@NVEnergy shame on you! When temps are over 100 degrees outside you should not via your ECO program thermostats be raising home temperatures to 82-84 degrees and you are doing it right at dinner time when most people are at home.
Epic reporting on racial divides in unemployment from @readep Black workers in Georgia were twice as likely as whites to be denied STATE #unemployment benefits, but 90% of those denied who reapplied for FEDERAL pandemic aid were approved. https://t.co/JcFWfzQwDK
With unemployment benefits cut off in many states, Americans returned to work. Right? https://t.co/4o6jKyqhfe via @USATODAY @charissejones @mcollinsNEWS
“The hypothesis Republican governors and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce offered, that unemployment benefits were what was holding back hiring ... has been disproved, at least so far,” said @pelhamprog.

@ExtendPua Because they have moved on with new agendas that advance their own personal gain not keeping workers that are unemployed through no fault of their own in their homes, food on their table, keeping their cars on the road, and phones and internet to be ready to work @unemployedact
@pelhamprog Those of us deeply enmeshed in this debacle are living in uncertainty. How do we extend this message? Millions are now in limbo ever closer to the grim reality we tired for the past year and a half so desperately to avoid. Our Legislators turned their backs @unemployedact
So honored to join my friends @RebeccaDNELP of @NelpNews and @Stephpf of @ExtendPua on the @offkiltershow to reflect on the racialized failure of the UI safety net, organizing the unemployed to #ExtendUi and how to #FixUI for good
The sad news is too many to count while they furloughed then brought employees at reduced rates, furloughed them again to then ultimately lay these workers off that stood by them through the challenges. Where is that story in the News? Are these actions acceptable?@unemployedact
And offer them 8 hours of work a week. NO ONE can live on that. But yet this is the reality we face and then are maligned as lazy by Legislators and in the Press. This narrative must change, help is needed now and into the future this must happen ASAP @unemployedact
@GovSisolak there is no more acting that the unemployed situation is not dire in NV take a look at these numbers https://t.co/Iklc88BAcM Want to be re-elected? More than a third of the population is still without work if you think inaction will get you re-elected think again.
@pelhamprog@hboushey46 Stopping expanded UI and PUA now at this time will result in unnecessary devastation for individuals, their communities, states and the country at large. Restoring these programs will help in the short term but Fixing UI overall is urgently needed in the long term @unemployedact
New from @USDOL 9.3 million claims for pandemic #unemployment benefits as of 8.28–which came to a screeching halt on Labor Day. Kudos to @AOC for hearing the cries for support from jobless workers in #newyork and across the country and introducing a bill to #ExtendUI
@POTUS What exactly are you trying to say here? If you are saying you are going to form an entity like the WPA focused of climate change initiatives THIS would be brilliant. A program like this at this time would provide aid to two areas in serious need. This is in win for all.
Yes, we face a crisis with climate change. But we also face an unprecedented opportunity.
To create the good-paying, union jobs of the future. To create the industries of the future. To win the future. And to save the planet.
We can do this.
We again spotlight the big corporations story and not that of the working class. Who are unemployed through no fault of their own We want to work but are depicted as lazy in the Press. We are scrambling to live many now in a death spiral due to cut offs Was this necessary?@POTUS
@POTUS reread that statement “at their moment of greatest need” Not all jobs are back and the ones that are many are limited hours, or lower rates, or require you to sign Covid liability waivers Are these good jobs? With Delta surging employers are holding back on hiring -reality

You also need to finish the job of protecting unemployed Americans from destitution. Hold true to your campaign promises. #fixUI and #extendPUA support @AOC’s efforts to not abandon millions in their moment of greatest need.
McConnell and crew, have been hell bent on destroying the working class. What happens when they succeed? Who serves whom? The workers are the backbone of this country we need to survive we need support we the correct story told and supported @unemployedact@POTUS@SenSchumer
The Republican leader in the Senate wants to make sure everyone understands: defaulting on our debt would be an economic nightmare that cannot happen - and he will do everything he can to make sure that's exactly what happens.
Unless you have been unemployed for the last year and a half you have no idea of the emotional roller coaster it’s been. Not all industries are back the cut offs create financial & emotional instability for millions
“During recessions, our benefits should last until the economy has fully recovered,” Unemployed Action leader @ClausNate said. “Senator Schumer must seize this opportunity to ensure UI helps every New Yorker.” #FixUI#ExtendUI
