We are still receiving reports that Florida’s unemployment system is riddled with errors and bugs. The governor has said this is a priority, but information is not forthcoming. People need help now. — PolitiTweet.org

If your mortgage payments were deferred during this pandemic, it would be wrong for all of those payments to come due when the emergency ends. Instead, these payments should be deferred until the end of the loan. I’ve cosponsored @RepBobbyRush's legislation to require this. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish that Senate Republicans would show the same care for local fire and police officers that they do for their donors. — PolitiTweet.org

America’s founders thought that the Postal Service was so important that they put it in the Constitution. It’s our duty to uphold this vital American project for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

While there are many payment deferral options available to Americans who have been impacted by covid-19, it’s important to work with your bank or credit union to make sure that your credit score isn’t being impacted. You can get more information here: https://t.co/3EpDC2fe6v — PolitiTweet.org

@ItsJasDarling Hi @ItsJasDarling, please feel free to call my office at 321-388-9808 and one of my caseworkers may be able to help you. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve also joined @RepLouCorrea and @repdinatitus on new legislation to reduce their health care costs for TSA workers, who are at high risk of getting sick while keeping our airports safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

TSA workers have been on the front lines, risking exposure to keep the traveling public safe. I’ve filed new legislation to ensure that these workers get a presumption of workplace causation for workers’ comp. If they get sick, we need to give them the help they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

This time has been difficult for many people’s mental health. The next emergency relief passed by Congress should include resources for suicide prevention and mental health. If you are struggling, help is available: 1-800-273-8255 — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

We cannot safely reopen without testing and contact tracing to prevent future infections. I cosponsored @RepBobbyRush’s TRACE Act to fund the contact tracing we need to get back to normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The unemployment insurance expansion that we passed shouldn’t also be taxed. I’ve cosponsored @NydiaVelazquez’s legislation to exclude this support from gross income for purposes of taxes, student aid, and other programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Every American should have access to affordable health care, especially now. I’ve joined @RepShalala and @RepStephMurphy to support new legislation to expand subsidies for younger and middle-aged individuals. This would make health care affordable for 3.5 million more people. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Is it really so controversial to say that you should be able to vote by mail during a pandemic? — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The next legislative relief package MUST include support for health care workers. It’s simple: if we’re asking them to risk their lives to save others, we need to give them total support when it comes to protective gear and help if they get sick. — PolitiTweet.org

Never let anyone pretend that this death toll was inevitable. The president and his administration were warned, and they did nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

When we impeached the president, we warned that if acquitted, he would abuse his power again. Now he’s doing it, with American lives on the line. Emergency relief for covid-19 CANNOT be used as a political tool. — PolitiTweet.org
