We are fighting to make sure that Americans can vote safely and confidently, in person and by mail, especially In the middle of a pandemic. Funding for state elections systems and the post office shouldn’t be a partisan issue. This is about our democracy! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We all want to see our schools re-open. But if we want to keep our students and teachers safe, we need MORE federal funding for EVERY school. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator McConnell is busy giving partisan speeches, while @SpeakerPelosi and I are busy fighting to come to an agreement to actually help Americans across the country. We must act NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

One year ago in El Paso, 23 people were killed and 22 wounded in the deadliest attack against the Latino community in recent US history. We must honor them with action. It's long past time for a Senate vote on the House-passed bipartisan universal background checks bill #HR8. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

RT @RonWyden: .@SenSchumer and I have a bill to do exactly this. Senate Republicans are blocking it. — PolitiTweet.org

A US company should buy TikTok so everyone can keep using it and your data is safe. This is about privacy. With TikTok in China, it’s subject to Chinese Communist Party laws that may require handing over data to their government. A safe way must be found for TikTok to continue. — PolitiTweet.org

It's August 2nd, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

This was two weeks ago. He lied. President Trump and the Republicans are suing to rip away health care from millions. — PolitiTweet.org

Medicaid began 55 years ago today, and for decades has ensured that tens of millions of Americans have health care. During this crisis, when so many Americans are relying on it, we are fighting to give Medicaid the resources it needs in the next COVID-19 relief bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

To everyone in New York, across the country, and around the world observing Eid al-Adha: May this be a safe and joyous occasion for renewal, reflection, and celebration. Eid Mubarak! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I asked the Senate to hold a moment of silence for the 150,000 Americans we've lost to COVID A national tragedy—and we haven't been able to mourn properly as COVID keeps us apart even in death I’m praying for everyone we’ve lost & their families. We will keep fighting for them. https://t.co/FKA88zSUYD — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Pres. Trump has called the GOP COVID proposal “semi-irrelevant” and seems to endorse a different policy every time he finds a microphone The one thing we’re sure he supports is a new FBI building to boost the value of his hotel We will not stop fighting for people and families — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Sen. McConnell isn’t even in our negotiations with the White House because Senate Republicans don’t have a unified position on anything. The main thing we hear is that he’d torpedo relief for Americans unless there's a giant corporate immunity provision attached. Unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Millions of newly unemployed Americans cannot go back to work, cannot afford the rent, cannot put food on the table. Democrats will not stop fighting for the unemployed, Medicaid, safe nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, hungry kids, renters, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Today, we learned that the most recent quarter was the worst on record for our economy. Last night, Sen. McConnell confirmed that 20 Republican Senators don't want to do anything more to fight this crisis. We won't stop fighting until Americans get the relief they deserve! https://t.co/156znFd1kZ — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I just took to the Senate floor to demand we pass the House-passed, bipartisan HEROES Act. It fights for hazard pay for essential workers, state and local govts, our schools, testing and tracing, the unemployed, Medicaid, elections, renters, and more. But Senate GOP blocked it. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The GOP is fighting for large agribusinesses, defense contractors, the Trump family. Dems are fighting for the unemployed, Medicaid, safe nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, hungry kids, renters, industries like clean energy that've lost half a million jobs since March. https://t.co/n9KkAO0h0j — PolitiTweet.org

“I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me.” John Lewis never stopped marching. And today, young people nationwide are rising up to march for justice and equality. His memory and legacy lives on in every one of them. https://t.co/yWtqiKkzWg — PolitiTweet.org

150,000 Americans have died from COVID-19. But President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. And Senate Republicans have spent months dithering while Democrats have been fighting for action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitch McConnell: Americans on the brink of eviction are not crying out for a sweeping corporate liability shield. We need to focus on the needs of the American people. The Republican COVID proposal is not even a useful starting point. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It seems Pres. Trump will stop at nothing to advance his anti-immigrant agenda And Senate GOP again objected to Sen. Durbin demanding we pass the American Dream & Promise Act and create a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients We'll fight to protect the immigrant community — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

So, Senator McConnell: Why'd you keep telling Americans they needed to pause for 98 DAYS while they were suffering? And why are you holding up help for people now to make sure you can give corporations immunity if they expose their workers or customers to COVID? — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The Republican COVID proposal has no support for Medicaid, nursing homes, or those with disabilities. Their proposal does not meet America’s testing needs. This is not a serious proposal for the country in the midst of a once-in-a-generation crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senate GOP wants nearly $2B for a new FBI building whose location will increase the value of the Trump hotel across the street—but NO funding for state & local govts Thats what theyre doing instead of fighting for jobs for teachers, firefighters, bus drivers, health care workers — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The Supreme Court couldn't have been clearer when it rejected President Trump’s hard-hearted DACA repeal Yet he continues to openly defy the law by undermining the program and putting thousands of new eligible young immigrant applicants at risk of deportation We will fight this — PolitiTweet.org
