Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Thursday that Republicans should "stop sitting on their hands," after new figures put the number of unemployment claims since late March at 40 million.
"The cost of Republican inaction grows every day. ... Senate Republicans ought to stop sitting on their hands and work in a bipartisan way to provide the immediate help workers and families need," Schumer said.
He also knocked ongoing investigations by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) into the FBI's investigation of Russian election meddling and the Trump campaign, saying that Republicans "are still more focused on peddling conspiracy theories to prop up President Trump than they are helping the American people reeling from the health and economic crises."
