This new “OPM” (read: DOGE) email was sent to Air Traffic Controllers.  That’s right. Trump, Musk, and DOGE are diverting Air Traffic Controllers from their vital work keeping Americans safe by forcing them to do busy work! I’m fighting to keep our aviation system safe.

Democrats delivered the Postal Service Reform Act to fight for our postal workers and the Postal Service. Trump and DOGE just want to turn the clock back to when he was trying to ruin the Postal Service. We will not stop fighting for the Postal Service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
We held the floor all night to fight the GOP plan to gut health care to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest few. Now I'm strategizing with NY labor leaders, healthcare advocates, organizers on how we’re going to keep fighting the GOP plan to help their billionaire buddies. This is for the people.
Senator Schumer strategizes with New York labor leaders, healthcare advocates, and organizers.
I made sure that President Trump, DOGE, and Secretary Kennedy heard us loud and clear: Do not mess with our first responders and the healthcare of 9/11 survivors. Now they’re backing off their brutal cuts to the 9/11 survivor health program and rehiring the workers.
Tonight, Senate Dems are putting up amendment after amendment against the Republicans’ absurd plans to give another tax cut to their billionaire buddies on YOUR back. We chatted with @underthedesknews.bsky.social just off the Senate floor about how we’re fighting back: youtube.com/shorts/Fl4Y1...
The Republicans couldn’t even say yes to that because they just so badly want to give their billionaire buddies another tax break that they’re willing to take health care away from kids, kick grandparents out of nursing homes, and abandon Americans with disabilities.
I put an amendment on the Senate floor that says no billionaire should have a tax cut if a single dollar of Medicaid funding is cut. But you guessed it:
But Republicans just couldn’t help themselves. They voted no. Because they want to give their billionaire buddies yet another tax break. Democrats will not stop putting amendment after amendment on the floor to keep fighting back.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans are trying to give their billionaire buddies a tax break and have you, the American people, pay the cost. Democrats are putting AMENDMENT AFTER AMENDMENT on the Senate floor tonight to fight back.
All night on the Senate floor: Democrats are putting up AMENDMENT AFTER AMENDMENT to fight back against the Senate Republican budget resolution Because the Republicans, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk are trying to give huge tax breaks to their billionaire buddies paid for by YOU
Senate Republicans are about to try to advance a budget resolution that clears the way to cut taxes for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Democrats are going to expose how Republicans want to gut health care, jobs, public safety, housing, education, and national security.
