Cut the Pentagon budget. Invest in our communities. https://t.co/dRsn9Zjc6Q — PolitiTweet.org

Get this: Pentagon officials gave Congress a "wish list" of $18 billion this year—ON TOP of its $740 billion budget! It's time to end this ridiculous, corrupt practice of excessive budgets on top of already bloated budgets. I introduced an amendment to rein this practice in. https://t.co/gjhQvCziAb — PolitiTweet.org

There's a better solution, one that ENDS mass unemployment. My Paycheck Recovery Act does that by: 🔵Covering paychecks up to $90K 🔵Keeping workers on benefits 🔵Rehiring those laid off since 3/1 🔵Getting relief to ALL businesses via grants 🔵Ensuring shops don't close for good — PolitiTweet.org

Cut the Pentagon's budget by at least 10%, and invest that money into our communities. There are so many things we could do with $74 billion. But what we should not do is give it away to corrupt defense contractors. https://t.co/oX7T7zFRHB — PolitiTweet.org

While we spend more than $740 billion on the defense budget, we have continued to whittle away transportation budgets—leading to large transit deserts, infrequent service, and poor maintenance upkeep for systems across America. A 10% cut to the Pentagon budget could change that. https://t.co/ym35Jy6JHz — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. It's time for our policy response to meet the scale of this crisis. We must pass my #PaycheckRecoveryAct, getting urgent relief to workers while also keeping businesses afloat. https://t.co/4geBHFzstX — PolitiTweet.org

Standing in solidarity with the thousands of workers in Seattle and across the country who are striking for Black lives. Thank you for continuing to powerfully fight against racism, anti-Blackness, and inequality as we organize for transformative change. https://t.co/VNl7LIgXx4 — PolitiTweet.org

I'll be championing a proposal this week that cuts the Pentagon's budget by at least 10%. That's $74 billion—and an important first step to reining in a military budget that is larger than the military budgets of the next 11 nations combined. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This year's defense budget was 90x bigger than the budget for the CDC. Yet—as we near 3.8 million COVID-19 cases and 141,000 deaths from the virus—Trump wants to add more money for defense spending while cutting money for testing and contact tracing. We can't let him. — PolitiTweet.org

The Access to Counsel Act was the FIRST bill I introduced in Congress. It was a direct response to this president's abhorrent, xenophobic Muslim Ban. And this week, it's being voted on by the full House of Representatives. Here's what it does—and why we need it to pass: https://t.co/ZHESoSOt6c — PolitiTweet.org

While at least 5.4 million people have lost their insurance during COVID-19, United Healthcare’s profits are soaring. The system isn’t broken—it’s working for exactly who it was designed for: for-profit insurance companies. We need Medicare for All now. https://t.co/0FAAgjRF38 — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis marched for voting rights. He marched to end family separation, gun violence, and poverty. He marched to secure women’s rights, immigrant rights, workers’ rights, and equality. He marched for what was good, just, and right. Let us continue his march with all we’ve got. https://t.co/8eA5gcU3qy — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

We can't continue to allow businesses to shutter. Congress must step in by passing my Paycheck Recovery Act—the quickest, most direct way to stop mass unemployment, cover paychecks, and get relief to businesses so they aren't forced to close permanently. https://t.co/5sZPuOlKcr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Proud to lead this effort in the House. Ensuring that we defeat COVID-19 before even more lives are lost should not be a political issue. The Trump Administration must finally put its own interests aside and put the well-being of the American people first. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

From a bridge in Selma to the halls of Congress, John Lewis was a true American hero who never stopped fighting for what is right. We must continue his march towards justice. We must make good trouble in his name. And we must never give up, never give in. Rest in power. — PolitiTweet.org

TODAY was the initial deadline for kids to be released from detention centers. ICE is now asking for more time. It's simple: Release the children WITH their parents. Don't once again separate families. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

To defeat COVID-19, we need timely, accurate, and public data. While the CDC has provided that, we know that Trump won't. That's why I'm leading an effort in the House to rescind this corrupt new order that tries to hide COVID-19 data. https://t.co/BDXGILi8tJ — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to help pass H.R. 2—a deeply necessary investment in our country's infrastructure. It includes $28 billion in investments for bridges like the West Seattle Bridge. I'm urging the Senate to bring this critical legislation to a vote. https://t.co/2xCubqGZmR — PolitiTweet.org

We have a $740.5 billion military budget. The least we can do is cut it by 10%. Let's end homelessness instead of spending billions and billions and billions of dollars on endless wars and nuclear weapons. https://t.co/wmmXTGtJCC — PolitiTweet.org
