This is unprecedented devastation. Our response must match the scale of this crisis. Slashing expanded unemployment to $200 (or $0) is NOT going to cut it. We must extend expanded unemployment, extend the eviction moratorium, and get additional relief to people and businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

More than 1 million NEW people filed for unemployment last week. The same was true the week before. And the 16 weeks before that. We MUST extend (not cut to $100 or 0) the additional $600/week of unemployment. But we must do far more. People need relief as this crisis continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Absolutely the right decision. We have to fight this virus & staying home, physical distancing and masks are absolutely MUSTS. https://t.co/7TVraVt687 via @seattletimes — PolitiTweet.org

+1 for passing my Access to Counsel Act today. 9/10 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

When Republicans passed a $2 trillion tax cut for corporations and the ultra-wealthy, they didn't say we couldn't afford it. But when it comes to taking care of Americans in their most dire time of need, Republicans are demanding we cut COVID-19 relief. That is insulting. https://t.co/GFGnSyn9Ig — PolitiTweet.org

Victory! This is a huge day for conservation. This landmark environmental legislation makes full funding for the LWCF permanent while investing in the outdoor spaces and public lands that make our beautiful region of the country so special. https://t.co/iQHMMYKjvd — PolitiTweet.org

COVID and this economic crisis are racial justice issues. Black and Latinx workers have been disproportionately impacted. Minority-owned businesses have been locked out of relief. My Paycheck Recovery Act would get help to all businesses and their workers. https://t.co/tf0W2yL6Qw — PolitiTweet.org

I’m grateful for those in WA who bravely came forward to share their stories about what happened to them at Sea-Tac following the Muslim Ban or in Blaine after people of Iranian descent were detained for up to 12 hours with no access to counsel. Together, we passed this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

We had to fight back. So I drafted a bill that ensures US citizens, green card holders, & others with legal status are able to consult with an attorney if CBP detains them for over an hour. We introduced it, added co-sponsors, moved it through committees, & brought it to a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The very first bill I introduced when I arrived to Congress in 2017 was the Access to Counsel Act. It was a direct response to this president's xenophobic Muslim Ban. I'm elated to share that it just passed the House of Representatives! https://t.co/2GUC03KT2y — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful for all of the champions who made this possible. We would not be here today without the courage of Muslims and allies across the country who worked to repudiate the Muslim Ban and move Congress. You not only forced a necessary conversation but prompted necessary action. — PolitiTweet.org
