On the 50th anniversary of the EPA being created, the Trump administration is once again fighting to destroy clean air and water protections. We must reverse the damage they've done while strengthening the EPA and protecting frontline communities. https://t.co/zWdaoeeQDg — PolitiTweet.org

This administration is ending the same as it started: with blatant corruption. We must pass the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act that I introduced with @SenWarren to ensure this level of corruption and assault on our democracy never happens again. https://t.co/WPvZ8vy4iQ — PolitiTweet.org

It has now been TWO months since the House passed a relief package that would distribute stimulus checks, reinstate the $600/week of expanded unemployment, send grants to businesses, and renew eviction moratoriums. The Senate should vote on it TODAY. No more delays. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's cruel immigration policies were designed to inflict maximum harm. We need to reverse them but we must also take immigrants off the table as a political football once and for all. It's long overdue that we create a fair, humane immigration system. https://t.co/htZYSWBYNw — PolitiTweet.org

People across America turned out in record numbers last month to demand change. Now, we must quickly deliver on a bold agenda that matches the scale of the many crises we face while making a real impact in their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Fed Chair Powell testified that "the outlook for the economy is extraordinarily uncertain." Passing my Paycheck Recovery Act will not only deliver relief but certainty too. It's time to send grants to businesses to cover payroll, rehire workers, and help with operating expenses. — PolitiTweet.org

DeVos has been committing an all-out assault on our public schools for 4 years. It's critical that we get her out, but we must go further. We need a Department of Education that prioritizes the wellbeing of all public schools, students, and educators. https://t.co/kTibs2cQzD — PolitiTweet.org

The xenophobic case for suddenly changing the Census so it no longer counts everyone is SO flawed that even far-right judges are questioning it. We must ensure every person is counted. https://t.co/a3eeaTBtZn — PolitiTweet.org

By refusing to pass the House's COVID aid package, Senate Republicans have left people without the relief necessary to pay rent today. We need to act now in order to stop people from losing their housing. We must renew eviction moratoriums and cancel rent and mortgage payments. — PolitiTweet.org

We are in the midst of a mass evictions crisis that is about to get worse if Congress fails to act. We must immediately extend eviction moratoriums and cancel rent and mortgage payments during the pandemic. https://t.co/0B2GlVzBjj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Countries around the world have stopped mass unemployment by sending grants to businesses to cover paychecks and rehire those who have been laid off. We should too. We must pass my Paycheck Recovery Act, ensuring workers, families, and businesses can withstand this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Suddenly excluding people from the Census based on their status is a racist, xenophobic attack on immigrants. It's also a dangerous attack on the communities they contribute to each day, which COVID-19 has only emphasized. The Census must count everyone. https://t.co/3GwbZ2I942 — PolitiTweet.org

The House passed a robust relief package more than 8 weeks ago. What have Senate Republicans done since? Nothing. This can't wait another day. The Senate must immediately pass an aid package and get help to those who need it. https://t.co/sZErm4BnyO — PolitiTweet.org

Good progress, thanks to worker movement. But for context, this gives each frontline worker risking their lives just $300 extra. Since pandemic began, Jeff Bezos personally made $70 billion. Giving each worker an extra $1,000 would cost a mere $2 billion. https://t.co/ZzHDMG5dlk — PolitiTweet.org

Stock market growth now is driven largely by stock buy-backs, which keep money circulating among the already-wealthy. That’s what GOP $2 trillion tax scam did. It’s not trickle-down economics, it’s gush-up economics: take from working people & give to wealthiest. — PolitiTweet.org

As people support local shops on #SmallBusinessSaturday, the government should too! We can do that by passing my Paycheck Recovery Act, which sends grants directly to businesses to cover payroll, rehire workers, help with their operating expenses, and withstand this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Perceived link b/w economy & market is pure nostalgia for time when employment & market had some connection & wealth inequality was better. 1962: 2 most highly valued companies employed nearly 1.2 mm workers. 2019: 2 most highly valued(Microsoft and Apple) employed 280,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Repeat after me: the stock market is NOT the economy. FACTS: The wealthiest 10% of US households own 84% of value of stocks. The top 1% controls 40%. The wellbeing of vast majority of Americans has nothing to do with stocks. — PolitiTweet.org

This exciting plan includes the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights that I introduced with Sen. Harris, and my Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force agreement to create at least 600,000 jobs in long-term supports and services. Good for seniors, families, and workers! https://t.co/YIBkDouP5x — PolitiTweet.org
