Pleased to see @Illinois_Alma make good use of CARES Act funding by creating the Students FIRST: COVID-19 Emergency Fund to offset students’ financial setbacks brought on by the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/wVZVcWaElC — PolitiTweet.org

These environmental standards are intended to protect the very same communities who are being disproportionately affected by #COVID19 cases & deaths. This is a bad decision for the health and safety of the American people. https://t.co/pH0XM6clg7 — PolitiTweet.org

.@FEMA assistance is key to easing the burden on hospitals treating #COVID19 patients. Yesterday, I asked @femaregion5 Admin. Joseph to keep me informed on the progress his agency is making at McCormick Place in Chicago & in working with the state leaders to identify unmet needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Tip for Pres Trump: listen to real doctors. Clinical trials warn us to go slow on chloroquine. 1/4 of Brazilian patients developed serious heart issues. Despite President’s promotion of “Hydroxy,” real doctors remain unconvinced of the drug’s safety & effectiveness for #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm leading a group of 17 Senators in calling for robust federal COBRA subsidies to be included in any new #COVID19 legislation. We cannot allow individuals who lose their job as a result of #COVID19 to lose their employer-sponsored health coverage as well.https://t.co/kIkH6pkoX7 — PolitiTweet.org

More than 1/3 recently unemployed Americans are in danger of losing their employer health plan, or face an avg. family monthly premium of $1,700. The $600/week boost in unemployment benefits all but disappears for these folks. It's time for the federal govt to cover COBRA costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, the US is only testing 150,000 people a day. Experts say we need to be testing at least 500,000 people a day to control this outbreak - it is the only way we will ever be able to end our nationwide shelter-in-place. — PolitiTweet.org
