The Senate minority leader finds himself sharply at odds with many members of his caucus, fellow Democrats in the House and liberal activists.

Donald Trump congratulated Chuck Schumer for his decision to advance a GOP bill to keep the government open — but it’s hardly the kind of praise that the Senate Democratic leader needs. Fellow lawmakers and party activists are irate at what they see as a massive cave to Republicans as a time when

Trump repeated a campaign refrain Wednesday when he called Schumer a "Palestinian." Schumer is the highest-ranking elected official in Washington D.C.
