I support the bill before us today, but we all know it is not enough. Much more must be done. In the next comprehensive aid package, we must put people first. But something also must be done about the horrific Federal response to testing. FEMA and the Trump administration have been nonexistent in getting States like Wisconsin the test kits, reagents, and PPE we need to reopen. If the President forces us to open too soon, more people will get sick and die, and the economy will suffer, and that will be on the President's hands. This isn't a reality show. American lives are at stake. Get us our supplies now.
