Donald Trump is preparing to hold our government hostage unless we help him undermine our right to vote, our elections, our democracy. This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully. Democrats will not support passage of the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

A headline by The Hill reads: "Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes"

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 9(source)

Donald Trump's war has sent gas prices skyrocketing through the roof. “If they rise, they rise,” is all he has to say. Tough luck, America. What contempt. What cluelessness.

A headline from The New York Times reads: U.S. Gasoline Prices, Rising Again, Hit $3.48 a Gallon

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 9(source)

Gas prices are surging all because of Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran. More broken promises, and the Trump administration doesn’t even pretend to care.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 8(source)

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 8(source)

Due to Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice, gas prices have surged to their highest levels in years. His response? “If they rise, they rise.” He couldn’t care less. Today, I demanded Trump release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve IMMEDIATELY to bring relief to Americans at the pump.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 5(source)

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 5(source)

Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. But the problems at DHS go much deeper than any one person. The President must rein in ICE and end the violence.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 5(source)

If Trump doesn’t want gas prices to go up, he shouldn’t have started the war in Iran. This is yet another sign that this administration seems allergic to having a plan and thinking about the consequences of their actions. Shame on the Senate GOP for not standing up to Trump and his reckless war.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 5(source)

The people who deserve a refund from Trump's trade war are American households and small businesses, not large corporations. Corporations should pass savings of any tariff refunds to American consumers.

A headline by NBC News reads: "Judge rules companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs overturned by the Supreme Court"

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 5(source)

I’m proud to lead @democrats.senate.gov in introducing the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act. Our bill will break the monopoly power that has played a sinister role in raising prices of beef and groceries for Americans.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

10 years later, the so-called “Peace President” and his administration seem to think wars should be fought forever…

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

The Senate is about to vote on our War Powers Resolution. If just 5 Republican Senators won’t vote with Democrats to stop Donald Trump’s military madness, they alone will own the consequences of this reckless war.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

This is insanity.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

This is not the golden age Donald Trump promised.

A headline from Wall Street Journal reads: Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k) Savings

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

Last night’s elections proved one thing: People are fed up with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. Democrats are going to do what Donald Trump refuses to do—fight the affordability crisis every day, all year long.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

Here in the Senate, we have a chance to say no more to Donald Trump's military insanity. Today the Senate will vote on a bipartisan war powers resolution led by me, @kaine.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and Senator Rand Paul to put a STOP to military activity in Iran. We must act.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 4(source)

I sat yesterday with my Senate colleagues for an all-senators briefing, and here’s how much clarity we got out of that briefing: Zero.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 3(source)

The Senate is moving long-overdue housing legislation: The 21st Century Road to Housing Act. Democrats know this is only the first step. We have much more work to do, and we will keep fighting to lower housing costs for working Americans.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 2(source)

The American people want and need help affording everyday cost of living. Instead, Donald Trump has plunged us into another endless war costing billions of taxpayer dollars and American lives.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 2(source)

We grieve the deaths of six U.S. Servicemembers who were killed in action this weekend. Their families are in our hearts. We pray for all American families who have loved ones serving. And we pray for everyone across the Middle East who are now in harm's way.
