Last week, nearly a million people filed for unemployment for the first time. This crisis hasn't ended and the relief to withstand it shouldn't end either. 🔴Renew the $600/week 🔴Send monthly stimulus checks 🔴Get relief to businesses to rehire workers https://t.co/QbZnoik9jW — PolitiTweet.org

As Trump calls COVID-19 “kung flu” and the “Chinese virus," AAPI business owners and workers in Seattle’s International district and communities across America have been harassed and attacked—all while so many heroically serve on the frontlines of the crisis. I'll be voting yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

I'm so proud that Washington is a state that already has a law protecting pregnant workers. But pregnant workers in every state and workplace deserve those same rights! That's why I'm voting to pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act today. Hope you'll join me in supporting it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

I've heard from attorneys who represent at least 17 immigrant women who were forced to have unnecessary procedures—including hysterectomies—performed. If this was happening to them, what about women without lawyers? It's possible this is much larger. I won't stop investigating. https://t.co/Rs2nH3RyTw — PolitiTweet.org

Each day Bill Barr remains in his position, he does an injustice to justice in this country. He continues to dangerously use the DOJ as a political weapon because he sees himself not as the Attorney General for the American people but as the personal henchman for Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Forced sterilization, particularly of women of color, has a long and sordid history in America. To have it occurring in 2020 is beyond unacceptable. I've called for an immediate and full investigation into this. Those responsible must be held accountable. https://t.co/Gw4VaLBz5A — PolitiTweet.org

We in Washington know that wildfires have been increasingly damaging each year. This isn't random. This is the reality of climate change. And the climate catastrophes will get worse unless we take bold climate action. We must pass the Green New Deal. https://t.co/dvmOTcyol6 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This is not the time for half steps or policies that only help some people. We need real relief to keep people in their homes. Let's cancel rent and mortgage payments, send out recurring stimulus checks, and renew the $600/week of unemployment assistance. https://t.co/w1yf9RUUDy — PolitiTweet.org

DeJoy's coordinated sabotage of the Postal Service achieved his desired result: slowing down mail delivery. This came at the expense of our health care, economic stability, and democracy. We must fully fund the USPS. We must reverse DeJoy's changes. And we must demand he resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Washington state has now surpassed 2,000 deaths from COVID-19 as we've lost nearly 200,000 lives across America. It's a stark reminder that this crisis is far from over. Please continue to follow public health precautions and wear a mask when you leave your home. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Every other industrialized country realized long ago that you should not tether health care to employment. Yet, in the US, 27 million people have lost their insurance because they lost their job during COVID-19. It's time we catch up and guarantee health care as a human right. https://t.co/AGMcM0hoFl — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue investigating. ICE must immediately ensure that any person who may have been subjected to forced medical procedures immediately be assured the ability to remain in the U.S. so that we can follow all the facts and get to the bottom of these horrific allegations. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

These stories contain many consistencies and raise serious questions about not only this particular doctor but about the entire detention system—largely for-profit—that is complicit in the abuses and has long neglected the health, wellbeing, and human rights of immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Another woman, already deported, apparently went in to see the doctor for a simple condition related to diabetes and ended up having gynecological surgery. Two additional women apparently were shackled to the bed, reported to have had surgical procedures including a hysterectomy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

One woman, who was nearly deported, consulted the doctor simply about her menstrual cycle. She was put under for what she was told would be a simple procedure, only to wake up and find that the doctor had removed part of her reproductive organs without her knowledge or consent. — PolitiTweet.org
