“If we hadn’t had that $600, we’d be homeless. Everything that I did with it was pay bills. I was behind on my power bill; I was behind on my water bill.” Sara’s story is one of countless that shows why we MUST extend the $600/week in expanded assistance. https://t.co/YsnKhNAoS1 — PolitiTweet.org

Mass unemployment is a policy choice—a very bad one. We can and must choose differently. Here's how my Paycheck Recovery Act works: https://t.co/nHOKdATYge — PolitiTweet.org

Germany stopped mass unemployment by covering the paychecks of workers through direct grants. Other countries did the same. We can too. We must pass the Paycheck Recovery Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Barr and Donald Trump say vote-by-mail has a high risk of voter fraud. They're lying. Over the past two decades, there have been more than 250 million ballots cast by mail. The fraud rate is 0⃣⏺0⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣6⃣% https://t.co/tHPUEpNCpJ — PolitiTweet.org

1.4 million NEW people filed for unemployment last week. That makes 19 weeks straight in which more than 1 million new people filed for benefits. People need more relief as this crisis continues. We must extend the additional $600/week of unemployment. https://t.co/YeC2fExdJi — PolitiTweet.org

"There's great value in confronting abuses of power directly, in public view, with such clarity...It's a formidable prophylactic against political apathy to see one’s fury at seemingly unchecked injustices expressed. It’s representative democracy at work." https://t.co/8iAYxRiSJR — PolitiTweet.org

During our hearing with tech CEOs, I outlined why we need to regulate these marketplaces so no company has a platform so dominant that it's essentially a monopoly. That's how we ensure more companies and small businesses can start, innovate, and thrive in our communities. https://t.co/MOqMUG3Svs — PolitiTweet.org

Trump said that vote-by-mail is "inaccurate and fraudulent." He's lying—per usual. Over the past two decades, more than 250 million ballots have been cast by mail. Take a guess as to what the fraud rate has been. — PolitiTweet.org

For more than half a century, Medicaid has improved the health and wellbeing of millions. But lawfully present immigrants have to wait years before they can enroll. We must pass my #HEAL4Immigrants Act to remove the 5-year bar on Medicaid. — PolitiTweet.org

We must stop tying health care to employment. There will be no greater tribute to those who fought for the inception of Medicare 55 years ago than to finally pass Medicare for All. https://t.co/e329YWWqaT — PolitiTweet.org

We've seen 151,000 deaths and a 33% decline in our economy—yet, members of the Trump Administration and their donors are continuing to profit off this corrupt response to COVID-19. It is long past time that we pass the CORE Act and #StopCOVIDCorruption. https://t.co/HoXiR5yRRS — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis was a hero for me, like he was for so many. He taught me so much about how to be in the world, how to organize and fight with ferocity but also gentleness. He gave hope, wisdom, lessons, and grace to our moral quest for justice. Rest in power. https://t.co/EWzygqqx5h — PolitiTweet.org

First, hell no. Second, you can't. Third, my state has proven year after year that vote-by-mail is safe and secure. And fourth, this outburst doesn't have anything to do with your total lack of leadership causing a 33% decline in our economy, does it? We will vote on November 3. — PolitiTweet.org

Many countries have successfully supported their workers by directly covering paychecks. It has sped up their economic recoveries. We must do the same. The Paycheck Recovery Act covers paychecks & benefits, gets relief to businesses, and helps rehire those laid off since March 1. — PolitiTweet.org
