Held news conference this morning with @janicejackson to discuss @SenateDems $430B plan for investing in education & child care in the wake of the #COVID19 pandemic. This crucial funding must be included in the next federal relief package—regardless of what the President may say. https://t.co/kdUBEJnOIj — PolitiTweet.org

I’m against including #4profit colleges in the next #COVID19 relief package. Congress shouldn’t fund these predatory money making machines. Joining my colleagues in making our position on this matter clear to Senate leadership. https://t.co/nkvvYtZnlA — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans lost their jobs & health insurance due to #COVID19. They shouldn't have to choose between their physical & financial health. My commonsense bill with @SenWhitehouse will offer families some relief from their financial hardships. https://t.co/yhNvk47sKQ — PolitiTweet.org

We have a teaching crisis in communities across the country that pays our educators too little & incentivizes high quality & experienced educators to work in more affluent areas. The negative impact on students in Black & Brown neighborhoods & low-income communities is drastic. — PolitiTweet.org

The President kept promising this virus would just "disappear," and Senate Republicans followed his lead. We now have more than 4 million cases & 142,000+ deaths from #COVID19 in the US. Their response to this virus has failed the American people in every possible way. — PolitiTweet.org

The last time the Senate took up #COVID19 related legislation was March 26—what has Sen. McConnell been waiting for? CARES Act unemployment benefits expire this month.
