I’ve been to every Republican swing district in NY to stand with the people who'll be hurt by the cuts their representatives are trying to enact to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security so they can give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies. We are going to keep up this fight.
His compassion and love for the less fortunate was felt in every corner. His papacy will be remembered as a beacon of light and hope against the darkness. My prayers are with the billions of people today who are mourning his loss.
I join the world in mourning the sad news of Pope Francis’s passing. Pope Francis’s message of hope inspired people around the world—people of all faiths.
The details keep coming out. We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired.
This movement will continue to build against Donald Trump’s lawless attacks on our rights and our livelihoods. Donald Trump is hurting working people and destroying our democracy, and the American people are standing up against him. www.newsweek.com/photos-show-...
The so-called Department of Government Efficiency is cutting the Department of Veterans Affairs to the bone, taking away critical resources from our nation’s heroes. I’m proud to stand with @blumenthal.senate.gov to talk about these cruel cuts and how Democrats are fighting for our vets.
We remember the 168 victims who were murdered in the Oklahoma City Bombing 30 years ago today, those who were injured, and all their families. We remember the tragic day where right-wing anti-government extremism wrought domestic terrorism on innocent Americans.
I stood with Rochester-Finger Lakes veterans at the Canandaigua VA to fight DOGE cuts to services for veterans. Republicans in Congress could stop these cuts, but they’re staying silent while Trump and Musk fire VA workers and veterans and make it harder to access benefits.
Today in NYC, I met with LGBTQIA+ elected officials to strategize on how we can collectively resist the Trump administration’s relentless assault on LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers. A threat to one is a threat to all, and we will stand up for each other.
Senator Schumer meets with LGBTQIA+ elected officials, April 18, 2025.
President Macron just said it was wrong to make Haitians pay for their own freedom. But in America, Trump is slapping tariffs on Haitians already suffering and cutting assistance to Haiti. It's indefensible. America must support our neighbors in Haiti. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/f...
Senate Dems are leading a Medicaid Day of Action. I’m in Rockland County—GOP Rep. Lawler’s backyard. He could vote to stop the largest Medicaid cuts ever if he wanted, but refuses to stand up for NYers. Instead the House GOP's working to slash Medicaid for billionaire tax cuts.
Senator Schumer holds a press conference at Helen Hayes Hospital for the Medicaid Day of Action, April 17, 2025.
This is an attack by the Trump admin on American energy independence, good-paying union jobs, and lower electricity bills. Trump’s energy policy is to just support companies that generate dirty fossil fuels produced by his top campaign contributors.
Trump illegally fired two National Credit Union Administration board members. This threatens the stability of Main Street credit unions that American families & small businesses rely on & undermines the protection of trillions of dollars in assets belonging to working families & small businesses.
The GOP is getting ready to gut Medicaid by $880B—the biggest cut to Medicaid in US history. That's why I'm with standing with seniors & nurses in Western NY. We're in the fight of our lives to protect health care for those on Medicaid.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference in Buffalo, April 16, 2025
I'm at the Canandaigua VA to say: The Trump/DOGE plan to fire 80,000+ VA workers will have devastating impacts for thousands of veterans across Upstate NY. They must immediately restore fired vets and VA workers, and stop plans to further decimate the VA. This is not how you treat our vets.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference at the Canandaigua VA, April 16, 2025.
Donald Trump has no fidelity to the law, and his intentions for the Justice Department and US Attorney offices have been made clear. I will not return the blue slip for his nominees for US Attorney for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...
