It's the first of the month Families are afraid of water or energy being shut off because they can't afford their utility bill This is devastating under any circumstances, but especially now Utilities across the country should suspend shutoffs for the duration of this crisis — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The SBA needs to review PPP loans to Ashford, Inc. and its subsidiaries NOW! This is a big, publicly traded company—not a small business struggling with this crisis. Real small businesses need help! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Families are hurting Undocumented immigrants & their families are especially vulnerable So are US citizens married to them who aren't eligible for stimulus payments—and think of their kids We're fighting this. GOP is discriminating against taxpayers because of who they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senate Republicans should be laser focused on the health and economic crises caused by COVID-19, not confirming right-wing judges or protecting big business from legal liability. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senate Republicans are following @SenateDems' calls and considering scheduling some oversight hearings with Dr. Birx, Dr. Fauci, Secretary Mnuchin, and Federal Reserve Chair Powell. But it’s shameful these hearings won’t happen until mid-May at the earliest. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Americans deserve to immediately hear from top Trump admin officials on why we don’t have enough tests, why small biz's are having trouble accessing SBA help, why unemployment insurance checks are failing to get to workers, how to protect frontline workers with needed equipment. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's May 1st, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

To the SBA: We need the SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan and grant programs to re-open NOW. Our small businesses are hurting, and they cannot keep waiting! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I’m glad to see President Trump is watching Stephen Colbert. Maybe he’ll learn something. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It was President Trump and Senator McConnell who raised taxes on the middle class in New York by raising SALT taxes in their tax scam giveaway for corporations and the wealthiest few. I fought this. I’m still fighting it. President Trump imposed this. More desperate Trump lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump: Nearly 2 months ago, you told Americans: “Anybody that wants a test can get a test.” But it’s May 1, and you still don’t have enough tests or an adequate national testing strategy. Americans are sick and dying. What are you waiting for!? — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I told @StephenAtHome that now is not the time to go licking doorknobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Now that Senator McConnell's decided the Senate will reconvene next week, we should be focusing on issues like oversight to provide families answers and solutions, and providing communities of color better access to health coverage NOT confirming unqualified, right-wing judges — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

For Republicans, there’s always enough money to bail out their corporate donors but not enough for helping working Americans and state and local governments. https://t.co/x7SGLd6CZU — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Thank you to everyone in @USNationalGuard working so hard for New York and our country! Today, I spoke with General Lengyel, @ChiefNGB. I urged him to ensure our Guard members—like all frontline health workers—have access to mental health resources and support during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Pres. Trump's rushing to bail out big oil after its CEOs donated millions to his campaign—while Main Street businesses are still waiting for help Outrageous—Small biz's are fighting for limited funds while the Trump admin showers big oil with taxpayer $$ https://t.co/x7SGLd6CZU — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

There still aren’t enough tests Healthcare workers still don’t have the PPE they need We need aggressive oversight of the Trump admin’s coronavirus response Republicans should be focused on fighting for Americans in this pandemic, not confirming unqualified, right-wing judges https://t.co/0rHH31TLT8 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We will keep fighting to ensure communities of color have access to quality, affordable health coverage equitable access to testing a Heroes Fund to provide frontline workers with premium pay and protections that minority-owned businesses aren't shut out of PPP and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's April 30th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We must do more to help communities of color NOW. COVID-19 has heightened health care and economic disparities that they have been forced to endure for generations. The stats are appalling. We'll keep fighting for the health care and support they need. https://t.co/Svek32lXkX — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We’ve heard from frontline workers what they need is testing, PPE, medical supplies Unacceptable that the Trump admin's failed leadership has left our heroes without basic supplies The bill we announced today pressures Pres. Trump to FINALLY fully invoke the DPA for this effort — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The only way we get our economy back up and running is by addressing the health crisis But President Trump's had scattershot focus. He's failed to effectively marshal the full power of our government. He needs to FINALLY fully invoke the DPA for testing, PPE, & medical supplies — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It's April 29th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump is taking away funds meant to deter Putin!? For an unnecessary, expensive wall that he said Mexico would pay for? He must FOCUS on using the full authority of the Defense Production Act to get testing and needed medical supplies to frontline workers NOW! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The most amazing and confounding thing: President Trump announced he’s using DPA for meatpacking plants, but he still hasn’t fully invoked the DPA for COVID-19 testing. Why? We're not going to be able to open our food facilities and so many other things safely without testing! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The American people are demanding answers and solutions. Sen. McConnell should focus the Senate’s work on the crises caused by COVID-19—not right-wing judges or fulfilling his “pre-existing partisan wish-list” of protecting big business from any harm done to the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

When Senate returns next week, Dems demand tough oversight of the Trump admin’s dreadful response to coronavirus, with Trump officials answering tough questions on why we don't have adequate testing, what is being done for workers & people, where the small business money is going — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

GDP had its biggest drop since Great Recession We surpassed 1M positive COVID-19 cases We don’t have adequate testing But a Trump official calls their response “a great success story” And Sen. McConnell only seems interested in unqualified, right-wing judges & protecting CEOs — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump’s failed leadership has left our frontline healthcare workers without needed PPE, testing, & medical equipment BIG—We’re announcing the Medical Supply Transparency & Delivery Act to force him to use the full authority of the Defense Production Act for this effort — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The red line for Sen. Mitch McConnell and Republicans in the next emergency relief package isn’t saving small businesses, rescuing hospitals, increasing testing, or helping families. It’s protecting corporations that put frontline workers in harm’s way. How does that make sense? — PolitiTweet.org
