Politician
July 28, 2020
McConnell on CNBC's "Closing Bell"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "Tens of millions of Americans are jobless American families are struggling to keep a roof over their heads Nearly 150,000 Americans have died The GOP plan does not meet this moment The HEROES Act that passed the House matches the scale of this crisis and the needs of Americans"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "We've known from the start that CARES Act unemployment benefits would expire on July 31. Democrats have been sounding the alarm on this for months. Any further delay is absolutely unacceptable--unemployed Americans need help now."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "We have produced a tailored and targeted bill that will address each of the three distinct crises facing our country: Getting kids back in school, getting workers back to work, and winning the healthcare fight against the virus. Kids, jobs, and healthcare."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "Protections against evictions expired last week. Enhanced unemployment benefits for over 20 million unemployed Americans will expire this week. We are on the precipice of several dangerous cliffs for one reason only: President Trump and Senate Republicans wasted time."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 27, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Eugene Scalia, Secretary of the Dept. of Labor - Chairman Neal and Ranking Member Wyden Ask DOL for More Information to Understand Leader McConnell's Cuts to Emergency Unemployment Benefits
Sen. Ron Wyden, ...
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "If you've lost your job through no fault of your own, Republicans want you to take a 30% pay cut. Can you believe that? If you've lost your job and can't go back to work Republicans now want to take $1,600 out of your pocket every single month."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 27, 2020
Wyden Statement on Republican Plan to Slash Unemployment Benefits, Sabotage State Unemployment Offices
Sen. Ron Wyden
July 26, 2020
Tweet - "If Senator McConnell keeps dithering, New Yorkers and Americans nationwide will be hurt as we face dangerous cliffs: 1. States are sending final enhanced unemployment checks 2. The moratorium on evictions has expired 3. State and local governments are going broke"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 24, 2020
Tweet - "Without action by President Trump & Senate Republicans, federal unemployment insurance will expire for millions of Americans this weekend. The Senate must take up the House-passed #HeroesAct & extend this critical lifeline for working families."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi
July 24, 2020
Tweet - "This new analysis from @EconomicPolicy shows the Republican scheme to hurt unemployed Americans will result in 3.4M fewer jobs over the next year and needless pain for millions of families struggling because of the COVID-19 crisis across the country."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 24, 2020

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, ...
July 24, 2020
Tweet - "This weekend, millions of Americans will lose their Unemployment Insurance, will be at risk of being evicted from their homes, and could be laid off by state and local government There is only one reason: Republicans have been dithering for months while America's crisis deepens"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 24, 2020
Tweet - "Let's be clear: if you lost your job through no fault of your own and can't go back to work because the Trump administration has mismanaged the crisis, Republicans want you to take a pay cut of 30 percent or even more."
Sen. Chuck Schumer

Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2021
Rep. Sanford Bishop
July 23, 2020
Tweet - "The Trump White House and Senate Republicans reportedly want to extend enhanced unemployment benefits, but only provide 70% of a worker's former wage. That's right, America. If you've lost your job through no fault of your own, Republicans want you to take a 30% pay cut."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 23, 2020
Tweet - "The GOP disarray has potentially serious, deadly consequences Over 140K Americans have died from COVID 1.4M filed for unemployment over the last week Tomorrow night the moratorium on evictions expires This weekend many states will send their final enhanced unemployment checks"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 23, 2020
Tweet - "The likely centerpiece of the Republican COVID proposal is not aid for the over 20M unemployed Americans. It's corporate immunity to protect big companies from lawsuits. Once again, Senate Republicans would rather provide relief to big corporations than to workers & families."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 23, 2020
Tweet - "Senator @RonWyden and I have been fighting for our bill to give families income stability and make sure expanded unemployment benefits are there as long as this crisis continues He took to the floor with @SenateDems to demand the Senate act But Senate GOP blocked it #ExtendUI"
