For 85 years, the Social Security Act has been a critical lifeline for seniors and people with disabilities. We must protect and strengthen this program so all Americans can retire with dignity. https://t.co/zS53jMqT9L — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor Navajo Code Talkers, men who exemplified American service, patriotism, & bravery. I recognized these heroes who helped us win WWII in my resolution honoring the loyal military service of Native Americans since the American Revolution: https://t.co/2DnuvhIxng — PolitiTweet.org

Belarusians, like all people, must give their consent to be governed legitimately. They’re showing the world that they do not consent to the lies of the Minsk junta. We should support their push for democracy. https://t.co/MrT8RCXruw — PolitiTweet.org

The R-led US Senate hasn’t even taken up our bill. @senatemajldr adjourned today until September without addressing unemployment. 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Dem-led U.S. House passed the Heroes Act months ago, which would have maintained UI benefits at the current amount - with federal dollars - all over the country. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Ducey could call for a special session TODAY to increase unemployment in AZ. He is choosing not to. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Only Gov. Ducey & the Republican-controlled Arizona legislature can raise AZ unemployment up from the 2nd-to-lowest benefit amount in the country. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

But the Heroes Act is just the start. I’m also fighting for Tribal water & broadband infrastructure to prevent outbreaks & boost economic opportunity. Decades of broken promises left Indian Country more vulnerable to a pandemic. We can never let that be the case again. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

First, @senatemajldr must pass the Heroes Act, which includes: 1. $20B in economic relief funds for Tribal governments w/ improved flexibility of use 2. $2B+ for IHS, Tribal & urban Indian healthcare 3. $500M for Indian education & distance learning 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

The continued hard work that’s bringing down the curve on the Navajo Nation is a testament to the toughness & resiliency of the Navajo people & leaders like @NNPrezNez. But Congress has to act in order for all of Indian Country to defeat this virus & make a full recovery. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Efforts to disenfranchise youth could have lasting effects for decades to come. That’s why I joined @RepChrisPappas’s bill to prevent unconstitutional barriers intended to keep young people from exercising their right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

While middle-class workers are risking their lives, the Trump Admin is secretly proposing to undermine the Phoenix office in charge of workplace rights & safety issues. I’m demanding answers and that they stop their plan until all unions, stakeholders, & workers can weigh in. https://t.co/XcFHyDJyw0 — PolitiTweet.org

That is why I am working with @RepQuigley to ensure that we fix the PPP and resolve the unique issues that restaurants and the food industry face. 3/3 https://t.co/LYTL2hcARg — PolitiTweet.org

We must pass the RESTAURANTS Act to help particularly underserved restaurant businesses recover and gain access to the capital they need to pay their employees and stay in business. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Independently-owned restaurants have been uniquely devastated by the #COVID19 pandemic. Many family-owned businesses in my district have had difficulties accessing PPP loans and even when they do, PPP red tape has only made things worse. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with @RepPaulCook in extending the #payrollsupportprogram for aviation workers. Extending payroll support is bipartisan and aviation must be ready to distribute a vaccine when available. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Scowcroft was right. Had W Bush listened to him our problems in the Middle East would be a lot fewer — and more of my friends would be alive. I thank him for trying to stop a bad war, and for his service to the nation. Rest In Peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump and Ducey are patting each other on the back after they buried their heads in the sand. If either had listened to the early warnings of doctors & experts and acted quickly, thousands of people could still be alive today. https://t.co/UIz8FLtAek — PolitiTweet.org

I worked in a meatpacking facility. I have seen firsthand how the working conditions in these places put workers at high risk for contracting and spreading #COVID19. We must act quickly to protect these workers and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

55 years after the signing of the Voting Rights Act, there’s still work to do to make sure every American can cast a ballot safely & securely, without discrimination. Congress must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to #ProtectOurVote. #VRA55 https://t.co/0nb1Nu1Rnb — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wants to sabotage the census for partisan gain- and he knows doing so will hurt communities of color and low-income communities for the next decade. We must get an accurate count. — PolitiTweet.org
