Buffalo’s own Solar Liberty is one of WNY’s largest home solar installers, helping families lower their energy bills. We made federal investments to boost small businesses like Solar Liberty. But now the GOP plan could devastate them, hurting jobs and manufacturing and driving up energy costs.

Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference in Buffalo on how the Republican bill will raise energy costs, June 16, 2025.

I’m here with GreenSpark Solar, named Rochester’s #1 fastest-growing business But they’ve already had to lay off 20 workers because of Republicans’ attacks on clean energy And they’re worried about the future of their business with the Republican bill that would hike energy bills

It’s hard to believe that the Senate Republicans would put forward a bill that’s even worse than the House bill on Medicaid, but they did. Even more people will lose health care Even more hospitals will close Even more people will have their health insurance costs skyrocket

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govJun 16(source)

The Republican Senate Finance draft cuts to Medicaid are deeper and more devastating than even the Republican House’s disaster of a bill This could lead to even more than the 16M people expected to lose health insurance and the hundreds of hospitals and health centers facing higher risk of closure

The Senate Finance Committee unveiled its changes to how the GOP megabill would execute a major tax revamp and Medicaid cuts.

The Republican Finance draft is a head fake and farce. It increases energy costs. Period. The quick phaseout for solar and wind alone will make energy more expensive, make it harder to compete with China, and kill thousands upon thousands of jobs across the country, mostly in Republican districts.

And thank you to Sen. Schumer for raising the idea of fighting for our democracy on Flag Day. It was a powerful patriotic contrast to President Trump’s birthday parade

The energy is incredible here in Philly. We’re marching and rallying for Medicaid, for food assistance, for our students, for our schools, for our democracy and so much more. #NoKings

I was so proud to be in New York City today supporting Americans making their voice heard at No Kings protests and pushing back on Donald Trump’s authoritarian push to rig the economy for his billionaire buddies.

Millions of Americans are standing up today to say loud and clear: No kings in America.

I am grateful to the thousands of New Yorkers who came out in the rain today to push back on rising authoritarianism in America. I was proud to stand alongside them. #NoKings

Condemning violence is important but it is not enough. We must also confront the toxic forces radicalizing individuals and we must do more to protect one another, our democracy, and the values that bind us as Americans.

I have asked the Senate Sergeant at Arms and Leader Thune to convene a full briefing immediately when we return DC on member security in light of this awful incident.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govJun 14(source)

I spoke with both Senators Klobuchar and Smith. In light of this horrifying attack, I asked Capitol Police—as I did earlier this week for Senator Padilla—to immediately increase security for both senators. I thank the Sergeant at Arms and the Capitol Police for increasing security for all three.

We must stand united against political violence in all forms—and bring those responsible to swift and full justice. My heart aches for the victims and their families.
