A special enrollment period would empower millions to get covered not only to protect themselves, but their families and our communities during this pandemic. The President needs to stop playing politics, and start saving lives. @SenateDems are calling to open enrollment - now. — PolitiTweet.org

Found this timely t-shirt from the @medbinc's @amoscon while doing some closet organizing. Let’s keep social distancing and remember the six-feet rule. We’re in this together. https://t.co/QDh8ZQ8uLm — PolitiTweet.org

For domestic violence victims and survivors, sheltering in place can be life-threatening. No one should feel unsafe in their own home. The Senate must pass #VAWA4All and protect critical resources to combat domestic violence and abuse. It's time we stand with survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Roberts Court that brought you Citizens United and Shelby County further erodes voter protections with their recent Wisconsin decision. Does not bode well for what might come in November with two Justices @realDonaldTrump is counting on. Courts matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Removing Glenn Fine from leading CARES Act oversight shows once again that @realDonaldTrump wants a rubber stamp for his pattern of corruption and his repeated efforts to circumvent Congressional oversight and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

I can see why @realDonaldTrump likes Peter Navarro so much. Both spread dangerous misinformation not based on fact and science during a pandemic. Birds of a feather flock together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

.@realDonaldTrump shook-down a foreign leader, stonewalled Congress and bullied whistleblowers. In the midst of a pandemic, he's abusing his power to take revenge on the IG who did his job to inform Congress of whistleblower's complaint. We need a President not a petty dictator. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

With the nominations of Justin Walker and Cory Wilson, @realDonaldtrump and @SenMajLdr are sending a clear message on what their priorities are. They’re pushing anti-health care nominees at a time Americans are facing a public health crisis unlike anything we’ve ever seen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The guidance from the IRS would have made our senior citizens face yet another burden during the #COVID19Pandemic. I pushed @Treasury to ensure that our seniors would automatically be sent stimulus payments without having to file a tax return. Our seniors need help from us now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The racist rhetoric from the highest level of our government has contributed to a disturbing rise in hate-crimes targeting Asian Americans. Calling the #COVID19Pandemic the ‘Wuhan virus’, ‘Kung flu’, or ‘Chinese virus’ isn’t clever or funny, it’s wrong and deeply harmful. — PolitiTweet.org

DHS must release low-risk, vulnerable detained persons now. The health and safety of those in ICE detention are at stake here. There’s no time for the @DHSgov, @ICegov, and @CBP to waste while those who are stuck in detention are left as sitting ducks for the coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

Under the cover of coronavirus, @realDonaldTrump is rolling back fuel economy standards, against the advice of scientists and even the auto industry. We’re going through an economic crisis and yet this move would cost drivers at the pump to benefit the oil industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

During a public health emergency when it’s clearer than ever that we all need health care, @realDonaldTrump is racing to put Cory Wilson – an extremely partisan, anti-Affordable Care Act nominee – on the federal circuit court where Trump is fighting to undermine the ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Having to isolate at home during #COVID19 can mean being with an abuser for those who experience domestic violence. The @dvachawaii now has live chat on their website: https://t.co/zvIRt6PbZg. You can also reach them at their new text line: 605-956-5680. You are not alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Thank you to the doctors, nurses, firefighters, and other first responders who are on the front lines of this pandemic. While they do their jobs at great personal risk, @realDonaldTrump refuses to do his. We can’t change him, but the rest of us can do the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

At a time like this, the @US_FDA still enforces their discriminatory ban that healthy gay and bisexual men cannot donate blood. This policy was never grounded in science and continues to uphold stigmas that must end now. To change this policy now would help save countless lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

If you're healthy and able to do so, please consider donating blood to help meet the need during the coronavirus pandemic. Due to blood drive cancellations, @BloodBankHawaii needs Hawaii residents to #donateblood. You can still make an appointment even under stay-at-home orders. — PolitiTweet.org

ATTENTION: If you’re a small business owner, help is on the way during the COVID-19 pandemic. Provisions I introduced would cover your payments to @SBAgov. This loan covers expenses up to $10M per business so you don’t have to fire your workers and can pay your rent/utilities. — PolitiTweet.org

decisions that are changing our way of life and impacting HI’s economy deeply. This legislation, while not perfect, is an ambitious effort to bolster our health care system, provide much needed relief to workers and families across the country, and support small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The coronavirus pandemic is a challenge that will require not just a whole of government, but a whole of society effort to overcome. Governors and Mayors in HI and across the country have had to make difficult but necessary decisions to protect public health - — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It is shameful and unbelievably selfish for Republicans to hold up this bill that’s going to help working people in our country. It’s amazing that some are saying we’re giving too much for these people who are already getting so little. https://t.co/EV55tmiBcx — PolitiTweet.org
