The New York Times editorial board is calling on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her top two deputies to step aside and allow younger Democratic members to lead the caucus. The Times takes aim at Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Democratic Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., criticizing the trio for maintaining their power rather than preparing the next generation. "For too long, this regime has clung to power at the expense of future leaders," the Times editorial board writes. "Neither of Ms. Pelosi’s two chief deputies, Steny Hoyer, the party whip, and Jim Clyburn, the...

Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday floated that the Senate could force President Trump to name a moderate to the Supreme Court — if they reject his "extreme" nominee first. "If the Senate rejects an extreme candidate, it would present President Trump the opportunity to instead select a moderate, consensus nominee," Schumer wrote in a New York Times op-ed. With Republicans holding a slim 51-49 majority, Democrats don't have the ability to block whoever Trump nominates to fill the vacancy being created by Justice Anthony Kennedy's decision to retire at the end of the month. But because Republicans have...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Sunday she was surprised to see Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) criticize her for advocating to publicly confront Trump Cabinet officials, but noted that political leaders "will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.” “You know, I was surprised at Chuck Schumer, you know reached into the other house to do that,” Waters said when asked by MSNBC host Joy Reid if she was surprised to see leaders in her own party criticizing her. “I’ve not quite seen that done before. But one of the things I recognize, being an...

Big announcement & headline a few days back, Democrats, Ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer will be the major leaders campaigning non-stop to enable the Democrat Party to politically take over both, the House of Representatives & the United States Senate. It will be most interesting if Obama, Pelosi and Schumer will be able to hold the massively, successful, heavily attended political rallies in the same manner as our current POTUS, Donald J. Trump does over & over again, attracting highly motivated, positive, loyal supporters by the tens of thousands. Pelosi and Schumer have never come close...

Democratic lawmakers and candidates are increasingly seeking the elimination of Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of their suite of demands in D.C.'s heated border battle. The calls reflect not only the deepening divide between the two partisan poles on immigration -- with one side seeking a border wall, and the other looking to dismantle the lead enforcement agency -- but the growing influence of the progressive wing. More and more Democratic politicians have embraced such causes as 'Medicare for all' and a federal jobs guarantee. Now, they're getting behind the call to abolish ICE, with gusto. Perhaps no 2018...

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned President Trump and Republicans against nominating a Supreme Court justice to replace Anthony Kennedy prior to the 2018 election, and demanded they reject any nominee who would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. "[R]eproductive rights for women and countless other protections for middle-class Americans are at stake," Schumer said. He demanded that the Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, abide by the so-called Biden Rule when deciding to commence proceedings to confirm a Supreme Court pick. In 1992, then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) gave a speech calling for Congress to delay any prospective...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised the country Wednesday that a new justice will be confirmed to the Supreme Court this fall, setting out an ambitious goal for himself to approve a key seat with the narrowest of majorities. Democrats were already sounding obstructionist notes, however. Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said the Senate should wait until after this year’s election, giving voters a chance to weigh in on some of the senators who will confirm the next pick.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said calls for opponents of the Trump administration to publicly harass Cabinet members are “not American,” arguing Democrats should focus their energy on winning elections. “I strongly disagree with those who advocate harassing folks if they don't agree with you. ... No one should call for the harassment of political opponents. That's not right. That's not American,” Schumer said from the Senate floor. Schumer added that he understands the “frustrations” some members of his party feel when Trump “complains about bullying [and] harassment” even though the president uses it “as a regular...

Sen. Chuck Schumer used the occasion of Sunday’s NYC Pride March to announce that his daughter, Alison, will be marrying her fiancée, Elizabeth Weiland. The women plan to walk down the aisle on Nov. 18.

Sen. Chuck Schumer used the occasion of Sunday’s NYC Pride March to announce that his daughter, Alison, will be marrying her fiancée, Elizabeth Weiland. The women plan to walk down the aisle on Nov. 18. “Marching in the #NYCPride Parade has special meaning this year as I am marching with my daughter Alison and her wonderful fiancée Biz! #HappyPride,” tweeted the politician, who wore a lavender shirt to the pride parade.[SNIP]

It’s very sad that Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, want to protect illegal immigrants far more than the citizens of our country. The United States cannot stand for this. We wants safety and security at our borders!

New York Senator Chuck Schumer evidently had an “aha” moment following Hillary Clinton’s unexpected defeat by President Trump. He is certain that it was a message directly sent from “God.” It is evident, from his thought process, that Schumer believes the message translates to a push for a further fight against Trump.

This NY Times excerpt provided more insight on Schumer’s critical moment against Trump: “In an hourlong meeting on Capitol Hill with House Republicans, Mr. Trump declined to explicitly back either one, saying he would sign both bills. Republican leaders are trying to rally support for the compromise bill. “The president was very firm in explaining why it’s so important that he gets this bill to his desk so that we can solve some problems and secure our border,” said Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the Republican whip. He added, “We want to secure our border; we want to reunite kids....

Top congressional Democrats are demanding President Trump begin reuniting immigrant families who were separated under the administration's "zero tolerance" policy. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) released a letter to Trump on Thursday saying they were "deeply dismayed" that the administration hadn't started trying to reunite thousands of children separated from their families. "It seems that the administration lacks a plan, intention, and a sense of urgency to begin reuniting these children – many of whom have suffered serious emotional anguish – with their parents," the two Democratic leaders wrote in their letter....

This is an article last year June 6, 2017 and shows what an awful man this politician is. To wit:Democrat Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, just issued a very real threat against Barron Trump.Schumer is calling on the NYPD and the Federal Government to STOP providing a security detail for Barron as he attends school in New York City.{snip} Barron Trump is a target for no other reason than he's the President's son. And he deserves protection.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Tuesday that Democrats would reject legislation to address the crisis at the U.S-Mexico border, where children have been separated from adults after crossing illegally. “There are so many obstacles to legislation and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense,” Schumer said, as quoted by The Hill. “Legislation is not the way to go here when it’s so easy for the president to sign it.” The Hill‘s Alexander Bolton observed: “Schumer said [Democrats] want to keep the focus on Trump.”

The U.S. government’s policy detaining migrant parents while sheltering their children elsewhere is reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s slave-labor camps, according to a Tweet from former intelligence chief and NeverTrump activist Gen. Michael Hayden. Hayden, who ran the National Security Agency from 1999 to 2005, and was CIA director from 2006 to 2009, Tweeted an image of the entrance to the Birkenau slave-labor camp, with the comment “other governments have separated mothers and children.”

President Donald Trump attacked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday, saying the New York Democrat was wrong when he criticized the president's historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as "all hat and no cattle." "Thank you Chuck, but are you sure you got that right? No more nuclear testing or rockets flying all over the place, blew up launch sites," the president wrote on Twitter. "Hostages already back, hero remains coming home & much more!" Schumer, in a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday, questioned just what the U.S. gained from the summit. “The summit...

POTUS, Donald J. Trump, always the strategic thinker, is outsmarting the Democrat Party once again. Just as he did with his tax reform package and his meeting on Immigration with Democrats months back....he has them heading for a corner they cannot back out of, unless they to vote to pass "Trumps" immigration package. Not one Democrat voted "Yea" on Trump's tax reform package, or Trumps legislation that would have given legal status and citizenship to 1.8 million DACA folks. The Dems wanted a canpaign issue, instead. The Democrats are going wild over their newest tact for winning the Mid-Term elections...beating...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mangled a famous Texas saying while delivering a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday so badly that he unintentionally praised President Donald Trump for the outcome of the Singapore Summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. For generations, Texans have referred to a person who talks big but is unable to deliver as someone who is “all hat and no cattle.” New York’s left-wing “urban cowboy” reversed the words when he attempted to deliver what he intended to be a stinging rebuke of Trump’s historic accomplishments in Singapore on Tuesday. “This summit was much...
