Politician
Oct. 15, 2020
Tweet - "The #CARESAct helped families temporarily stave off financial ruin. House Dems acted twice to keep that lifeline going but the GOP Senate refuses to act; now millions of families are falling into poverty. This is unacceptable. Americans need relief now."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Economists agree that Americans and our economy benefited from the weekly $600 UI passed in CARES, and that state & local governments need help now -- that's why it is so irresponsible for the GOP to abandon American families who need economic relief."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Trump's dangerous decision to walk away from negotiations on a COVID-19 relief bill has placed our economy and millions of Americans at risk. He has abandoned the American people, leaving them to confront this pandemic on their own."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats worked in good faith last week and put forward a comprehensive bill to provide Americans with the urgent relief they need to get through this pandemic. Instead of working with us, Donald Trump walked away."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Unemployment claims from last week remain historically high with 1 in 6 workers seeking assistance. Instead of providing urgent relief, the GOP have walked away from negotiations on a COVID-19 relief bill, abandoning the millions of Americans who are waiting to get back to work."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 7, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump's impulsiveness, irrationality, and irresponsibility on display yesterday has put our economy and millions of Americans at risk."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 7, 2020
Hoyer: Trump's Impulsiveness, Irrationality, and Irresponsibility Has Put Our Economy and Millions of Americans at Risk
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 6, 2020
Tweet - "Chairman Powell's warning is consistent with what we already know: American families will experience continuing and unnecessary hardship unless they receive urgent relief now."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 6, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump's decision to walk away from the ongoing negotiations to give relief to people and businesses is another stark example of him telling the American people: "you're on your own.'"
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 2, 2020
Hoyer Statement on September Jobs Report
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 2, 2020
Tweet - "The jobs report shows that recovery we experienced from this pandemic's job losses slowed. More than 10M Americans are unemployed now compared to Feb. At September's pace, it would take 3 years to recover just the jobs lost in the month of April alone."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 1, 2020
Tweet - "Today the House passed the updated Heroes Act to meet the urgent needs of Americans. I urge President Trump and Senate Republicans to work with us to reach bipartisan agreement without further delay. https://bit.ly/34jv055"
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 1, 2020
Tweet - "House Dems have fought #ForThePeople by working to lower health care costs, raise wages & rebuild America, & clean up corruption & strengthen democracy while Republicans have failed the people with their inaction and obstruction."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 1, 2020
Tweet - "The pandemic's economic toll is devastating; it's unacceptable that Americans are forced to choose between keeping the lights on & putting food on the table. Dems are taking action tonight to provide relief; Trump & GOP should work w/us to reach agreement."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 30, 2020
Tweet - "The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated inequality & minority workers are suffering the most. This is unacceptable. Low-wage Americans need assistance now, and House Democrats will continue to fight for the relief that they and so many others need."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 29, 2020
Tweet - "The economy only works when it works #ForThePeople. That's why House Democrats passed legislation to ensure hardworking Americans have a chance to get ahead. Its time for the Senate GOP to stop blocking these bills and do their jobs."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 29, 2020
Tweet - "The economic crisis has been exacerbated by Republican mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. While Republicans #FailThePeople on the issues, Democrats have passed legislation to create jobs and raise wages, and will continue working #ForThePeople."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 29, 2020
Tweet - "American workers deserve an economy that works for everyone. House Dems have passed legislation to raise wages and rebuild our infrastructure. It's time for @SenateMajLdr to do his job and bring these critically important bills to the Senate floor."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 28, 2020
Tweet - "Since mid-August, I have urged House Democrats to put a compromise measure on the table to show Americans that we are continuing to negotiate in good faith. I am pleased that, working with Speaker Pelosi, we have fashioned a proposal."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 28, 2020
Hoyer Statement on Updated Version of the Heroes Act
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "The uptick in unemployment claims reflects more suffering & pain from the economic fallout resulting from GOP failure to address the pandemic. It also shows that the GOP argument against additional $600 in assistance is meritless. The GOP needs to get serious & take real action."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 8, 2020
Tweet - "For months Senate GOP refused to help state & local governments replace lost revenue as we confront this pandemic. Now we see the result: funding for important programs is being cut & the economic crisis grows. It's past time they pass the #HeroesAct."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 4, 2020
Tweet - "The jobs report for August makes it clear that millions of Americans are still struggling without work, and we have a long way to go before we recover from this crisis."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 19, 2020
