Politician
Aug. 11, 2020
Letter to President Donald J. Trump - Capito Asks President Trump to Extend Title 32 Orders for West Virginia National Guard
Sen. Shelley Capito
Aug. 11, 2020
Tweet - "State budgets have already been under enormous pressure and it is unrealistic to make them cover 25% of unemployment assistance benefits. Americans need UI assistance & state/local govs need funding. Republicans must work with us to take real action."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 11, 2020
Tweet - "Struggling state governments can't afford to shoulder the burden for enhanced unemployment benefits. The President's executive order is not an adequate substitute for the comprehensive #COVID19 relief that is being held up by @SenateGOP ."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 10, 2020
Hoyer Statement on July Jobs Report
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Trump's so-called executive order cruelly cuts emergency unemployment benefits. By $800 per month. With more than 30 million Americans collecting unemployment in the midst of a pandemic. House Dems continue to fight #ForThePeople. We. Will. Prevail."
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries
Aug. 10, 2020
Menendez, Booker Announce Over $18M in CARES Act Funding to Support, Protect Families Living in Public Housing across NJ
Sen. Cory Booker, ...
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "The President's plan for extending enhanced unemployment places too much burden on state gov'ts. The White House & Republicans need to get back to the negotiating table so that Congress can pass a realistic & comprehensive plan for #COVID19 relief."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "Because of Democrats' obstruction, the extra federal unemployment aid expired. The PPP is closed with no second round in sight. No new money for testing or schools. No second round of checks to families. Democrats held all this hostage for non-COVID-related liberal priorities."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 10, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump's executive order on unemployment benefits is put together in such a sloppy way that it'll take weeks or months for states to even implement. Millions could lose everything before they ever see a check. Republicans must get back to the negotiating table!"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 10, 2020
CNN "Newsroom" - Transcript Interview with Amy Klobuchar
Sen. Amy Klobuchar
Aug. 9, 2020
Tweet - "The President's country club executive order amounts to a $200 cut in unemployment benefits & will strain already stressed state gov't budgets. Instead, White House & Republicans should come back to the negotiating table & work with Dems on a plan for #COVID19 relief."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Instead of putting in the work to solve Americans' problems, Pres. Trump chose to stay on his golf course to announce unworkable, weak & narrow policy announcements to slash the unemployment benefits that millions desperately need and endanger seniors' Social Security & Medicare"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 8, 2020

Sen. Ron Wyden
Aug. 8, 2020
Tweet - "Struggling Americans need action now. I am glad that President Trump is proving that while Democrats use laid-off workers as political pawns, Republicans will actually look out for them. My full statement:"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Aug. 8, 2020
Tweet - "There is only one job opening. For every five Americans currently looking for work. Why don't Republicans believe the $600 emergency unemployment insurance benefit should continue? Outrageous. There are NO jobs to go back to."
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries
Aug. 8, 2020

Rep. Madeleine Dean
Aug. 7, 2020

Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 7, 2020
Tweet - ". @HouseBudgetDems released an important report today about what's at stake for working families and our economy after the GOP allowed enhanced unemployment assistance to expire. We must reach agreement now to ensure Americans can make ends meet."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 7, 2020
Tweet - "Enhanced unemployment benefits expired a week ago and Republican leadership in the House & Senate is still refusing to join negotiations between Congressional Dems and the White House. It's time to get over our partisan differences to get this done."
Sen. Dick Durbin
