Senate Republicans voted against my amendment to stop Trump’s chaotic tariff-tax from raising prices on Americans and hurting small businesses. We’re going to make them vote again to show where they stand. From me with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social:
I stood in Rockland County—Rep. Mike Lawler’s home turf—with seniors, families, and nurses who will be devastated by Trump's cuts to Medicaid. Rep. Lawler knows he and his fellow Republicans could stop these cuts if they wanted. But he’s refusing to stand up for New Yorkers.
We delivered the PACT Act for our veterans, yet DOGE and the Trump administration are undermining it through VA layoffs and contract cancellations. Our veterans deserve better. I'm fighting alongside @blumenthal.senate.gov and all @democrats.senate.gov to ensure they get the care they’ve earned.
I met Pope Francis when he first came to New York, invited by Cardinal Dolan. I spent time with him over two days, and I saw in His Holiness the beauty of his soul. It shone through amazingly, powerfully. I’ll never forget those days.
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.
