During the COVID-19 pandemic, we rely on our postal service more than ever. We must protect the USPS, its workers & the vital services they provide to every zip code across the country. This isn’t just about the mail—it’s about lives & livelihoods. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, we can’t let up now. The mask mandate is working, but we each have to do our part. Remember to social distance, stay home as much as possible and to #MaskUpAL! https://t.co/VzxOiB4tRf — PolitiTweet.org

This just doesn’t cut it—slashing unemployment benefits, forcing states to foot part of the bill & tacking on additional wait time to receive help. The Senate needs to come back & reach a deal that doesn’t leave 30M Americans behind. https://t.co/0JzSSRU78Z — PolitiTweet.org

Suspending the changes isn’t enough—Americans need to know they can still rely on the USPS after November. This about the integrity of @USPS, and the Postmaster General owes answers to Americans about the changes that were already in place and the future of the USPS. — PolitiTweet.org

I want to see college football return just as much as the next fan—but it is problematic if folks continue to ignore the healthcare professionals. Please wear a mask, social distance & stay home. https://t.co/CjTywdyRN6 — PolitiTweet.org

Even if masks aren’t required, please make sure you bring one to the polls. Whether it’s next week’s local Alabama elections or the nationwide elections on November 3, wearing a mask will help make voting safer for *all* to make their voices heard. https://t.co/qlvKvaAdG0 — PolitiTweet.org

First the Russians, now the Iranians. When will the President finally demand answers about bounties on American troops? We owe it to the men and women in our military—and their families—to stand up for them and not turn a blind eye to this. https://t.co/KQhRMtZO6a — PolitiTweet.org

Even in a high-tech world, @USPS is vital to our daily lives. They deliver medicine & vital documents, ballots & birthday cards, food & flowers. And they are the lifeblood of our rural communities. Mitch McConnell needs to bring the Senate back immediately to #SaveUSPS. — PolitiTweet.org

This story is a great example of what we can do when we work together toward a common goal. Thanks to all the folks at Ft. Rucker who are working around the clock—even with the new challenges presented by COVID—to ensure their mission gets carried out. https://t.co/V46ZG7UXXq — PolitiTweet.org

It's alarming during a pandemic & election year to see an increase in mail delivery time & costs. This week, I joined my colleagues in writing to Postmaster DeJoy asking him to answer for his actions. The USPS, like voting, is a key part of our democracy. https://t.co/m2gswVt3jj — PolitiTweet.org

Black women make 62 cents to every dollar paid to their white male counterparts—a major injustice, but part of a bigger problem. Yesterday was Black women’s equal pay day, but every day we can commit to closing the wage gap & dismantling barriers safeguarded by systemic racism. https://t.co/cywuIvgsjh — PolitiTweet.org

In 1935, FDR signed Social Security into law, providing Americans with peace of mind about their economic security. Now, 85 years later, this program—and the 1 in 5 Americans currently receiving benefits—is at risk due to proposed payroll tax cuts. We can't let that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell’s decision to send the Senate home for a month without a COVID relief deal is an unconscionable failure of leadership and an insult to the sacrifices that so many Americans have made to get this virus under control. My full statement here: https://t.co/qatH5YTpxf — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate never should have left D.C. without passing a deal to extend emergency unemployment and eviction moratoriums, to provide funding for schools to reopen safely, and to create a national testing and contact tracing plan. We need to come together and negotiate a deal ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org
