The National Labor Relations Board stands up for American workers. That’s why the Trump administration is trying so hard to fight them. It’s not over, and we’ll keep fighting for Commissioner Wilcox to serve her full term as confirmed by the Senate.

A headline from NPR reads: “Supreme Court allows Trump to fire members of independent agency boards — for now”

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

BREAKING: We're introducing a bill to stop Trump and Bondi from weaponizing US Marshals. It'll move the Marshals from the Executive to the Judiciary Branch. It'll stop Trump and Bondi from interfering as they enforce court orders or weaponizing them to intimidate citizens and government employees.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

Donald Trump and Linda McMahon are attempting to dismantle the entire Department of Education. And it would hurt our kids. This is a good step.

A headline from New York Times reads: Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Dismantling Education Department

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

Republicans rammed their so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill’ through the House There's nothing beautiful about: The largest cuts to Medicaid Hospitals and health centers shutting down Raising taxes on clean energy and raising energy prices Senate Democrats will oppose this morally bankrupt bill

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

Defunding Planned Parenthood wasn’t enough for Republicans The radicals got their pitchforks and added a provision to effectively ban every insurance premium on every ACA exchange for covering abortion Democrats will fight this awful bill

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

Yaron Lischinsky Sarah Milgrim A beautiful young couple, about to be engaged, just starting their lives, gunned down seemingly because they were Jewish This was cold-blooded murder of two Jewish staffers from the Israeli embassy Such a blatant, targeted act of antisemitism should outrage everyone

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

This is not one big, beautiful bill. It’s ugly. There’s nothing beautiful about stripping away people’s healthcare, forcing kids to go hungry, denying communities the resources they need, and increasing poverty. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

House Republicans pass ‘big, beautiful bill’ after weeks of division

The sweeping measure heads to the Senate, where Republicans are expected to make changes.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 22(source)

Trump promised you he’d end this in one day. It’s been 120. And he’s just giving in to whatever that thug Putin wants.

A headline from The Atlantic reads: “Trump Hands Putin Another Victory”

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 21(source)

With the news that Trump formally accepted the Qatari jet: I took to the Senate floor to pass my bill to block DoD from spending a single penny on a foreign Air Force One It’s a bribe It’s a national security threat But Republicans stood with Trump and blocked my bill THAT’S NOT AMERICA FIRST

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 21(source)

The Republican tax bill would hurt the most vulnerable Americans while benefitting the billionaires. American families will lose healthcare American families will lose food benefits American families will lose jobs American families will lose money

A headline from USA Today reads: "New analysis shows GOP tax bill would decrease resources for poorest Americans"

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 21(source)

120 days into Trump’s presidency: Trump’s trade war is raising prices The GOP is fighting to take away Medicaid Distrust in Trump’s leadership is rising on the world stage

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 21(source)

While Republicans are giving tax cuts to billionaires, Trump is hurting American farmers and taking food out of the mouths of hungry kids around the world Letting kids go hungry isn’t just unfair, it’s immoral. Hurting farmers isn’t just incompetent, it’s bad for America.

A headline from Politico reads: "USDA spiking global food aid grants"

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 21(source)

Republicans' 'Big Beautiful Bill' is forcing billions in cuts to MEDICARE—which will hurt seniors. On top of the LARGEST cut to Medicaid in American history. It's shameful.

A headline from The Washington Post reads: "Trump and GOP’s tax bill would force cuts to Medicare, CBO says"

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 20(source)

NEWS: The GOP plan to gut Medicaid could kick 1.5 MILLION New Yorkers off health insurance and rip $13.5 BILLION from local New York hospitals and health care every year. That's what New York Republicans are preparing to steal from New Yorkers to fund their billionaire tax cuts.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 20(source)

Companies are raising prices because of Trump’s tariff tax and it’s hurting families. And what does Trump say about it? “Eat the tariffs.” Maybe it’s hard for Trump to hear everyone's concerns from inside his luxury Qatari jet.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 20(source)

This is disgusting The Trump admin is disrespecting the Capitol Police by awarding $5 MILLION to the family of Ashley Babbitt AN INSURRECTIONIST This sends a sickening message to police and first responders When it matters most, Trump will turn his back on you

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 20(source)

Trump taking this Qatari plane is a national security threat and a bribe. And I’m introducing legislation to stop the Defense Department from spending a single penny on it.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)

It's pretty rich for Donald Trump to tell retailers that they have to “eat the tariffs” Meanwhile he’s accepting luxury planes and crypto deals in the Middle East Donald Trump does more to help himself than to help America

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)

NEWS: Because we fought for it, Trump just finally lifted his stop-work order for Equinor’s Empire Wind off Long Island. Many thousands of good-paying jobs Billions of dollars already invested Clean and affordable power for Long Island homeowners and businesses

Chuck Schumer

@schumer.senate.gov

Open post ↗

Equinor’s Empire Wind is a major offshore wind project in NY But Trump suddenly issued a stop work order without justification Good jobs Billions spent All on hold Trump claims to want energy dominance but this is all just because of a gripe he has about offshore wind and his Scotland golf course

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)

I’m introducing a bill to prohibit any foreign aircraft from being used as Air Force One It'll prohibit DoD from using funds to procure or modify foreign aircraft for presidential flights Retrofitting the Qatari plane would cost billions and could never even truly eliminate all catastrophic risks
