Mail-order prescriptions are a lifeline for vulnerable populations during this pandemic. These delays are absolutely unacceptable. Postmaster General DeJoy needs to get USPS back to running at full capacity immediately. https://t.co/xkdcGfugOu — PolitiTweet.org

My colleagues & I called for USCIS to delay furloughs last week. But using this as an excuse to delay naturalization & other critical immigration cases is unjustified & unacceptable. USCIS has sufficient funding to continue its operations without interruption. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks 3 years since the Burmese military undertook its latest campaign of violence against the Rohingya people in Burma's Rakhine state, forcing 700,000+ people to flee to Bangladesh. The Rohingya deserve justice & the Burmese gov't & military must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Admin’s illegally appointed Acting DHS Secretary is breaking the law. Again. @DHS had no right to pause DACA renewals in the first place. SCOTUS rejected Pres. Trump’s repeal of DACA. That means the Trump Admin must fully reopen DACA or the courts will force them to. — PolitiTweet.org

While the Trump Admin tries to explain away its incursions into the independence of immigration courts, its supposedly neutral policies tip the scales of justice against immigrants during the #COVID19 crisis. Read our letter: https://t.co/FtgUagPqv2 — PolitiTweet.org

In 2017 & 2018, Medicare spent $1.4B on cancer drugs that were thrown away. Why? Because Big Pharma produced over-sized vials with a higher dose than is needed, leaving seniors & taxpayers to foot the bill on these discarded medications. https://t.co/ky5ivqqHMX — PolitiTweet.org
