This is so important. Californians can now visit https://t.co/GVGzE6zMzd to find their nearest testing site and make an appointment. Once again, our state is showing leadership during this public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos's death was likely preventable. My heart goes out to his family. For months, I have called on DHS and BOP to act quickly to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at facilities like Otay Mesa Detention Center. They must take every step available to prevent more illness and loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Let's speak truth about this. When a Black woman has a son, she knows that he may never be safe because of the color of his skin. No parent should have to fear this. Ahmaud Arbery's family deserves swift justice. #JusticeForAhmaud — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepPressley is a dear friend of mine and I could not be more excited to work with her on our new bill, the Saving Our Street Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I said at the Homeland Security Committee in February that we must hear from top Trump administration officials in charge of addressing this pandemic. It's been 2 months since our last oversight hearing while the death toll is mounting. Unacceptable. https://t.co/x8N3IT8nYO — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

The American people are tired of taxpayer funds going to big corporations while neighborhood businesses continue to struggle. My new bill is about saving the micro businesses just down the street—not Wall Street. https://t.co/e3gsZ5aHZ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Think about the micro businesses down the street—they’re the heart and soul of our communities and they need help. @RepPressley and I introduced the Saving our Street Act today to get money to our smallest businesses that truly need it. https://t.co/lQkJXIUZBm — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Neighborhood businesses are being shut out from relief while large companies receive millions. I'm talking about bodegas, nail salons, florists and more. So today, @RepPressley and I introduced the Saving Our Street Act to provide grants for micro-businesses that truly need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I'm leading my colleagues in a push to save Native and Tribal health facilities. We're in the middle of a pandemic and we can’t let these facilities close down while these communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Yesterday I led more than 50 of my colleagues in a push for more funds for Tribal and Urban Indian Health Facilities. Our Tribal and Native communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and these health facilities are in danger of closing. We can't let that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

In some areas, Native women are murdered at a rate 10x the national average. Countless Native women & girls remain missing. On National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls, we must speak out for those impacted and commit to ending this crisis. #MMIWG — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We’re proposing a common sense solution to lift up our struggling restaurant industry and address the crisis of hunger created by this pandemic. Proud to work alongside @RepMcGovern, @RepThompson, @SenatorTimScott, and @chefjoseandres on the FEED Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Earlier today I spoke with @ProtectOurCare about why the Affordable Care Act is so important during this pandemic. If Republicans & Trump have their way, millions could lose their health care in the middle of a global health crisis. The stakes could not be higher—we must fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

SSI and VA beneficiaries: TODAY is the deadline to apply with the IRS to receive $500 dependent payments. Don’t miss out on this last chance to receive this money. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Here's something we can fix right now: we have a crisis of hunger and an economic crisis facing our restaurant industry, including farmers. Cities should be able to pay local restaurants to deliver meals to vulnerable people. I introduced the FEED Act today to ensure they can. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My question to Rep. Ratcliffe in his confirmation hearing today to be the next DNI: do you believe Trump has accurately conveyed the severity of the threat of COVID-19 to the American people? He said "I believe so." But the facts say otherwise. https://t.co/H2eYnIQJF0 — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We're seeing a sharp increase in threats targeting Asian-American and other minority communities—no doubt fueled by Trump's xenophobic statements. That's why @SenatorDurbin and I are pushing Senate leadership for emergency funding to address hate crimes during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Here's how likely minority-owned businesses are to be DENIED from PPP loans: Black-owned: 95% Latino-owned: 91% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander-owned: 91% Asian-owned: 75% This is not what an equitable COVID-19 response looks like. I'm working to fix it. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

You made a great choice, Jade! Congratulations and welcome to the @HowardU family. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

So we're clear about Mitch McConnell's priorities this week: he's pushing to confirm Justin Walker, a 37 y/o conservative ideologue, to the DC Circuit Court. And on top of that, we already know this nominee has attacked SCOTUS's ruling upholding the ACA. https://t.co/gms4c2HEPg — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

I said it after Hurricane Maria and I’m saying it now: we need an accurate death count. It's critical to understanding COVID-19's impact. In 2018, I passed a bill to study and ensure this—but until that study is finished, FEMA needs to establish protocols for this pandemic, now. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Absolutely unacceptable that Trump is prioritizing bailing out Big Oil companies while dragging his feet to support millions of unemployed people, workers, small businesses, and state and local governments. The American people are tired of this. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

California is once again leading the way. Essential workers deserve to have peace of mind that their children are taken care of while they are doing the critical work of getting us through this pandemic. Visit https://t.co/88yL7ADQV7 for more information. https://t.co/WKXXVa4sWW — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

A new study found that unless we reduce the number of detained people in ICE detention centers, up to 100% of immigrants in custody could contract COVID-19 within 90 days. 100%. DHS needs to prioritize the release of low-risk and vulnerable people—immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

My new bill would create a COVID-19 Racial and Ethnic Disparities Task Force because this pandemic is highlighting deep racial disparities that have long existed in our country—and we need to act. https://t.co/rya5AePPlX — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Right now, Attorney General Bill Barr has DOJ lawyers—who work for taxpayers and the federal government—in the Supreme Court trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Remember that. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

To small business owners in CA struggling to get PPP funds: know that I hear you and I'm pushing Mnuchin and the SBA to fix this. This is especially frustrating when large companies are securing millions in loans. This won’t stand, and I’m demanding answers and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

We could not get through this pandemic without the tireless work of farm workers in California and across the nation. Heartening to see Californians come together to recognize their work like this. I'm fighting to ensure farm workers have the protections they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

Otay Mesa has the most COVID-19 cases of any ICE detention facility. That's why I called for an investigation into the treatment of people held there. There's no question that low-risk and vulnerable detained persons need to be safely released to prevent the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Vice President Kamala Harris @VP

This #MayDay and every day, I'm thinking about our essential workers who are working tirelessly to get us through this pandemic. We must do more to support them. That means hazard pay, paid leave, and free COVID-19 tests and treatment regardless of their immigration status. — PolitiTweet.org
