Nurses and doctors are dying because of the admiration’s failure to use the Defense Production Act to make protective gear. I promise you: they’re not selling off the masks that could save their lives. https://t.co/Ns9n9ncHiI — PolitiTweet.org

Doctors have warned that Black Americans may be less likely to get COVID-19 tests. As we come together as one America to beat this virus, it’s important that we work even harder to break down the artificial barriers of race that divide us. https://t.co/k32TgrN0QF — PolitiTweet.org

This is a difficult time to makes ends meet for many Americans. You can find information here about whether your bank is deferring mortgage payments—most of them are: https://t.co/xnteFlZ8y0 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember, if you feel sick, before you go to any medical office or facility, call ahead for proper instructions to prevent the spread of the virus. For more info on testing, you can contact the Florida Health Department COVID-19 Hotline, which is open 24/7, at 1 (866) 779-6121. — PolitiTweet.org

Price gouging in an emergency is unacceptable. While some people get rich, nurses and doctors are getting sick. The administration needs to step in immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

I want everyone to know that although things are difficult, there is light at the end of the tunnel. One day, this pandemic will end. The reason we must take hard measures now is to get there. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Florida should follow Orange County’s lead and issue a statewide stay at home order. With @RepTedDeutch and other colleagues, we have been calling for this for days. Time is running out. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @StephMillerShow for hosting me this morning for a great conversation about the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As I told Stephanie, "in the absence of good leadership, bad things happen because good things don't happen quick enough." https://t.co/knpYfYmFmH — PolitiTweet.org

Remember that “social distancing” really means “physical distancing.” This can be a lonely time as we do what we must to stop the spread of COVID-19. We can all do our best to connect with one another—while staying six feet apart. https://t.co/GWfDzJAgtH — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

First responders don’t have the ability to shelter at home. It’s our responsibility to keep them safe, by following distancing rules and giving them the PPE they need. https://t.co/DTXtoK3yH2 — PolitiTweet.org

We have an pay gap that costs women $10,194 each year. We do better in Florida, but women of color are even worse off. Here in Congress, @HouseDemocrats passed the #PaycheckFairnessAct to help close this gap. It's long past time for the Senate to allow a vote on it. #EqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Q: How long will it take? A: This depends on the administration and federal agencies. If you have a direct deposit set up with the IRS, the funds may be dispersed quickly. Otherwise, it may be from three to six weeks. We will share more information as we get it. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Q: What it the process? Do I have to apply? A: Checks will be send automatically to every American who filed a 2018 tax return. If you didn’t, you may need to take additional action, which I will share once this information becomes available. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Q: Who is eligible? A: EVERYONE with an annual income of less than $75,000/year (including people on Social Security, or with an income of $0) will receive a check of $1,200, plus $500 per child. People making $75k-$99k will receive a smaller amount. — PolitiTweet.org

Young people: please take social distancing seriously. Do not be fooled by some of the early reports—you are at risk from this virus. You don’t want to be the person who spreads it to someone else. https://t.co/5Xd127H56W — PolitiTweet.org

@RRalstonAgile Good question: the UI expansion passed by Congress during this crisis *includes* unemployment for the self-employed, gig workers, independent contractors, and workers with irregular work history. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Last week we saw the highest number of unemployment claims in one week since the beginning of when the numbers were tracked. Our emergency COVID-19 relief includes a massive increase in unemployment insurance to keep families on their feet during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

.@housedemocrats passed $2.2 trillion in emergency assistance to American families and businesses. This will not be the end of our work—we must be able to pull together and help one another in times of crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

FAQs regarding Social Security: - you’re eligible for up to $1,200 relief check if you're on Social Security - relief checks are based on taxes. If you're a SSI recipient who doesn't file taxes, additional steps may be necessary - these checks don't count as "income" — PolitiTweet.org

You may be worried about where to do your shopping. @WFTV has an updated list here. Please remember to avoid items marked WIC, which are needed by low-income parents with young children. https://t.co/AWEorpfHVx — PolitiTweet.org
