Tim Scott're making good progress with Sen. Tim Scott, this is a serious problem. We need strong legislation. And we're hopeful that the Booker-Scott negotiations can produce just that.

Chuck Schumer

A social media summit designed to give support to the most radical viewpoints on social media should never have been planned by the White House in the first place.

I hope today's briefing provides members with specific information about what the departments and agencies are doing to combat the threat to our elections and what we ought to do next, after it concludes, we can not let this issue sit on the backburner. Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans alike must roll up Senate Democrats sleeves and get to work, the Majority Leader included.

I am calling on Secretary Acosta to resign, it is now impossible for anyone to have confidence in Secretary Acosta's ability to lead the Department of Labor.

This is a very difficult time, with everything going on in Iran and with provocations and counteractions. And to have no Secretary of Defense at this time? It's appalling, and it shows the chaos in this administration.

Why isn't Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer moving bills onto the floor -- bipartisan bills to deal with election security in 2020. FBI Director( Christopher) Wray said it's going to be worse in 2020 than it was in 2016. And because the Russians laid off in 2018, a non-presidential year, doesn't mean we can sit and do nothing. And yet that seems to be what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants to do.

We are done with that. by Chuck Schumer

We are done with that.

Let's hope that these murmurings among Republicans ... are real and they will actually stand up to him.

We're trying to come to an agreement, and one of the biggest questions is how to fund all of the needs of the middle-class on the domestic side.

We should not be having a multifront war on tariffs, i would focus everything on China. And get the Europeans, Canadians and Mexicans to be on our side and focus on China. Because they are the great danger.

China will take advantage of us decade in, decade out, unless we are strong with them, that is what we have to do, and it will help America in the long run.

Of course he wants to move on. He wants to cover up. by Chuck Schumer

Of course he wants to move on. He wants to cover up.

It's sort of like Richard Nixon saying let's move on at the height of the investigation of his wrongdoing.

This action only proves President Donald Trump and Donald Trump Department of Justice would rather make political points than defend our health care law that protects the 133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, has provided tens of millions more Americans with health insurance coverage, and has lowered prescription drug costs for millions of seniors, president Trump wants to take all of that away from the American people, jacking up health care costs and leaving millions without coverage.

In previous meetings, the president has said, 'If these investigations continue, I can't work with you.' He didn't bring it up. And so, I believe we can do both at once, we can come up with some good ideas on infrastructure. We want to hear his ideas on funding. That's going to be the crucial point, in my opinion. And the House and the Senate can proceed in its oversight responsibilities. The two are not mutually exclusive and we were glad he didn't make it that way.

We agreed on a number, which was very, very good - $2 trillion for infrastructure. Originally we had started with a lower - even the president was eager to push it up to $2 trillion.

Don't let President Trump fool you, America. Republicans are not the party of healthcare. They are the party that wants to end your healthcare, we Democrats will not stop fighting tooth and nail to protect America's healthcare, today, tomorrow, and on in through 2021.

Mr. Moore doesn't have the background. He's a politician. He's po... by Chuck Schumer

Mr. Moore doesn't have the background. He's a politician. He's political.

It is a stark reminder of the difference between our two parties: Democrats are fighting to expand and improve healthcare coverage and lower costs while Republicans are trying to take it all away and raise costs.

Republicans want to force this political stunt to distract from the fact that they neither have a plan nor a sense of urgency to deal with the threat of climate change, everyone knows it's a stunt, including the majority leader himself. He put something on the floor and then votes no. What's the point of that ?

Make no mistake about it, this is an escalation of the Trump administration and Republicans' attacks on protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
