These are crucial times during COVID — we rely on mail more than ever. Today I stood with Long Islanders outside USPS’ Melville facility—one of the service's largest hubs—demanding the Trump administration and Congress protect the USPS and its workers. https://t.co/i0B5hKWqFw — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump admin. is defying expert advice & rushing the Census count in the middle of a pandemic. This will NOT lead to a fair, accurate Census. There must be an immediate investigation into whether political pressure from President Trump or his appointees led to this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake: President Trump just told America he plans to defund Social Security — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenGaryPeters: Protect the Postal Service. That’s it. That’s the tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Democrats have made clear we’re ready to work on a comprehensive bill that includes real solutions to help Americans during the COVID crisis. The Trump administration still does not grasp the magnitude of the problems Americans are facing. https://t.co/gc0GMjZbMa — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We all want to see our schools re-open where the data allows it, but they need the resources to ensure that it can be done safely. Democrats are advocating for $175 billion from the federal government to help them open safely, which President Trump opposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans say a tax cut for wealthy investors will help fight the COVID economic crisis, but think $600/week is too much for 30 million unemployed Americans. They simply don’t understand the magnitude of the problems on Main Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The Trump Unemployment Order: —Cuts enhanced benefits in half —Won’t go out for weeks, if at all —Runs out weeks after that What a ruse. The American people need a real solution that offers real help! https://t.co/X2bwiEZfGO — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

At a time when people have to vote by mail in record numbers, the Postmaster General wants to triple the postage cost to vote by mail? What a despicable derogation of democracy. https://t.co/ojTuzjDwLC — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

USPS reportedly told some states that they may now need to pay a first-class rate to ensure on-time delivery—nearly tripling the cost of election mail This would be an outrageous policy that should alarm every American Democrats will fight this with every tool at our disposal — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump: You must restore full funding to all states for their National Guard response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This support is critical within our states to supporting the health and well-being of millions of Americans. From @SenatorLeahy, @SenateDems & me: https://t.co/4njuBzUMvt — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senate GOP delayed for months, failed to come up with a proposal that had the support of their own caucus, then left it for someone else to figure out. Even now, Sen. McConnell has said 20 GOP senators won’t vote for any more COVID relief. Dems won't stop fighting for action. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Rather than trying to break the logjam, President Trump issued a bunch of unworkable, weak executive orders. He slashed enhanced unemployment benefits and his executive order on evictions doesn't even guarantee a moratorium on evictions. Republicans must come back to the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It was all for show. President Trump’s narrow, unworkable and weak executive actions won’t help New Yorkers. https://t.co/eP6TtHdL8t — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's August 10th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump says: “It is what it is.” The president, his aides, his party in Congress aren't even awake to what’s happening in our country That's the reason why Senate Republicans delayed for four long months and that's the reason why we’ve been unable to find an agreement https://t.co/zlto1eUj0G — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Pres. Trump's executive order on evictions doesn't even guarantee a moratorium on evictions, let alone identify specific funds to help people who've fallen behind on rent It’s less of an executive order and more of an "executive suggestion" The American people need real relief! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump's executive order on unemployment benefits is put together in such a sloppy way that it'll take weeks or months for states to even implement. Millions could lose everything before they ever see a check. Republicans must get back to the negotiating table! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump’s executive orders are hardly worth the paper they’re printed on. They leave out funding for: —COVID testing, tracing & treatment —Our schools to safely reopen —Food assistance —State & local governments —Our 2020 elections —Post Office — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Then-Candidate Donald Trump promised that he would never touch Social Security. Well guess what: deferring the payroll tax is a backdoor way of weakening Social Security. The executive order is just another false promise made by Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

More than 160,000 Americans have died from coronavirus. Over 5 MILLION Americans with the virus. President Trump’s answer? Months of delays, downplaying the pandemic and scam executive orders that won’t fix the problems. https://t.co/NkOFO0MdqC — PolitiTweet.org

The statement by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence pulls back the curtain on Putin’s disinformation operations The fact that Pres. Trump & some Senate GOP have echoed this campaign and done nothing to stop it should alarm every American https://t.co/JNOU7u0SBI — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Pres. Trump & The Hill’s tweet left out a very important word: SAFELY. It’s literally the word I said right before this. I've said repeatedly we can only open schools if we do it safely—I've advocated hundreds of millions from the fed govt to open them safely which Trump opposes — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's August 7th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump & Senator McConnell for months have refused to act and downplayed the threat of COVID. Now they seem to be walking away from the table. What will it take for Republicans to take COVID seriously? Democrats will not stop fighting for Americans across this country. https://t.co/PtUGF2Chay — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Today's jobs report shows the economic recovery spurred by the investments Congress passed is losing steam. More investments are urgently needed. Americans are hurting, yet President Trump and GOP appear ready to walk away from the negotiating table. From @SpeakerPelosi & me: https://t.co/dkQwczs2hk — PolitiTweet.org
