@schumer.senate.gov the democratic primary exists so registered democrats can choose the party’s candidate. Voters chose Mamdani. Who else would you possibly endorse? Not to have a full-throated endorsement of the candidate the voters chose is undemocratic.

And it’s clear rank and file Democrats don’t want the status quo - we want leaders with a strong moral sense, vision, and a willingness to fight- who don’t follow the polls but shape them. If there’s a future for the Democratic Party, it’s leaders like Mamdani.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Israel’s escalating campaign of demolishing Palestinian homes in the West Bank is the other side of the coin of seizing Palestinian land for settlement expansion. The objective is to force Palestinians to silently leave.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?
