People shouldn't be shut out from COVID-19 assistance just because they don't have a bank account. That's why the bill introduced by @TimRyan and I would allow people to receive monthly payments via ✅ Check ✅ Direct Deposit ✅ Pre-paid debit card ✅ Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal — PolitiTweet.org

As millions of people struggle to afford basic needs, more than 80 percent of tax changes in the COVID-19 relief package passed last month go to millionaires who are doing just fine. Our next stimulus package must focus on the working class. https://t.co/fKsdMf0tKs — PolitiTweet.org

Does anyone truly think that a one-time $1,200 stimulus check is enough when 22M Americans lost their jobs and we are nowhere near the economy being back to normal? @TimRyan & I have a new bill to expand on the CARES Act and give $2,000/month to those who need our help the most. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only is Amazon firing warehouse workers demanding better conditions, they're retaliating against employees who support them. Amazon paid 0 federal taxes last year. They can afford to protect their workers. We need the Essential Workers Bill of Rights. https://t.co/PcL8S3PdzI — PolitiTweet.org

If you are wondering why so much of the focus of COVID-19 relief is going to tax benefits for millionaires and blanket bailouts for corporations — consider the influence of our campaign finance system. The ordinary Americans struggling to make ends meet can't afford a lobbyist. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

22 million Americans have lost their jobs, people are struggling to afford necessities & many aren’t sure how they’ll pay this month’s bills. But millionaires are getting a tax break right now? We must focus on providing relief to the neediest among us. https://t.co/ZiWLmP3I4f — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The American people need our help before this #COVID19 crisis turns into an economic catastrophe. Congress must come together on bold solutions like @TimRyan's and my bill to provide cash infusions of $2,000/month to working and middle class Americans. https://t.co/uhKxmwugO0 — PolitiTweet.org

@karavoght Thnx for raising. The important thing is that we not lose sight of the broader issue. Women have the right to stand up and share their stories, and in doing so they're risking their safety, their careers, and their livelihoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@karavoght It was a fair question. Like Sanders, I believe that any woman who feels they have been assaulted has every right in the world to tell their story and be heard. Mrs. Reade has a right to make her claims and to a public hearing with respect & the public will make their conclusions — PolitiTweet.org

Over 200 nurses have been infected with #COVID19. 29 have died. Everyday, they put their lives on the line to save others and we're failing them. I stand with @NationalNurses & @RoseAnnDeMoro. Let's protect them and provide them with the PPE they need. https://t.co/xXI1PbIA18 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our economy won't immediately bounce back after COVID-19 because nearly 22 million Americans already lost their jobs and have no money to spend. Consumer spending is 70 percent of all U.S. economic activity. We must provide monthly cash infusions to those who need it the most. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Yemen is home to the world's worst humanitarian crisis. #COVID19 will only make the situation worse. This is a disaster partially of our doing. Now, we must ensure that Yemen has the aid it needs or the results will be catastrophic. https://t.co/cpI0XW5zON — PolitiTweet.org

PPP funds should have buckets for smaller loan sizes. There's no money left for actual small business when 200+ size firms are being prioritized by banks. $100B for loans smaller than $100k wld ensure that Main Street America gets the relief. That would fund a million businesses! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

After what we saw in Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida, it should be clear that in-person elections are putting Americans at risk. Nobody should have to put their lives on the line to vote. In 2020, we have the technology to do national vote-by-mail. Let's get it done. https://t.co/2YXttxPSU7 — PolitiTweet.org

Holding campaign rallies in the middle of a pandemic is dangerous, plain and simple. I hope the GOP holds their candidate accountable for public safety. — PolitiTweet.org

As job losses continue due to #COVID19, as many as 7.3 million more people could lose their health insurance. The U.S. is the only industrialized nation that ties healthcare to employment, when it should be guaranteed to everyone. Especially now, we need Medicare for All. https://t.co/bquPZlM0iW — PolitiTweet.org

Our frontline workers are risking their health and potentially even their lives to provide essential services. It's outrageous that many of them don't even earn a living wage. We must provide hazard pay to these Americans for their sacrifice. https://t.co/F8G69cNCoT — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has passed 3 stimulus packages but what are we doing for the half million Americans who are homeless on any given night? Our COVID-19 response should include PPE for shelters & temporary housing so that nobody has to sleep outside during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

31% of renters didn’t make their rent this month. As this crisis continues, that number is only going to keep rising. We need to cancel rent during this crisis for working families. https://t.co/o8AFZe9E6c — PolitiTweet.org

With millions of Americans stuck at home, it's clear that the internet has become more important than ever before for work, school, and everyday life — deepening the digital divide. Let's create good-paying jobs by expanding high-speed broadband to every community. https://t.co/qdAHLN50qK — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There were millions of households without enough food even before #COVID19. Now almost 17 million Americans have lost their jobs. We must immediately expand SNAP, WIC, the Emergency Food Program, and Meals on Wheels so that nobody in America goes hungry. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Nearly 60 million Americans are keeping this nation running. They're paid pittances and don't have the PPE needed to protect themselves or their families. @ewarren's and my Essential Workers Bill of Rights will protect frontline workers and give them the respect they deserve. https://t.co/UyqnQZuFwx — PolitiTweet.org
