El líder de la mayoría del Senado, Charles E. Schumer, dijo a un grupo de defensores de los inmigrantes y periodistas en un evento el miércoles que su "enfoque está en los Dreamers", o inmigrantes indocumentados que llegaron al país cuando eran niños, durante las últimas semanas de este Congreso. El demócrata neoyorquino, que controla la agenda del Senado, ha dicho que los miembros de su partido estaban trabajando en una legislación para ayudar a estos inmigrantes y buscando llegar a un acuerdo en el pato cojo, mientras el partido demócrata aún controla la Cámara. "Mi mensaje a los republicanos del Senado es este: Trabajen con nosotros", dijo Schumer frente al Capitolio. "Trabajen con nosotros en esta política ampliamente apoyada para que podamos llegar a un acuerdo que proteja a las familias y fortalezca nuestra economía".

Food Stamp Benefits to Receive Historic Increase in October https://www.breitbart.com/health/2021/10/01/food-stamp-benefits-to-receive-historic-increase-in-october/ People who receive food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), will notice a major and permanent increase starting in October. Beginning this month, the average benefits for food stamps will grow over 25 percent above pre-pandemic levels, and the additional assistance will be “available indefinitely to all 42 million SNAP beneficiaries,” “The increase coincides with the end of a 15% boost in SNAP benefits that was ordered as a COVID-19 pandemic protection measure, which expired on Sept. 30,” “In practical terms, the average monthly per-person benefits for qualified recipients will rise from $121 to $157 — or $36 per person, per month,” The increase is projected to cost an additional $20 billion per year but it doesn't have to be approved by Congress. A farm law passed in 2018 by the then-Republican led Congress and signed by former President Donald Trump already directed the department to reassess the Thrifty Food Plan by 2022 and every five years thereafter. Paper ball… Senate Republicans plan to block another debt ceiling vote as default risks rise https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/10/06/republicans-senate-debt-ceiling-default/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F34e4a0a%2F615dcde29d2fda9d41004e99%2F5fd17c37ade4e21670c1cfd7%2F10%2F70%2F615dcde29d2fda9d41004e99 Senate Republicans plan to block Democrats from raising the country's debt ceiling, daring President Biden and his party's top lawmakers to devise another path forward just 12 days before the U.S. government could run out of flexibility to pay its bills. For the third time in as many weeks, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) is set to hold a vote on a measure that would suspend the borrowing limit into next year, aiming to act before Congress blows past an Oct. 18 deadline that could catapult the country into an economic recession. But the proposal is likely to be as doomed as the two that preceded it. Democrats for the moment cannot advance in the debate over the debt ceiling unless 10 GOP lawmakers join them — and Republicans once again are refusing to supply the votes as part of their broader campaign to oppose Biden's economic agenda. “They basically want us to be aiders and abettors to their reckless spending and tax policies, and we just aren't going to do it,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.). Absent congressional action, a default threatens to unleash widespread financial havoc: It could rattle markets, delay seniors' Social Security checks, prevent some families from receiving monthly child tax assistance and raise the cost of borrowing for millions of Americans by driving up interest rates. The Defense Department added Wednesday that it also would “seriously harm our service members and their families,” jeopardizing the government's ability to pay service members and civilians on time while providing benefits to veterans. Biden recently likened the doomsday scenario to a “meteor” crashing into the U.S. economy, only months after the coronavirus pandemic created the worst such devastation since the Great Depression. Paper ball… Democrats Wrangle Over How to Shrink $3.5 Trillion Proposal Lawmakers consider trims to package of healthcare, education and climate-change programs https://www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-wrangleover-how-to-shrink-3-5-trillion-proposal-11633466811?mod=itp_wsj&mod=djemITP_h President Biden acknowledged in a series of meetings with Democrats this week and on Friday that a package once pegged at $3.5 trillion would have to be smaller, given opposition from centrist Senate Democrats to a bill of that magnitude. Now, they are grappling with the tougher next step: deciding exactly how much narrower—and which of—their proposed child care, education or health programs would have to get trimmed or culled. “That's what the president wanted to hear from us: We know this isn't going to hit the $3.5 trillion—we all know that at this point—what are the most important needs of the American people?” said Rep. Cindy Axne (D., Iowa), who participated in a virtual meeting with Mr. Biden on Tuesday. Meeting with House Democrats on Friday, Mr. Biden had suggested that the package's overall spending level would likely be between $1.9 trillion and $2.3 trillion. Although Democratic leaders had initially agreed to roughly $3.5 trillion in spending, centrist Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona balked at that level. The two moderate Democrats have been negotiating for days with White House officials and Democratic leaders over the specifics of what they will be able to support. The two senators' approval is crucial because Democrats are planning to pass the package through a process linked to the budget, known as reconciliation, that allows it to clear the Senate with just a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes most bills require. With no GOP support expected, that means Democrats must still secure the support of every member of the Democratic caucus in the evenly split Senate and can afford no more than three defections in the House.

Senator Charles E Schumer joins host Scott Rechler for the 2nd episode of the new conversational series, Recalibrate Reality: The Future of New York. This episode was previously recorded.
We have a new president – and the first-ever female vice president. What comes next for the country, the state and the region? We'll soon find out. On this episode of The Eagle, Times Union Managing Editor of News Susan Mehalick says many New Yorkers are optimistic about the new administration in Washington. The inauguration also marked a first for the state: Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a Brooklynite, became the first Senate majority leader from New York. Plus, the coronavirus rages on in the Capital Region. More than 750 people have died from the virus in the region, and there are not enough vaccines in the state to meet the demand. Also on this episode, Capital reporters Amanda Fries and Ed McKinley break down Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's state budget proposals – yes, there's two. And a Niskayuna man charged in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol appeared to be taking a cavalier approach to his federal case.
Quick update for everyone. Senate leadership announced a bipartisan deal on an approximately $900 billion economic relief package late Sunday afternoon that would deliver emergency aid to a faltering economy and a nation besieged by surging coronavirus cases. After months of contentious negotiations and seemingly intractable partisan gridlock, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the Senate floor to say that a deal had been finalized and could be quickly approved.
On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City; and Richard Lachmann, American sociologist and professor at the State University of New York at Albany. "The Senate plans to vote Wednesday afternoon on a $2 trillion stimulus package that is designed to pump a limited amount of cash into the US economy in an effort to stabilize households and businesses that have been floored by the coronavirus outbreak," the Washington Post reported Wednesday. "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) announced the breakthrough on the Senate floor around 1:30 a.m. today, after a long day of talks with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other administration officials." What will this mean for the economy, and more importantly, what will it mean for the millions who are struggling to put food on the table in the midst of this crisis? Is it too little, too late?"As health care providers across the US desperately attempt to treat a rapidly growing number of patients with the coronavirus, a pharmaceutical company with ties to the Trump administration has been granted exclusive status for a drug it is developing to treat the illness — a potential windfall for the company that could put the medication out of reach for many Americans," Common Dreams reported Tuesday. How big of a threat is this?"Prosecutors in Istanbul said Wednesday they had indicted 20 Saudi nationals, including two senior officials, on murder charges after an investigation into the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to a statement from the prosecutor's office," the Washington Post reported Wednesday. Is this progress or a hollow victory?Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton warned in a Monday announcement that “all licensed health care professionals and all licensed health care facilities, including abortion providers,” in the state must “postpone all surgeries and procedures that are not immediately medically necessary.” How significant of a move is this?GUESTS:Dr. Linwood Tauheed — Associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.Richard Lachmann — American sociologist, specialist in comparative historical sociology and professor at the State University of New York at Albany.

President Donald Trump, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer clashed today over funding for the border wall, an explosive Oval Office encounter that ended with Trump declaring he'd be proud to shut down the government to get what he wants. How does this portend for the future of our politics with a Democratic House coming in January? We'll examine Trump saying that he will do anything for his wall, the military, whatever it takes.Google CEO Sundar Pichai went before Congress today and answered questions about alleged political bias in the company's search results and actions, the location tracking enabled by its services and its reported plans to launch a search engine in China. Pichai faced a number of questions about alleged political bias at Google and the possibility that individual employees could manipulate search results. He said several times that such influence was not possible, but would follow up with members of Congress to assure them this was the case. In addition, Pichai received a number of questions about location tracking of users, occasioned by a new report from the New York Times showing that location data about individual app users can be purchased without their explicit knowledge or consent.The US Senate will take up a revised criminal justice bill this month, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the chamber's floor today, reversing his previous resistance to acting on the measure. McConnell (R-KY) said on Tuesday that he will bring a bipartisan criminal justice bill up for a vote, marking a significant win for the legislation's supporters, including President Trump. Backers and advocates have been publicly and privately lobbying McConnell for months to bring the bill to the floor, arguing that they have at least 70 votes in support of the legislation. The bill, spearheaded by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL), merges a House-passed prison reform bill aimed at reducing recidivism with four changes to sentencing laws. McConnell's remarks are a dramatic turnaround from last week, when he appeared to warn at a Wall Street Journal event that he did not have time to move the criminal justice bill this year, which he said could take up to 10 days.GUESTS: Margaret Flowers — Co-director of Popular Resistance, co-host of Clearing the FOG and former candidate for US Senate.Brian Williams — Co-founder and partner at Wayne and Reed, a tech consultancy and venture builder.

“In The void of any role model, any role model will do” Jason The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act , enacted November 30, 1993, often referred to as the Brady Act or the Brady Bill, is an Act of the United States Congress that mandated federal background checks on firearm purchasers in the United States, and imposed a five-day waiting period on purchases, until the NICS system was implemented in 1998. The original legislation was introduced into the House of Representatives by Representative Charles E. Schumer in March 1991,[1] but was never brought to a vote. The bill was reintroduced by Rep. Schumer on February 22, 1993 and the final version was passed on November 11, 1993. It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 30, 1993 and the law went into effect on February 28, 1994. The Act was named after James Brady, who was shot by John Hinckley Jr. during an attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. Editorial -Chase- Public Access America There comes a point I think when it should be mentioned, public access America does not believe violence and anger are ever the solution. We were created in and of the ideals that information is the real power. That being said, the frustration with situations in which a group, race, ANY, are singled out and treated with disregard of laws should be held accountable. We the people have a power that is being hidden away from us by magician politicians that believe and maybe rightfully that we can be silenced. Your silence is their victory, as the writer of this I think McVeigh was right in believing that the attacks at Ruby ridge and Waco went horribly wrong. His shock and outrage were a normal reaction, I do believe as an opinion that his actions were also horribly incorrect. Violence in anyway only provokes violence and justifies the divide.

The outcome of tight Senate races in Indiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will determine which party controls the Senate, says CQ Roll Call senior political reporter Alex Roarty. Also, if Democrats pick up four seats and Hillary Clinton wins, it would make New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer the Senate majority leader, who could reach out to Republicans on issues such as immigration and an overhaul of the tax code, reports Senate leadership reporter Bridget Bowman.

Senator Charles E. Schumer is the Senior US Senator for the State of New York. Elected to the US Senate in 1998, Senator Schumer has been instrumental in furthering comprehensive immigration reform legislation. He was involved in the immigration reform debates in Congress in 2006 and 2007, and he currently sits on the Judiciary Committee, where he is Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees, and Border Security. On April 16, 2013, Senator Schumer introduced into the US Senate the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (also known as S.744). The immigration reform bill was particularly notable because it had been written and negotiated by the “Gang of Eight” – a bipartisan group of US senators including Democratic senators Schumer, Bob Menendez, Michael Bennet and Richard Durbin and Republican senators Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Marco Rubio. Among S. 744’s original provisions, the bill would increase security measures along the border, establish a new visa program for lower-skilled workers, and provide a pathway to citizenship to undocumented immigrants living within the United States. Although the Senate passed the bill on June 27, 2013, the House of Representatives did not take the bill up to a vote and it died with the closing of the 113th Congress. Senator Schumer is now in line to become the Senate Minority leader in the next Congress. However, in the event the Democrats become the majority in the US Senate after the November 2016 elections, Senator Schumer would become the Senate majority leader. The Senate majority leader manages the legislative calendar for the U.S. Senate and can help ensure the consideration of specific legislation, such as immigration reform. In this special episode, Kevin Appleby, CMS’s Senior Director of International Migration Policy, speaks with Senator Schumer about the prospects for immigration reform in the next Congress and how immigration reform supporters might prepare for another immigration debate. Senator Schumer also gives his views on the presidential election season and how the focus on immigration might impact the election’s outcome and beyond.

Renegade Talk welcomes The Queen Paticakes from Hemp Radio http://www.hempradio.com The U.S. Senate may — and should — review the NFL’s tax-exempt status Recently, you may have heard that the Internal Revenue Service came under some considerable firefor targeting certain groups seeking tax-exempt status while green-lighting others (such as one run by the brother of President Obama), but did you know that the National Football league, an organization that currently rakes in about $10 billion per year in revenue, is also a non-profit organization in the eyes of the government? While you're trying to figure that one out, we've got another one for you. Did you know that the league has been a non-profit organization since 1966, when the NFL merged with the American Football League, and then-commissioner Pete Rozelle folded in the request for an exemption with the request for an anti-trust exemption? The Senate immigration bill’s authors acknowledged Tuesday that their legislation does not require illegal immigrants to pay all back taxes, saying it would be too difficult to make them ante up everything they might owe. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who is chief sponsor of the bill, said illegal immigrants by definition are living in the shadows, and requiring them to reconstruct their pay history could be tough — and potentially keep many of them from legalization.

President Obama unveiled his plans to combat what the United States is calling "Transnational Organized Crime" in a paper released by the White House Tuesday morning. The document focuses primarily on encouraging more international cooperation to target organized criminals dealing in smuggling people, smuggling drugs, committing acts of terror and online financial crime. U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced his support for legislation to crackdown on counterfeit parts in weapons systems, airplanes, and other equipment that are essential to keeping our men and women in uniform safe, and to protect key defense contractors in Central New York. According to the Department of Defense, the rise in counterfeit aircraft parts alone are leading to a "5 to 15% percent decrease in weapons systems reliability" each year, putting additional troops' lives at risk both at home and abroad. Police have identified phishing, pharming and spoofing as the three main cyber crimes that have cost losses amounting to millions. The Federal Internet Crimes unit head Deputy Superintendent in Singapore said the number of victims falling prey to such crimes, especially through online-banking scams, was also increasing yearly.
