Americans flying in and out of Newark Airport have experienced increasing delays & disruptions. I'm demanding a full Inspector General investigation into what happened at Newark so these problems don't get worse, or spread to airports across the nation.
A headline from New York Daily News reads: “Sen. Schumer calls for probe into FAA operations amid ongoing Newark Airport delays”
Democrats are going to fight this heartless budget with everything we’ve got and if Congressional Republicans actually cared about American families, they’d join us.
As he guts healthcare, slashes education, and hollows out programs families rely on—he’s bankrolling tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. It’s not just fiscally irresponsible, it’s a betrayal of working people from a morally bankrupt president.
The Trump admin is cruelly and unjustly weaponizing Harvard’s nonprofit status. I’m standing with @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and @warren.senate.gov to fight for the Treasury Inspector General to investigate the IRS’s and the admin’s potential criminal activity against Harvard.
The Trump administration is patently breaking the law, trying to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport people without due process. Americans reject this. The courts are taking them to task. We won’t stop fighting for our Constitution.
A headline from CNN reads: “Trump-appointed judge says president’s use of Alien Enemies Act is unlawful in first-of-its-kind ruling”
Frank Bisignano is literally called Mr. Slash-and-Burn for how he's slashed and burned his way through companies. Republicans are moving forward on his nomination by Trump to lead Social Security. Republicans will be complicit in axing Social Security if they confirm this guy.
Senate Republicans just voted to advance Frank Bisignano to lead Social Security This guy is literally known as Mr. Slash-and-Burn Because every company he’s been part of he’s slashed and burned his way through Confirming him makes Republicans Trump’s co-conspirators in slashing Social Security
The Senate GOP had a chance to stop Trump’s tariffs on the Senate floor last night. But they said no. They sided with Trump's tariffs. They sided with higher prices for Americans. And they sided with a $5,000 increase in costs per year.
We're working to force a vote in the Senate to make the Trump administration tell us what they’re doing to comply with court orders on those they’ve wrongfully deported to El Salvador with no due process. A threat to one is a threat to all. The courts have spoken. The Senate must fight for action.
Leader Thune and Senate Republicans tonight voted to keep the Trump tariff-tax in place. They own the Trump tariffs and higher costs on America’s middle-class families.
Today, I stood together with Rep. Jeffries, Senate Democrats, and House Democrats against the failure of Trump’s 100 days. Behind every Trump failure are Republicans in Congress—they are his enablers, his collaborators, his co-conspirators. We are going to keep working for the American people.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference on Trump's first 100 days in office, April 30, 2025.
BREAKING NEWS: We forced a vote to stop the damage Trump’s tariffs are doing to American families. But Senate Republicans just voted to keep the tariffs in place that are hurting families. They are Trump’s enablers, his collaborators, his co-conspirators.
Trump is everything the Founding Fathers worried about when they wrote the Constitution. He is assaulting freedom of the press, assaulting our education system, and expelling American citizens with no due process. We will keep fighting back.
