Sen. SCHUMER on Democrats’ momentum confirming judges:
Everyone should “be prepared” for another late night tomorrow to get “as many judges done as possible.”
I'm proud of the judges we’ve confirmed.
We have more judges from consumer protection, civil rights, voting rights backgrounds.
We’ve confirmed more women and people of color.
All are highly qualified, and their broad experience and expertise is an additional asset to the bench.
North Carolina voters have spoken and Justice Allison Riggs has been elected to keep her seat on the NC Supreme Court! This is a huge win for our state. Let this race serve as a reminder that every vote counts!

Running Medicare and Medicaid for over 100 million Americans isn't like hosting a daytime talk show.
Dr. Oz is another rich guy who doesn't care if your health care costs go up or an insurance company denies you coverage. These decisions have life and death consequences.

Thanks to our CHIPS and Science Act and our Inflation Reduction Act, we have more than doubled factory construction spending, brought manufacturing jobs back home, and secured American supply chains.
What I find most interesting about all this is that trans women have been using women's restrooms in the Capitol and the House and Senate office buildings and the White House and the Pentagon for many years now, including during all four years of the Trump Administration.
Under Donald Trump's leadership, trans women were permitted to use women's restrooms in federal buildings in D.C. and there was never any issue.
In the four years that Rep. Nancy Mace has been in Congress, she's known that trans women use women's restrooms in federal buildings in D.C. and it's never been an issue for her. Not once. In all this time.
Until the first openly-trans person was elected to Congress. Then it suddenly became an issue.
Doesn't it seem like this is an incredibly cynical attempt to manufacture outrage and divide people over something that hasn't been a problem?
Funny how you want to “protect women” but ain’t got shit to say about the (alleged) rapist that could be the Secretary of Defense or the possible AG that (allegedly) paid to have sex with a 17 year old.
You ‘bout 20 tweets in going in on a trans woman that was ELECTED, exhibiting classless behavior to perform.
