Orange County may be past the COVID-19 peak, and hope is on the horizon. HOWEVER, it is vital that we continue to maintain distancing and take health precautions, or else cases could re-surge. We’re doing well—let’s keep it up and get to the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, one side effect of the COVID pandemic is that millions of children around the world are likely to miss their regular vaccines. It's vital that we support the health systems which keep these children safe. They should have the chance to grow up healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

The disease Polio has killed millions. Last year there were only a few hundred cases. #VaccinesWork. Vaccines for over 20 diseases have saved millions of lives. As we live through this pandemic, we must keep supporting immunization programs worldwide. #WorldImmunizationWeek — PolitiTweet.org

The data in Florida has shown that when we relax distancing, cases increase. Please continue to stay safe and maintain physical distance between people. Wear a mask when you go out around others. Wash your hands. — PolitiTweet.org

America’s postal workers take pride in their service to our country. “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night” stops deliveries. @USPS is consistently the most popular federal agency in America. Congress should show them the same dedication that they show to us. — PolitiTweet.org

I’d like Senator McConnell to explain directly to the tens of millions of struggling and out of work Americans why he thinks they don’t deserve additional help. https://t.co/qZCSiosyae — PolitiTweet.org

10,000 IRS workers are returning to work to make sure that Americans get the relief they need. They’re putting their lives at greater risk for us. They deserve the highest standards of protection, including PPE and safe workplaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Federal employees are working to keep people safe, but they often themselves have unsafe workplaces. This needs to be addressed in the CARES 2 package. I joined @RepBonnie, @repmarkpocan & @RepCarbajal in support of these workers. — PolitiTweet.org

While many federal student loan borrowers have had their interest rates set to zero and have no required payments until September, this relief has not applied to everyone. If you are still facing payments during the crisis, please reach out directly to your loan provider. — PolitiTweet.org

As we approach one million confirmed cases (and many more unconfirmed) it's essential that we re-prioritize families, workers, and small businesses. Our response can’t be about numbers in a computer. The goal must be to help real Americans get through this. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Public health experts have been warning us that it would be a major mistake to reopen too early. In past pandemics, ending social distancing has led to a second surge of cases. All our hard work over the last months can’t be for nothing. https://t.co/wew082tW7O — PolitiTweet.org

Today the expanded #PPPLoans applications will continue with the new funding we passed last week. I expect that this too will be only one more step on the path as we try to save as many community businesses as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

I have been disappointed to see big businesses take advantage of the #PPPLoans over smaller business with a greater need. Last week we built in new rules to help real small businesses get the loans they need, but more will likely need to be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Important: You may need to send additional information to the IRS to claim the $500-per-child benefit for your emergency relief check. Enter your info if you: - receive VA or SSI benefits - have children under 17 - did not file a tax return in 2018 or 2019 https://t.co/Wm5Lf0oz9E — PolitiTweet.org

With millions of Americans voting by mail, it’s an attack on our republic to try to dismantle the U.S. Postal Service. — PolitiTweet.org

After the founding of our country, French observer Alexis de Tocqueville said that @USPS was "the great link between minds” that enabled American democracy. German philosopher Francis Lieber called it an “element of civilization.” It still is. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress passed $6 billion for higher education institutions Over a month later, less than one tenth of one percent has been distributed. Students in Central Florida are struggling. @RepSwalwell and I wrote to @BetsyDeVosED seeking answers. — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @sethmoulton and @RepBrianFitz to call for support for our food banks, shelters, domestic violence services, houses of worship, early care and education centers, and more -- by increasing unemployment insurance reimbursement, incentives to donate, and available loans. — PolitiTweet.org

Florida’s unemployment system is still broken & slow. While I don't have direct influence over this state program, we’re doing everything possible to help them fix it. If you live in the 10th District, please contact my office if you are having trouble getting information. — PolitiTweet.org

America’s charities need support right now, just like our small businesses. They’re vital in the best of times, and even more so now. The next emergency relief package should include that support. — PolitiTweet.org

When you support the Postal Service, you support America’s service members and veterans. Over 100,000 vets work there, receiving medical leave and benefits. Packages to service members overseas are discounted. We need to protect USPS. https://t.co/r4pJObO5SX — PolitiTweet.org

@JStarsFilms @FLDEO I know, it's bad. We already passed $60 million in federal money to fix the unemployment system. I'm in close touch with the state on this issue. If you or someone you know needs help, please have them call my office. — PolitiTweet.org
