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...
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.
