Official Account of Senator Chuck Schumer, New York’s Senator and the Senate Democratic Leader.

Gas before Trump’s illegal war with Iran: $2.98. Gas 233 days into Trump’s illegal war with Iran: $4.30. Americans have spent over $100 BILLION more on gas in that time. No amount of juvenile idiocy from Donald Trump will distract Americans from that fact.

Despite Trump’s claims, American families are paying the price for Trump and Republicans’ failed agenda. And they know who to blame.

.@SenSchumer is right to be worried. As early as this week, the FCC could unleash a flood of unwanted robocalls as voters are already inundated with this junk. The last thing people want just weeks before an election is their phones overrun with AI slop.
The FCC MUST reject the request made by a Republican group that would allow political groups to make robocalls to cell phones without people’s permission. Putting Americans in a position where they can be fed misinformation through AI-generated deception ahead of a crucial election is yet another attempt by Republicans to mislead voters. The risk here is severe: unleashing a Pandora’s box of election mis- and disinformation made more believable with AI. The approaching election is a reason to preserve safeguards, not suspend them. reuters.com/world/us/senator…

Trump just gave Putin the best birthday gift he’ll get this year. By giving the Russian economy life support Trump’s deal with the devil keeps getting dirtier.   There’s nothing America First about Trump caving in to Putin and exempting Russia from US sanctions.   Americans need relief from skyrocketing prices. Instead, Trump is aiding and abetting a dictator who has helped Iran target US troops in the Middle East.

More of Trump’s corruption costing families. Trump made millions on Big Pharma while protecting their profits, raising your prescription drug costs, and cutting your health care.    Democrats will fight to undo every single cut that jacked up your costs and boosted Donald Trump’s and Big Pharma’s bottom lines.  apnews.com/article/trump-hea…

Donald Trump is scared of the American people holding him accountable. Democrats will challenge this and continue to protect your right to free and fair elections.

I am incredibly alarmed about the alleged attempt by a white supremacist to commit an act of mass violence at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois, and I thank law enforcement for their swift response. Anti-Indian and anti-Hindu rhetoric is at an alarming level in America, and now we are seeing that hatred turn into violence. Bigotry against any community has no place in America, and I remain committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their race or religion, can live and practice their faith openly in our country.
Suburban police arrested a 19-year-old man Sunday, and he is now charged with making a terrorist threat and unlawful possession of weapons. Investigators he intended to kill as many minorities as possible, according to prosecutors. abc7chicago.com/post/palatin…

Donald Trump has made clear that he wants to mess with our elections. We must take nothing for granted. That’s why Senate Democrats announced today that we have recruited and trained more than 100 Senate staff as official congressional election observers. They will serve as the Senate’s eyes and ears on the ground in closely contested Senate races. Our elections have always been fair, safe, and secure. We’re committed to keeping it that way. yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…

Is this what Donald Trump meant when he said we’d get “tired of winning”? Because the American people are exhausted.

The Art of the Deal: Trump sold us out to Putin, and we got absolutely nothing in return.
wholesale diesel prices not blinking over Russia/US "deal", wholesale prices up 13-24c/gal, $6/gal diesel may be here to stay for now- truckers and farmers not going to see any relief anytime soon.

Taxpayer dollars are not Trump’s personal propaganda fund. This court order is a win for taxpayers, but stopping the ads is only the beginning. Americans deserve answers about every dollar spent. That’s why I’ve demanded a thorough investigation into these ads and that all records are preserved. Now we need answers: Who approved them, how much was spent, and who will be held accountable.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to halt any further airing of taxpayer-funded television ads touting the president, ruling they are likely illegal on.wsj.com/4idZQDs

Trump is doing a deal with the devil to try to help his flailing political fortunes from the shockingly high diesel prices caused by his own reckless, illegal war in the Middle East.   This filthy deal will only aid and abet the same Putin who is helping the Iranians to target and try to kill American troops in the Middle East and who illegally and viciously invaded our ally Ukraine.
NEW: President Trump says that Russian President Vladimir Putin will “immediately” release hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel onto the global market. It was not immediately clear how this would work, given wide-ranging sanctions that have been applied to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…

Donald Trump is escalating his smear campaign against Lisa Cook while turning the presidency into a personal ATM: crypto schemes, taxpayer-funded propaganda ads, cash for his family - the list could go on forever.  This has nothing to do with 'ethical concerns.' It’s about Trump trying to seize control of the Fed, something that would mean even more economic chaos for American families.
BREAKING Politico: Trump has just established a committee of inquiry to investigate whether Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook made "false statements in connection with one or more mortgage instruments" — his latest effort to remove her from the central bank. politico.com/news/2026/10/09…

The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth about what happened. DHS must immediately release all body camera footage and ensure a full, independent investigation. When excessive force is used, there must be accountability. No one is above the law.   For months, I’ve warned that ICE’s increasingly aggressive tactics put lives at risk. That’s why Senate Democrats fought for enforceable safeguards holding ICE agents to the same standards as other law enforcement officers.   DHS can make all the claims it wants. The footage will speak for itself. Release it.
