Tax giveaways to real estate investors and hedge fund managers had no business in must-pass coronavirus bill, but Republicans slipped them in anyway. Priorities. https://t.co/rgkRGLgjoi — PolitiTweet.org

Hang tough, Chuck! Its not enough to put more money into SBA without knowing who’s been left out; still no clarity on hospitals money or states money; still no PPE adequacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in at 3pm for my discussion with @TheICCFGroup & Members of the International Conservation Caucus on smart wildlife trade policies that can help prevent future pandemics & how the U.S. can be a leader on this issue: https://t.co/Cl3a8KIesl — PolitiTweet.org

Trump calls for review of the World Health Organization while lashing out against reviews of his incompetent response to #COVID19. Just another day for our very stable genius. — PolitiTweet.org

A wave of emergency support for our local economy is on the way. Over $875 million in forgivable loans have been approved for more than 4,000 RI small businesses through the @SBAgov Paycheck Protection Program so far. — PolitiTweet.org

The definition of dumb: cutting funding to the main global health organization during a global health emergency. The president needs to spend less time with stunts like this and more time building a strategy to fight COVID. https://t.co/zvRwi8VQct — PolitiTweet.org

Each & every one of these cases has a huge impact. If you don’t believe me, look at Wisconsin. The Court’s 5-4 partisan decision to limit absentee voting endangered thousands & made it too hard to vote. We need to be shouting from the rooftops about this. https://t.co/gXxQiIpwLK — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what 80 Supreme Court cases look like, laid out on the floor — 80 partisan, 5-4 Supreme Court decisions clearly favoring a big Republican donor interest, all since Roberts became chief justice in 2005. https://t.co/W7B0LUqz64 — PolitiTweet.org

Compare that to the bill’s $1,200 payments for working Americans. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress’s nonpartisan tax experts say this giveaway means: • 4 OUT OF 5 tax filers who benefit make $1 million or more • The wealthiest filers will receive an average windfall of $1.6 MILLION https://t.co/m72Gjcjoma — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a scandal to loot taxpayers during an economic and human tragedy, but that’s exactly what Republicans did in the #COVID19 relief bill. https://t.co/m0t1SNtDSJ — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent article from @TedHalstead, James Baker & George Schultz on how climate leadership will advance our national interests. Moreover, finally standing up to the fossil fuel industry will help regain America’s standing as an uncorrupted City on a Hill. https://t.co/dKrnjAPz2U — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration bungled distributing critical medical supplies & equipment to those fighting #COVID19 on the front lines. That’s why I’ve joined with @SenJackReed & other Democrats to ask VP Pence what’s being done to fix the problem. https://t.co/y1xSGGRfZk — PolitiTweet.org

Second, Republicans have nothing to say about “hostages” after pushing $195 billion millionaire investor tax scam into CARES Act. We’re trying to make sure hospitals have enough, they’re fattening up donors. — PolitiTweet.org

The CARES Act that Congress passed to address the pandemic includes a boost for unemployment benefits. According to @RI_DLT, Rhode Islanders who’ve filed for unemployment will likely start seeing that additional $600/week automatically added to their benefit this week. — PolitiTweet.org
