Senator Chuck Schumer is directing those affected by delays to tweet President Trump:
Train delayed? Tweet @POTUS to support rail infrastructure programs like #Gateway so we have tunnels & rail systems that work for you.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) July 10, 2017
Since Schumer brought it up, he was reminded of who else should be included in the accountability loop:
Love you Senator but the #lirr & #MTA collapsed on your watch. How can you have board members that don't use the system?

What about the NY/NJ administrations that have allowed it to get so bad. The MTA has been a disaster for years

@SenSchumer deflects blame for everything. Tweet @NYGovCuomo , he's the Governor wasting your money! https://t.co/B3yVIpVu2o

@SenSchumer, what happened to Obama's Trillion $ "Shovel Ready" #infrastructure Program that was to fix these systems? Where were you? https://t.co/PMLQ9JXgH8

Schumer also prompted more reminders that the NYC mayor wasn’t available to New Yorkers over the weekend:
Maybe if you tweet baby DeBlasio to quit spending taxpayers money in Hamburg, what Obama didn't spend on infrastructure could go there. https://t.co/KeVGM7gwLM

How about to tweet @BilldeBlasio to be in #NYC to work on his city instead of "protesting" in Hamburg? #G20 #Gateway

Or send your Democratic Mayor to Germany to protest!
