Official Account of Senator Chuck Schumer, New York’s Senator and the Senate Democratic Leader.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump just did what dictators throughout history have done. 

@realDonaldTrump - this is a democracy. You will not be able to manipulate the news or hide the truth.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

JUST IN: Trump says he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, and that he will be banning additional news outlets soon.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Why isn't Trump protecting us from ridiculous gas prices?

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Why isn't Obama protecting us from ridiculous gas prices?

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Congratulations to J. Michael Haynie on his inauguration as Syracuse University’s 13th Chancellor & President. 

From Micron’s historic megafab to educating our next gen of leaders to supporting NY’s veterans, I’m proud of all we have achieved and look forward to building on that work in the years ahead. Go Orange!

[Syracuse University @SyracuseU]

Earlier this week, Chancellor Haynie spent some time walking around campus asking students for advice as a new chancellor 🎤

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

For the first time in 3 years, the Fed raised interest rates to fight rising inflation thanks to Trump's tariffs and his war in Iran

@SenateGOP even had a chance to support my bill to end Trump’s costly tariff tax—instead they blocked it.

Trump and the GOP are doing nothing to lower costs. They couldn't care less.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Spoken like a billionaire who’s never filled his own gas tank a day in his life.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump keeps trying to downplay the cost of his Iran war but it has cost everyday Americans over $100 BILLION in inflated gas prices.

@SenateDems will keep fighting to pass our War Powers Resolution to bring our troops home, and to lower costs for the American people.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Another chance to start a new, $100+ billion endless foreign war?
Another chance to send diesel costs skyrocketing to all-time highs?
Another chance to send gas prices above $4/gal?
Another chance to strip health care from millions of Americans?
Another chance to implement tariffs that have done nothing but hurt American consumers?
Another chance to cut SNAP benefits for children?
Another chance to turn the DOJ and FCC into your personal attack dogs?
Another chance to do nothing about AI regulation?
Another chance to enrich yourselves as the economy stagnates and real wages fall?
Another chance to pass your failed voter suppression bill?

I have a feeling the American people will pass.

Vance's midterms pitch: "Give us another chance. Give us another couple of years"

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump can put whoever he wants in charge of the Fed, but the same inescapable truth remains:

His economy is awful, and it’s getting worse by the day.

The Fed hiking rates was the inevitable result of his failures and will raise Americans’ costs in countless ways.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

BREAKING: The Fed raises interest rates to battle inflation, defying Trump’s call for a cut. https://t.co/2ddTNX4Ltp

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

We’re STILL paying the price for Trump’s incompetence seven months into a disastrous war with Iran that he said would only take days.

It has cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars and unnecessarily endangered our troops.

This is disgraceful—@SenateDems will soon force another vote on our War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war and get our troops out of harm’s way.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Today, I will move to pass my End Trump’s Tariffs Tax Act to stop the president from bleeding Americans dry with skyrocketing costs.

Groceries, gas, essential goods—you name it, Americans are paying more because of Trump.

So, @SenateGOP: are you finally going to put your foot down and stop Trump’s tariff war, or will you keep going along with the mess he has created? Americans will be watching.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The biggest, whiniest, most pathetic crybaby on Planet Earth.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the many contributions of Hispanic Americans in shaping the history, culture, and resilience of New York and the entire country.

America’s strength is rooted in our diversity. Now, more than ever, we must fight intolerance and extremist views and push for policies that expand opportunities for all Americans.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The unchecked danger of catastrophic risks from AI is a serious problem that demands action.

The Trump administration must come before the Senate immediately for a classified briefing on these risks and the steps being taken to protect Americans.

The American people deserve answers.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

And sometimes a wedding gift is a bribe from a foreign autocrat.

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

"sometimes a [$170,000] wedding gift is simply a wedding gift"

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The Trump family's corruption could not get any more shameless.

On the same day Trump shamefully blamed Ukraine for high gas prices caused by his own war, it comes out that a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin footed the bill for Don Jr's wedding expenses.

More evidence that the Trumps are in Putin’s pocket.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump: you lost another one.

The President’s attempt to screw around with vote by mail was obscene. Finally, his scheme is dead. 

This was one of the most important cases to protect voting rights before the Supreme Court.

Trump’s plan to make it harder to vote was obviously unconstitutional. The Supreme Court had no choice but to make the right decision.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The Supreme Court blocked a Trump administration plan to dramatically change mail-in voting for the midterms. Follow live updates. https://t.co/OzdaHgBhvh

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump's newest LIE: Somehow, Ukraine is responsible for diesel prices hitting a record high.

Americans know it’s Trump and his war with Iran that's driving up costs.

No amount of Trump's finger-pointing and lies can erase his disaster of an economy.

Even if we did have a high-IQ president right now (and we don't), it wouldn't be enough.

We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to AI. The warning signs have never been clearer.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

President Trump rejects the idea of placing guardrails on artificial intelligence, saying in a Truth Social post that the only control needed is “a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” https://t.co/rbtwDmXVYy

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

NEW 🚨 I’m calling on the Trump admin to provide an all-Senators briefing on the dangers of unchecked AI development—and to explain its lack of action to protect our country.

We need a full accounting of their framework for testing AI models.

We need clear answers on how we’ll defend against AI-enabled cyberattacks.

And we need to know the steps being taken to prevent China from accessing our most advanced AI chips and equipment.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

We will not allow Donald Trump and his cronies to meddle in our elections and escape accountability from voters.

A DHS whistleblower has come forward to report illegal, deceptive, and reckless practices that the Trump DHS is undertaking ahead of the midterm elections. @SenAlexPadilla and I are demanding that DHS immediately shut this initiative down and give Congress answers about what it is doing

Trump is willing to go to extreme lengths to interfere in these elections. We will go to every length necessary to protect them.
