On Government Reform: We need independent commission on insurrection

"But just as glaring is what the report didn't consider," Schumer said. "Indeed, what it was not allowed to consider. The report did not investigate, report on, or hardly make any reference to the actual cause--the actual impetus--for the attack on January 6."

"With the exception of a brief reference to former President Trump's remarks at the ellipse, Senate Republicans insisted that the report exclude anything having to do with the cause of the insurrection," he said.

"If anything, the joint report by the Homeland Security and Rules committees has strengthened the argument for an independent commission on January 6."

On Technology: Public-private partnerships allow "Trump tolls" for cronies

A number of Democratic elected officials have fought against partnering with private companies, arguing that this isn't free money. Companies that invest in infrastructure, they say, want something back in return. They have also argued that private partnerships could lead to a rise in cronyism.

Senator Chuck Schumer said that this kind of partnership would lead to Trump creating "a plan to appease his political allies, not to rebuild the country," and that these companies would levy "Trump tolls" throughout the US.
