I want every RIer to get their $1,200 #CARESAct direct payment as quickly as possible. To help, the #IRS launched a new website to help non-filing Americans receive their emergency direct payments ASAP. Learn more: https://t.co/YV3MhDvu3z — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a very happy #Easter to all those celebrating! Hope https://t.co/ZTHCK9kRdD — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: $37 million that Trump Admin diverted away from utility assistance to help seniors & low-income families keep power on during mandatory #SaferAtHome orders has been restored. Now we must get $900M in emergency #LIHEAP $ into hands of needy families https://t.co/5HJdOynEsr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Red & blue states alike are pleading for additional federal help. Congress & Trump Admin must listen & act. The #CARESAct was well-intentioned, but didn't do enough. Congressional Rs must start listening to states who are on the front lines of #COVID19. https://t.co/HBfXCehVCv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Small businesses are pleading with Congress to fix the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (#EIDL) program. Congress needs to boost EIDL support & help Main Street businesses survive. Now is time for action & problem-solving, not partisanship & more red tape. — PolitiTweet.org

There are many unsung heroes of #COVID19Crisis & all of them deserve to be fairly compensated for working hard at a time of elevated health risk. I'm pushing for #HeroesFund #hazardpay increase for #frontline workers who’ve been on the job thru-out crisis. https://t.co/SFGch5Vkle — PolitiTweet.org

RI is facing a state of emergency & these funds will provide a significant boost. Every state is grappling w/ ⬆️ costs & ⬇️revenue, while shouldering responsibility of combating #COVID19. This $ will help states & communities effectively respond now & withstand financial trauma. — PolitiTweet.org

I had a very productive call with U.S. Treasury Sec. Mnuchin today & I appreciate his commitment to making state stabilization funds available in a timely manner so states can use them to cover urgent expenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Even if you're #LeslieKnope, nobody wants sick coworkers showing up to work. Paid #sickleave saves lives. We need businesses & gov’t to work together to enhance paid sick leave & #familyleave policies to protect employees, customers, & communities. https://t.co/1MBImEBZhs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

These are difficult days, but I hope everyone is in good spirits & health. Whatever your beliefs, please remember that even amidst fear, uncertainty & despair, good things can happen. Keep the faith, be kind to others, & may we all serve a cause greater than ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

The #ceasefire in #Yemen is an encouraging development, but the opportunity may be fleeting. The U.S. should do everything possible to support the UN in ensuring much needed humanitarian relief to the Yemeni people & to push for a sustainable settlement to the broader conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: After political theater on Senate floor today, I’m pleased to report that real, bipartisan discussions have now begun on next round of Emergency #Coronavirus funding. We need to fix & enhance #PPP & take comprehensive approach to helping #smallbiz, hospitals, & states. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Congress must work together to get money into the hands of those bearing the brunt of #COVID19 pandemic. We must provide bipartisan remedies to promote public health & protect the economic well-being of people, communities, & Main Street businesses. We’re all in this together! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Nobody wants to hear this, but we're still in the early stages of the battle vs. #COVID19. We can get it under control. But to stop it from returning, we can't allow our defenses to crumble. We must invest more in testing, hospitals & health workers, #PPE, research, & vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

States & communities are facing stark decisions & taking bold, decisive action to save lives. The Trump Admin must support them or they could face financial ruin. #CARESAct included $150B for states, but that is a drop in the bucket. We must do more to help communities nationwide — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Hospitals, health centers, & primary care practices are cornerstones of our communities & public health. If they collapse under the strain of #COVID19, everyone suffers. Congress must work together to bolster our health system to keep people & the economy healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

States, hospitals, families, & #smallbiz are all pleading for additional federal help. Congress & Trump must listen & act. Safeguarding the health & well-being of ALL Americans -- not just the powerful -- requires smart & comprehensive strategy. The Admin must do a better job! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Hospitals are on the front lines of #COVID19 pandemic & Sen. McConnell knows they need more help. The #CARESAct included $100B for hospitals & health centers, but now the Trump Admin seems to be trying to divert hospital funds to pay for other things. https://t.co/n2U3VAqOy8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Let's focus on where Repubs & Dems agree: The #CARESAct aimed high, but not high enough. More help is needed. Congress should quickly deliver additional aid to families, hospitals & health centers, small businesses & employees, communities & states. Time is of the essence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Americans want principled leaders to work together & get things done. If Sen. McConnell really wanted to help small businesses, he’d skip the theater & get right to work. Families, hospitals, & states need more help too. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed

Sen. McConnell is performing a bit of political theater, requesting only $250B for #smallbiz. Dems will counter, seeking $250B for Small biz + $150B for states + $100B for hospitals. GOP will object. Then real work of negotiating & legislating begins... — PolitiTweet.org
