Here’s your plan:

Strengthen Medicaid

Reopen the ACA marketplaces

Provide COBRA assistance so laid-off workers can keep their employer-sponsored insurance.

And do it quickly.
And while you’re at it, drop the law suit that would completely unravel the Affordable Care Act and protections for pre-existing conditions in the middle of a pandemic.

This announcement from NIST is a big deal when it comes to the security of internet-connected devices, and it’s something I’ve been pushing for years. Now we need to pass legislation to ensure the federal government only purchases IoT devices that meet minimum security standards.
Three years ago I introduced the bipartisan Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act directing @NIST to develop security standards for #IoT devices purchased by the federal government. For three years, that bill has languished under cynical industry opposition.
The result has essentially been a free-for-all: companies are free to sell easily hackable devices with known vulnerabilities to the federal government (and consumers). That’s got to change.

There’s a lot going on right now, but want to share some important news: The bill that just passed out of the Senate Intel Committee makes big changes that will protect the integrity of our intelligence community from political interference.

Specifically:
The Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) puts new protections in place that will better protect whistleblowers from the political interference by the White House that we’ve seen directed at the intelligence community’s watchdog, the ICIG.
Following attempts by the White House to revoke security clearances for political retribution, the bill also includes legislation I wrote with @SenatorCollins to prevent the abuse of the security clearance process for political purposes.

Just finished questioning Fed Chairman Jay Powell in the Banking Committee and I want to share the absolutely devastating stat I asked him about:

According to the Fed, 40% of workers making under $40K have lost their jobs in the last 2 months

His response is a call to action:
If we are going to prevent a long, dragged out recovery, or even another economic depression, we need bold action now to help workers who are struggling.
I am eagerly looking forward to the Fed implementing the Main Street Lending Facility that I worked on, which will help mid-sized businesses, like a local manufacturer with 500 or maybe 1000 workers, get the cash they need to stay afloat during this crisis.
