This bill doesn’t help struggling families. Americans deserve better. https://t.co/GAlUNg47ni — PolitiTweet.org

This is a man who has picked fights with, just to name a few, Gold Star families, Denmark, and most of his own Cabinet. It’s outrageous and astonishing that Vladimir Putin continues to be one of the only people in the world that President Trump seems incapable of standing up to. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

That’s why I’ve introduced a bill to allow states to experiment with portable benefits models for assisting workers and help make sure the country is better prepared to deal with these issues when the next crisis hits. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Currently, millions of independent, freelance, domestic, and entrepreneurial workers have no social safety net to fall back on. I’ve sounded the alarm on this for years. As COVID-19 has shown, this problem can wreak havoc on both individual families and our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenateFloor: 4:22 p.m. - Senator @MarkWarner of Virginia objected to the substitute amendment unanimous consent request. https://t.co/S… — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I’m on the Senate floor with @SenDougJones fighting to pass the States Achieve Medicaid Expansion (SAME) Act. As the country surpasses 4 million COVID-19 cases, this bill will allow states to further benefit from expanding Medicaid. https://t.co/advG2oOAu5 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Folks, this isn’t about conservative vs. liberal or Democrat vs. Republican. It’s about the future vs. the past, and it’s time Congress and the President stepped up to deal with the real challenges we face. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

And part of that means not falling for the red herring that this is really about ‘anti-conservative bias’ as President Trump and his allies would have you believe. https://t.co/GCqpgOFPcm — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

A big part of that involves promoting competition in these markets by providing control, choice, and flexibility for users. The history of U.S. communications law offers many important lessons we can draw from in crafting new frameworks for tech platforms. https://t.co/SfyfGaqKQI — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Now, I’m not really in the ‘Break Them Up’ crowd – although that’s always an option. I am, however, very interested in adopting innovative solutions that inject competition into these markets and rebalance the playing field in favor of consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We often hear that U.S. providers serve as counterweights to Chinese platforms. I’m not sure that holds up when we see companies like Google willing to build censorship tools to appease the PRC or share data with Chinese apps. https://t.co/dwnZbwyXRX — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We need to know what data companies are collecting, what they’re doing with it, how they’re profiting from it, and also have a better understanding of what it’s worth so we can assess whether consumers are getting a fair deal. https://t.co/SDHNiMXT7I — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The dominance also depends on information asymmetry – platforms today are collecting copious amounts of data on consumers, in ways that consumers are totally unwitting to. Part of comprehensive reform in this area involves passing data protection laws. https://t.co/VMeg8mw4Ur — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

In many cases, this dominance is predicated on a range of deceptive and unfair business practices that trick users into handing over their personal data, or consenting to unfair terms of service. https://t.co/rMO1dvwhFB — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Two years ago I released a set of proposals aimed at bringing greater transparency, accountability, competition, and fairness to the digital economy – and reining in the Wild West era of unregulated tech. https://t.co/h1GajCM8v6 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

As I’ve come to often say, ‘data is the new oil.’ But for the companies that have successfully built business models to collect it, it’s even better than oil: these companies capture not just our data but our attention, commerce, and social interactions. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It wasn’t too long ago that some of these companies weren’t even willing to show up in front of Congress and face these important questions. https://t.co/zdje0ovfTx — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I’m glad the House Judiciary Committee called their hearing today. It’s important we inspect these companies and their business practices – and ensure that they aren’t unfairly disadvantaging competition and harming consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The #NeighborhoodJobs Act provides financial assistance to Black, brown, and low-income communities. Will it solve every problem in terms of equality and access to capital? No. But it's a start. https://t.co/Krx1eV9kTl — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Dreamers shouldn't have to live under the constant fear that DACA protections will be taken away at a moment's notice. The U.S. is the only country that many of them have ever called home. We must keep fighting for Dreamers to be protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

There are real human costs to inaction. We need a bill that matches the scale of the crisis and the needs of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

6) Adequate funds for testing and hospitals 7) Sufficient funds for K-12 schools 8) Money for broadband access It’s wild that Republicans would rather spend $1.7 billion on rebuilding the FBI building to help the President than use it to help millions of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

5) Funding for state & local governments being forced to lay off workers · The Senate GOP proposal ignores the warnings of local leaders & also those of economists who have cautioned about the long-term impacts of failing to address local gov't revenue shortfalls due to COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The bill DOES NOT include: 1) Food assistance for kids 2) Hazard pay for essential workers 3) Rental assistance for millions facing evictions 4) Money for communities of color — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Our country is in the middle of multiple crises. The COVID relief package released yesterday by Republicans is out of touch with the grim reality facing communities large & small across the nation, which local leaders of both parties have highlighted over the past several months. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

It was a pleasure to ZOOM with the VA School Boards Assoc yesterday. Even though the GOP did not include money for broadband access in their new “relief” bill, I will continue to fight for universal broadband – so that every child can access the internet needed to learn. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The new GOP COVID relief bill doesn’t have money for food assistance – but it does include $1.7 billion for a new FBI headquarters in D.C. that the FBI doesn’t want. https://t.co/B8iBvWRauD — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

As we work to secure additional funding for the survival of businesses across the country, I am proud to work with my colleagues on this next step in not only lifting up the hardest-hit communities but ensuring they thrive in the coming months. #NeighborhoodJobs — PolitiTweet.org

That is why I have legislation to preclude this administration from telling schools when and how they should reopen. https://t.co/zwPRsDourd — PolitiTweet.org
