How about instead of shielding corporations from liability, we shield renters from eviction? How about instead of shielding corporations from liability, we shield the unemployed from poverty? Senate Republicans can’t even get their act together to provide Americans basic relief — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The likely centerpiece of the Republican COVID proposal is not aid for the over 20M unemployed Americans. It's corporate immunity to protect big companies from lawsuits. Once again, Senate Republicans would rather provide relief to big corporations than to workers & families. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The Trump White House and Senate Republicans reportedly want to extend enhanced unemployment benefits, but only provide 70% of a worker’s former wage. That’s right, America. If you’ve lost your job through no fault of your own, Republicans want you to take a 30% pay cut. https://t.co/uQbruuVFP6 — PolitiTweet.org

From what we know, the GOP COVID relief proposal won’t include: Food assistance for hungry kids Rental assistance Hazard pay for essential workers New funding for state and local governments Investments in communities of color It won't get the job done. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud I fought to make sure the Senate passed my amendment to invest in our semiconductor industry and create jobs across New York and the country. https://t.co/WsyPWuVJag — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Make no mistake: Frontline workers still do not have the PPE and testing supplies they need because President Trump failed to fully invoke the DPA. I just took to the Senate floor with Senator Baldwin and Senator Murphy to demand this change. But Senate Republicans objected. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The House just passed the historic #NoBanAct to overturn President Trump’s Muslim Ban and Africa Ban. We need to pass it in the Senate to reunite millions of American families, allow more doctors to fight COVID-19, and reject President Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

In 103 days, our nation will seek to hold an election in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Democrats are insisting on providing states the resources to carry out our elections fairly, safely, and efficiently. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re in a national crisis. The disarray on the Republican side has real consequences. Americans will suffer unnecessary pain and uncertainty because of it. https://t.co/6eYDWZdwWT — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's July 22nd, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Here’s what I just told the Senate Rules Committee: Members from both sides of the aisle have released statements honoring the life of John Lewis. We need to honor John Lewis by ensuring every eligible American can vote fairly, safely, and efficiently in November. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We’re six months into the COVID pandemic, but President Trump said yesterday that his administration is “in the process of developing a strategy". Six. Months. Into. The. COVID. Pandemic. Unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Because the Senate GOP refuses to act: Eviction protections are set to expire IN TWO DAYS I’m standing with @SenWarren, @SenSherrodBrown, & @ChrisVanHollen to demand we extend these protections now to make sure workers, families, people are able to keep a roof over their heads — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's remarkable that President Trump has lowered the bar so much that his performance yesterday was seen as a change in tone. That one day of his reading COVID statistics is hailed as leadership. The truth is, every time he takes the podium, he is a risk to public health. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We're demanding in the next relief bill that COVID data is fully transparent and accessible, without any interference from the Trump admin. Our efforts to bolster the economy and help the unemployed will be squandered if we don’t actually stop the spread of COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The moratorium on evictions expires in two days. Enhanced unemployment benefits will expire next week. Over 20 million Americans are still without work. We don’t have time for this mess the Republicans are in. We must act on the House-passed HEROES Act now! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

This isn’t the typical Republican dysfunction about whether or not they did or didn’t see President Trump's tweet. This GOP disarray has real consequences for Americans. The only reason there hasn’t been another COVID relief package is because of this GOP incompetence. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator Mitch McConnell and the GOP have blocked action on coronavirus for THREE MONTHS. And now, Republicans are still in total disarray. https://t.co/3g9DUyEJ9j — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Republicans are disarray. President Trump and the Senate GOP still have no plan. And what they are working on reportedly helps corporate special interests before workers, families, and people. But House Democrats passed the HEROES Act over 2 months ago! It's past time to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Faced with the biggest health crisis in 100 years and the biggest economic crisis in 75 years Senator Mitch McConnell has put the Senate on pause for THREE MONTHS. https://t.co/CTspOPbQqw — PolitiTweet.org

This heartless order will only stoke fear and deprive already underfunded communities across America of much-needed federal resources across all of government, including education, transportation, infrastructure, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

This order isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. It will be struck down by the courts. Attempting to weaponize the Census for political gain is yet another racially driven attack by a president who wrongly views immigrants as the enemy, when they're a vital part of our society. — PolitiTweet.org

It's July 21st, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump can't even model good behavior and consistently encourage Americans to wear a mask. Every time he takes the podium, he’s a threat to public health. We are living through one the greatest failures of presidential leadership in our country’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

For over two months, Senate Democrats have been demanding action on the House-passed HEROES Act that will put workers and small businesses before corporate special interests If Republicans want to play chicken with COVID relief, they'll have to explain why to the American people — PolitiTweet.org
