We pushed the Trump administration to make this move. This means that low-income veterans receiving VA benefits will automatically receive their stimulus payments, without requiring them to file with the IRS. — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump needs to get testing under control NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Incredible story from the Marines fighting for New Yorkers on the USNS Comfort. They sprinted down the NYC pier to deliver oxygen—saving a patient's life. So grateful to these service members, medical workers, and all frontline workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Senate Democrats are fighting for the nail salons, the barbershops, the delis. Why are Senator McConnell and Republicans only trying to help bigger businesses that already have connections to bigger banks? https://t.co/0ETwtIxAoh — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenTinaSmith: This shouldn’t need clarification, yet it bears repeating for the Trump Admin: Congress fought for $8 billion to help Tri… — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We need a strong testing regime NOW Democrats are fighting for our $30 billion plan for a comprehensive national testing strategy and major new investments to bolster the supply & manufacturing chain, and significantly expand free testing for all, reporting, and contact tracing — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

This is big: Democrats are laying out our $30 billion plan for a comprehensive national testing strategy and major new investments that bolster the supply and manufacturing chain, and significantly expand free testing for all, reporting, and contact tracing. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump: Governor Whitmer of Michigan Governor Evers of Wisconsin Governor Wolf of Pennsylvania They are telling you they need more funding. State and local governments and territories need the help, and they need it now. Listen to them. https://t.co/W8OFdwkibe — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Democrats will not stop fighting for money for small businesses, and hospitals and healthcare providers, and testing, and our state and local governments, and more to help fight coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump: You must make sure testing kits are available across the country RIGHT NOW so we can beat this pandemic and help those affected. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

These are the nurses, doctors, EMTs, and more on the frontlines fighting coronavirus. Democrats are working hard to ensure hospitals and healthcare providers have the resources they need to save lives. Senator McConnell’s plan doesn’t give them a dime. https://t.co/0L6MUnnVVu — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

So many Americans are placing themselves in danger to work through this pandemic: Doctors, nurses, truck drivers, grocers, police, firefighters, & more They should be rewarded with premium pay Democrats are proposing a “Heroes Fund” to give it to them https://t.co/oIoH8vPTx3 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We will not stop fighting to make sure that hospitals and healthcare providers get the help they need That means supporting DOCTORS and NURSES and MEDICAL WORKERS and ESSENTIAL WORKERS And that means TESTING and VENTILATORS and PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT and MASKS and MORE — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Pres. Trump’s @ASIndianAffairs Tara Sweeney is diverting funds for tribal governments during coronavirus to for-profit Alaska Native Corporations. We can't put these corporations before tribal governments & people. Sweeney used to be an exec for an ANC, and she wants to profit! — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Democrats are fighting for funding for state and local governments. Because they’re facing choices like laying off TEACHERS and POLICE and FIREFIGHTERS and MORE. They need help. And fast. https://t.co/naQIwVKNDX — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Our small biz programs need more money now We all agree But Dems actually want to get it into the hands of all who need it That's not what's happening when websites are crashing, mom & pop shops and minority businesses are shut out, bigger banks are loaning to fav customers — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Testing's the best tool we have to contain the virus today, to know who's infected or exposed, when to open our economy If Pres. Trump tries to bully states to reopen prematurely or without appropriate testing in place—he'd risk undoing progress we’ve made with social distancing — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We need to have testing kits across America so that we can beat this pandemic. We need to track results in real-time to quickly spot flare-ups. We need a dedicated, domestic supply chain to produce millions of tests and ensure they are readily available in every community. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Democrats are presenting an ACCURATE picture of the challenges our country is facing with testing—not issuing false and misleading claims like President Trump This isn’t the Chinese Communist Party. This is America. We need our government to be truthful. https://t.co/PwRYboK1fT — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

A Jackie Robinson Day without baseball might feel wrong. But if a “life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives” then Jackie’s great example is all around us in our heroic doctors, nurses, medical workers, and all frontline workers. Today, we cheer for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We fought to make sure Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients would automatically receive stimulus payments without requiring them to file with the IRS. Now Treasury needs to quickly do the same for low-income veterans receiving VA benefits. https://t.co/GC7yLBiPFq — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We have testing shortages in communities in New York and nationwide. There's a shortage of essential supplies. And too often this shortage is even more severe in communities of color. Democrats are fighting for a national plan to increase testing and make it broadly available. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

An incredible story: John Scalia is offering to bury New Yorkers who don't have the means to pay for a funeral It's exactly why @RepAOC and I are calling for FEMA to approve our request to help NY families with funeral and burial costs they can't afford https://t.co/2vI2lg0ra8 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

On March 6, Pres. Trump said: "Anybody that needs a test gets a test." He was wrong. A month later, our testing capability is still woefully inadequate to know where the virus is spreading—much less stop it or reopen our economy. We must ramp up testing NOW on a broader scale. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

BREAKING: Democrats are laying out our $30 billion plan for a comprehensive national testing strategy and major new investments that bolster the supply and manufacturing chain, and significantly expand free testing for all, reporting, and contact tracing. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Our state and local governments need help immediately. Too many are facing choices like budget cuts and layoffs due to coronavirus. Democrats will not stop fighting to make sure they get the help they need fast. https://t.co/naQIwW2ovv — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

While the administration’s testing regime is at best incomplete and at worst a shambles: President Trump is busy attacking the World Health Organization and everyone else under the sun. The country needs leadership now. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

To President Trump: You need to get coronavirus testing under control. Now. Immediately. Democrats fought for free coronavirus testing. And we won’t stop fighting to ensure that Americans are getting tested so we can beat this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud we fought to save millions of jobs for aviation workers I’m proud we fought alongside aviation unions, @WeAreALPA, @TTDAFLCIO, @TransportWorker, @MachinistsUnion, @FlyingWithSara & @AFA_CWA, & more This will help our airline attendants, pilots, ground workers, & more — PolitiTweet.org
