The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

McGee on #Caturday.

I was so heartbroken when he crossed the rainbow bridge back in 2017. So I immortalized him as “Harry Winston” in my newest novel, “Norma and the Blue Hour.”

Book drops next Thursday. Pre-order on Kindle here:

Nothing says “Democratic Leader” quite like “I will not tell you who I voted for in a general election.”
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."
