Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We all want our schools to reopen But if we want to keep our students and teachers safe, we need MORE federal funding To the Senate GOP: No more delay We must pass the $430 billion that @PattyMurray and I are fighting for to address the national child care and education crises — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It was reported the Trump admin wants to block tens of billions of dollars in the next COVID bill for states for testing and contact tracing. Can you imagine? Republicans are arguing about whether to block funding for the two most important things we can do to combat COVID now. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The moratorium on evictions expires this week. But according to reports, the Republican COVID bill won’t do anything for the millions of Americans who can’t afford the rent and could get kicked out of their apartment. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Enhanced unemployment benefits will expire at the end of the month. But according to reports, the Republican COVID proposal bill will not do nearly enough to aid the 20 to 30 million Americans currently unemployed. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The GOP COVID proposal will reportedly prioritize corporate special interests over workers, families, people It won’t provide hazard pay for essential workers or new funding to state, local, & tribal govts or enough investments in communities of color It won't get the job done — PolitiTweet.org

DOD’s 1033 program is one of the main ways local police departments are getting their hands on weapons of war—grenades, tear gas, armored vehicles, and other military-grade weapons. I support Senator Schatz’s amendment that we’re voting on today to #DemilitarizeThePolice. — PolitiTweet.org

When the White House coronavirus briefings resume, President Trump should not take the podium. Every time he takes the podium he’s a threat to public health. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's July 20th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator McConnell: We cannot keep waiting. We need to act now, for people, for families, for workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Fort Henry Johnson has a nice ring to it. Albany’s Sergeant Henry Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2015. A member of a WWI all-Black infantry group, he singlehandedly repelled a group of German soldiers to save a fellow soldier from capture. https://t.co/NefukTOY0T — PolitiTweet.org

This Colombian Independence Day, I’m thinking about this picture from last year’s parade in Queens Because even if we can’t march together today, I’m celebrating the strength of Colombian Americans I can’t wait to march together again next year, God willing ¡Que viva Colombia! https://t.co/bbumkpXMKe — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator McConnell has said he’s writing the next COVID bill behind the closed doors of his office. That's a failed approach. We must act on the House-passed HEROES Act that will put workers and small businesses before corporate special interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Enhanced unemployment benefits expire at the end of the month. Protections against evictions expire this week. Schools are preparing for the fall without necessary guidance and resources to open safely. Senator Mitch McConnell: We need to act NOW to fight this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We need to honor John Lewis by bringing the bill to restore the Voting Rights Act to the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I’m so proud to stand across from Trump International Hotel in New York City with @32BJSEIU to rally with essential workers to support Black lives and to demand that the Senate pass the HEROES Act to fight for racial and economic justice for Americans in this crisis. https://t.co/ubVwDtnfrg — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We will NOT stop working for and demanding action on policing reform in the Senate. I’m proud to stand at the children’s rally marching for justice in Mount Vernon, New York. Because #BlackLivesMatter. https://t.co/iNwgkrylXg — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator McConnell is writing a COVID bill that will prioritize corporate special interests over workers and main street businesses, and will fail to adequately address the worsening spread of COVID. Workers and families and people—not special interests—must be our main focus. https://t.co/VzdFE93hTA — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It has been over three months since Senate Republicans have considered major COVID-relief legislation while Americans face this public health and economic crisis. https://t.co/NSlJgoiebp — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump just keeps promising that he’ll come out with a healthcare plan. It’s a lie. He’s suing to tear apart our healthcare law and end protections for pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to honor John Lewis by bringing the bill to restore the Voting Rights Act to the Senate floor. Otherwise paying lip service to his legacy is just words. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I support Sen Merkley's proposed bill to deal with the despicable federal actions in Portland by 1—Requiring fed agents to ID 2—Prohibiting fed misuse of unmarked vehicles 3—Prohibiting fed agents in crowd control outside of fed property without the invitation of local officials — PolitiTweet.org

There are very few people who you can say truly changed the world for the better. John Lewis is certainly at the top of that list. From risking his life in Selma to remaining the ‘Conscience of Congress’ in the House, he devoted his life to fighting for equality and civil rights — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

From his very early days, John Lewis was a man on a mission, who treated every person he met with kindness and grace Who forcefully, but gently, led us all to do more and do better As we mourn this loss—we must also celebrate the monumental contributions of a true American hero — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

From marching in Selma to serving in the House, Representative John Lewis spent his life fighting for civil rights for every single American. He is an American hero and a giant. And we are all better for the "good trouble" he made. Rest in peace, John. — PolitiTweet.org
