Trump’s DOJ granted him and his family immunity from tax audits, giving his family a license to commit tax fraud. Trump doesn’t have to pay his taxes. Meanwhile he’s using American tax dollars to line the pockets of his family and his far-right cronies.
A headline by The New York Times reads "I.R.S. to Drop Audits of Trump and Family"
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 20(source)
Trump says his billion-dollar, gold-plated ballroom is “a gift to the United States of America.” Let’s call it what it is: an insult to every American struggling to make ends meet.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 20(source)
Who’s having the worst week? Senate Republicans or Donald Trump? Hard to say when it’s only Wednesday and they’re all in a downward spiral where every day feels like a new rock bottom.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)
This Congress needs to come together to combat hate and to pass commonsense gun reforms to prevent violent individuals from acting on that hate with such deadly efficiency.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)
We must condemn islamophobia and all forms of hate in the loudest of terms. No one – no one – in America should have to live in fear of hate crimes or gun violence, but so many of us do – in our places of worship, in our streets, in the grocery aisle, in our schools.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)
One of the victims was a security guard and father of eight – Amin Abdullah – who was killed while preventing the gunmen from entering the building. His heroic actions surely saved many lives, and we will always owe him and his family a debt of gratitude.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)
We are praying for the families of the victims of yesterday’s heinous mass shooting which killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego – the city’s largest mosque.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)
For the EIGHTH time, we will be bringing our War Powers Resolution to the floor to end Trump’s war with Iran. Republicans have a choice to stop catering to Trump and end this deeply unpopular war. They must vote yes.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 19(source)
Nearly 2 BILLION dollars for his MAGA slush fund, a billion more for his gilded ballroom, and NOT ONE serious plan to lower costs for the families forced to pay the bill.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 14(source)
Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 14(source)
Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 14(source)
The Trump administration has put working Americans in an untenable economic situation. If Ballroom Republicans won’t think about the suffering of the American people, then they better start thinking long and hard about their own political futures.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.govMay 13(source)
It was an incredible honor to meet with the crew of Artemis II today. This team is the best of America and an inspiration to billions around the globe. And for once, Senator Mark Kelly wasn’t the only astronaut in the room!
