President Trump’s big, ugly bill hurts working families. It destroys the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency that has delivered $21 billion to families who have been scammed. This attack on consumers puts predatory corporations ahead of hardworking Americans. I’m fighting to kill it.
Hurricanes don’t phase out. Neither do floods, fires, earthquakes, or other disasters. FEMA is how we help our fellow Americans in dire need after disasters—and get them started on the road to recovery.
A headline from CNN reads: “Trump says he plans to phase out FEMA after 2025 hurricane season”
The Republican Big, Ugly Betrayal will kill jobs and raise costs. It would kill over 800,000 good-paying clean energy jobs. It would raise American families’ energy costs by $170 billion. And it would send jobs to the Chinese Communist Party.
Leader Schumer speaks at a press conference on how Republicans' Big, Ugly Betrayal would kill millions of jobs and raise the price of energy for Americans, June 11, 2025.
Good. He should never have been arrested to begin with for exercising his right to free speech. I’m standing with @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov to fight for answers from the Trump administration, and we’re standing together for his defense.
UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!
Trump is desperate for a diversion from ripping health care from 17 million Americans and his war with Musk. Deploying our own armed troops on Americans is outrageous, unnecessary, and dangerously provocative.
The Trump administration’s disturbing pattern of arresting and detaining American citizens for exercising their right to free speech and protest is not only sickening—it’s a blatant abuse of power and a stain on our democracy. David Huerta should be released immediately.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...
To members of the Muslim community in New York and around the world: Eid Mubarak! Wishing all of you a blessed Eid al-Adha celebrating with your family and loved ones.
There was a barrage of attacks on Ukraine last night. We’re more than 1000 days into Ukraine’s fight for freedom against Putin. I’m leading legislation fighting for America to transfer additional air defense systems to Ukraine and re-affirm our support for our ally at this crucial moment. 🇺🇦
Today and every day, we remember the Allied Forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy on #DDay, defeating fascism and liberating Europe from the Nazi regime. 81 years later, we honor our WWII heroes by continuing in the fight against fascism, and working to uphold democracy.
Thanks to Joni Ernst, we’re going to call it the Well, We’re All Going To Die Act. It just shows how callous the Republicans are being with this bill ripping health care away from Americans.
Trump posted that Putin “very strongly” said “he will have to respond” to the recent attacks by Ukraine. Trump should've told Putin to end the war, stop his illegal invasion, stop killing Ukrainians. But he was too busy acting like Putin's press secretary and announcing his military plans.
A headline from The New York Times reads: “Trump Says Putin Plans to Retaliate for Ukrainian Attack on Warplanes”
WE'RE EXPOSING THEM: Trump thinks he's a king, and the GOP wants to crown him Buried in their ugly bill is a provision to restrict the power of judges to hold officials in contempt for violating court orders That would make it easier for Trump to defy the courts We'll use every tool to fight it
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference announcing Senate Democrats’ plan to fight the unconstitutional provision in Republicans’ “Big, Ugly Bill” that would gut U.S. judicial system, June 6, 2025.
Sen. John Kennedy: “I’m not worried about people losing their health care" Sen. Kevin Cramer on Medicare: “Why don't we go after that? I think we should" Sen. Joni Ernst: “Well, we’re all going to die” That’s the Republican party for you. They don't care about your health care.
“Millions Would Lose Their Obamacare Coverage Under Trump’s Bill” The Congressional Budget Office has now said the number of impacted Americans has grown to 16 MILLION Americans who will lose Medicaid and ACA coverage under the Big, Ugly bill This is exactly what Democrats have been warning about.
A headline from The New York Times reads: “Millions Would Lose Their Obamacare Coverage Under Trump’s Bill”
