I’m so proud of @Tunnel2Towers for supporting our healthcare workers. It’s another example of New Yorkers standing together in this fight. And it honors the legacy of 9/11 FDNY hero Stephen Siller, whose sacrifice inspired @Tunnel2Towers. https://t.co/NaIxvVCMwX — PolitiTweet.org

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear masks and scrubs. These Americans are the true heroes of this pandemic, and we need to make sure they are taken care of. That’s why Senate Democrats are fighting for a Heroes Fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Captain Crozier spoke up to protect his crew Acting Navy Secretary Modly’s words and actions were insulting to those under his responsibility—It’s good he resigned We will continue to fight the Trump admin’s ongoing attacks on those who speak the truth https://t.co/FQMbfyk1a5 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

To Secretary of Labor @SecGeneScalia: The Department of Labor needs to do everything in its power to help states distribute the Unemployment Benefits that Senate Democrats fought for. Americans who have lost their jobs don’t have time to wait for a check. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Pres. Trump’s corrupt action to sideline Acting Inspector General Glenn Fine—who was newly-appointed as chair of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee—only strengthens our resolve to hold the admin accountable and enforce the strict oversight provisions of the CARES Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump is abusing the coronavirus pandemic to eliminate honest and independent public servants because they are willing to speak truth to power and because he is so clearly afraid of strong oversight. https://t.co/eWtMGZEgk9 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

A Heroes Fund for essential workers should be a part of the next phase of the Congressional response to coronavirus. No proposal will be complete without addressing the needs of our doctors, nurses, medical workers, truck drivers, grocers, transit workers, and more. Our Heroes. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Doctors, nurses, and essential workers are putting their lives on the line every single day of this fight @SenateDems are proposing a bold, new program to boost premium pay for America’s frontline workers We’re calling it a “Heroes Fund” because that’s who it’s for: Our Heroes — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I’ve been urging President Trump to pick ONE PERSON, a senior military officer, to lead both production and distribution of critical medical supplies. When he was just asked who that person was today? He said many people were in charge. That’s the point. We need one. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

If President Trump is saying that America’s governors are telling him he’s doing a good job, he should read the front page of the New York Times this morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump: If things are going so well with the distribution of critical medical supplies, why are there complaints from one end of America to the other? — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

BREAKING: I'll appoint Bharat Ramamurti to the Congressional Oversight Commission. He served with @SenWarren on banking and economic policy. He's shown he knows how to fight for the American people to hold corporations and the Trump admin accountable. https://t.co/WnvywdVgIL — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

If you’re a gig worker, a part-time worker, self-employed, or a freelancer, I want you to know that you are covered by the new coronavirus response bill. Because Senate Democrats fought to increase and expand unemployment insurance. WATCH: https://t.co/IXSxZ2Risz — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Lives are at risk. Medical workers don’t have critical supplies or hazard pay. Unemployment is soaring. But the Trump administration wants to deliver huge tax cuts to the wealthiest few? That’s ridiculous. Absolutely not. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Last night, I spoke with the WH Chief of Staff I urged him to have Pres. Trump appoint a senior military officer to lead gov-wide production & distribution of critical medical supplies Lives are at stake I suggested: Gen. Paul Selva Adm Sandy Winnefeld Vice Adm Mark Harnitchek — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump hates when people say what he doesn’t want to hear: The truth. Our country is a better place because of patriots like Michael Atkinson. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Inspector General Michael Atkinson told me in a letter in March that it was a “a searing time for whistleblowers.” In America, patriots speak truth to power. President Trump has turned that inside out. When you tell the truth, he fires you. https://t.co/0C7MiyXJqj — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Thanks for having me on, @Alyssa_Milano! Senate Democrats fought for the coronavirus response bill to help people and families and our health care system. Listen: — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Lives are at stake nationwide. We cannot rely on a patchwork of uncoordinated voluntary efforts for critical medical supplies. I will keep urging Pres. Trump to appoint a senior military officer with a background in logistics to lead government-wide production and distribution. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

President Trump could sign an executive order TODAY giving hazard pay to our frontline federal workers hazard pay. These are brave people on the frontlines of this fight. If he doesn’t, we’ll do everything we can to make sure frontline workers get the hazard pay they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I spoke to Inspector General Michael Atkinson tonight, thanked him for his service, and told him that history will remember him as a hero and those who retaliated against him as scoundrels. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I’m heartbroken by the loss of FDNY Deputy Chief Inspector Syed Rahman. 22 years on the job. Service at Ground Zero. Father of four. NYC is in his debt. I’m praying for him, his family, and for all public servants we have lost and everyone we have lost. https://t.co/LPx73T3n0t — PolitiTweet.org

“A searing time for whistleblowers” That’s what Michael Atkinson told me in a letter in March. In America, patriots like him speak truth to power. And that’s why President Trump fired him. https://t.co/0C7MiyXJqj — PolitiTweet.org

Lives across the country are at stake. We can't rely on a patchwork of uncoordinated voluntary efforts for critical medical supplies. I'm continuing to urge Pres. Trump to appoint a senior military officer with a logistics background to lead gov-wide production and distribution. — PolitiTweet.org

We knew for years we needed a plan for masks. President Obama set it in motion, but President Trump has done nothing to see it through. We are woefully unprepared today, but we shouldn’t have been. https://t.co/Em7oEhOzro — PolitiTweet.org
