Imagine how much safer our country would be if every teacher could get an N95 mask.
Imagine how much safer our country would be if every bus driver could get an N95 mask.
Imagine how much safer our country would be if every health care worker could get an N95 mask.
Why isn't any of this a reality, in the most wealthy country in the world with our vast manufacturing talent?

Here's the sad truth: it IS possible.

But seven months into COVID-19, the Trump Administration has totally failed to scale up PPE production.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/…
I put out a plan in MARCH for exactly this:

mobilizing American manufacturing to scale up PPE production and protect our frontline workers.

Imagine how much safer our country would be if the Trump Administration hadn't refused to implement it.

Today's Ohio #BlackHistory 🧵

Cleveland's own Garrett Morgan, a prolific African-American inventor.

Most known for inventing the gas mask and traffic signal, and his heroic role in saving the lives of workers trapped underground.
In 1916, Cleveland workers drilling a tunnel under Lake Erie became trapped in toxic fumes following a huge gas explosion.

After two previous failed rescue attempts, Mr. Morgan and his brother stepped in, using his gas masks to rescue two workers and recover four bodies.
Despite his heroism, it took years for the city to recognize his crucial role in the rescue.

Even when orders for his life-saving smoke hoods came pouring in from fire departments across the country, many canceled their purchases when they realized the inventor was a Black man.

Here's a thread of everything Trump, McConnell, and Senate Republicans should be doing to help Americans get through this pandemic -

INSTEAD of jamming through a Supreme Court nomination.
Rent relief.

Families are being kicked out of their homes during a pandemic.

Rent relief has been sitting on McConnell's desk for 5 months. #RentReliefNow

More stimulus checks.

In eight months, Americans have received just one $1,200 check.

There should be quarterly, $2,000 checks.

⚠ THREAD -

We need to make it as easy as possible for Ohioans to cast their ballot SAFELY this November.

But Republicans are only making it harder for you to vote.
My colleagues and I called on Ohio Secretary of State LaRose to support providing more than one secure ballot drop box in each county.

Instead, he tried to block them.
cleveland.com/open/2020/09/o…
Today, a judge AGREED with us.

In his ruling, he said LaRose’s decision to limit drop boxes amid a pandemic and postal delays is “arbitrary and unreasonable.”

THREAD: If you don't believe it's within President Trump's character to denigrate the men and women of our armed forces,
 
you haven't been paying attention to the last four years.👇
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
President Trump called Senator John McCain, an American war hero, a "loser".
 
He said, "I like people who weren't captured.
President Trump attacked a Gold Star family, whose son Humayan paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country - with anti-Muslim bigotry.

We're five months into a health and economic crisis. 18 million are out of work.

But instead of sending another stimulus check, or doing ANYTHING to help people pay their rent and bills -

The White House is telling workers to #FindSomethingNew.

That's it. That's their plan.
Thinking workers want another AD CAMPAIGN instead of pay and protections is the definition of out-of-touch.

Switching careers is not like picking a new show on Netflix.

#FindSomethingNew
#FindSomethingNew is insulting.

How will unemployed workers afford an associate's degree or vocational training, when they're already struggling to pay their bills -

and President Trump wants to REDUCE the unemployment insurance they're relying on to get by?
