The Montgomery Bus Boycott began 69 years ago today, and resulted in the Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional. Every day, we continue the fight for civil rights championed by activists like Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and many more.

Ryan Corbett has been unjustly held by the Taliban for over two years. He’s an incredible humanitarian who calls Western New York home. I met today with his wife Anna to talk about how we’re continuing to fight to bring Ryan home to his family.
Senator Schumer meets with Anna Corbett, December 5, 2024.
I’ve been pressing Senator John Thune for a regular advice and consent process for every nominee. That means: Full FBI investigations Senate hearings Votes on the floor Now at least the transition is beginning to look at FBI investigations. But we must have them for all nominees.
Congress should make the economy work better for the middle class—not make the working class work harder to get ahead. Rather than making sure that corporations and billionaires pay their fair share, Donald Trump wants to give them an even bigger share. www.budget.senate.gov/chairman/new...
The Senate has just moved forward on the nomination of Sarah Davenport to be a District Court judge for the District of New Mexico! And we will keep working to confirm more.
Americans were not fooled by the first Trump tax scam—and they won’t be fooled by the second one. This report should be a flashing red light for all Republicans planning another tax giveaway for the wealthiest few—it means fewer jobs and slower growth. www.budget.senate.gov/chairman/new...
The Senate confirmed Elizabeth Coombe as a District Court judge to the Northern District of NY. She was a trailblazing prosecutor in Albany and Syracuse.

BIG: The Senate just confirmed Anthony Brindisi to the Northern District of NY! Anthony is a former member of Congress, and a proud son of Utica. He's a qualified attorney whose legal acumen and love for Upstate NY will make him an excellent addition to the Northern District.
