Pres. Trump was weak in talks with China’s Pres. Xi He sold out for phony promises that China would buy some soybeans in order to help his re-elect But it didn’t work. Farmers are still hurting! This is not what he promised. It's not what farmers want. https://t.co/lUoRixTnL1 — PolitiTweet.org

I want to ask Americans: Who is a better guardian of civil rights when it comes to police reform—Civil Rights Leaders or Senator McConnell? Because 138 civil rights leaders urged the Senate to vote NO on the Senate GOP bill And that’s exactly what we did We need REAL reform https://t.co/ZH9yGDs2Od — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

In the rush to get this issue off of their backs, Senator McConnell and Senate Republicans put forward an inadequate bill today that was designed to fail. Democrats are fighting for bold, comprehensive policing reform bill that will stop police killings of Black Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senate GOP expects you to believe they're the champions of racial justice and police reform But the same Republicans have run a conveyor belt of anti-civil rights judicial nominees—including one today, the same day they tried to move forward their so-called policing reform bill! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

So much of the anger in the country right now is directed at the lack of accountability for police officers who violate Americans’ rights The Republican bill does not even attempt ONE significant reform to bring more accountability to police officers who are guilty of misconduct — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

In response to the brutal killing of George Floyd, the GOP drafted a bill that does not even fully ban the type of tactics that led to his death. In response to the death of Breonna Taylor, the GOP drafted a bill that does not even ban the type of tactics that led to her death. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me get this straight: Cases are spiking across the country. The admin has $14 billion for testing and tracing that they haven’t spent. But President Trump thinks the right move is to pull federal support for testing out of hotspot areas!? https://t.co/hMuR0bwUGA — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Civil rights leaders have spoken. Now is not the time for Republicans' watered down, inadequate bill. Now is time to pass Democrats’ #JusticeInPolicing Act—a comprehensive overhaul of our policing system—and put an end to the killings of Black Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We stand with our postal workers and @APWUnational. It is past time for Senator McConnell and Senate Republicans to put the Heroes Act on the Senate floor to help postal workers and so many other Americans fight this health and economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

To Senate Republicans: Instead of pressing forward with an inadequate bill that’s designed to fail, let's pursue a path that will produce real, meaningful policing reform. We must pass a bill that will stop police killings of Black Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Civil rights groups—the noble guardians of these issues for generations, who want nothing more than to see meaningful legislation—are urging the Senate to reject the Republican proposal. https://t.co/fNDfuVg78O — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Chokeholds aren’t a joking matter. The fact that they’re joking about chokeholds instead of actually banning them shows that the Republicans never took this seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The lawyer for the families of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor believes the Senate Republican bill is completely inadequate, “lip service,” can hardly be thought of as legislation. How does Senator Mitch McConnell respond to that charge? https://t.co/fNDfuVg78O — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Breonna Taylor, a first responder, was asleep in her bed in Louisville, Kentucky when she was killed by police executing a no-knock warrant. But the Senate Republican bill does not ban no-knock warrants. It does not limit no-knock warrants. It only calls for more data. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The Senate GOP bill would not even completely ban the type of brutal tactics that led to George Floyd’s death when a police officer knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Should police officers be held accountable if they violate Americans’ Constitutional rights? The Senate GOP bill is silent. Racial profiling? Independent investigations? Use of force standard? Silent, silent, silent. The Democrats’ #JusticeInPolicing Act achieves REAL reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator McConnell: The Senate GOP bill fails to establish meaningful accountability for police. It is deeply flawed and not salvageable. We need REAL reform. From Senator Booker, Senator Harris, and me: https://t.co/2pxT3mETjz — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is so consumed with his own ego that he’s downplaying the numbers and inventing ridiculous excuses for why COVID-19 has come roaring back in certain areas. It's hard to imagine a more haphazard, less focused, less consistent response from an administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Amid nationwide protests for racial justice: Senator McConnell is pushing Cory Wilson—a judge with a hostile record on voting rights—to serve a lifetime appointment on the federal bench. Disgraceful. We need judges who are committed to protecting Americans' voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a lie. President Trump is spreading conspiracy theories about our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senator McConnell needs to stop the confirmation of Cory Wilson. Wilson once called the concerns of African American citizens and community advocates on the effects of voter ID laws “poppycock”. We need to fight for Americans' voting rights! https://t.co/pvPvkX9MZq — PolitiTweet.org
