Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 28, 2020
Tweet - ""Let them eat cake." The cover of the @NYDailyNews this morning sums up the Republican COVID plan. Who are Republicans fighting for in this COVID proposal? Big banks. Defense contractors. Members of the Trump family. Not American families, workers, or the unemployed."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 28, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Republicans snuck into their COVID proposal nearly $2B in taxpayer funds for a new FBI building whose location will increase the value of the Trump hotel. That's right. Senate GOP is rewarding President Trump and his family's business interests but not essential workers."

July 28, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans have created a serious framework. The question is whether Democrats will come to the table in good faith. In March, when they did, we passed the CARES Act unanimously. In June, when they didn't, police reform collapsed. It will take bipartisanship to make law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
July 27, 2020
Tweet - "The President runs away from responsibility for the pandemic, asking cities & states to come up w/solutions. Yet when it comes to local law enforcement, he wants to send in fed. troops to take over. It's time for the President to take responsibility for his response to #COVID19."
