Sen. Hawley’s proposal would dispense financial assistance to working families, while children are out of school and parents are at home, based on the number of children.
Today I am proposing an Emergency Family Relief effort to get real help into the hands of working families quickly. 30 million+ students are out of school, and more to come. Parents staying home & missing work need help - and so does our economy

We should also expand unemployment assistance, just as we do during natural disasters, to help those individuals who lose work because of this emergency

After sickening the world, #China says #COVID19 didn’t start in Wuhan, or anywhere in China. Time to call out Beijing’s disgusting, shameless propaganda. Let’s partner with allies for a full investigation. Show the world the facts. https://t.co/DtVccd9aBL
