Racism has been the ghost in the room, not just in one system but in all systems. Until we deal with inequality in health care, education, housing, lending, policing, and all things, we will never get where we need to be.

Efforts to stop evictions are critical. @HouseDemocrats have been fighting for this for months. Americans are still on the hook for rent and mortgage payments. We need to pass immediate financial assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

America was built by tireless #labor. American workers are the backbone of our country. We’ll keep fighting for a higher minimum wage and rights for all workers. Happy #LaborDay. https://t.co/byFpBkT1XJ — PolitiTweet.org

I join the citizens of Apopka and the constituents of Congressional District 10 in celebrating the life of Commissioner Billie Dean. We are grateful for a life well lived. https://t.co/7bnvDQejEN — PolitiTweet.org

When the president calls for certain policies – like rental assistance, criminal justice reform, relief checks for Americans – recall that @HouseDemocrats passed all of these things months ago, and they’re being blocked by Republicans in the Senate, with the president’s backing. — PolitiTweet.org

My colleague @RepRubenGallego says that Stars and Stripes “cuts through political and military brass BS talking points.” It’s a voice of truth that our service members rely on. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Stars and Stripes is a voice for our service members. It informs them, it advocates for them. Shutting it down is an attack on them. https://t.co/buEkwEhhhi — PolitiTweet.org

When the U.S. flag was raised at Belleau Wood, a French General, crying, assured family members of the American dead that “the men who died here are safe; they will be guarded by us religiously.” President Trump called them “suckers” for getting killed. https://t.co/2xkw9BCyn2 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to move away from these archaic rules and ideologies. When we know better, we should do better. By basing our medicine on science, we can maximize our donor pool while keeping our blood supply safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Blood is never at higher demand than in an emergency. Orlando knows the pain of mass shootings, and discriminatory sexual orientation guidelines denied victims’ friends and families the opportunity to donate blood afterward. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

This policy is based on fear, sigma, and prejudice, not science. Expanding the donor pool by hundreds of thousands of healthy Americans would save lives every day in emergency rooms and hospitals around the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Every day, across the United States, donated blood marks the difference between life and death. There is no substitute. Yet our country turns away thousands of healthy and willing blood donors based solely on their gender identity and sexual orientation. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

I just introduced legislation with @RepMikeQuigley to end discrimination against potential blood donors based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. — PolitiTweet.org

He continues: our new legislation "will trigger immediate action to prevent evictions in any future local, state, or national emergencies; preventing millions of homes lost, excessive homelessness following a crisis, and significant economic devastation to the housing market.” — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

.@NHLP Director @ShamusRoller explains that "with as many as 30 million tenants facing eviction before the end of 2020, it has become even more clear that the U.S. has not been leveraging the power of the federal government to prevent exorbitant evictions." — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Short term foreclosure and eviction moratoriums are not the answer. Homeowners and renters need security and stability. — PolitiTweet.org

Since we passed #TheHeroesAct months ago (and the Senate and White House have done nothing), over four million more Americans have contracted #covid19. It didn’t have to be this bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

America’s building blocks—our elections, the postal service, the justice system, the census—must remain free, fair, and untainted by corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

You know you are a bad ass Speaker of the House when desperate people go out of their way to attack you on getting your hair done. https://t.co/tiu37eVLrY — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

To keep families in their homes, we need more than a freeze - we need financial assistance. @HouseDemocrats have already passed $100 billion for emergency rental assistance for American families. The coming evictions are NOT inevitable. The Senate needs to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

An eviction is not a natural disaster. We have the power to ensure that a natural disaster does not mean eviction for American families. — PolitiTweet.org
