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.
The ghastly targeted shootings of Sen. Hoffman and Rep. Hortman are not just horrific—they’re acts of political extremism and an assault on our democracy itself. This is where hate and violent rhetoric lead.
I joined 8,000 environmental leaders to push back on Trump's “Big, Ugly Betrayal." The GOP plan raises taxes on energy, increases costs for families and businesses, and kills hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs to give tax breaks to billionaires. We won't stop fighting back.
Thank you, Charlie Rangel For being a mentor For being a dear friend For being one of the first to believe in me For a lifetime of service to Harlem, to New York, to America
Senator Padilla was thrown on the ground and handcuffed, all because he was exercising his duty as a senator. We need a full investigation into what the hell happened, and what's going to be done to see that this doesn't happen again to Senator Padilla or any American citizen.
The DHS’s use of force on Senator Padilla was uncalled for, cruel, and unacceptable This was a deliberate attempt to intimidate an elected official whose only offense is standing up for the voiceless But it’s not just about Senator Padilla, it’s about every person who dares to speak truth to power
I just spoke with @padilla.senate.gov. He’s standing strong. The DHS statement is wildly inaccurate and filled with falsehoods. The video shows you everything you need to know.
Sen. Padilla thrown to the ground, manhandled, brutally taken down, handcuffed It's disgusting Reeks of totalitarianism Un-American Not what democracies do Sen. Padilla was in that building to ask questions of what's going on in California, doing his duty to his constituents We need answers now
Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.
