Durbin: Senate Democrats Fighting To Put Working Families First & Address Public Health Crisis In Third Coronavirus Stimulus Package
|
Sen. Dick Durbin
|
| March 22, 2020
|
Tweet - "Senate Democrats' political posturing just delayed the next installment of bipartisan coronavirus relief."
|
Sen. John Thune
|
| March 22, 2020
|
Tweet - "I sat in meetings across the table from Democrat colleagues negotiating a bipartisan bill to help provide direct relief to the American people. Yet, tonight, Democrats voted to block the bill. I'm ready to keep working, but it's time to check politics at the door."
|
Sen. John Thune
|
| March 22, 2020
|
Tweet - "This partisan coronavirus stimulus package neglected hospitals, community health centers, health care workers, & first responders; it neglected state & local gov'ts, teachers, cafeteria workers, & bus drivers; it neglected small businesses, non-profits, & working class families."
|
Sen. Dick Durbin
|
| March 22, 2020
|
Tweet - "Community Health Centers are a critical resource for millions of Americans-especially during this severe coronavirus outbreak. To ensure that the nation's most vulnerable communities still have access to care during this crisis, Congress must increase funding to CHCs immediately."
|
Sen. Dick Durbin
|
| March 22, 2020
|
Tweet - "To recap: Democrats just blocked a bill that would provide direct cash payments to Americans who need it most -- like hourly workers. Not to mention funding to help support health care workers who are on the front lines. I hope Dems can put politics aside and work with us."
