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...
Social Security Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek is just a hatchet man for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. He is dismantling the very office is he is supposed to lead, make better, and protect. He won’t protect seniors. He will hurt them. He should resign.
Social Security Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek must resign. Leland Dudek has granted DOGE access to private data systems and deeply personal information, laid off thousands of staff, and closed critical offices. He is incapable of doing the job in the way it needs to be done.
More uncertainty, madness, and lunacy from Trump. Trump is flip flopping yet again on his tariff scheme, leaving businesses, consumers, and the American people confused. This is not good for working families. And this is not good for America.
A post from Donald Trump reads: NOBODY is getting "off the hook" for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst! There was no Tariff "exception" announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff "bucket." The Fake News knows this, but refuses to report it. We are taking a look at Semiconductors and the WHOLE ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN in the upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations. What has been exposed is that we need to make products in the United States, and that we will not be held hostage by other Countries, especially hostile trading Nations like China, which will do everything within its power to disrespect the American People. We also cannot let them continue to abuse us on Trade, like they have for decades, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! The Golden Age of America, which includes the
After the tragic Hudson River crash: I'm urging the FAA to pull NY Helicopter Tours' operating certificate, cease their flights until the investigation is complete, and increase ramp inspections on every other helicopter tour company. So many lives depend on getting this right.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference on the tragic Hudson River helicopter crash, April 13, 2025.
The tariff chaos from the Trump administration never ends. Between Bessent, Lutnick, and crazy Navarro it’s impossible to tell who actually knows what they’re talking about. Maybe no one knows. Uncertainty caused by Trump is killing our economy. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
I am saddened and deeply disturbed to learn about the arson attack on @governor.pa.gov's residence in Harrisburg. I am praying for him and for his family's safety, and I am grateful to the law enforcement and first responders who acted quickly to bring them to safety.
Poll after poll shows the American people are waking up to Trump’s broken promises. In less than 100 days, Trump has threatened health care, Social Security, & raised costs all while catering to the ultra-rich. Democrats won't stop fighting to limit the damage from Trump's chaos.
CBS News poll: President Trump’s tariff plans bring concern about prices, but his GOP base believes they will lead to more jobs.
Chag Pesach Sameach to everyone celebrating This Passover, as we tell the story of the freedom of the Jewish people, we hold in our hearts the hostages still brutally held in Hamas’s captivity & reaffirm that we're not truly free until they are all home We must do everything to bring them home NOW
Saddened by the passing of my friend former Rep. John LaFalce. We served together in the House and I saw firsthand his dedication to WNY and working families. He led with principle, compassion, & a deep sense of fairness. My prayers are with his loved ones. www.wkbw.com/news/local-n...
The Trump/Musk relentless assault to dismantle Social Security continues. What else can you expect from out of touch billionaires who called it a Ponzi scheme? Senate Democrats will keep fighting so that seniors receive their hard-earned benefits.
SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.
Republicans know that their SAVE Act is not about safe, transparent, and secure elections. It's about seizing control of our elections, fanning the flames of election denialism, and making it harder for millions of American citizens to vote. It is dead on arrival in the Senate.
