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

I was so happy to celebrate with 30 grandfathers and the Chinese American community in Flushing, Queens! Thank you to the Flushing Chinese Business Association and Peter Tu for organizing the wonderful celebration!
Senator Schumer celebrates Father's Day with the Flushing Chinese Business Association, June 15, 2025.
Senator Schumer celebrates Father's Day with the Flushing Chinese Business Association, June 15, 2025.
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.
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
Senator Schumer speaks with New Yorkers at a No Kings Rally in New York City, June 14, 2025.
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.
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.
