To small business owners in CA struggling to get PPP funds: know that I hear you and I'm pushing Mnuchin and the SBA to fix this. This is especially frustrating when large companies are securing millions in loans. This won’t stand, and I’m demanding answers and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We could not get through this pandemic without the tireless work of farm workers in California and across the nation. Heartening to see Californians come together to recognize their work like this. I'm fighting to ensure farm workers have the protections they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Otay Mesa has the most COVID-19 cases of any ICE detention facility. That's why I called for an investigation into the treatment of people held there. There's no question that low-risk and vulnerable detained persons need to be safely released to prevent the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This #MayDay and every day, I'm thinking about our essential workers who are working tirelessly to get us through this pandemic. We must do more to support them. That means hazard pay, paid leave, and free COVID-19 tests and treatment regardless of their immigration status. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Private debt collectors should not line their pockets with people’s $1,200 direct payments while families struggle to feed their babies and pay the rent. Governors are stepping up to prevent this—I'm pushing Secretary Mnuchin to prohibit this nationwide. https://t.co/5EJgJwtT5p — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Honored to be on this list as we kick off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Our AAPI community represents a rich diversity of cultures that make America stronger. We must continue fighting for equality for all AAPI people and speak out against the rise in racist attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Funeral costs are simply unattainable when millions of people have lost their incomes. Some are having to make arrangements for multiple family members at once. I'm proud to partner with @AOC today on our bill to open federal assistance for funeral costs & more during pandemics. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Millions of voters in Los Angeles County will now automatically receive vote-by-mail ballots. This is huge and I'm proud to see the LA area leading the way. It's critical that other jurisdictions move quickly to ensure safe elections in November. https://t.co/v11EOh67HW — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Andrea Circle Bear is the first woman to die in federal prison from COVID-19. She was pregnant, and her baby survived after being delivered by C-section. My heart is with her family and loved ones. During the pandemic, DOJ must release more pregnant women to home confinement. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It's May 1, meaning rent and bills are due for millions who have lost their incomes. A single $1,200 check is not enough when bills come every month. We must send people money every single month throughout the pandemic. It’s just common sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Earlier today, I spoke about racial disparities and my new bill to create a Racial and Ethnic Disparities Task Force. What I said: we need an equitable response to this crisis that ensures vaccines and treatment are made available based on need and not just access. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

What is happening at Terminal Island prison is a public health crisis. More than half of the 1,055 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19. 4 have died. DOJ must step in to protect staff and inmates, and immediately release certain low-risk offenders. https://t.co/1kLlRNXQ4j — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Reminder that Mitch McConnell is bringing the Senate back into session next week with nothing on the schedule to address the coronavirus crisis. Instead, he wants to confirm more judges. In the middle of a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @kadiagoba: NEWS: Sen. Kamala Harris Is Introducing A Bill To Address The Racial Disparity In Coronavirus Cases And Deaths https://t.co/… — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Today, I'm announcing my new bill to create a COVID-19 Racial and Ethnic Disparities Task Force. We need a serious, targeted effort to address the reality that Black and brown people are disproportionately being infected and dying from COVID-19 across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Mitch McConnell is suggesting that the federal government should not help state and local governments on the frontlines of this crisis. So let’s do the math and deconstruct this. https://t.co/i7z4RiMLKM — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Proud to work alongside @RepPressley to ensure minority-owned small businesses aren't shut out from the paycheck protection program. We're talking about businesses like barber shops, bodegas, and nail salons. Without them, our neighborhoods won't be the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

You can't take online classes without internet. You can't work from home without internet. You can't apply for a job online if you don't have internet. Congress must prioritize expanding broadband in poor and rural communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We cannot praise the essential work of our immigrant community while continuing to shut so many of them out of coronavirus relief. One thing I'm pushing for: ensuring everyone, regardless of their immigration status, has access to free testing and free treatment for COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My heart is absolutely broken for Amber Isaac's family and loved ones. At just 26 years old, Amber passed away from complications after giving birth to her son. We need to speak truth that this pandemic is highlighting deep racial disparities in our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is an outrage. More than 55,000 Americans have died from coronavirus and Senate Republicans still want to prioritize stacking our courts with ideologues. We won’t stand for this. https://t.co/04xpBJZZxe — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This is a horrific abuse of power. This officer must be held accountable. https://t.co/jcAABFzWvj — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Listen to Jessica’s plea for protective equipment. She’s a Respiratory Therapist in CA who assists with intubations and needs this equipment so her own life isn’t at risk. Our health care workers still need supplies. Trump, what’s it going to take? https://t.co/FSPhNGfMJW — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

26 million Americans have lost their income—no one should profit off their pain. Countless people are relying on credit cards just to put food on the table. We need a suspension of credit card interest, fees, and penalties—now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

It’s shameful that large public companies have received millions in federal loans while mom-and-pop businesses continue to struggle. I'll say it again: Congress must prioritize minority & underserved businesses that desperately need money to stay afloat. https://t.co/9tguPv9ASV — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We need to know whether politics has played a role in the Trump administration's COVID-19 response and distribution of critical resources. Last week, my colleagues and I sent a letter to HHS and FEMA's Inspectors General demanding broad investigations. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I’m proud that the Rainbow PUSH Coalition endorsed my VoteSafe Act over the weekend. This pandemic isn't close to being over and my bill will ensure voting is safe and accessible for all in November. https://t.co/SywuDbUSYm — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Thinking about these words today on what would have been the great Coretta Scott King's 93rd birthday: “Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.” May her fight for justice and equality live on in all of us. #CelebratingCoretta — PolitiTweet.org

An update on this: the IRS has extended the deadline to May 5 for SSI and VA beneficiaries to apply to receive $500 dependent payments. This is great news, but the IRS must offer an extension for others who don’t file taxes and need to claim a child, including SS beneficiaries. — PolitiTweet.org
