That’s crucial aid for Oregon workers throughout this year to help pay the rent, buy groceries and cover medical expenses. And it will help to keep our economy functioning while Oregonians focus on staying safe with social distancing and more. — PolitiTweet.org

New estimates today show that unemployed Oregonians will get an estimated $3.3 billion in much-needed help this year as part of the historic unemployment insurance expansion I worked to get into the #COVID19 package: https://t.co/c2OY35w7Au — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump wants his own companies to get a bailout, but thinks your life and the lives of your loved ones aren’t worth the cost of ventilators. https://t.co/jsf53tkOpD — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone who knows me knows I prefer a good old-fashioned town hall. But this weekend you’ll find me at my desk taking calls with Oregon businesses and state, county and local leaders to answer questions and discuss what the #COVID19 package means for Oregon workers and businesses. https://t.co/BCGmSDeblr — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

My plan in the just-passed #COVID19 package to supercharge unemployment insurance so it makes sense in the 21st century for gig workers & everybody who’s lost their job is explained in this piece I wrote for @ThePortlandTribune https://t.co/DBQmaY9x3E — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

While there’s much more that needs to be done to support all these great efforts, let’s also remember all these #OregonWay heroes -- in the “replies,” please add examples from your communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s one of the many standout #OregonWay examples in our state: @CityofSweetHome police are delivering prescriptions that vulnerable senior citizens need: https://t.co/KY8veblO8R — PolitiTweet.org

In the middle of the #COVID19 public health crisis, there are also many poignant & powerful #OregonWay stories of neighbors helping neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Hours ago Senate Republicans called the Democratic plan to help American workers by supercharging unemployment benefits a “drafting error”. Ignoring this crisis won’t make it go away. Our provision will give millions of workers the help they urgently need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

While not a panacea for the health and economic impacts of #COVID19, this package will help American families, workers, and businesses weather this storm. I will continue fighting for the resources Oregonians and their loved ones need to stay safe and healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

✅Relief for small businesses in Oregon and nationwide, including new SBA loans and grants to provide immediate funds and debt relief ✅Additional much-needed funding to help state and local health care systems respond to this crisis — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Here's a quick look at some of the provisions included in this deal that I've been fighting for: ✅A historic expansion of unemployment benefits ✅A tax credit for businesses to keep workers on payroll ✅Critical funding for state and local health care systems — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Thanks to Democratic leadership and hours of negotiation, we were able to get this deal done the right way to help Americans in need. This legislation will get real dollars to workers and small businesses who are struggling to stay afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

My plan to supercharge unemployment benefits by $600 per week would do a lot more for hard-hit workers than one-off lump sums. Republicans are playing partisan games, but I won't stop fighting until American workers get the help they need to weather this storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

While pushing corporate bailouts, Senate Republicans are also trying to strip my provision to expand unemployment insurance from the #COVID19 package. They are playing partisan games with the livelihoods of workers who will lose their jobs. https://t.co/CwdppNXvFV — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

When unemployment insurance was created in the 1930s, no one ever used the term gig economy worker. The bipartisan #COVID19 deal contains my provision to supercharge unemployment insurance to help ALL workers who have lost their jobs and are feeling an economic impact. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

I am proud to represent all of you and will keep doing my part in upholding the #OregonWay by fighting to make sure all of you get the support you need. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

And huge thanks to all the workers who provide essential goods and services in Oregon’s grocery stores, pharmacies and post offices. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

Big thanks as well to the first responders out there each day out on the streets and highways in Oregon – the police officers, firefighters, @OregonGuard & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

So huge thanks to the doctors, nurses, caregivers & all the medical providers working round-the-clock to protect Oregonians’ health in every nook & cranny of our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Ron Wyden @RonWyden

In the middle of the #COVID19 public health crisis, it’s important for all of us as Oregonians to take a moment to thank all those putting the #OregonWay into practice by working 24-7 to keep people safe. — PolitiTweet.org
