The Navajo Nation is experiencing one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks per cap in the country, and have lost over 70 beloved community members. Mayor Tappan of Page, AZ should offer his help to the Nation instead of making racist comments on Facebook. — PolitiTweet.org

59 years ago today, 13 brave Americans started a dangerous journey through the segregated south. Today, as we face a global crisis, we honor the #FreedomRiders with a renewed commitment to the fight for justice and equality for all. https://t.co/vNo3aFTAK7 — PolitiTweet.org

We all want to help small businesses bounce back from COVID. It’s about making sure our plan helps everyone who needs it- not just certain regions or members of certain banks. My door is open to any other leaders who have that same goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

All of these are reasons that we need a better system. That’s why I proposed sending money directly to small businesses with under 50 employees- so they can all get the help they need without being hurt by outside factors. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, banks aren’t participating in PPP equally: banks with more small business lending aren’t giving out proportionate PPP funding. So, depending on your bank and its resources, factors outside your control could impact access to PPP. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

PPP funds aren’t being sent to the areas most impacted by COVID-19. The fraction of establishments getting PPP $$ is actually HIGHER in areas with fewer deaths and infections, and less social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Is the Paycheck Protection Program helping the people who need it most? This UChicago study says the first round of PPP funding might not have gone to the businesses and areas hit hardest by the COVID crisis. (thread 👇) https://t.co/p7QFiEEz2q — PolitiTweet.org

Census Day was one month ago today and so far 44.6% of #AZ07 has responded to the #2020Census. There’s still time to complete the Census by mail, phone, or at https://t.co/liFT152Szn and help our community get the resources that it needs for hospitals and schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Tribes still have to wait longer & jump through more hoops for COVID aid than other communities, even though Indian Country has been hit harder. We must do better & make sure aid Congress passes actually gets into Tribes’ hands in a timely manner. https://t.co/jcd3RvHj3J — PolitiTweet.org

Treasury previously planned to begin releasing these funds on Tuesday, but plans seemed to change when a Court ruling didn’t go their way. It is cruel to make Tribes wait even longer than the month they already have for economic relief. @stevenmnuchin1: Release this aid NOW! — PolitiTweet.org

The PPP is failing too many small local businesses. Large corporations shouldn’t be allowed to jump the line & receive millions while smaller family-owned businesses are left out. My plan would provide across-the-board checks to every business & nonprofit w under 50 employees. https://t.co/d6cmjcWMDO — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

PPP is failing small businesses who need it most. We need to get money directly to those who are being left behind. My plan would level the playing field by immediately sending checks so businesses & nonprofits can pay employees & continue as the backbone of our economy. https://t.co/RF1XJMtT4O — PolitiTweet.org

This admin & @Treasury have decided to follow the law & allow small Tribal businesses to access the PPP after I pushed them to for weeks. They must now also follow the law & stop trying to divert Tribal govt relief aid to for-profit corporations. https://t.co/tJpgS8DCQb — PolitiTweet.org

Ruben Gallego @RepRubenGallego

Thank you @SBA for finally following the law & ensuring small Tribal gaming operations can access PPP. This is critical for Tribes and rural communities. Next time, please make sure Tribes are included from Day 1. — PolitiTweet.org
