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

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Donald Trump is trying to cast doubt on 2020 to justify interfering in 2026. We see what he is doing and it will not work. Stay vigilant.

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

Donald Trump’s spiral continues. The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights. This is a disaster for Trump puppet Mike Collins. Already mired in scandal, Mike will now have to double down on conspiracy theories toxic in the General Election. From the start, Trump’s obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat. I'm asking concerned citizens nationwide to join me and support our voter protection efforts in Georgia.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud:

He has no issue with shutting the federal government down to force through his voter suppression bill to disenfranchise millions of American citizens.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Acting AG Todd Blanche has spent this confirmation fight doing what he's always done for his client Donald Trump:

Denying the obvious, defending the indefensible, and lying under oath.

He's already made it clear that we can’t trust a word that comes out of his mouth.

Donald Trump's so-called “understanding” with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry.

The House and Senate both voted to remove our forces from harm’s way and end this war now. Trump must comply.

Enough is enough. End the war.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Another person killed by ICE agents, this time in Maine. His family deserves answers.

We need a complete, independent, and transparent investigation immediately.

[Priscilla Alvarez @priscialva]

News: In a follow up conversation between Senator King and DHS Secretary Mullin today, the secretary shared the man fatally shot in Maine was "NOT the target of the warrant," according to King's office. https://t.co/uCDNJBou94

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

BREAKING: We just got a big win against Trump’s two-billion-dollar taxpayer-funded MAGA slush fund and his family’s sweetheart tax fraud deal.

The American people knew it was patently corrupt. Yet Republicans blocked every single Democratic effort to unwind it, choosing Trump���s corrupt deal over the American taxpayer.

Democrats will continue to fight against Trump and his family’s blatant corruption by all means possible.

Breaking news: A federal judge ruled President Trump’s IRS lawsuit, which led to a now-abandoned proposal for a $1.8 billion payout fund, was filed for an “improper purpose” and referred the attorneys involved for potential disciplinary proceedings. https://t.co/Phaeo9GQLm

Donald Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens.

If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.

TRUMP WARNS OF SEPTEMBER GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN UNLESS SENATE ENDS FILIBUSTER

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump is one of the weakest, most thin-skinned individuals the world has ever seen. 

Reporters have the right and duty to report the truth. It’s not their fault his foreign-gifted plane is a national security threat. 

This subpoena is a gross overreach and a disgusting misuse of federal law enforcement resources that should alarm every American.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Trump administration issued subpoenas to New York Times journalists who wrote about the new Air Force One, an escalation of pressure on the media. https://t.co/8cXYSuSSy4

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Millions of Americans are being crushed by housing costs.

Donald Trump called their crisis “a big yawn”—then refused to sign the most significant bipartisan housing bill in decades.

His priorities couldn’t be clearer: higher costs for families and more power for himself.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats."

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump said Republicans should “take over the voting.” Today, he took another step toward doing exactly that.

Firing every remaining member of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission months before the midterms is a brazen attempt to seize control of our elections before a single vote is cast. He is gutting the independent agency that certifies voting systems and helps election officials run secure elections.

Senate Democrats will fight this power grab at every turn. The American people—not Donald Trump—will decide the 2026 election.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms.

Mission accomplished, @realDonaldTrump...

CHICAGO (AP) — US home prices hit an all-time high as sales slow and mortgage rates rise.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump’s shameless self-enrichment has turned into a serious national security threat. His rampant, reckless, and rotten corruption comes at a real cost to our safety and Americans’ bank accounts.

A year ago, I warned that this $400 million Qatari jet was not simply the largest, most corrupt foreign bribe to an American president in history – it was also a grave national security risk. That’s why I introduced the Presidential Airlift Security Act, which would prohibit the use of any foreign plane to be utilized as Air Force One.

Republicans refused to join our effort to block taxpayer funding for the jet. They let the President waste nearly $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to retrofit and operate his luxury jet – and yet it’s still not secure.

When the Senate returns, we must pass the Presidential Airlift Security Act and ensure that not another cent goes toward maintaining Trump’s national security nightmare.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

The Secret Service advised that President Trump take the old Air Force One to leave Turkey on Wednesday instead of the new plane donated by Qatar, people briefed on the situation told CBS News, highlighting questions about the security of the president's new plane. https://t.co/Pxdwc3FHTo

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

There must be a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the shooting that led to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death.

ICE has routinely unleashed chaos and violence on our streets.

Democrats will keep fighting for reforms to rein in ICE and end the violence.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Ronaldo Salgado relayed his panicked search for his father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, as he joined local legislators and activists in calling for a full and transparent investigation into the killing on Tuesday in Houston. https://t.co/PcsLdIUvV0

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Republicans ended the ACA tax credits.

The result? A health care affordability crisis with no end in sight.

When Democrats take back the Senate, lowering your health care costs will be a top priority.

Donald Trump’s rambling, unhinged, confused performance this morning was an embarrassment to our country on the world stage.

Serving as Putin's mouthpiece, undermining our allies, and cheerleading for war — that is Donald Trump’s vision for our country.

In November, Americans will have a chance to take us down a very different path.

[Acyn @Acyn]

A very confused Trump:

We had 111 missiles shot by the islamic republic of Japan.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Donald Trump’s presidency is defined by destruction, chaos, illegal wars, and rising costs. 

He never had a serious plan for stopping his war. 

Senate Democrats remain united in our efforts to end this illegal war immediately and permanently.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: Is the ceasefire over? Is the MOU dead?

TRUMP: I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. Do you know what scum is? They're led by sick people. They're vicious, violent people. They're liars. They're cuckoo

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump DOJ’s campaign to subvert the election took another hit today, this time by a Trump-appointed judge. He found that the Trump DOJ’s staggeringly broad subpoena would “chill participation in future elections.”

This is an important win. But we know Trump will do whatever he can to rig the elections and that his attack dog at the DOJ, Todd Blanche, will do his bidding.

I will continue to lead Democrats in using every avenue to stop these anti-democratic efforts at every turn.
