Some Tweets from US House Rep Rashida Tlaib

Hey , let's provide relief from this crisis for people by giving pre-loaded debit cards to every person in America. No additional debt—we'll just mint two coins. #ABCAct #MintTheCoin
This is the kind of break-the-glass thinking we need to address the scale of the crisis. Hats off to for thinking huge in terms of getting money into people's hands, and not listening to the "but how will we pay for it crowd. Let's #MTFC already.
🚨
I am calling for an #IIOT platform + open market place to SAVE AMERICAN LIVES. We need to connect manufacturers and suppliers to make PPE. This can be done through an open source market place that connects suppliers. #Masks #ventilators #coronavirus

Today, I signed an Executive Order that temporarily suspends evictions, ensuring Michiganders are able to remain in their homes during the #COVIDー19 pandemic. Families are facing a number of uncertainties - worrying about whether they’ll be evicted shouldn’t be one of them.
They irresponsibly chose to make their shareholders richer & now they want us to bail them out!

Credit reporting agencies must halt the reporting of adverse incidents from hospital bills, mortgage payments, and credit card payments during the #COVID2019 pandemic. Proud to join and Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay in calling on them to do so: tlaib.house.gov/media/press-re
