🇺🇸🇻🇪 REMINDER: SCHUMER MOCKED TRUMP IN 2020 FOR NOT REMOVING MADURO "He brags about all these things he wants to do or is doing, but his actions belie his words. Maybe the best metaphor was his claim to bring democracy to Venezuela. There was a big policy there. It flopped. If the policy was working, Juan Guaido wouldn't be in the balcony here, he'd be in Venezuela. He'd be sitting in the president's palace or at least waging a fight to win. He's here. And the president brags about his Venezuela policy? Give us a break. He hasn't brought an...

And that's exactly what they have been doing. It's right out there in the open. https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/2006852882210128088Transcript "The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers, and all of them. Because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers, but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here."

Donald Trump is being taken back to court over his refusal to fully fund SNAP. He is creating a hunger crisis in America. All so that he can avoid reopening the government and fixing healthcare for millions of Americans. It’s horrific.

President Donald Trump canceled a meeting with top congressional Democrats on Tuesday over "unserious and ridiculous demands" as the deadline to fund the government fast approaches. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., were set to meet with Trump on Thursday to discuss a path forward to avert a partial government shutdown before the Sept. 30 deadline. Lawmakers are still away from Washington, D.C., this week to observe the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, and the Senate is expected to return on Sept. 29. Meanwhile, the House is expected to be out until the...

https://babylonbee.com/news/chuck-schumer-said-hes-never-felt-in-danger-walking-in-dc-and-neither-have-his-ten-body-guardsWASHINGTON, D.C. — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer disagreed with the president's assessment of D.C., saying he's never once felt in danger walking the ten minutes it takes to get to his car, and neither have any of his ten bodyguards."D.C. is one of the safest places in these beautiful United States, and I should know because when I walk to my car, I never feel threatened. And neither does my highly trained security detail, for that matter," Schumer told the press from a rolled-down car window. "This is just another example of Trump's divisive rhetoric."When pressed, Schumer admitted his...

Trump basically told Schumer to go to hell last night, after Schumer tried to extort money from Trump before removing Democratic Party blocking/delaying tactics of Trump nominees. Among the demands Schumer made were money for Gaza and NIH money for blue states with sanctuary cities etc. Worth noting that Trump has had 131 nominees confirmed already compared to 55 confirmed at this stage in the first Trump presidency, despite all the drama from the Democrats.

On Sunday, during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress. Host Dana Bash said, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) condemned President Trump’s move to fire more than a dozen watchdogs at several federal agencies overnight, calling it a “chilling purge.” “This is a chilling purge, and it’s a preview of the lawless approach Donald Trump and his administration is taking far too often as he is becoming President,” Schumer said on the Senate floor Saturday. “These dismissals are possibly in violation of federal law, which requires Congress to have a 30-day notice of any intent to fire inspectors general,” he added.

The second-biggest loser of the 2024 election is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is being demoted from the powerful Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate to the largely powerless Minority Leader. Schumer’s demotion to the minority status — which is shared by the other 46 Democrats — was smoothed by his support for President Joe Biden’s maximum-migration policy.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who will become the minority leader in January when a string of new Republicans are sworn in, encouraged Senate Republicans on Wednesday to pass bipartisan bills when they gain control of the upper chamber. Republicans flipped control of the Senate on Tuesday night, after taking seats from Democrats in West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana. The GOP is also leading in a Pennsylvania Senate race, that would oust incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. They additionally kept major contested seats in Texas and Nebraska. Schumer, who was not up for reelection, said Senate Democrats were still "committed"...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will introduce legislation Thursday reaffirming that presidents do not have immunity for criminal actions, an attempt to reverse the Supreme Court’s landmark decision last month. Schumer’s No Kings Act would attempt to invalidate the decision by declaring that presidents are not immune from criminal law and clarifying that Congress, not the Supreme Court, determines to whom federal criminal law is applied. The court’s conservative majority decided July 1 that presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken within their official duties — a decision that threw into doubt the Justice...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump picking Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate was “the best things he ever did for Democrats.” According to the New York Democrat, Trump could drop Vance from the GOP ticket.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Monday that he and other Senate Democrats will work to advance legislation to strip former President Trump of the immunity he was granted under a recent Supreme Court ruling protecting a president’s official acts from criminal prosecution. Schumer, invoking Congress’s powers to regulate the courts, said Democrats are working on legislation to classify Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election as “unofficial acts” so they do not merit immunity from criminal prosecution under the high court’s recent 6-3 decision. “They incorrectly declared that former President Trump enjoys broad immunity from...

Senate majority leader says Israeli prime minister has ‘lost his way’ and warns that country risks becoming ‘a pariah’ SNIP In remarks from the Senate floor, Schumer said he had a longstanding relationship with Netanyahu but believed he “has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of Israel”. Noting the prime minister’s inclusion of far-right officials in his government, Schumer said Netanyahu “has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah”. Israel’s...

The GOP’s demand for enforcement of U.S. border law is a “partisan” threat to worldwide democracy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a letter to the Senate. “We cannot let partisan politics get in the way of defending democracy; that would be playing right into the hands of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and [China President] Xi [Jinping],” Schumer said in the November 26 letter describing his plans for December.

Halloween may have come a little early for Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York as his words came back to haunt him on Friday the 13th. Remember last year when a draft of the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked, causing leftists to lose their collective head? Large groups of protesters gathered outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices for weeks, disrupting their lives and upsetting their families. Authorities even foiled an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a 26-year-old man enraged by the still-pending decision. When a reporter asked Schumer if...

The great sartorial scandal over John Fetterman's signature hoodie-and-shorts has now come to a close after the Senate unanimously passed a resolution enacting a formal dress code. The resolution, brought forth by fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin, W. Va., passed without a formal vote by unanimous consent and clarified that the Senate floor would have a formal dress code. Hours earlier, Fetterman had already announced he would wear a suit and tie while speaking or presiding over the Senate floor. Fetterman, like others, could still wear his trademark garb and vote from the cloak room on the edge of the...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) urged former President Trump and his supporters not to interfere with the legal process as it plays out in Georgia following Monday night’s indictment. “As a nation built on the rule of law, we urge Mr. Trump, his supporters, and his critics to allow the legal process to proceed without outside interference,” the top Democrats in Congress wrote in a joint statement issued late Monday. Their request comes after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) announced the fourth indictment against Trump since April. The 19 co-defendants...

Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) condemned former President Donald Trump on the Senate floor Monday for hosting Kanye West and “notorious bigot” Nick Fuentes for dinner, arguing that giving an antisemite “even the smallest platform” is “pure evil.” Schumer dedicated nearly two minutes on the Senate floor to discuss the “disgusting news” over Thanksgiving weekend that Trump dined with Fuentes and West at Mar-a-Lago.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said midterm voters “always cared about abortion” after reproductive rights proved to be a decisive factor for many midterm voters. Exit polls showed 27 percent of voters cited abortion as the single most important issue that informed their vote, just behind inflation at 31 percent. Schumer said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday that Democratic candidates up and down the ballot continued to campaign on abortion rights, even when polls indicated it was fading as a major issue for Americans. “It stayed in the hearts of the people,” Schumer said. “Abortion had always...
