Chuck Schumer

Congress should expeditiously adopt the bipartisan Streamlining The Rapid Evolution And Modernization of Leading-edge Infrastructure Necessary to Enhance Small Cell Deployment Act.

We applaud and thank Chairman Thune and Senator Schatz for proposing such a common sense framework.

I write to express our strong opposition to the Streamlining the Rapid Evolution and Modernization of Leading-edge Infrastructure Necessary to Enhance (STREAMLINE) Small Cell Deployment Act (S. 3157).

Let me first thank my friend and colleague from Illinois. He is a lamp of light in this horrible moment when children are being separated from their parents, when we don't even know where they are, and when we don't even know who their…

Democratic Leader, Chuck Schumer saying he will oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination for everything he has, and he hopes the bipartisan majority will join him.

Our Republican colleagues in the Senate should follow the rule they set in 2016, not to consider a Supreme Court justice in an election year.

Before I begin my remarks, I wish to congratulate our Republican leader on becoming the longest serving Republican leader in the Senate. My friend Leader McConnell reached that milestone today. It is no secret we disagree on a whole lot of…

First, I thank my colleague. I was asked by my colleague from North Carolina if I would agree with his remarks, and he said he thought so. I definitely do. I think Erdogan is doing very bad things to the Turkish people, to our NATO…

The deal would never have been ratified as a binding treaty because it was opposed by bipartisan majorities of both the House and Senate.

First, let me welcome you and all of my colleagues back from another productive State work period. I traveled a good deal around my State, spoke at a bunch of graduations, and found it fun and productive. I learned a lot. I am glad to be…

This morning, I would like to address four issues at varying lengths: recent news on the North Korea summit, the Russia probe, the proposed recission of Ebola funding, and a word about the upcoming Memorial Day holiday.

First, I recently heard that my dear friend Harry Reid has just gotten out of an operation to treat pancreatic cancer. I have spoken to his family, and it seems that everything went very well with the operation. The doctors say pancreatic…

We recently received some terribly bad news. Michael Beaver, the Assistant Parliamentarian of the Senate, passed away unexpectedly last week. His death at the young age of 39 is shocking in its suddenness and tragic for the family…

It is good to see the Acting President pro tempore back in the Chair a second time. ____________________

Congratulations. This is the first time, at least when I am speaking on the floor, that the Presiding Officer is in the Chair. Is this the first time the Presiding Officer is in the Chair? The Presiding Officer cannot answer. Let the…

The only way is for--ultimately, to settle the issue of net neutrality is for Congress to come up with a bipartisan legislative solution.

I argue that I shouldn't have to because this Committee should give Rebecca the opportunity to continue to serve the American people on the FTC.

She would rather build consensus than cross swords, and it's that quality, in addition to her expertise and her intellect, that makes her so qualified for the FTC.

Thank you for having this hearing the day after yesterday's.

It really points the need for Congress to set clear rules of the road on this issue.

I hope this hearing is a little shorter and a little less controversial than the one you had yesterday.

I believe firmly in its mission of protecting consumers and promoting competition.

Rebecca has proven time and time again that she's a tough but fair negotiator who can get things done.

Indeed, she has been able to work across the aisle for years to make bipartisan progress.

It was not one of these famous Schumer marriages.
