The President has declared a Major Disaster and additional aid is moving to the island. Puerto Ricans who live in 58 declared municipalities can apply for individual federal assistance at https://t.co/WrWbw7rwUO, by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or by using the FEMA App. — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE on Puerto Rico – thousands of staff from FEMA, Puerto Rico National Guard, American Red Cross, and others are on the ground, including Search and Rescue. All hospitals are impacted but operational. Water and power availability is improving but still unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

For years, families have told me about their struggle to afford insulin, even having to ration it. That's why I fought for legislation to cap insulin at $35 per month. Senate Republicans blocked this for non-senior families but I’m not giving up. — PolitiTweet.org

Before the Affordable Care Act’s Patient Bill of Rights took effect 12 years ago today, insurance companies could discriminate against you and even deny you care if you had a preexisting condition. Obamacare is still under attack but we refuse to go back. — PolitiTweet.org

Every black girl should grow up knowing that she can make it in America, and will be paid what she has earned. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

This pay inequity destroys so much potential, and it's time we address it once and for all. That’s why I cosponsored the Paycheck Fairness Act and I’ll keep fighting for equality for all of our daughters. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Over 40 years of full-time work, a Black woman stands to lose almost $1 million because she’s not paid the same as her peers. That hurts all of us. It undermines the promise of America: that if you work hard and play by the rules you should be able to live the American Dream. — PolitiTweet.org
