GAS PRICES ARE $4.39 AND CLIMBING I stood at a gas station in Upstate NY with veterans, farmers, and families paying the price every time they fill up. This is Trump country. They don’t want to pay for his reckless Iran war. They’re saying: enough. End the war. Stop the pain at the pump.

That’s bullshit. This is an illegal war and every day Republicans remain complicit and allow it to continue is another day lives are endangered, chaos erupts, and prices increase, all while Americans foot the bill.

Trump tells Congress the Iran war has ‘terminated’ as legal deadline hits
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 30(source)
Hegseth and Trump call their war with Iran an “astounding victory” 13 American servicemembers have been killed. 400 have been wounded. The Pentagon says it’s spent at least $25 billion. This is not a victory. They need to roll up their sleeves & bring a diplomatic end to this mess.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 30(source)
Inflation rose to 3.5% in March—the highest rate in almost three years, and Trump's making things worse with Iran’s war compounding the increase in prices. People are paying more. All because Donald Trump.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 30(source)
It’s about time.  Speaker Johnson just passed the bill that Senate Democrats and Republicans passed unanimously 36 DAYS AGO to pay TSA, FEMA, and CISA employees through the fiscal year.  Over a month of unnecessary pain for millions of Americans brought to you by the @houserepublicans.bsky.social.

Trump can't win the election except by rigging it. He said it himself. And that’s exactly what the right-wing is trying to do, from gerrymandering, to the SAVE Act, to attacks mail-in voting, and more. We will not let them rig the system.

Democrats Launch New Effort to Identify Republican ‘Threats’ to the Midterms
Democrats are tapping former Attorney General Eric Holder as part of an effort to push back against what they say is potential interference in this year’s midterm elections.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 29(source)
BREAKING: @democrats.senate.gov just launched our Election Fraud Task Force—the most aggressive and coordinated election protection effort in history. With top election law experts, we'll identify threats, fight voter suppression efforts, & defend the right to vote ahead of the midterms.

The Supreme Court just turned its back on one of the most sacred promises in American democracy—the promise that every voice counts. My statement on the Supreme Court's decision dealing a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act:
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 28(source)
Americans are working longer hours just to keep up with rent, groceries, and bills. Instead of helping them, Republicans are planning to use $400 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund Trump’s gilded ballroom. This is exactly where their priorities lie.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 28(source)
The visit of King Charles III should serve as a reminder to the President of the United States and to every elected official in this country: friends and allies matter.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 28(source)
It has been 35 years since a British monarch addressed the elected representatives of the American people—the world has changed dramatically, but in many ways, the same tests remain before us.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 28(source)
The last thing working Americans need right now is another war—let alone one that’s 90 miles south of the U.S. @democrats.senate.gov will advance another War Powers Resolution to give Republicans an opportunity to stop a looming catastrophe in Cuba.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 28(source)
As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos. Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom. This man’s values are perverse.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 27(source)
THIS WEEK: Senate Democrats will force a SIXTH vote on our War Powers Resolution ending Trump’s war of choice in Iran. As we reach 60 days of a reckless and unpopular war, will Republicans continue to back Trump and dig themselves deeper into this hole?
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 27(source)
Democrats UNANIMOUSLY supported funding the vast majority of DHS, including Secret Service. We passed it in the Senate, not once but twice. It is House Republicans, not Democrats, who are blocking this funding.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govApr 27(source)
Another attack on New York offshore wind by Trump. These projects would have delivered desperately needed cheaper, cleaner energy to our homes and small businesses. All this does is kill good-paying union jobs and send energy prices even higher. Despicable.
A headline from PoliticoPro reads: Interior announces end of two more offshore wind leases
