Thanks to Donald Trump, it's open season on whistleblowers. I asked Ratcliffe how he would handle whistleblower complaints; by sending them directly to Congress as required by law, or allowing the Trump administration to interfere with political games. He couldn't answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

I pressed Ratcliffe on whether the President can go around the FISA statute to conduct warrantless wiretapping, as AG Barr has said. He avoided the question. Trump, Barr and Ratcliffe are setting the stage for more unchecked spying on American citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

John Ratcliffe, Donald Trump's nominee to serve as Director of National Intelligence came to the Senate Intelligence Committee to answer questions today. It didn't go so well. — PolitiTweet.org

Relying on online voting is like placing our ballot boxes on the streets of Moscow. #VoteByMail is the safest way to vote during a pandemic. https://t.co/rJRFrMcRRD — PolitiTweet.org

Small businesses across the country have been hit with an economic wrecking ball. It's clear more needs to be done to help them weather this storm. I'm fighting to make sure small businesses don't fall through the cracks as Congress works to put together another relief package. — PolitiTweet.org

Unprecedented challenges must be met with bold solutions. Supercharged unemployment insurance is a lifeline for millions of workers struggling to make ends meet. But this crisis is ongoing. I'm pushing to extend additional benefits for the duration of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

We are 183 days away from the 2020 election and Mitch McConnell is still refusing to expand #VoteByMail through November so that Americans won’t be forced to choose between their health and exercising their constitutional right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Voting by mail in Oregon is “wheel easy.” See for yourself: https://t.co/1d4yMatzMB — PolitiTweet.org

As usual, big corporations are getting richer and minority-owned small businesses are getting left behind. Congress must be doing more to ensure minority and women-owned businesses don't fall through the cracks during this economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Thirty MILLION Americans have lost their jobs in a little over a month and Republicans are still debating the merits of unemployment assistance. Instead of turning this into partisan floor debate get to work helping American families. — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon should have a strategic food reserve on hand for crises like this pandemic, or potential disasters like an earthquake or tsunami. Here’s how I think the #OregonWay and other strategies can achieve that goal: https://t.co/5BwDJgJl1y — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Oregon has been using #VoteByMail for decades. It's safe, easy, and effective. Voting by mail is the solution to save our elections in November. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Full stop. https://t.co/H9AdlMMVzu — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Over 30 million Americans have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Meanwhile Republicans in Congress and Trump officials are STILL claiming that workers are taking advantage of unemployment benefits for their own gain. Let that sink in. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Even corporate America agrees that #COVID19 relief funds should have gone to workers and businesses in need. That's why I have a bill to give cash directly to small businesses to help them stay afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The head of the national coronavirus task force doesn't know how masks work. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

By reopening before it’s safe, states are forcing workers to choose between their money and their life. The cruelty of the Republican Party knows no bounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Small businesses in Oregon and nationwide have been hit with an economic wrecking ball. Congress must do more to help them stay afloat by passing my relief bill to give these businesses the resources they need to keep the lights on. https://t.co/X8t7XtleoX — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re an Oregonian and you recently lost your job as a result of this ongoing crisis, you can apply for supercharged unemployment benefits here: https://t.co/2Q94JBvjv6 — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Glad that the self-employed, gig workers and others who I worked to include in the supercharged unemployment insurance needed to weather #COVID19 can now get benefits in Oregon and that their claims will be paid retroactively. https://t.co/XPXkUZj46S — PolitiTweet.org

Like so many businesses during #COVID19, newspapers in Oregon and nationwide are struggling – all at a time when reliable news is key. As the son of a journalist, I know how vitally important newspapers are to their communities. https://t.co/5aR8UgMiIy — PolitiTweet.org

While Republicans seem committed to sabotaging any and all efforts to help American workers, I'm fighting to extend supercharged unemployment benefits through the duration of this crisis. This funding is a lifeline that will help millions of workers weather this economic storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

The same Republicans who voted in favor of blowing a $2 trillion hole in the deficit in 2017 are now crying foul as Democrats fight to extend a lifeline for the millions of Americans that have lost their jobs because of #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

This is a lie. — PolitiTweet.org

My first-ever virtual town hall couldn’t have happened without the leadership of @townhallproject. I’m so thankful for its commitment to finding new and innovative ways to empower citizens to hold their elected leaders to a higher standard. https://t.co/iCv6wumTxY — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 has shown us that America's health care system is dangerously unprepared for a public health crisis. Now more than ever we need a system that will provide quality, affordable care for every single American. The solution is strengthening Medicaid. https://t.co/WzoO2lhT3E — PolitiTweet.org
