Cases are spiking again across America. But Trump still hasn’t even implemented a national testing strategy. His blatant inaction and failed leadership has not only set us back months but it has also cost tens of thousands of lives. https://t.co/LbxrHvn7Ly — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Just horrible. This exemplifies so much of what is wrong with our immigration system. We must pass comprehensive and humane immigration reform so we can celebrate the dignity, humanity, and hard work of immigrants who are central to who we are as a nation. https://t.co/6Ty73sHhCX — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting News: A Financial Services subcommittee is holding a hearing on the Paycheck Recovery Act. This is a proven policy to keep workers on payroll and end mass unemployment while getting relief to businesses. We can do this but we have to do it quickly.

Mass unemployment is a policy choice. But it's a bad policy choice. We can and should choose differently by passing the Paycheck Recovery Act—getting urgent relief to workers and businesses. Tune in TODAY at noon as a @FSCDems subcommittee holds a hearing on this proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

This is yet another cruel, xenophobic, and unacceptable attack on immigrants. These young people contribute so much to our campuses, communities, and country. We would be foolish to lose out on their greatness. As someone who was on a student visa, I will fight this all the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

To the big businesses that oppose this: understand that the economic injustice disproportionately hurting Black and brown communities is systemic. If you truly believe #BlackLivesMatter, these are the kinds of structural changes that must be adopted to combat racism & inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

In a city with so much wealth & yet one of the most regressive tax systems, progressive taxation is desperately needed. Proud to see @CMTMosqueda & the Council take this step to begin the work of creating an economy that works for everyone—not just the wealthy & well connected.✊🏾 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

And let's pass my Paycheck Recovery Act so businesses don't have to choose between closing permanently and bringing their workers back before it's safe. This proposal covers the paychecks of workers and helps businesses—including small and minority owned ones—survive this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

We must address this head on! Let's fight to ensure frontline workers have hazard pay, paid leave, & PPE. Let's guarantee health care with Medicare for All at a time when Black and Latinx people are more likely to be uninsured. Let's invest in economic & environmental justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Diana said her husband got sick at a construction site in April. She and her brother soon fell ill too. Diana is still battling symptoms. “We have to go out to work,” she said. “We have to pay our rent. We have to pay our utilities. We just have to keep working.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This is not unrelated to the fact that Black and Latinx individuals are disproportionately the heroes working on the frontlines of this pandemic. Many don't have the option to stay home because they need their paycheck. So they're forced to go back to work where they get sick. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

A stunning confirmation of what we've been seeing: Black, Latinx, and Native people are being disproportionately impacted by COVID. Latinx and Black people have been 3X as likely to become infected as their white neighbors, and nearly 2X as likely to die. https://t.co/JSTCvwO4Hr — PolitiTweet.org

ICE is refusing to release vulnerable immigrants or allow them to follow basic public health guidelines—making detention centers a tinderbox for COVID-19. We must pass my FIRST Act to move immigrants out of detention centers and save lives. https://t.co/s6Vphauykb — PolitiTweet.org

Dreamers are American. Their home is here. And we're better off each day because of it. No amount of xenophobia or hate changes that. https://t.co/DLzcmaWU03 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Make no mistake: this IS preventable. We need to cancel rent and mortgages during this crisis. Congress must pass my Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, which would get urgent relief to people across America. https://t.co/KjhNl2qSBS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

As cases continue to rise, more people are losing their jobs for good. My Paycheck Recovery Act will stop mass unemployment, cover the paychecks of workers including those laid off since March 1, and ensure businesses aren’t forced to close permanently. https://t.co/Z3W6L0iK3H — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate should immediately pass the American Dream and Promise Act. The Trump Administration should finally begin accepting new DACA applications. Let’s ensure these young people can achieve their dreams and continue contributing to their communities. https://t.co/5q4Mh2q31Y — PolitiTweet.org

No surprise from someone with a long track record of racist housing discrimination. Let's fight back against Trump and a housing system based on devastating generational impacts that used exclusionary redlining and financial practices specifically to shut out people of color. — PolitiTweet.org
