This is pathetic. Clearly, they don’t want to defend what they know they can’t defend. We need public hearings with Hegseth and Rubio under oath so the American people can get answers about the end game and the price they’re paying for Trump’s war.

A headline from The New York Times reads: Deferring to Trump, G.O.P. Lawmakers Resist a Public Accounting on Iran

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

Americans are being forced to choose between life-saving medicine and everyday necessities, all while Trump requests $200 billion more for his war. Remember, extending the ACA tax credits for more than 20 million Americans would have cost LESS THAN HALF of that. This is Donald Trump’s America.

A headline from Fortune reads: ‘Sometimes I don’t even take my medicine’: Americans are choosing between insulin and buying gas following Trump’s ACA cuts

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

As we have all week, Democrats will continue to hold the floor to block the Republican voter suppression SAVE Act. And as I’ve said all week: We will not let this bill pass under any circumstances, no matter how long it takes.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

For $200 billion, we could invest in jobs, in science, in manufacturing, and we could begin fixing our power grid.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

For $200 billion, we could cut hunger in this country in half.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

For $200 billion, we could educate a generation and unleash the immense potential of our students.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

For $200 billion we could lower health care premiums for tens of millions of Americans.

Exclusive: The Pentagon asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, according to an administration official, a new ask that will likely run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

If Trump wants $200 billion, it means he believes we may be at war for a very, very long time. That’s the last thing Americans want.

A headline from The Washington Post reads: Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 19(source)

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 16(source)

Trump promised to cut people's electricity bills in half by the end of his first year in office. Instead, they've risen by almost triple the rate of inflation.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 16(source)

Donald Trump says he’s hoping China will help us clear the Strait of Hormuz. Are you kidding me? Donald Trump created a mess in the Middle East, and he clearly has no plan for how to end it.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 16(source)

Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 13(source)

Trump and Republicans think rising gas prices are “a small price to pay”—they should try to tell that to Americans who must now choose between filling their tank and putting food on the table.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 13(source)

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. Always has been, always will be.

Breaking NYT: The Trump admin just lifted sanctions on Russian oil currently at sea — allowing it to be shipped to buyers around the world as Trump scrambles to contain soaring energy prices because of his war with Iran. The admin claims the move is temporary.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 12(source)

Democrats are ready to fund TSA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund CISA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund FEMA. And Coast Guard. Republicans are blocking it.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 12(source)

My statement on the Temple Israel Attack in West Bloomfield, Michigan:

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 12(source)

To my Republican colleagues: If you care about TSA, don't talk the talk, walk the walk.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 12(source)

I just chased Leader Thune off the Senate floor. The Senate GOP can't win this argument. Fund TSA now.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 11(source)

Today's ruling makes it unequivocally clear: the Trump administration must continue to fund the Gateway Tunnel Project. I have spent years fighting for this project, and we will not stop until every committed federal dollar reaches Gateway and workers can count on staying on the job for good.

A headline from Reuters reads: Trump administration must make New York tunnel payments, appeals court rules

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMar 11(source)

Let me say it again: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens. Not non-citizens, not undocumented immigrants - AMERICAN CITIZENS. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances. No amount of whining from Elon Musk will change that.
