I'm thinking of frontline workers—heroes who have ALWAYS kept our communities going. I refuse to allow them to be called essential but treated as expendable. That's why I'm fighting for hazard pay, paid leave, Medicare for All & the passage of my Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This #LaborDay, COVID has only highlighted the fact that workers are the backbone of this country. I'm grateful for workers across America, and I'm proud to fight alongside them for good wages, strong benefits, full workers' rights, the right to organize, and dignity on the job. https://t.co/1G1hf8SRhB — PolitiTweet.org

In order to defeat the virus, we need a vaccine that people can trust. Trump's politicization of the CDC, spreading of conspiracy theories, and lack of a testing strategy do nothing to help. We must follow the science and listen to the experts. https://t.co/7I5tIRk6Tp — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of immigrants have tested positive for COVID while in ICE detention centers. Crowding more people into these dangerous conditions will only put more lives in danger. We must pass my FIRST Act to begin releasing immigrants from detention centers.https://t.co/un8gQNp8dc — PolitiTweet.org

We are in the midst of a mass evictions crisis that could quickly go from bad to worse. We must extend the eviction moratoriums but we must also cancel rent and mortgage payments throughout this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Labor unions are vastly popular across the country at a time when workers' rights are too often under attack. Especially during this public health and economic crisis, we should be making it MUCH easier for workers—including frontline workers—to organize. https://t.co/ceVapIDpn0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Our for-profit health care system means that as people lose their jobs during this crisis, they also lose their insurance. It's long overdue that we stop tying health care to employment. We need Medicare for All. https://t.co/KWMxBqG4IE — PolitiTweet.org

DeJoy intentionally sabotaged the USPS, causing delays and attacking the health, voting rights, and economic stability of people across America. It isn't just me who wants him gone: it's the American people. https://t.co/F9PxgTLUZe — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

All officers involved in the murder of Daniel Prude must be held accountable. In their months of hiding what happened, we once again see so clearly why we must reimagine policing. There needs to be accountability, real justice, and transformative change. https://t.co/NciyY5B9ai — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

It has been three years since Trump attempted to end DACA even though we know that Dreamers are home. They are American. The Senate must immediately pass the American Dream and Promise Act. No more delays. https://t.co/fNycOAepjk — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This distinction didn't come out of nowhere. Workers in Seattle and across WA organized to make us the best. As national leaders, they fought for and secured a $15 minimum wage, a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, paid leave, and other bold protections. https://t.co/RPot83PzrN — PolitiTweet.org

1⃣Reinstate the $600/week of expanded unemployment 2⃣Renew eviction moratoriums 3⃣Cancel rent & mortgage payments through the crisis 4⃣Send out monthly stimulus checks 5⃣Get direct relief to businesses to cover payroll & operating costs 6⃣Fully invest in testing & contact tracing — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Our country is STILL down at least 11.5 million jobs. But it's about so much more than the number, it's about what each of those jobs represent: a worker and a family that is trying to withstand this crisis. Here are 6 things we can do to immediately get them critical relief: — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Putting their lives on the line for our country, service members past & present represent the best of us and deserve the best from us. But Trump consistently falls short—from deporting them to allowing bounties to be put on their heads and disgracing their service at every turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump and Bill Barr continue to spread blatant lies about fraud in vote-by-mail. RT to help spread the truth far and wide: https://t.co/akV5kLawFy — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is launching a full-scale assault on Social Security that would have a devastating impact on millions. That's the opposite of what we should be doing. Don't cut Social Security; expand it. https://t.co/lvLoEH1beQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

It has been five months since a $1,200 stimulus check was sent out. It wasn't nearly enough. As the pandemic continues, the economic relief must too. We should send out monthly stimulus checks so people can actually withstand this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Absolutely. Republicans weren't concerned when they passed a $2 trillion tax cut for corporations and the ultra-wealthy. They weren't concerned by the $740 billion annual Pentagon budget. But they're concerned about the cost of sending more relief to people during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This is not only devastating, it is preventable. I refuse to just watch as millions are evicted. I'm fighting for an eviction moratorium. I'm fighting to cancel rent and mortgage payments during COVID. And I'm fighting for more relief so people can actually withstand this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

It has been half a year since this crisis began and we continue to see 1 million NEW people filing for unemployment per week. Relief needs to match the scale of this crisis. We must renew the $600/week of expanded assistance and get more relief out now. https://t.co/tzcDTo9GHM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

We have a proud tradition in Seattle of protesting injustice. We’re not going to get distracted by threats from a lawless president and his corrupt administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Join me in demanding better from this president. Join me in calling on him to stop inciting violence and threatening to cut funds to cities. Join me in telling him to focus on getting real relief to people during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Instead of cutting unemployment benefits and passing shallow executive orders that do nothing to provide real relief to people across America, he should be working with Congress to immediately pass a substantial relief package that meets the scale of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Instead of standing idly by as more than 6.1 million people have tested positive and at least 186,600 people have already died because of his inaction, he should be focused on investing in a national testing and contact tracing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Instead of levying partisan attacks at cities across America and attacking those powerfully protesting police brutality, this president should be focused on attacking COVID and the devastating economic crisis we face with millions having lost their jobs, housing, and health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Not just unlawful but also a prime example of Trump's failed leadership and desperation. Amidst COVID, people in Seattle & across America need more federal funding—not less. Yet he would prefer to turn your attention away from these real crises by fearmongering & fanning racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Bill Barr once again made clear today that he is not serving as the Attorney General for the American people. He is serving as the personal henchman for Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
