Schumer's 'Apprentice' praise of Trump goes viral: 'Going to go places'

Aww, cute. This is back when they handed Trump a script so he knew how to say “You’re Fired.” He’s forgotten those lines now though. Or it was all an act. Just ask Pete Hegseth. www.foxnews.com/politics/sch...

Trump and his billionaire friends’ attacks on democracy can only be defeated through solidarity With his illegal, un-American proposal to target environmental non-profits I organized a broad coalition of NY civil society to send a message: You come after one, you come after all

Trump and his billionaire friends are executing a plan to cripple opposition to his unpopular agenda. He is working to target groups, law firms, universities opposed to their plans. Today, we stood together against it rallying a broad coalition of groups across civil society in NYC.

Trump is going after every corner of civil society to silence opposition He wants autocracy not democracy It'll make everyone more vulnerable to his agenda prioritizing billionaires—cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid That’s why we rallied today in solidarity in NYC with non-profit groups

Trump and his billionaire buddies are waging an unprecedented assault on dissent and opposition. Today, I brought together a massive coalition of organizations from across civil society to say: A threat to one is a threat to all. We will not be divided.

Here's what I told @mollyjongfast.bsky.social about the Republican voter-suppression SAVE Act: It will not pass the Senate. Period.

Senate Republicans voted against my amendment to stop Trump’s chaotic tariff-tax from raising prices on Americans and hurting small businesses. We’re going to make them vote again to show where they stand. From me with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social:

I stood in Rockland County—Rep. Mike Lawler’s home turf—with seniors, families, and nurses who will be devastated by Trump's cuts to Medicaid. Rep. Lawler knows he and his fellow Republicans could stop these cuts if they wanted. But he’s refusing to stand up for New Yorkers.

We delivered the PACT Act for our veterans, yet DOGE and the Trump administration are undermining it through VA layoffs and contract cancellations. Our veterans deserve better. I'm fighting alongside @blumenthal.senate.gov and all @democrats.senate.gov to ensure they get the care they’ve earned.

I met Pope Francis when he first came to New York, invited by Cardinal Dolan. I spent time with him over two days, and I saw in His Holiness the beauty of his soul. It shone through amazingly, powerfully. I’ll never forget those days.
