I've heard enough about bail outs for large corporations that can afford to influence Congress. When are we going to bail out the essential workers risking their lives, small businesses struggling to stay afloat and ordinary Americans who can barely pay the bills? https://t.co/wq9LDbWqhJ — PolitiTweet.org

Black Americans are 13.4% of the U.S. population. But counties with higher Black populations represent more than half of COVID-19 cases and almost 60% of deaths. We must fight health inequities and provide more support to the communities most impacted. https://t.co/ZjUXxqfoVL — PolitiTweet.org

Much of the Paycheck Protection Program relief has gone to businesses that have existing relationships with large banks. Many of the small businesses who actually create the most jobs — many of them minority and women-owned — have been left behind. The PPP must focus on them. https://t.co/M9ojPYgOuQ — PolitiTweet.org

@kishineff I said I would vote no on the rule and push for progressive policy which 9 of us did. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 Over 33M Americans are unemployed. 🚨 Essential workers are risking their lives to keep the economy moving — many without PPE. 🚨 People are receiving huge hospital bills for COVID-19 treatment. We must get to work immediately on a stimulus package to #PutPeopleFirst. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 has revealed the instability of our food supply. The result of a market dominated by huge corporations. I'm proud to introduce the Farm System Reform Act with @CoryBooker and @ewarren to help the family farmers that have been squeezed out by Big Ag for far too long. https://t.co/zrLwJtsupV — PolitiTweet.org

Hispanics are twice as likely to be unemployed than whites. Black and Hispanic communities are dying of COVID-19 at higher rates than anyone. This pandemic has exacerbated our nation's racial inequality. We must support the communities being hit hardest. https://t.co/6yu03vETZn — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you ⁦@jack⁩ for doing your part to tackle the digital divide. It’s one of the biggest challenges of our time. https://t.co/4R5qqNzZIW — PolitiTweet.org

The actions we take today will either lead us toward recovery or a prolonged health and economic crisis. Fauci's testimony was clear: Moving too quickly to reopen during a global pandemic will mean more sickness, more death, more outbreaks, and more shutdowns. — PolitiTweet.org

"Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a former campaign co-chair, said he's told @BernieSanders that he should remain a visible leader of the progressive movement. Sanders, who is 78, seemed to agree, according to other aides." https://t.co/alZ1QRytH8 — PolitiTweet.org

@princessmom122 And I will vote for the final bill. I don’t think democrats should compromise among ourselves before negotiating with Republicans. It weakens our position. I appreciate the civil exchange. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I do appreciate that the managers amendment now makes expressly clear that a trade association cannot use lobbyist salaries to qualify for PPP and that no PPP will go to lobbying. Thnx @sfpelosi. Our voices are being heard and having an impact. I still voted no on the rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I don’t think it’s grandstanding to insist we have Medicare or Medicaid in a bill that will pass on a party line vote. This is what Reverend Barber and the Poor People’s Campaign has been pushing for. This is a Democratic bill. We should set our priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We also should take out the provision to fund lobbyists in the bill, and we need affordable house and a living wage as part of it. This should be a Democratic vision to respond to this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I am voting no on the rule. We have a healthcare crisis yet no expansion of Medicaid or Medicare. FDR didn’t talk about employer retirement accounts. LBJ didn’t talk about voting rights in some precincts. They would have scoffed at Cobra to private companies. Need bold leadership — PolitiTweet.org

There is no choice between our collective health and the economy. We can follow the science and we can support Americans through this crisis. We need a true people’s bailout: monthly checks, halting evictions and healthcare for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While Canada raises pay for essential workers, the U.S. discusses payroll tax cuts and more blanket bailouts for corporations. Congress must pass @ewarren's and my Essential Workers Bill of Rights to give these vital workers the hazard pay they deserve. https://t.co/4CJrexqxei — PolitiTweet.org

More than two out of three low-income families in America are having trouble paying for 🏥 Health care 🏠 Housing 🍴 Food @TimRyan and I have a bold solution to help these families: $2,000/month for the duration of this crisis. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

California should not be making these devastating cuts in education. We should raise taxes instead on the affluent. Tech in my district is doing very well with the increased demand for remote work. They can pay more. This is a time that reveals our values. — PolitiTweet.org
