HELP Committee Ranking Member @PattyMurray & the @SenateDems put out a critical roadmap to boosting COVID-19 testing, and I’m glad they included a number of my proposals.
The @SenateDems & I agree: our COVID-19 testing priorities must include:
☑️Using the DPA for more tests
☑️Creating a testing-specific fund
☑️Developing a public-facing test inventory
☑️Reporting demographic data
☑️Expanding testing personnel
☑️Strengthening anti-corruption rules
I outlined my plan to rapidly boost COVID-19 testing capacity 3 weeks ago & will continue to work closely with @PattyMurray & @SenateDems to make those ideas a priority in the next coronavirus relief package. medium.com/@SenWarren/con…

Trump is muzzling independent oversight & putting the wealthy & well-connected first when handing out COVID-19 funds. Congress can fix that. @SenBlumenthal, @ChrisCoons, @RepJayapal, @RepSarbanes & I have new legislation to #StopCOVIDCorruption: abcnews.go.com/Politics/democ…
Step 1: No more conflicts of interest in who gets relief funds & who distributes them. We should make the White House task force disclose their financial interests, stop relief money from going to insiders, & padlock the revolving door to prevent bribes. #StopCOVIDCorruption
Step 2: Empower & protect the Inspectors General so the President can’t fire them without good cause. The President must inform Congress when an IG is removed, an investigation should be triggered, & the position should be filled by the IG’s first assistant. #StopCOVIDCorruption

The @US_FDA is working around the clock to push out more COVID-19 tests & treatments. @PattyMurray & I want to know how the FDA is tracking the quality, safety, & effectiveness of those products without political pressure from the President. politico.com/newsletters/po…
Trump cares more about what his Mar-a-Lago cronies say than the advice of public health experts. He recklessly peddled a COVID-19 miracle cure before scientists finished their work & fired the top expert who called him out. His priorities should not influence the @US_FDA.
Our country is facing its worst health emergency in a century, & the @US_FDA must take extraordinary measures. But we must have peace of mind that the FDA’s decisions about tests & treatments are being driven by science & data, not by the most corrupt President in history.

More than 30 million people are out of work. Economists are comparing our unemployment rate to the Great Depression. And Trump & his GOP allies still don’t have a plan to get us out of this economic disaster. This is a policy failure – and this is a moral failure.
Trump wants to close his eyes & pretend that sending people back to work right now will magically solve all our problems. But every day that he refuses to lead on the public health crisis killing thousands of Americans daily is adding years to our economic recovery.
Our economy will not fully recover from this pandemic until we can dramatically increase our COVID-19 testing capacity & stand up a nationwide contact tracing program so people can go to work without exposing more people to this deadly virus.
