@NFC_Kari @AnnaForFlorida It should. According to the @FLDEO, people eligible for unemployment under the CARES Act should not need to reapply, but it's unclear when the transition to an "approved" status would happen. Please feel free to reach out to my office. https://t.co/C9MP2Rob4V — PolitiTweet.org

Practicing social distancing one mile at at time on my bike. Continue to listen to health experts and scientists and stay safe. America needs you. https://t.co/cW7SM9hTKk — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply concerned about the likelihood of natural disasters during the #COVID pandemic. Together with my @HouseDemocrats colleagues in Florida, we wrote to the state asking for an update on what is being done to prepare. https://t.co/wdg8PhKICs — PolitiTweet.org

While the immediate situation must be our top concern, this is not merely a concern for today. As climate change continues to escalate and the risk of future disasters and future pandemics becomes more likely, this is a problem that deserves urgent and ongoing attention. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Since time is of the essence, it is vital that our federal, state, and local partners work to develop policies, plans, and best practices for how state, local, and federal partners can keep people safe during a pandemic-disaster event. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Families need to be able to make plans. State and local governments need federal support to prepare for safe evacuations. Only by working together and looking ahead can we save lives when these inevitable disasters happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

With hurricane season in the South and wildfire season in western states less than six weeks away, I am deeply concerned about the lack of preparation and information-sharing. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Each year, millions of Americans are forced to flee from natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and fires. We crowd together in shelters, pack hotels, and struggle to find food and other essentials. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Don’t be fooled: the plan to privatize the @USPS is nothing less than a plan to enrich a small number of private sector entities at the public’s expense. Don’t fall for the spin. Post Offices are fundamentally American. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

How many of you have sent or received a package using the U.S. Postal Service in the last month? (Remember that nearly half of Amazon’s packages are sent by USPS) I for one thank our postal workers for everything they do. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

U.S. Post Offices provide an affordable, reliable service that is available to every American. Democracy relies on every citizen’s ability to correspond and send information and items alike. @USPS even helps FedEx and UPS with “less profitable” deliveries. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

When George Washington and James Madison created the U.S. Postal Service, they created a system designed to protect democracy by sharing news with the public, and protecting our private correspondence from intrusion. The result transformed America. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenateDemocrats had to fight with the GOP this month just to get funding for testing and hospitals. Now we’re facing opposition from the GOP to plans to get more support to struggling American families. — PolitiTweet.org

@YourRacingBelle @FLDEO I'm sorry to hear that Katie. While I strongly encourage you to reach back out to your Member of Congress, please feel free to call my staff at 321-388-9808 — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Yesterday we passed $370 billion in additional support for small businesses. Because of the persistence of @SenateDemocrats and @HouseDemocrats, we also won $100 billion for hospitals, coronavirus testing, and research. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

We have gotten so many similar messages. My staff is here to help. Please reach out. https://t.co/SNa8RvsMBb — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The Coronavirus Food Assistance program is designed to support struggling farmers. But farmers who grow only one or two types of commodity (including many of Florida’s ranchers and fruit growers) only qualify for restricted support. The president should revise this program. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

We know what measures it will take to get through this pandemic, because nearly every other country is doing them: social distancing, support for households and businesses, contact tracing, and testing, testing, testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

I joined a bipartisan letter with my colleagues from Florida to write in support of acute care hospitals, children’s hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, and certain cancer hospitals, who need greater flexibility to pay back certain loans during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As of a month ago, the @WashingtonPost had tracked 18,000 lies by this president. It is a shame to say it, but you should not rely on this president’s words during this emergency. Truthful information is a matter of life and death. Listen to the doctors. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

I joined @RepJerryNadler and @HouseJudiciary to call on @ATFHQ to ensure that criminals are not exploiting this emergency to obtain untraceable “ghost guns.” Every life counts, and we must do all in our power to stop needless deaths from COVID and gun violence alike. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

First it was untested drugs. Now it's consumption of home cleaning products. Don’t do it! Tomorrow it will be something else. The bottom line: the president is looking for a "miracle cure" because he's unable or unwilling to do the hard work to get a hold of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

A three-day weekend for the unemployment system while hundreds of thousands of people are still waiting for help is totally unacceptable. https://t.co/o5S1WjGI3m — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

With @RepDMP and others we have now sent our fifth letter to the DEO urging immediate action to fix Florida’s broken unemployment system. The problems were obvious before. That’s why we passed $60 million to fix it. It hasn’t been done and now people are suffering. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The @USDA’s assistance program for farmers is a start, but woefully inadequate. It’s too late for many Florida farmers to benefit, and direct payments don’t come close to covering losses. This support should be expanded. — PolitiTweet.org
