The annual Defense bill is one of the most important—and bipartisan—bills we pass every year. To put politics ahead of our troops and our nation's security is unacceptable. https://t.co/o9bH1TNzcw — PolitiTweet.org

We should never allow a child to go hungry, yet more than 24% of Alabama children face food insecurity. As the new school year approaches, I’m urging the Administration to extend this program & ensure continued access to free meals. https://t.co/QAkYtba4eF — PolitiTweet.org

My friend @RepTerriSewell is absolutely right. We owe it to our friend John to restore the full force of the Voting Rights Act. We must continue to build upon his legacy to ensure equality & justice—starting at the ballot box. — PolitiTweet.org

Having a roof over your head is essential to staying safe & healthy, pandemic or not. That's why we put in place certain eviction protections for vulnerable renters—but we need to *enforce* them and prevent these folks from losing their homes. https://t.co/SkgiwdRSjL — PolitiTweet.org

In Alabama, 22% of COVID cases are from people under the age of 25. Y'all this isn’t just the “sniffles"—the after effects of COVID can be devastating & disruptive to young people as well. Let's each do our part by wearing a mask & social distancing. https://t.co/p7ixYRcgj8 — PolitiTweet.org

Alabama is a leader in auto manufacturing, so why not health care manufacturing, too? My Build Health Care Equipment in America Act incentivizes idle plants to repurpose their space to manufacture health care equipment—creating jobs & economic benefits. https://t.co/mOG2z3pDFl — PolitiTweet.org

Since yesterday, Alabama alone has added 1,846 new cases. We now have had over 67,000 Alabamians test positive for COVID-19. To try & block billions that could fund testing & contract tracing at a time when we need it most is reckless. We can do better. https://t.co/EjOFN8unug — PolitiTweet.org

John was called the ‘conscience of Congress.’ May the conscience of all in Congress and the Senate be awakened by his passing to finish his efforts to restore integrity to the Voting Rights Act. Full statement on the passing of my friend John Lewis here: https://t.co/9Ocnku9B5Z — PolitiTweet.org

It wasn’t too long ago Montgomery was considered a national hotspot for COVID-19 cases—now they’re seeing cases decline. I’m grateful to see the drop in cases after instituting a mask policy. https://t.co/oCX4AccrvX — PolitiTweet.org

I’m deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Rev. C. T. Vivian—a veteran advocate for justice & equality. His work organizing non-violent boycotts, sit ins & protests across the South helped to spur meaningful change that we still see today. https://t.co/2Z8NaJyP6v — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @GovernorKayIvey did the right thing by enacting a statewide mask policy. I know we all want to move past this deadly, disruptive pandemic & we can help do this by wearing a mask & social distancing. We can each do our part to protect lives & livelihoods. — PolitiTweet.org

The US Postal Service is critical to connecting Americans & we must ensure its survival. Attacks threaten the economy & livelihoods of nearly 500,000 Americans, as well as hurt rural communities that depend on its service. #SaveUSPS https://t.co/nvtXYBsDl5 — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past 14 days, Alabama has reported over 18,000 new coronavirus cases—accounting for 32% of the state’s total cases since the pandemic started. I can’t say it enough: we have to do better. Wear your mask, social distance & stay home. — PolitiTweet.org

Sidelining or undermining our nation’s top public health official in the midst of a pandemic is absolutely reckless, to say the least. We need Dr. Fauci’s expertise if we’re going to beat this virus.https://t.co/ofw65vi3nY — PolitiTweet.org

We need to do everything we can to make sure folks can get the help they need during these hard times. The next COVID relief package must include the resources states need to process the surge of unemployment claims they're seeing. https://t.co/IKPJIB7nr7 — PolitiTweet.org

Parents, students & teachers need to feel safe going back to school. That means it's crucial for school districts to have the support they need to follow health care guidelines to keep everyone healthy—which is exactly what my bill with @SenStabenow & @SenBillCassidy would do. — PolitiTweet.org

I can't believe I have to say this, but: more COVID-19 cases means more death, more strain on struggling hospitals, more isolation. We get further from fully reopening our economy. It's not only irresponsible to welcome the spread of COVID-19, it's dangerous and deadly. — PolitiTweet.org

It's important we make sure our students, educators & essential staff are armed with the tools to be safe & healthy when schools reopen. This is a great first step. I urge the Senate to pass my Reopen Schools Safely Act so we can continue to provide support as we reopen schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, Dr. Fauci is absolutely right. To effectively fight this virus, we have to come together and set aside politics—there's no room for that in a public health crisis. https://t.co/S4QSqwpFNi — PolitiTweet.org

We need to pass my bill to incentivize states to make PPE right here in America. We could revitalize old factories across Alabama, make our state a health care manufacturing hub, AND ensure essential workers have the gear they need to stay safe. https://t.co/viV3hUfgDO — PolitiTweet.org

Less than two hours after opening, a Huntsville COVID-19 testing site reached capacity. *Less than two hours.* This is unacceptable—we are now months into this pandemic & we still don’t have the adequate tools necessary to fight this & stay safe. https://t.co/TWf0DdV8hj — PolitiTweet.org

There seems to be an unwillingness from this Administration to call out or even investigate Russia for their bad actions—even when the lives of Americans are at stake. The U.S. needs to demand answers from Vladimir Putin on the supposed bounties & if true—take appropriate action. — PolitiTweet.org

3 million cases in the U.S. To put into perspective, 4.9 million people live in Alabama. Since July 1, just over 317,000 (10%) of those 3 million cases were reported. 372,900 people live in Madison County. This virus isn’t going to “just disappear.” https://t.co/si3RRAMh3G — PolitiTweet.org

I know we're all eager to do our part to further prevent the spread of COVID-19—but one thing that won’t help is misinformation. I know it’s easy to share a post you think is helpful, but please make sure it's accurate. Wearing a mask is safe & effective.https://t.co/EZfyAB5Z7F — PolitiTweet.org

February 29, 2020: First confirmed COVID-19 death in the U.S. July 8, 2020: 130,000+ deaths in the U.S. In just 130 days we have lost more Americans than we did in WWI. This is unconscionable—we have to do better. American lives are dependent on it. — PolitiTweet.org
