We have passed hundreds of millions of dollars for expanded unemployment insurance. This money is not getting to my constituents because Florida’s unemployment system was never designed to function properly. — PolitiTweet.org

The IRS website to check your information for the relief assistance has been plagued with errors. This is a disservice to struggling people during this crisis. For now, we recommend you try to check the site during “off-hours." Contact my office if you have ongoing difficulty. — PolitiTweet.org

@KHB_LookingNow @NormaJTorres That is included in our request, thank you for mentioning it. Also included is expenses related to treatment of COVID-19, and financial support for potential long-term effects of severe illness. — PolitiTweet.org

Testing is the only way to get COVID-19 under control. @VP and @realDonaldTrump promised testing. Now, months into the crisis, the administration has “no national testing strategy.” — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

I joined @NormaJTorres to call on congressional leadership to include greater protections for heath care workers in the next relief bill. They’re risking their own lives to save ours. They need PPE, workplace protections, hazard pay, and other vital assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

At the beginning of this week, @GovRonDeSantis said that Florida’s unemployment system was “up to speed.” 4% of Floridians who have filed for unemployment have been paid. People are going hungry & facing eviction. We already passed $60 million to fix this broken system. Use it! — PolitiTweet.org

Hackers have repeatedly hijacked the computer systems of communities around the country. In the midst of this crisis, such attacks could be devastating. We wrote to congressional leadership asking for vital cybersecurity funding to safeguard our civic and emergency systems. — PolitiTweet.org

We need an immediate investigation into what resources are available, which are missing, and how to get them to the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

From our @HomelandDems letter: “The Administration has bungled the rollout of test kits…failed to provide states with essential medical equipment…and offered conflicting guidance on travel restrictions, with serious consequences for the life and health of Americans." — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Significant numbers of employees at the Department of Homeland Security have tested positive for COVID-19 or been placed in quarantine. The administration needs to vastly expand access to PPE so we can keep these public safety personnel safe on the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Any #SmallBizRelief package must provide funding for the SBA's disaster loan program. @senatemajldr’s bill does not. @housedemocrats are fighting for a comprehensive fix to small business relief programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Transportation workers are vital workers, and they are put directly at risk every time they go to work. I joined @RepMalinowski & @RepFitzpatrick to ask FTA to provide additional protective equipment to these workers and ensure regular disinfections of vehicles and facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

With @RepShalala, I have called for immediate support for this unwavering public good. — PolitiTweet.org

The @USPS is not a business, it’s a public service based in the U.S. Constitution. Every American is better off because the postal service has always provided us with the ability to connect with each other. — PolitiTweet.org

Hurricane season is six weeks away. Evacuations mean thousands of people crowded together. Florida’s governor needs to immediately revise and share their emergency and evacuation procedures so we are prepared in the event a hurricane hits during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Last week the administration deported 61 migrants back to Haiti, a country still struggling to rebuild its medical and social infrastructure. This type of punitive action during a pandemic puts countless people at risk and should be immediately suspended. — PolitiTweet.org

@Woman_on_Pause I understand how you feel. That's why local, state, and federal government needs to get ahead of this, so people won't have to scramble to figure this out at the last minute if the worst should happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

We need to look past our immediate situation and show foresight. Hurricane season is coming soon, and the combination of a hurricane and a pandemic could be devastating for Florida and other states. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t abandon our children’s education during the pandemic. I joined @RepMarciaFudge to support funding for distance learning, which has been especially challenging for untrained teachers and for children in households without the necessary equipment or internet connections. — PolitiTweet.org
