Pardoning criminals who waved Confederate flags, donned Nazi symbols, assaulted police officers, and tried to halt the democratic process would be a dangerous endorsement of political violence.
We appreciate the service of law enforcement and our US Capitol Police to ensure that the process outlined in the Constitution may be followed no matter if you like the outcome of the election or not.
On this four-year anniversary of the US Capitol attack: We convened. We did our jobs. Now, we move on to the business of governing for the American people. Because that is what our oaths demand of us.
Today, we held a moment of prayer near the door where rioters first broke into the Capitol on January 6, 2021 We mourn the lives lost in connection to the attack We mourn the officers who died in the days, weeks, & months after the attack We pray for their families, that they find comfort and grace
Leader Schumer, Leader Jeffries, Representative Espaillat, and House Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben hold a moment of prayer on the four year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, January 6, 2025.
Future generations must never forget the truth. On January 6th, 2021, a violent mob tried to halt the results of a presidential election. It was a direct assault on American democracy.
I keep this vote tally card as a reminder of one of my proudest moments: When the majority of us united to finish the job of certifying the election and uphold our oaths to the Constitution.
January 6th, 2021 was one of the darkest days in the history of our democracy. That day, lawlessness and mob violence sought to bring democracy to its knees and halt the peaceful transfer of power.
Senator Schumer stands in his office next to the vote tally card from the January 6, 2021 election certification.
To Senator Thune: I'm calling for an all-Senators briefing on the horrific attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas to ensure all appropriate steps are being taken to provide enhanced security for the public events in the nation’s capital this month—including the inauguration.
Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sent this letter to Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) urging him to convene an all-Senators briefing on the recent horrific attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas to ensure that all appropriate steps are being taken to provide enhanced security for upcoming high profile events in the nation’s capital.
Senate Democrats stand united, not because of who we fight against, but because of who we are fighting for: We're here to fight for the American people. We're here to fight for the working class. We're here to build ladders of opportunity to the middle class.
I'm honored to welcome 6 new colleagues to the Democratic Caucus: Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego California Senator Adam Schiff Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin New Jersey Senator Andy Kim Let's get to work!
This group of Republican appointed judges are choosing to protect profits over middle-class people who rely on the internet for work and entertainment. It allows ISPs to give special breaks to big corporations while forcing American families to pay more.
The appeals court decision striking down Net Neutrality gives a green light to big internet service providers to gouge consumers and jack up their monthly bills.
We have confirmed more judges than the previous administration, something no one thought we could do! In fact, we confirmed more judges than under any administration going back decades.
President Biden, Senator Schumer, and Senator Durbin speak at the White House on confirming 235 judges.
