Even on an issue like election security, @SenateMajLdr McConnell has sent bipartisan bill after bill after bill to his legislative graveyard. Next to the brazenness of Putin’s assault on our democracy in 2016, the response of the Republican majority in the Senate has been tepid. https://t.co/TjNjUmGEQf — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Our 2020 elections will be under attack from foreign interference. We must act immediately. Why is @SenateMajLdr McConnell burying this in his legislative graveyard? — PolitiTweet.org

President Ulysses S. Grant died on this date in 1885 at @GrantCottage in Saratoga County after completing his famous memoir. I visited this historic site last month to urge @NatlParkService to make it a National Historic Landmark. #OTD https://t.co/Kn10XZvqd1 — PolitiTweet.org

Incredible to see this moment. One of our 9/11 first responders, John Feal, embracing Jon Stewart just after the Senate vote. I’m so proud the struggle of nearly two decades to get these brave men and women what they deserve is—hopefully, finally—complete. They are our heroes. https://t.co/6RYgck2PZo — PolitiTweet.org

This is outrageous, cruel, and galling. After giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the wealthiest few and big corporations, the Trump Administration is attempting to take nutrition assistance away from millions of Americans on the verge of hunger. https://t.co/wIbyUcb43r — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

America can never fully repay the debt we owe our 9/11 first responders, who bravely rushed into danger when our country was under attack. But the least we can do is make sure they receive the help they deserve. The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund will now be virtually permanent. https://t.co/ezWsO6clRq — PolitiTweet.org

BIG NEWS: The Senate just passed the bill to make the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund virtually permanent. The struggle of nearly two decades to get these brave men and women what they deserve is—hopefully, finally—complete. — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

In a short time, the Senate will vote on and pass a permanent reauthorization of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Speaking here on the Senate floor, I cannot do justice to the years upon years of work by the first responders, labor leaders, & advocates that led to this moment https://t.co/zLQ5Wwsfup — PolitiTweet.org

We reached a bipartisan agreement that will invest in middle-class priorities—veterans’ health, education, child care, and cancer research. https://t.co/Hp4Kc05Fp6 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Today, the Senate will vote to permanently reauthorize the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. These men and women, many of them sick, some of them gravely so, won’t have to return to Congress anymore to fight for the compensation that should always have been given. https://t.co/P2RdkDwW87 — PolitiTweet.org

Last Friday, I led a group of @SenateDems to visit detention centers at our southern border The searing accounts of the conditions endured by migrant families are true Overcrowding. Migrants unable to brush their teeth, shower. Children in soiled clothing, caged. This must end https://t.co/jDAP37WUzn — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

It also means Democrats have secured a more than $100 billion increase to annual funding for middle-class priorities like veterans’ health, education, child care, and cancer research since President Trump took office. — PolitiTweet.org

Emergency kits on airplanes don't have to stock life-saving medicine like EpiPens Airlines have lobbied FAA for a pass since 2001 But with allergies on the uptick, FAA has to reverse course to help save kids & adults in emergencies https://t.co/3co8zK8aAe with @RealDoctorMike — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Morgenthau was a giant in every way, as a hero in WWII, as a prosecutor, as a district attorney, as a man, and as a New Yorker. My prayers go to his family and everyone who loved him. https://t.co/dNwtg0L9Xq — PolitiTweet.org

Sandman is entering the Hall of Fame today. From Albany to the Bronx to Cooperstown, Mariano Rivera has thrilled baseball fans, all while being a model of sportsmanship. Congratulations to a true legend. — PolitiTweet.org

It's past time we knew the risks posed by reported foreign intelligence targeting Trump properties. One Chinese national was arrested at Mar-a-Lago with USB devices infected with malware. How many others, if any, got through? https://t.co/g6PIOEoKvO — PolitiTweet.org

50 years ago, man set foot on the moon. I remember so clearly watching it in a cafeteria with so many other students that summer. The Apollo 11 moon landing still tells us that, if we put our minds to it, we can do big things for America and the planet. #MoonLanding #Apollo50th https://t.co/PFb9EjXex8 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The @SenateDems and I pushed Border Patrol leadership hard. Overcrowding. Migrants without the help they need. It doesn’t have to be this way. These are decisions from the top of the Trump admin. We must pass our bill to help end it—the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act. https://t.co/EP4cpKknd9 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

Humans being locked in cages. To see these people, coming to America in search of a better life, treated in such inhumane conditions. This is heart-wrenching. This is wrong. This is not who we are. This has to end. Now. https://t.co/wuypxDzXIL — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

WATCH: I just spoke to the press after leading a delegation of @SenateDems to investigate conditions for migrants at southern border facilities. These conditions are inhumane. These are families fleeing violence, searching for a better life in America. https://t.co/I1d0PPuwaM https://t.co/a6YXV3pcA5 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

What we saw today in facilities at the southern border was unbearable, inhumane, heartbreaking. Migrants and families and kids coming to America searching for a better life CANNOT be treated this way. This is not who we are. This must end. Now. https://t.co/Vk6Q6I2qca — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We took a moment to pray with these families with Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. These are families, fleeing violence, seeking a better life in America. Charities like this one are helping provide them with the basics, food and showers. https://t.co/YurpjZ8LBm — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We have to treat families better than this. These are human beings, fleeing violence, seeking a better life in America. https://t.co/T76uMtyXd6 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I just led a delegation of @SenateDems to investigate, inspect, and evaluate conditions for migrants at facilities on our southern border. These conditions are inhumane. These are families fleeing violence, searching for a better life in America. https://t.co/seWK9HmE27 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

This is not acceptable. A child telling us he’s not able to even brush his teeth in a facility on our southern border. These are human beings, children, kids, families, fleeing violence. This is not who we are. https://t.co/FG48D1CBe6 — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

The Acting Head of the Border Patrol @CBP just confirmed to me that the vast majority of migrants coming to the United States are NOT criminals. These are human beings fleeing danger. They deserve to be treated humanely and with respect. https://t.co/mo8zNZEUgX — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

We just landed in Texas. The conditions at the border for children and families have been inhumane. And I’m leading a delegation of @SenateDems to investigate, inspect, and evaluate conditions for migrants at facilities on the southern border. https://t.co/mfn5ZSMKpx — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer

I’m on the way to Texas leading a delegation of @SenateDems to investigate, inspect, and evaluate conditions for migrants at facilities on our southern border. Follow along today, and we’ll tell you about what we’ve seen. — PolitiTweet.org
