Save families

Housing is a basic need for families, especially during this public health crisis. @SenJeffMerkley, @SenSanders, @RepPressley, @RepKatiePorter & I called for @HUDgov to suspend evictions for renters – I'm glad HUD is now taking this necessary step. https://t.co/3IM8jzjOcr

The Elizabeth Warren team in Illinois took a moment to collect themselves, rolled up their sleeves, and went back to work helping Marie Newman. And it may have been enough for a stunning upset of Dan Lipinski. #TeamWarren https://t.co/oihwEcKmY1

Whole Foods is owned by the richest person in world history. Instead of wage theft, that person could probably dig around for change in his couch that would cover sick leave for every whole foods worker and double that again. https://t.co/X6OYHwqrDl

His puppeteers told him to cut pandemic spending

Because after all, that money belongs in their pockets:

Americans for Prosperity, the Koch dark money pressure group that has spent several hundred million electing Republicans, compiled a list of programs they wanted Congress to cut, which includes CDC funding for global pandemic response & disease prevention https://t.co/jKx6VBCKXB

In 2018, after increasing the Pentagon's budget that year by $82 billion and just after passing a $1.5 tril tax cut, the Congressional GOP pushed a $15 billion "rescission bill" cutting spending on health programs, including international aid for responding to infectious disease. pic.twitter.com/OPzeCf6pOu

President Trump's budget requests repeatedly call for cuts to the CDC & the State Dept's infectious disease response funds. Why? The same cuts were demanded by Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks and Heritage Action, influential right-wing billionaire-backed pressure groups. pic.twitter.com/8NL8sez14W

@SecretarySonny Go ahead, Sonny Boy, w/your plan to cut SNAP benefits for 700,000 recipients in the middle of a national emergency after you handed out tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to a crooked Brazilian meatpacking company. I dare you…..https://t.co/KitiQiz0AI
— mrs panstreppon (@mrspanstreppon) March 13, 2020

…In case it slipped your mind, Sonny Boy, the name of the Brazilian meatpacking company is JBS USA, owned by Wesley & Joesley Batista, two brothers who admitted to bribing hundreds of government officials in their home country….https://t.co/EP3mbkgIrB

Stephen Miller and Trump want to starve immigrants:

Confusion over Trump's "public charge" rule means more immigrant families are going without food. As many as 26 million people could be “chilled” from health, nutrition and housing programs because of misinformation about the rule. https://t.co/3cBabIsV21
