COVID-19 has hit Canadians hard, but know our government is fighting it with everything we have.
Ontario is administering 30,000+ vaccine doses daily & will continue to ramp-up as we receive more shipments. When #TeamCanada works together, there is nothing we can't achieve.
Thank you @staceyabrams, @MsLaToshaBrown, @KeishaBottoms, @ngpaction, @BlackVotersMtr and everyone in the State of Georgia for delivering much needed relief to American workers, families and businesses.
We can’t send parents back to work if their child care is gone. @SenTinaSmith and I have been fighting for a $50 billion child care bailout since April – and today we got it done. Woo-hoo!
Americans asked for bold COVID relief, and Democrats are delivering it:
For families and people
For those who lost their job through no fault of their own
For food, rent, utilities
For small businesses
For the vaccine
To the American people—More help is on the way
Today, Senate Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan and big, bold, urgent COVID relief for people across this country.
Effective Monday, March 8, Toronto and Peel will move out of the stay-at-home orders and into Grey-Lockdown.
The efforts of Ontarians to slow the spread is paying off. This is a very positive step forward, but it's not a return to normal yet. Let's keep it up!
McConnell: Biden and Democrats won’t deserve credit for coming recovery. All due to Trump’s delayed, inept response to pandemic.

Big, bold, urgent COVID relief is on the way.
Biden: “Chuck Schumer. Senator Chuck Schumer. When the country needed you most, you led, Chuck."
We delivered big, bold, urgent COVID relief for Americans across this country.
Thank you, President Biden.

“I’ve never seen anyone work as skillfully, as ably, as patiently with determination to deliver such a consequential piece of legislation,” Biden said of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
Thank you, President Biden.
To New Yorkers and to Americans across this country:
More help is on the way. The #AmericanRescuePlan is on the way. Big, bold, urgent COVID relief is on the way.
Dems think "catch & release" at border works. They also think a fisherman doing "catch & release" can just tell the fish to show up at the dock later that afternoon. Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Not if you believe that.
What terrible news. Clyde was a good friend, and a leader who made a huge contribution to his community. Heidi and I are lifting up his family in prayer, may God’s Peace be upon you.
We were so sad to hear yesterday that Clyde Siebman of Sherman passed away at 62 from a heart attack. Clyde was a legend in building the @TexasGOP. He will be greatly missed. #txlege @CatParksTX
Elections matter—and we’re seeing why. Congratulations to the Biden Administration and to the American people on a COVID relief bill that will improve the lives of families across the country.

Senate passes $1.9-trillion COVID-19 economic relief bill
Senate passes $1.9-trillion COVID-19 economic relief bill
The bill, with its $1,400 stimulus checks, could get to President Biden as early as next week, after Senate changes are cleared by the House.

The US Senate passed the #AmericanRescueAct along party lines. However, every American will get some form of relief — from reopening schools, helping small businesses, more vaccines and $1400 to struggling families.
This is a victory for the American ppl, not partisans warfare.
The American Rescue Plan is one of the most popular bills in decades for a reason.
It’s one of the most significant anti-poverty bills in modern American history that will help millions and millions who are struggling just to get by.
This pandemic has upended our society. It has killed more than 520,000 Americans and left millions with lingering health effects. Ten million Americans remain unemployed. This is the kind of situation that demands action from Congress.

The American Rescue Plan is one of the most ambitious pieces of legislation in a generation.
It will materially help families in dire need. It will help end this pandemic. It will cut child poverty in half.
Lots more to do. But let’s celebrate this hard-fought progress.
Americans demanded help, and Democrats promised to get it to them:
For families and people
For those who lost their job through no fault of their own
For food, rent, utilities
For small businesses
For the vaccine
With the #AmericanRescuePlan: More help is on the way.
Senate Democrats made a promise to the American people to deliver the bold COVID relief they need, and we have fulfilled that promise with the #AmericanRescuePlan.

Today, we are beginning to restore faith in our government amongst our people. They are hurting, and we are responding.
Democrats passed a historic relief package to expand vaccines, safely reopen schools, and help families. It’s a powerful bill that will make a real difference. There’s a lot of good stuff in it but I want to highlight two things:
As Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, I am proud that we passed the American Rescue Plan, which, in my view, is the most significant piece of legislation to benefit working families in the modern history of this country.
BREAKING: Senate Democrats just passed the American Rescue Plan and big, bold COVID relief for people across this country.
I want the American people to know that more help is on the way with the American Rescue Plan.
I want the American people to know that we are going to get through this COVID crisis.
To the Senate Floor Staff,
To the Clerks,
To the Cafeteria Workers and Custodial Staff,
To the Capitol Police,
Thank you for working through the night so we could work to pass the American Rescue Plan.
Thank you for all you do.
COVID has affected nearly every aspect of life
And the American Rescue Plan will deliver more help to more people than anything the federal government's done in decades
This bill is broader, deeper, more comprehensive in helping working people and lifting people out of poverty
It has been a long day, a long night, a long year.
But a new day has come.
When Democrats assumed the Senate Majority:
We promised to pass bold COVID relief to help rescue Americans from the depths of this crisis.
In a few moments, we are going to deliver on that promise.
Union leader brags about how they will be able to get school reopening money & still refuse to let your kids go back to school.
Marco Rubio tried to use the #AmericanRescuePlan to force schools to reopen, even if it were unsafe and they weren't ready. Thankfully Dems and @LisaMurkowski voted with some commons sense. https://twitter.com/MonaSalama_/status/1368093688824532995

Senate Democrats now voting to allow people convicted of felony rioting to receive small business loans.
It’s unfair to allow biological men to compete in women’s sports. And COVID funding shouldn’t be used to pay for it. But that is what Democrats just supported.

Tonight Democrats voted to send re-opening money to schools that refuse to re-open.
Not adopted, 48-51: Rubio Amendment #1026 (re: ensure schools must be open 50% of the time for 50% of the students in order to receive funding) in relation to H.R.1319, FY2021 Budget Reconciliation.
At 1:30am Senate now voting on my amendment to give every school district $ to open in person but the more days you open the more $ you get.
Senate Democrats will deliver the American Rescue Plan.
We're united in our belief about how important this bold COVID relief bill is:
For the vaccine
For schools
For small businesses
For families and people
Make no mistake—We will keep working until we get the job done.
These people know how to run the government.

The senator who appears to be single-handedly holding up the COVID relief bill is not talking to reporters about it, MANCHIN telling @tedbarrettcnn: “No comments. No comments, no comments, no comments. Too much good negotiation going on. No comments."
We're preparing to move into Phase Two of our #COVID19 vaccination distribution plan in April.
With over 2M doses to be delivered by the federal government by the end of March, Phase Two will focus on vaccinating populations based on age and risk.
