The additional $600/week in federal pandemic benefits applies only to weeks of unemployment beginning March 29, 2020 and ends with the week ending July 25, 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Update on Unemployment: Florida is now set up to give out the extended benefits passed by Congress. When your benefits have been exhausted, you need to RE-APPLY and you will be eligible for 13 additional weeks at Florida’s state rate of $275. — PolitiTweet.org

Inexcusably, instead of a comprehensive testing plan, the administration has abandoned all leadership and is asking states to do the work without real support. This is going to leave millions of people behind. https://t.co/xKooRCiEKm — PolitiTweet.org

America has some of the best scientists and doctors in the world. The White House stopped them from doing their jobs to keep us safe. https://t.co/DHm3G89aye — PolitiTweet.org

Today would be a good day for the president to announce a comprehensive national testing plan. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve joined @RepJimmyPanetta to ask for important protections for farmworkers during this COVID crisis. Farmworkers are essential, but also uniquely vulnerable to the pandemic. They should have free testing, health training, and PPE. — PolitiTweet.org

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain... — PolitiTweet.org

I remember today President Lincoln's famous words. "...in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead—who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract... — PolitiTweet.org

Today on #MemorialDay, we remember the thousands of Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. We can never give them the limitless thanks that they have earned by their bravery. But we can honor them, and what they died for. https://t.co/cKBrc4Y9He — PolitiTweet.org

This policy also likely violates federal court orders. I’ve joined my colleagues on a letter demanding immediate answers on this inhumane policy. We’re going to get to the bottom of this and keep children safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Under the cover of the pandemic, the Trump Administration is renewing policies to separate families from their children at the border, by offering them a “choice” to remain in detention or give up their children. This Sophie’s Choice is un-American and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Organizations called “Community Health Centers” care for medically-vulnerable Americans across the country, but have struggled to make ends meet during this pandemic. I wrote with @RepEliotEngel to @SecAzar asking for immediate support for these centers. — PolitiTweet.org

The emergency payments were supposed to be automatic for Americans on veterans benefits or Social Security & SSI, but the system has been plagued with errors. I joined @davidcicilline on a letter to urge swift correction to these problems. — PolitiTweet.org

In a crisis, the American people have to be able to trust the information coming from their leaders. Covering up data and trying to fudge the numbers is unacceptable. Saving lives has to be the first priority. — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government’s Inspectors General were created after Watergate. Their purpose is to prevent corruption. The president is firing and undermining them because they keep catching his administration engaged in corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The president deployed the National Guard to help keep people safe from COVID. Then, he ended their deployment ONE DAY before they would qualify for federal benefits. This is unfair to our Guard members and makes us less safe. The deployment should be extended. — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP wants to wait on additional support for the American people. But families still need groceries. Rent and car payments are still due. People are still losing their jobs. They can’t wait, and so neither can we. — PolitiTweet.org
