’m calling on @AGWilliamBarr to stop this plan that endangers West Virginians. https://t.co/dfc6B1MKK7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Today’s Better Angel is Ripley Elementary School teacher Ann Johnson. Ann is continuing to teach music to K-5th grade students by utilizing social media. I truly appreciate Ann and all our WV teachers for being #WVStrong for our students during this difficult time. https://t.co/1NHx45D8ns — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

WATCH: African Americans are disproportionately impacted by #COVID19. That's why I participated in calls w/ WV African American leaders to hear their concerns & pledge to make testing more accessible. We need demographic data of those being tested so we can correct disparities. https://t.co/fDGpqMdSjK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

It is critical that the @DeptVetAffairs covers COVID-19 mobile testing sites in the same manner as urgent and emergency care, so Veterans can easily access these testing sites. Today @SenCapito and I wrote to @SecWilkie requesting this change. MORE: https://t.co/YuACaTmroL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

.@SBAgov's West Virginia District Office is hosting a webinar at 2 p.m. today to discuss the various programs available to assist small businesses with #COVID19 recovery. Learn more: https://t.co/X9p6Gu3Qaj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Today’s Better Angel is Chelsey Dobbs, a graduate of River View High School, @BluefieldState, & McDowell HSTA who is currently working on the front lines of the pandemic at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Thanks to Chelsey & all healthcare workers for being #WVStrong! https://t.co/6WXtALDE96 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

#ICYMI: Our radio & television broadcasters and rural newspapers provide local and national news, emergency alerts, educational programs, & more to all corners of the United States. That’s why I led 74 Senators in calling for relief for these vital outlets https://t.co/iK8wtXrBFr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

There’s a lot of information coming out about #COVID19. It’s important that West Virginians stay informed, and that’s why I’m sending out a daily coronavirus newsletter. Subscribe here: https://t.co/cbYJ0Vegcn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Today’s Better Angels are the team at Berkeley County Meals on Wheels. 120 volunteer drivers, packers, servers and kitchen staff have delivered 1,000 meals per week to homebound seniors during this pandemic, ensuring that no senior goes without a meal. Thanks for being #WVStrong! https://t.co/SMlwTy0Lwp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

WATCH: We can’t let rural America & rural West Virginia get left behind when it comes to healthcare and broadband, which is essential for access to telemedicine. That’s why I will continue to fight for a rural set-aside for future #COVID19 relief funding. @WOWK13News https://t.co/freFwS9o0r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Across West Virginia, students are adjusting to new forms of learning and need support to continue their educations. That is why I successfully fought to increase funding for education in the original CARES Act proposal to help our students. MORE: https://t.co/clGrhxz78n — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Read my letter to Attorney General Barr urging him to immediately halt plans by the @OfficialFBOP to send new out-of-state inmates from #COVID19 hotspot regions of the country to #WV correctional institutions to quarantine: https://t.co/TLIWLn9HIa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Today I urged U.S. Attorney General William Barr to immediately halt plans to send new out-of-state inmates from #COVID19 hotspot regions to FCC Hazelton & FCI Gilmer to quarantine. This decision puts WV's already vulnerable population at greater risk. https://t.co/W8EUF20M6R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I am deeply troubled by plans the Bureau of Prisons are considering to transport new inmates from COVID-19 hotspot regions of the country to West Virginia for quarantine. My full statement: https://t.co/EgPaIk5T1M — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Healthcare providers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and our rural hospitals, many of which were already running on shoestring budgets, are taking a financial hit. I'm proud to announce more than $1.8M that will help WV hospitals. MORE: https://t.co/c0EtvW2DmA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Today’s Better Angel is Sydney Cagle of Martinsburg. Sydney is 83-years-young, and she has been preparing lunches to donate to those in need and her son helps her deliver them. Sydney, thank you for everything you’re doing during this difficult time. You’re truly #WVStrong! https://t.co/QnMkk1bQIt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Telehealth is helpful if you have internet service, but in many parts of #WV, you don’t. That's why I joined my colleagues in calling for immediate funding for vital broadband infrastructure for telehealth & distance learning. @WVNews247 https://t.co/WtyQz2sxnb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Without widespread testing, which West Virginia does not currently have, it will be difficult to treat everyone who has been affected by COVID-19 and reopen our businesses and economy. That's why I'm proud to announce more than $5.5M for testing in #WV. https://t.co/kOg8vfTNTB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Read my letter to @AjitPaiFCC, calling on him to work with broadband service providers and Congress to increase access to mobile broadband hotspots across rural America. https://t.co/bwFWgaELFN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

The #COVID19 pandemic has thrown into stark contrast the digital divide in our country, but mobile broadband hotspots are uniquely capable of meeting our immediate needs now while we continue to work together on addressing the longer-term challenges. MORE: https://t.co/JJ4hJy0IT6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

Following the passage of an additional $484 billion in coronavirus emergency funding today, the @SBAgov will resume accepting Paycheck Protection Program loans from lenders on Monday at 10:30AM. Visit my website for more information on available resources: https://t.co/mJKYbocxnJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I will also keep calling for flexible funding for our state and local governments to ensure they can maintain the essential services their constituents need now more than ever. https://t.co/pRBKG2F6c3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I will continue fighting to change the emergency healthcare funding distribution formula to ensure our rural providers receive their fair share & I won’t stop pushing for the commonsense, bipartisan fixes we know we need to make the PPP program work for Main St., not Wall St. https://t.co/Vc26JFH52T — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I am relieved we were finally able to agree on a bipartisan compromise that includes increased funding for healthcare providers & small biz, but I am exceedingly worried that the West Virginians who need support the most will not receive this help. MORE: https://t.co/pRBKG2F6c3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Joe Manchin @Sen_JoeManchin

I’m proud to join Mountaineers from all over the country in thanking our brave, dedicated healthcare heroes. They are truly #WVStrong! — PolitiTweet.org
