Finally, this bill develops a clearinghouse and web portal of information on heart health research. I'm urging members of the Committee on Energy and Commerce to PASS this bipartisan legislation that has the support of more than a dozen medical groups. https://t.co/RhvKOs66L7 — PolitiTweet.org

It also directs the HHS Secretary to fund grants through the National Institutes of Health to conduct research on cardiovascular disease and other heart ailments among communities disproportionately affected by heart disease, such as South Asian populations living in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

My legislation addresses this by directing the HHS Secretary to create grants at the CDC to provide funding for community groups involved in South Asian heart health promotion and to develop culturally appropriate materials to promote heart health in the South Asian community. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

South Asian Americans also have a much greater chance of having a heart attack before age 50 and have emerged as the ethnic group with the highest prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, which is a leading cause of heart disease. Unfortunately, a similar trend is happening globally. https://t.co/wYsiFHWpkz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

As the first South Asian American woman ever elected to the House of Representatives, I know how urgent this is for families across the country. South Asians in the United States continue to experience a dramatic rise in heart disease. https://t.co/HNfGhe92oZ — PolitiTweet.org

BIG NEWS: A House committee is voting on my South Asian Heart Health Awareness & Research Act TODAY! This bipartisan legislation will raise awareness about the alarming rate of heart disease in South Asian communities while investing in strategies to reverse this deadly trend. — PolitiTweet.org

Some happy news! In honor of Tahlequah's new calf, let's renew our commitment to keeping our waters clean, healthy, and safe. We must protect the unique habitats, outdoor spaces, environment, and natural beauty that make our region of the world so special. https://t.co/Hnmf2FBFL2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

First, DeJoy corruptly bought his position. Then, he dangerously sabotaged the Postal Service for his own financial benefit and the benefit of this president—all at the expense of the American people. Now, he needs to go. RT if you agree. https://t.co/h5OWR7VAde — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's only health care plan is a deadly one: to take away the health care of millions including those living with pre-existing conditions. We can't let him accomplish it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Outrageous and outright unacceptable. The Justice Department should serve the people, not a president. Yet Bill Barr continues to act not as the Attorney General for the American people but as the personal henchman for Donald Trump. https://t.co/WSvCZtuKpn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

We have been seeing wildfires spread across the west as hurricanes hit the east. All of this after floods drowned the middle of America. Climate change is driving all of this. We must respond boldly by urgently passing the Green New Deal. https://t.co/lb7S15YP8q — PolitiTweet.org

No matter your age, wear a mask! For your safety and for the safety of your community, please be sure to continue adhering to public health precautions. https://t.co/rKQN6Y9raa — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

As the pandemic took off between March and May, Border Patrol didn't test a single immigrant for COVID-19. This total lack of care is just another way that this administration inhumanely treats immigrants and continues to severely mishandle the crisis. https://t.co/O9D13J7JX4 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Whether the unemployment rate is 11% or 8.4%, it is undeniable that families need more relief to withstand this crisis as one million new people are filing for unemployment each week. We must fully renew the $600/week of expanded unemployment assistance. https://t.co/nwftOAWkvl — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

More than 93% of households in our state have been counted (3rd best in the country!) but we need to get EVERY household counted. Here's what you can do: Go to https://t.co/7rCG42pGAY and fill out the form. It's quick but important. You can also do it via phone at 844-330-2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

We need a complete and accurate census—critical funding for our communities depends on it. I've called for counting operations to be extended and for an emergency allocation of $400 million to address the challenges of conducting the Census during COVID. https://t.co/K5hkBLHfrF — PolitiTweet.org

Today and every single day, I’m proud to organize alongside @MLKLabor as we continue to fight on behalf of workers throughout our community! Grateful for the opportunity to spend part of #LaborDay with them as we talked about securing full workers’ rights in WA & across America. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

To stop this devastation, we need solutions that match the scale of the crisis. My Paycheck Recovery Act would get relief directly to workers and businesses—covering payroll, bringing people off unemployment, and keeping shops from closing permanently. https://t.co/6ZVEe0eDOH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The more we learn about DeJoy, the more corruption and the more misconduct is brought to light. He continues to put his own power and profit over the Postal Service and the millions of people who depend on it. It's clear yet again: he must resign. https://t.co/V4808R7mFW — PolitiTweet.org

I'm thinking of workers and the millions who have lost jobs because of COVID-19. Let's have their backs by restarting the $600/week of expanded unemployment, renewing eviction moratoriums, issuing stimulus checks, and getting relief to businesses to bring workers back on payroll. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

I'm all in for the work still ahead. Join me in fighting this anti-worker president, passing a $15 minimum wage through the Senate, and organizing for strong worker protections & workers' rights. And let's never forget that workers not only power our economy but our country too. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

I'm also thinking about those in WA who have powerfully organized to turn our state into a leader on workers' rights. I was proud to fight alongside them to secure: ✅Paid leave ✅Collective bargaining laws ✅$15 minimum wage tied to inflation ✅Domestic Workers Bill of Rights — PolitiTweet.org
