This is the truth and shame on us if we ignore it any longer. Americans are in the streets demanding real reform and justice that is long overdue. We have a responsibility to take up that work and change our broken system. — PolitiTweet.org

During this moment of silence, we remember the 100,000+ Americans lost to COVID-19. These are not just statistics. Each represents a life taken too soon and a family torn apart. My heart is with those they leave behind. https://t.co/RrxWOUgMI4 — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago today the Virginia Beach community was rocked by the tragic shooting that claimed the lives of 12 Virginians. A year later, we are still #VBStrong https://t.co/vyBrtwySdG — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another example of our adversaries using anonymous shell companies to undermine our national security. Time to shine some light on this dark corner of our financial system and pass the ILLICIT CASH Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

This is a sad distraction. At a time when common sense regulation of these dominant companies is desperately needed, the President is threatening retaliation if they try to reign in the disinformation, targeted harassment, and voter suppression taking place on their platforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

In a just America, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor would still be alive today. We need to pursue not only accountability for their killers, but true justice where our system treats the lives of black Americans with full and equal dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Just got word from @USDA that this important program to help folks facing tough times will go live in Virginia starting tomorrow! — PolitiTweet.org

I know some folks might think of Memorial Day as just another long weekend. But we know that for so many Gold Star families, this is one of the toughest days of the year. Let’s all take some time today to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our great country. — PolitiTweet.org

I want to take a moment today to say Eid Mubarak to everyone in the Muslim community here in Virginia and around the world. Although you may be celebrating a bit differently this year, I hope you will find the time to connect with those who matter most. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I say this as a strong supporter of Israel: Israel should not unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank. It could threaten the security of Israel and the region and hurt the potential for peace with the Palestinians. — PolitiTweet.org

This move by the Chinese Communist Party will undoubtedly deny the people of #HongKong the basic rights and liberties that China has long promised them. I stand with the people of Hong Kong. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

The proposal Bernie, @SenDougJones, @SenBlumenthal & I just introduced is simple: Rank-and-file workers who’ve lost their jobs because of the coronavirus will go back to receiving their paychecks & benefits until it is safe to go back to work. We need #PaycheckSecurity now. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been two years since Bijan Ghaisar was shot and killed by US Park Police, and still we are waiting for answers from the Department of the Interior about what happened that night. I'm prepared to hold up the Department’s nominees until we get answers. https://t.co/eEm497X134 — PolitiTweet.org

This thread is worth a full read. When we talk about coronavirus, we can’t separate the issue from the need to expand access to healthcare and address centuries-old racial disparities in our system. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Our paycheck security idea is being supported by everyone from conservative republicans to Bernie, and folks in between. Heck even the @NYTimes and @WSJ editorial boards have voiced support, and they hardly ever agree on anything! — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Things are bad now, but the experts are telling us they can get a lot worse if we don’t act. This is not the time for “wait and see.” It’s time to help our fellow Americans in need so we can begin getting our economy back on track. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Yes, that means the federal government should pay employers to put these workers back on the payroll, so they can go back to their jobs just as soon as it is safe to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We need to create a Paycheck Security Program that puts paychecks in the hands of the millions of Americans who’ve gone from a steady job to unemployment through no fault of their own. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

But we also need to act now to help those people who have lost their jobs. Unemployment insurance is an important safety net to help people in the short term, if they can get it. But what these workers really need is their paychecks. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

If done right, this can help give businesses the liquidity they need to prevent further layoffs and eventually put a lot of people back to work when it is safe to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

I am eagerly looking forward to the Fed implementing the Main Street Lending Facility that I worked on, which will help mid-sized businesses, like a local manufacturer with 500 or maybe 1000 workers, get the cash they need to stay afloat during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

If we are going to prevent a long, dragged out recovery, or even another economic depression, we need bold action now to help workers who are struggling. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

Just finished questioning Fed Chairman Jay Powell in the Banking Committee and I want to share the absolutely devastating stat I asked him about: According to the Fed, 40% of workers making under $40K have lost their jobs in the last 2 months His response is a call to action: — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

We shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that 36 million+ Americans who’ve lost their jobs will just go back to work overnight. Recovery is going to take time, and we should get workers back on the payroll with federally guaranteed paychecks until it is safe to go back to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Warner @MarkWarner

This is a win-win, and we should pass it immediately. I’m proud to join my friends @ChefJoseAndres, @SenKamalaHarris, and @SenatorTimScott on this important legislation to help Americans in need by supporting our local independent restaurants. — PolitiTweet.org
