Schumer lays out Senate Democrats' strategy to push back against Trump

Washington — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outlined Democrats' strategy to push back against the Trump administration on Monday, detailing efforts to combat what he called a "coordinated assault" by President Trump and his administration that "is not what most Americans and our constituents voted for in November."

"Senate Democrats have a responsibility to fight back on behalf of American families as Republicans look the other way in obedience to Donald Trump. And we are," Schumer wrote in a letter to colleagues, laying out how the "fight is being waged across multiple fronts."

Schumer, a New York Democrat, lambasted the president and his "cronies, sycophants, and radicals" who he alleged are pursuing a coordinated agenda to "hollow out the government and cut off critical services to American communities across the country" for the benefit of the most wealthy. He cited the administration's gutting of federal agencies and programs, and granting Elon Musk's team access to Treasury Department data, among other things.
