Chuck Schumer

Democrats stood strong, and Donald Trump got nothing.

Reading Trump’s "Mean Tweets":

A headline from the AP reads: "Senate heads home with no deal to speed confirmations as irate Trump tells Schumer to 'go to hell'"

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.

A headline from the AP reads: "Senate heads home with no deal to speed confirmations as irate Trump tells Schumer to 'go to hell'"

Donald Trump caved and got nothing.

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: “Senator 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!!!”

The Art of the Deal.

NEW: Senate Democrats took to the Senate floor today to force Senate Republicans to answer for Trump’s coverup of the Epstein crisis and crimes.

$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.

We’re using a NEW TOOL to pry the Epstein Files from Donald Trump and Pam Bondi.

The Rule of Five.

Here’s how it works:

Senate Democrats Try to Force Release of Epstein Files With Little-Known Law

A headline from the New York Times reads: “Senate Democrats Try to Force Release of Epstein Files with Little-Known Law”

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.

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.

House Republicans ran out of town on the Epstein Recess.

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

House Republicans knew this and left town?!

Maybe Speaker Johnson declared the Epstein Recess to give Trump time to prepare papers for the pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Disgraceful.

And what Republicans are doing instead of working on the government funding deadline coming up quickly?

Senate Republicans are trying to rush through Trump’s henchman Emil Bove.

And House Republicans are trying to slink out of town to cover up the Epstein files they’ve promised to deliver.

Senator Thune is out on Fox News asking for more bipartisanship after passing the Big, Ugly Betrayal and after jamming through a hyper-partisan rescissions package designed by Russell Vought?

What a joke.

THE SENATE DEMOCRATS WALKED OUT OF THE JUDICIARY HEARING WHEN SENATE REPUBLICANS TRIED TO FORCE THROUGH EMIL BOVE.

He’s unfit to be the nominee. He’s probably the most scandal-ridden nominee in modern history. He’s just a Trump lackey.

The FCC is investigating CBS’s interview with Harris but not Fox News’s misleading edits to its Trump interview about the Epstein files. This is an outrageous double standard.
@schumer.senate.gov and I are calling on the FCC to end its politically motivated investigations.

It’s past midnight, and Democrats aren’t letting up.

We’re introducing amendment after amendment to fight the Trump-MAGA-Senate Republican cuts, their cuts public broadcasting that Americans need, and their cuts to foreign aid that helps keep Americans safe.

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.

Today on the Senate floor, Democrats are exposing this damaging Republican rescissions package that is designed to hurt the American people—all so billionaires and special interests pay less in taxes.

We’re using amendments to hold Republicans accountable for this awful bill.

After I demanded an investigation into what role the Trump staff cuts played in the response to the horrible tragedy in Texas, Trump threw a fit.

Now we know why:

Trump and Noem fired key personnel at FEMA, weakening America's disaster response ecosystem.

A headline from CBS News reads: “Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI”

The week after Grok went full antisemitic and called itself “MechaHitler”, this is what Trump announces?!
