“America’s golden age” was a complete lie. The numbers tell the truth: Trump has been a disaster for American industry and is killing the blue-collar jobs he promised he’d bring back. Trump’s record: fewer jobs and higher prices. Change can’t some soon enough.
A headline from Wall Street Journal reads: U.S. Manufacturing Is in Retreat and Trump’s Tariffs Aren’t Helping

The most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday. You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors

🚨I took to the Senate floor to pass a bill to force the Senate to sue the Trump administration for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Republicans objected.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 5(source)
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed We must rein in ICE Here’s what we're demanding:
Senator Schumer laid out clear legislative actions to rein in ICE and stop the violence.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 4(source)
Happy birthday, Rosa Parks! Today and every day, we remember her courage, strength, and resiliency during the Civil Rights Movement, and we carry that legacy with us in the continued fight for justice.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 4(source)
Donald Trump said the nation should move on from the Epstein files. No. We will not move on until we get the whole truth, the full truth about the Epstein files—as you promised. We’re not even close to that yet.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 4(source)
ICE’s abuses go beyond the headlines. Residents are afraid to go to schools, to grocery stores, to even step outside. Agents are patrolling the streets like a military operation. A 20% reduction is not enough. All of ICE needs to leave Minneapolis now.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 3(source)
Federal agents tear-gassed demonstrators and children in Portland. An agent in Colorado stole a woman’s phone and threw her to the ground. The disgraced former head of Border Patrol urged mass arrests. This isn't what Americans signed up for. We must rein in ICE.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 3(source)
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 3(source)
I want to be very clear: Kristi Noem doesn't get participation points by saying agents will start doing what they should've done all along. This is the bare minimum and should apply to agents nationwide. And there is still so much more to do.
A headline by CBS News reads "All immigration officers in Minneapolis will start wearing body cameras, Noem says"
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 3(source)
Democrats will fight and block Trump’s calls to nationalize elections. The very pillars of American society, democracy and the rule of law will prevail over cult of personality.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 3(source)
Trump called for Republicans to, “take over voting in 15 states in the country.” Trump calling on his own party to nationalize voting is just more dangerous, autocratic poison. Our democracy is at risk, and it’s all the President’s fault.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 2(source)
Americans from all walks of life agree that the status quo cannot continue. What's happening in Minneapolis and other cities around the country is not law and order, it's thuggery. We will keep working to rein in ICE’s abuses.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govFeb 2(source)
The SAVE Act is nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Every single Senate Democrat will vote against any bill that contains it. Speaker Johnson should tell SAVE Act Republicans to stand down or else this shutdown will be on them.
