Free Republic

UNHINGED: @SenSchumer says "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" if we pass the largest tax cut in history, block illegals from taxpayer-funded health care, and cut the deficit. These are NOT serious people.

I was under the illusion that with Donald Trump back in charge and the wind at his back Washington Republicans might actually take off the gloves and say eff-it and take on the swamp. With the failures inherent in the Big Beautiful Bill, it appears I was wrong. I don’t blame Trump. This abysmal betrayal of the American people was written in the halls of Congress… The Republicans in Congress talk a good game, but when it comes to actually doing what they say they’re going to do, it turns out they’re really snake oil salesmen. Not that this is...

Former President Obama on Sunday responded to news of former President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis by expressing confidence in his former vice president’s “trademark resolve and grace.” He also pointed to the work Biden has done to advance cancer research. […] Biden led the Obama administration’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, which aimed to accelerate cancer research, improve prevention and treatment strategies, foster greater collaboration in the medical research space and improve access to care. Biden relaunched the initiative during his term as president. …

A new book revealed that aides to Kamala Harris secretly planned for the possibility of Joe Biden's death in office as early as 2023, further fueling concerns over the former president's age and fitness for office. Questions about Biden's ability to serve another term grew throughout his presidency, with critics pointing to his advanced age and moments of confusion. Despite mounting concerns, Biden and his team insisted he was fit for re-election. However, behind closed doors, Democratic officials reportedly held secret discussions about contingency plans in case Biden had to withdraw or was unable to complete his term, the Guardian...

A former top staffer in the Biden White House said on Fox News Sunday that former First Lady Jill Biden’s strategy to prop up former President Joe Biden in public is only harming the Biden legacy. Michael LaRosa, who served as a longtime press secretary to Jill Biden, admitted that Biden’s team is mishandling the fallout regarding his cognitive decline and Joe Biden’s initial decision to seek reelection in 2024. Despite his affection for the Bidens, the former aide urged Jill and Joe Biden to reconsider how they are handling media appearances in the post-presidency period because their current strategy...

Democrats are not moved by former FBI Director James Comey’s beachcombing, social media post apparently calling for the assassination of President Trump. Try finding a Democrat condemning it. In fact, The Federalist specifically asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar if they planned to condemn Comey’s post. No response. Comey’s post was a photo of seashells in the sand set in the formation of numbers “86 47” captioned, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” Of course, 47 is a nickname for President Donald Trump, the...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday attempted to trash President Trump over bogus poll numbers. The fake news media attacked President Trump this week with reports claiming he has the lowest 100 day approval rating in 80 years. “Twice as many people said President Trump deserves a grade of F rather than an A for how he’s handled his first 100 days in office, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll,” NPR reported. “Forty-five percent said Trump deserves the failing mark, compared to 23% who would pass him with flying colors. It’s understandable that partisans would have strongly polarized...

Chuck Schumer announces that the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote nationwide, is DONE. Won't go to Trump's desk. DOA. It needs 60 votes. Schumer turned around, looked at Republicans, and gloated as he said this.

Karoline Leavitt went off during a press briefing on Tuesday, calling out the hypocrisy in the Democratic Party over President Trump’s tariffs and using their own words against them. Tariffs on trade partners, including 104% tariffs against China, will go into effect tonight at midnight after they retaliated against discounted reciprocal tariffs, and President Trump punched back hard. Trump announced 34% tariffs against China and other “discounted reciprocal” tariffs against dozens of U.S. trading partners during his Make America Wealthy Again Event last Wednesday, April 2. The White House has long referred to this date as “Liberation Day.” Because of...

What changed? In 2005, Chuck Schumer passionately advocated for a 27.5 percent tariff on China, calling their trade policies unfair and saying it had to end. He was saying the exact same thing Trump is saying now, but ultimately the Democrats under Obama and Biden did nothing about it. Schumer urged that such a large tariff on Chinese goods “says to the Chinese that their unfair trade policies have got to end. The Chinese have enjoyed a huge trade surplus with the U.S. Every year it gets larger and larger.” Schumer had joined forces with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham to...

The world’s richest man is dying to figure out how lawmakers on Capitol Hill got “strangely wealthy” despite their comparatively modest public salaries. Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin Sunday night, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate how certain members of Congress have achieved generational wealth. One attendee at the town hall had asked Musk if DOGE had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “They’ll [the government]...

Sara Haines, co-host of The View, has warned that the Democratic Party’s unhinged screaming and volatile behavior at rallies is not fixing the country and is making things worse for them. Whoopi Goldberg noted that progressive leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., are engaging at rallies “at a moment when leadership roles on the left are wide open.” Goldberg also recalled how Sanders showed in his recent interview that he was “not ready to talk about future party planning yet.” Sanders recently accused ABC “This Week” host Jonathan Karl of asking a “nonsense” question about...

President Trump and his team have been obstructed by multiple federal judges while trying to implement his agenda. The team has expressed frustration with a number of activist judges, and they have been vocal about that frustration. Chief Justice John Roberts tried to post support for the independence of the judiciary. But his post is belied by the facts. Senator Chuck Schumer told us the plan last fall was obstruction, and he reaffirmed that this week. So, if Democrats are counting on activist judges to slow the MAGA agenda, then they are not acting according to Article 3 authority, and...

When asked if he agrees with scholars who say the U.S. is in a constitutional crisis, Schumer responded, “Yes, I do.” “And democracy is at risk. Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man. He thinks he should be king. He thinks he should do whatever he wants, regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker. The full interview will air on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just admitted on PBS that Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 “progressive judges” in order to stop President Donald Trump “time after time after time.” Since President Trump triumphantly returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, his administration has faced an all-out legal assault — not from Congress or the will of the American people — but from a weaponized judicial branch hijacked by radical leftists. In just under two months, President Trump has been hit with 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved. And now, Chuck Schumer has admitted it all...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing a rebellion over his decision to help pass a six-month spending bill to avert a federal shutdown last week— and Republicans have noted that one of Democratic megadonor George Soros’ groups is helping to lead the charge. Indivisible, an activist hub that has received more than $7.6 million since 2017 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, has called for Schumer to step down for helping pass the bill and is hosting a virtual event Saturday in which activists are encouraged to write happy retirement cards to the Brooklyn Democrat. “The Democrats will have an...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that “Columbia didn’t do enough” to combat antisemitism but the Trump administration cutting off $400 million in funding to the school “is outrageous. It’s just aimed at the universities. If you have some instance where someone didn’t do something about antisemitism and should have, go after that person or that group, but this is aimed at hurting universities, and I think it’s spreading and I think it’s very, very wrong.” Host Chris Hayes asked, “Do you think this is a good faith attempt to deal...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown. Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill. “I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other...
