BIG: I’m announcing @slotkin.senate.gov will deliver our Democratic response to Trump’s Joint Address. Nothing short of a rising star in our party—she’s dedicated her life to our country. She will layout the fight to tackle the deep challenges we face and chart a path forward.

They’re raising prices by excluding clean energy from their emergency. They’re killing jobs by gutting domestic energy investments. They’re rewarding the CCP by ceding American energy leadership.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 27(source)
Democrats are using every tool we can to expose the Republican so-called “energy emergency” for what it is: A shameless power grab by Republicans to bow down to Big Oil.

Barney Brown was a true New York baseball icon. He was a four-time Negro League All-Star. His passion for baseball and his time in the New York Black Yankees helped shape the legacy of one of the most important teams in New York, leading the fight for equality in sports.

Senate Republicans are trying to hide the true cost of their billionaire tax giveaways. That’s right. They know how unpopular their billionaire tax cuts are. They know they’ll add FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS to the debt, raising costs for YOU. Democrats are going to expose them.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 26(source)
Senate Republicans are obeying to Big Oil with their resolution to reverse the Methane Waste Emissions Charge that Democrats passed in the Inflation Reduction Act. Republicans are raising costs and giving Big Oil license to pollute in our communities.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 26(source)
Almost every single House Republican signed their name to what would be the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history. All to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Democrats won't stop fighting to protect health care for the American people.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 26(source)
The GOP in Congress actually has a plan to raise your bank fees—starting with overdraft fees. They’re siding with big banks. That’s on top of Trump and DOGE working to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that fights for the middle class. Democrats are fighting for you.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 26(source)
Republicans are ready to throw Americans off Medicaid and SNAP so that they can give massive tax breaks to billionaires. Every single Democrat in Congress voted against the Republican tax scam. And Democrats will keep fighting with everything we have for hard working Americans.

Elon Musk has fired an estimated nearly 6,000 Veterans from their federal jobs, including many who are disabled. In Trump's America, the world's richest man gets to kick thousands of our nation's heroes to the curb. punchbowl.news/article/wash...
Thousands of veterans likely fired under DOGE
Democrats estimate that nearly 6,000 veterans may have already been fired from their federal jobs as part of the DOGE initiative run by Elon Musk.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 26(source)
3 judges just slapped down the Trump administration in 90 minutes. The judges are saying what we all know: Trump and DOGE want it to be a Golden Age for lawlessness and chaos. Democrats will not stop standing up for the American people.

I’m praying for the legendary Roberta Flack, her family, and everyone who knew and loved her. She set new standards for R&B, jazz, pop, and soul. She reshaped the music world. And she fought so hard for the causes that were close to her heart. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/a...
Roberta Flack, Virtuoso Singer-Pianist Behind ‘Killing Me Softly,’ Dies at 88
With majestic anthems like “Killing Me Softly” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” Ms. Flack, a former schoolteacher, became one of the most widely heard artists of the 1970s.

Hello Bluesky! I'm joining this platform because now more than ever, the American people need to be informed about what's going on. Chaos is up, corruption is up, and costs are up — and I spoke on The View about how Democrats are standing up for the American people.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 25(source)
DOGE set off a panic in Buffalo when it listed its National Labor Relations Board office on the chopping block. Buffalo is a hard-working, union town. I’m standing arm-in-arm with labor unions and workers to get answers and fight to keep this office open for Upstate workers and their rights.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 25(source)
With Donald Trump and DOGE slashing air safety personnel, this just keeps happening and happening and happening. It’s unacceptable. It’s horrifying. It’s putting Americans in danger. We have to fight for Americans’ safety in the air.

Our 9/11 heroes did not sign up for DOGE to try to cut the 9/11 Survivor Health Program. And it was all for DOGE to give tax breaks to the Republicans billionaires’ club. I was proud to fight to make President Trump and DOGE reverse themselves. We won for our 9/11 heroes.
