As the state of Mississippi decided to take down the Confederate flag, Pres. Trump threatened to veto the NDAA in the name of protecting the Confederacy Pres. Trump seems more concerned with protecting the names of dead Confederate generals than helping living American citizens — PolitiTweet.org

700,000 people live and work in D.C. 46% of them are Black. Many of them work here, in the Capitol, providing essential services to some GOP senators who don’t consider them “real people.” Senate Republicans: Stop denigrating American citizens. #DCStatehood NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Our Armed Forces would be better served if President Trump spent more time reading his daily briefing and less time planning military parades and defending relics of the Confederacy. My statement with @SpeakerPelosi: https://t.co/MSXhCV8kW2 — PolitiTweet.org

These reports are coming to light in the context of President Trump being soft on Vladimir Putin when it comes to NATO, the G7, Crimea, Ukraine, and the ongoing undermining of the integrity of our elections. From @SpeakerPelosi and me: https://t.co/X5fnvoqN5c — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what Senate Republicans have blocked this week: Rental assistance: BLOCKED Food assistance: BLOCKED Resources for schools and nursing homes: BLOCKED Resources for state and local governments and tribes: BLOCKED Resources for elections: BLOCKED — PolitiTweet.org

Force protection is a primary purpose of intelligence. It should have the same importance to the Commander-in-Chief. Any reports of threats on our troops must be pursued relentlessly. From @SpeakerPelosi and me after the briefing this morning: https://t.co/h0J3xH5wdy — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump's own CDC director says the number of COVID-19 cases may be 10x higher than reported. But President Trump still somehow assumes this will just take care of itself!? https://t.co/uHyyuBnTC6 — PolitiTweet.org

Coronavirus cases are at record highs and more than 17 million Americans are unemployed. What’s President Trump’s reaction? A victory lap. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Over 17M are still unemployed Unemployment for black men rose to 16% The gap between black & white unemployment grew to 5.3% Permanent job losses rose by 588K State & local govt jobs are still down 1.5M since Feb This jobs report shows why Pres. Trump & Senate GOP must act NOW — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump must not repeat the same mistakes with this economic crisis that he made initially with COVID-19—ignoring it and brushing it aside now will only ensure that things will get worse once again. https://t.co/VlSBfDavHK — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Today’s jobs report may just be a slight peak in a much larger valley, and unless Pres. Trump demonstrates real leadership and the Senate GOP get off their hands and work with Democrats to provide additional federal fiscal relief, the pain America is experiencing will only worsen https://t.co/1yPGurt4VU — PolitiTweet.org

The first of month means rent is due for millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet amid COVID-19 I just took to the floor with @SenSherrodBrown to demand we pass our bill that helps ensure families can stay in their homes But Senate GOP blocked it #RentReliefNow — PolitiTweet.org

Assemblyman Gantt’s lifelong work to raise social and economic opportunity for those he served and countless others throughout Greater Rochester leaves a lasting legacy. He fought injustice, gave voice to the voiceless, and inspired a generation of leaders. I’ll miss my friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Enhanced unemployment benefits are set to expire in 31 days. But this crisis will not. Here’s how @RonWyden and I are proposing to extend them for as long as this crisis continues: The American Workforce Rescue Act. #DemsDemandAction https://t.co/WfyAncUghC — PolitiTweet.org

I took to the floor with @SenateDems last night to demand that we extend PPP so that small businesses can continue to get the help they need. It passed the Senate. And I’m proud it just passed the House too. President Trump: Sign the bill NOW! #DemsDemandAction — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

To the Senate GOP: After your fancy dinner with big oil lobbyists, Why don’t you take a walk in some DC neighborhoods and ask hardworking families if they're ‘real people’? Despicable. #DCStatehood NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

What GOP Senators Daines, Cotton, Graham said about DC residents was despicable Daines said lawmakers should "go out to where the real people are at across the country and ask them where they think" It's a dehumanizing statement on 700,000 hardworking people in DC #DCStatehood — PolitiTweet.org

I took to the floor with @SenatorDurbin to demand that the Senate pass the American Dream and Promise Act, #HR6. We need to fight for our Dreamers. So many of them are on the frontlines of this crisis fighting for us! But Senate Republicans just blocked it. — PolitiTweet.org

July 1st means rent is due for millions of Americans who've lost their jobs We're going to demand the Senate pass help for renters to ensure that they can stay in their homes Will Senate Republicans agree, or risk leaving millions of renters out in the cold? #DemsDemandAction — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I dare President Trump to veto this vital bill that contains a pay increase for our troops in the name of protecting the Confederacy. The amendment is in the bill, it’s bipartisan, and it will stay in the bill. President Trump: If you want to veto this legislation, make our day. — PolitiTweet.org
