Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY)

Sens Edward Markey (D-MA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote to Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr about a “Fox & Friends” June 2024 interview in which then-Presidential Nominee Donald Trump was asked whether he would release the Epstein files if he were elected president. The network aired only a portion of President Trump’s answers, potentially misleading viewers about his intentions regarding those files. In July 2025, President Trump discounted the importance of the Epstein Files on Truth Social.

Sens Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) called on the Trump Administration to immediately release the $42 billion allocated for the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment Program as part of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) sounded the alarm on a misguided plan from the Federal Communications Commission that would exacerbate the digital divide in numerous Upstate New York communities and called on it to reverse course at once. The FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund will allocate $20.4 billion to connect millions of rural homes and small businesses to high-speed, broadband internet.

[Commentary] Senate Democrats are proposing to undo the FCC’s wrongheaded rule through a process set up by the Congressional Review Act. [O]ne more vote [is needed] to ensure the internet remains free and accessible to all. That vote must come from the ranks of the Republicans, who so far have sided with internet service providers, the only group that is clamoring to remove the important consumer protections enshrined in net neutrality.
