We get that Democrats want to show they’re mad at President Trump, but it’s pretty telling that they chose to hurt Israel — and Americans — to do it. That is, by blocking the bill to slap sanctions on officials at the rabidly anti-American, anti-Israel International Criminal Court. Mind you, many Dems backed the bill: 45 voted for it in the House, and some in the Senate were set to support it, too. But they’re clearly peeved about Trump’s executive orders, particularly one freezing federal aid, and some openly declared their “nay” was their way of showing it. “Donald Trump...

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said President Donald Trump’s newly imposed tariffs will impact the price of Super Bowl party staples this Sunday and could cost families an average of $1,200 a year. Speaking from his Manhattan office on Sunday, Schumer said the tariffs on Mexico will ramp up the price of beer and guacamole ingredients like avocados and limes

The NYPD wasn’t playing around with a group of anti-Israel protesters who brought their children Saturday to demonstrate outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn home. About 60 people gathered for what was billed as a “rage playdate” outside Schumer’s Prospect Park West building, where they had coloring pages about “Zionist bullies” and plead for President-elect Donald Trump to defund the Jewish state. But the NYPD quickly moved the protesters away and blocked off the street because the agitators had not gotten a permit. Parents clashed with officers, calling them “dictators” and yelling “KKK NYPD.” “I will sue the s–t out of...

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) acknowledged Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s victory over incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), undercutting Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Casey who continue to deny the election results.The Associated Press (AP) called the race for McCormick Thursday after the few remaining votes left to be counted do not present Casey with a path to victory.McCormick leads by almost 40,000 votes, but Manchin is the first member of Schumer’s Democrat Caucus to acknowledge the inevitable.“While we are losing a good person and colleague in Senator Bob Casey, I believe the Senate will be gaining another good man...

VIDEOIn Stalin's time you didn't want to be the first one to stop clapping. Times have changed. Nowadays you don't want to embarrass yourself by being the first one to start clapping.

Democrats have made clear that if they win the presidency and Congress in November, they will attempt to take over the Supreme Court as well. Shortly after ending his re-election campaign, President Biden put forth a package of high-court “reforms,” including term limits and a “binding” ethics code designed to infringe on judicial authority. Kamala Harris quickly signed on, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has made clear that bringing the justices to heel is a top priority. That increasingly muscular exercises of executive power have accompanied the left’s ascendance in the Democratic Party coalition is no coincidence. The legislative process...

The bill also declares that presidents, vice presidents, and former presidents and vice presidents “shall not be entitled to any form of immunity … from criminal prosecution for alleged violations of the criminal laws of the United States unless specified by Congress.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said there are plans to roll out major overhauls to the Supreme Court if Democrats win control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. Calls for implementing stricter rules for the Supreme Court from the Left have escalated in recent years, as complaints about alleged corruption and ethical lapses have plagued Republican-appointed justices. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been targeted by campaigns calling into question their relationships with GOP megadonors and their wives’ political involvement.“The Supreme Court has become a morass, both ethically and substantively,” Schumer told NBC News. “We’re...

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 is being slammed as a traitor following damning claims he instructed administrators at Columbia University to dismiss any criticism of the school’s handling of blatant violence and antisemitism on campus in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. The GOP-lead House Education and Workforce Committee in a 325-page report contended the New York Democrat advised then-university president Minouche Shafik that the school would be spared any scrutiny by Democrats, explaining the elite university’s “political problems are really only among Republicans.”His staff then encouraged Columbia administrators that the “best strategy is to keep...

As Twitchy readers know, Kamala Harris skipped the Al Smith dinner. Of note, she is the first presidential candidate to do so in 40 years (since Walter Mondale skipped in 1984) which is really not a great look for a candidate many people already don't like or trust. Chuck Schumer must know this because he tried smoothing things over with Cardinal Dolan about her missing the dinner. In other words, he gossiped about Kamala behind her back to make excuses for why she wasn't there. And gave up a bit too much info that Dolan was more than happy to...

Chuck Schumer is doing us a favor. Often, parties try to obscure or deny their radical plans prior to an election, but the Senate majority leader is being more candid. In a session with reporters at the Democratic National Convention, Schumer (D-NY) suggested that — should Democrats win the White House, Senate and House in November — he would seek to end the filibuster for purposes of passing voting rights and abortion legislation. This would be an inflection point in American government. There’s no nuking the legislative filibuster a little bit. The end run around the Senate’s long-standing requirement for...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer unwittingly became the victim of a photo op set up in New York City during the Dominican Day Parade when a random citizen asked for a quick video with him. Schumer smiled as the man approached him, assuming he was a supporter. However, as soon as Schumer’s face was in the shot, he was delivered the brutal truth.

The enthusiasm among Democrats for Vice President Kamala Harris stepping in to run at the top of the Democrat ticket instead of President Joe Biden is “palpable,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claims, despite initial polling showing that less than half believe Harris should be the one to replace Biden in the race. Biden remained obstinate for weeks after his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump, refusing to drop out of the race despite pleas from Democrats. At the time, Biden even sent a letter to congressional Democrats, stating, “I wouldn’t be running again if I did...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer falsely claimed Sunday that he refused to shake Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hand during his address to Congress last week because of “serious disagreements” over policy. A photograph and video footage of Schumer meeting with Netanyahu privately before the speech, released by Netanyahu’s office, show him shaking Netanyahu’s hand. Schumer simply refused to repeat the cordial gesture in public. Viewers watching Netanyahu’s address noted that Schumer pointedly refused to shake Netanyahu’s hand as he walked down the aisle of the House chamber toward the podium.

No one clapped when Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) formally and emphatically offered his support — and that of fellow Democrats — for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee in place of President Joe Biden, and the awkward moment went viral following his announcement Tuesday in a press conference. “President Biden’s selfless decision has given the Democratic Party the opportunity to unite behind a new nominee. And boy, oh boy, are we enthusiastic,” Schumer said at the beginning of the press conference, asserting that Harris has successfully earned the support of Democrats for the nomination, bizarrely claiming that this...

Is Joe Biden close to dropping out? Those chances shot up to 50 percent after the proverbial dam appeared to have broken yesterday. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) called on Biden to exit the race, with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Reps. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) echoed those sentiments. They showed him polls highlighting the president’s inability to win and Biden becoming a weight on the entire party. NEW — "According to my sources, President Biden agreed to step down as the Democratic nominee. It will happen as early as this weekend..."- Mark Halperin on Newsmax just now pic.twitter.com/89vkN7VV0Q—...

As President Joe Biden flies back to Delaware from Las Vegas on Wednesday night, cutting his trip short after testing positive for Covid-19, he faces one of the most momentous decisions of his long political life: Should he heed the rising calls from his fellow Democrats to extinguish his bid for reelection? For Biden, is it a new moment? Even though anger and panic have been steadily rising inside the Democratic Party for nearly three weeks, after the president’s alarming debate performance in Atlanta, the White House and the Biden campaign are in a new place, multiple Democratic officials told...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, in separate private meetings with President Biden last week, told Biden his continued candidacy imperils the Democratic Party’s ability to control either chamber of Congress next year. In a separate one-on-one conversation, a person close to Biden told the president directly that he should end his candidacy, saying that was the only way to preserve his legacy and save the country from another Trump term, the person said. The president responded that he adamantly disagreed with that opinion and that he is the best candidate to defeat Trump....

Dozens of Israel supporters protested outside “traitor” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office in Manhattan on Friday, calling on him to resign for “backstabbing” Israel and allegedly staying silent as antisemitism rages across college campuses. The demonstration came days after the New York senator told reporters he has “faith” in President Biden’s decision to withhold weapons for Israel’s invasion of Rafah, a move the protesters strongly condemned. “Schumer, the doomer! It’s time to resign!” yelled the crowd of about 40 protesters outside his Midtown office.
