Democrats stood strong, and Donald Trump got nothing.

I’m closely monitoring reports of an earthquake in the New York and New Jersey area and praying everyone is safe. Please follow local guidance and stay alert for possible aftershocks.

Donald Trump’s style:

Posture
Cajole
Stamp your feet
… and then give up

Let me clear what happened:

Donald Trump attempted to steamroll the Senate to put in place his historically unqualified nominees.

But Senate Democrats wouldn’t let him.

A post from Donald Trump reads: β€œSenator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees, who should right now be helping to run our Country. This demand is egregious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing to the Republican Party if it were accepted. It is political extortion, by any other name. Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL! Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country. Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

$200 million for Trump’s large, fancy White House ballroom.

That’s what DOGE was for.

Not to save money for you.

To give money for some fancy place for Trump.

The Rule of Five:

Federal law requires government agencies to provide information if any five members of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee request it.

And we’re using it to force Trump and Bondi to release the Epstein files to us.

At a time when our democracy is already at risk, Republicans are making it harder for people to vote, and trying to revert to Jim Crow.

That's why we’re working to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, to fight for, and to protect our democracy.

Let me be clear: Trump sending his personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell stinks of high corruption and conflict of interest.

25.07.2025 01:07 β€” πŸ‘ 397    πŸ” 108    πŸ’¬ 294    πŸ“Œ 27

Senate Republicans are just straight up saying it on the Senate floor:

They are blocking the release of the Epstein files to give Trump cover.

24.07.2025 19:08 β€” πŸ‘ 430    πŸ” 180    πŸ’¬ 108    πŸ“Œ 12

House Republicans ran out of town on the Epstein Recess.

Senate Republicans are rushing to block the files from being released.

24.07.2025 17:43 β€” πŸ‘ 124    πŸ” 36    πŸ’¬ 43    πŸ“Œ 1

Republican Senator Collins gave up on her own amendment to block the cuts to public broadcasting, protect public health funding, and stand up for funding for NATO and Ukraine.

So Senate Democrats just put it on the Senate floor.

17.07.2025 05:01 β€” πŸ‘ 133    πŸ” 34    πŸ’¬ 40    πŸ“Œ 3

Democrats are continuing to put amendment after amendment on the Senate floor to fight back against this damaging Republican bill that will defund public broadcasting that Americans rely on for critical local news and defund foreign aid that’s vital to American national security.

90 days ago today: Trump promised the world that his tariffs would lead to 90 deals in 90 days.

By my count, he’s at least 88 trade β€œdeals” short…

Senate Democrats areΒ committed today and every day to fighting for our democracy and for our rights, like all those who’ve come before us.

In July and August, we will take the next phase of this fight to every state and every district pointing out on the ground just how much Republicans have betrayed their constituents.

03.07.2025 17:45 β€” πŸ‘ 122    πŸ” 16    πŸ’¬ 81    πŸ“Œ 13

BIG: Rep. Jeffries has broken the record for the longest speech on the House floor fighting this betrayal by Republicans.

Democrats in the Senate and House have now held the floor in each chamber showing just how much Republicans are betraying America.

03.07.2025 17:45 β€” πŸ‘ 302    πŸ” 51    πŸ’¬ 155    πŸ“Œ 14

Today, Senate Republicans betrayed the American people.

Republicans seem more outraged by my floor speech than by stripping health care from 16 million Americans.

@schumer.senate.gov is leading Senate Democrats in fighting against the Big Beautiful Betrayal.

We are forcing votes on amendments that will show whether Republicans will stand up for hungry children and rural hospitals, or betray them.

I just put up an amendment to the Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill that says something simple:

If people's healthcare costs go up, the billionaire tax cuts vanish.

The Republicans tried to shout me down.

And then they voted it down.

The American people will not forget.
