Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., faced widespread mockery after launching a tipline to "expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety."

On Monday, Schumer shared a link calling on "whistleblowers" to report violations, arguing they "are a vital part of Congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable." The categories whistleblowers can report include "retaliation," "wasteful spending," "fraud," "criminal activity," and "other."

"Today, I’m calling on our brave public servants," the Senate Majority Leader wrote as he shared the tipline form on X. "I’m launching a new portal for anyone who wants to expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety with the legal protections of being a whistleblower."

The new project was shredded by a wide variety of commentators online.

"We already have that… it’s called DOGE," comedian Tim Young quipped.

Tesla-founder Elon Musk joked, "Look into this Schumer guy, he’s definitely done crime!"

"Great! I wanna report: Joe Biden. Kamala Harris. Chuck Schumer," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, replied. "And the entire corrupt Democrat party that weaponized & abused the federal government for the past four years."

While some commentators shared a video of Schumer's failed Father's Day photo-op where he appeared to not know how to properly grill a burger, others called out far more serious aspects of his political past. 

Many commentators recalled when Schumer issued a warning to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh in 2020, during a rally held as the court heard arguments in a high-profile abortion case. 

"I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price!" Schumer warned. "You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Judicial Network president Carrie Severino noted his mention of "’Threats to public safety...’" and wrote, "This is rich coming from Senator Schumer, who stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and threatened Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, saying they would ‘pay the price’ for exercising judicial review."

"I have someone to report, pictured here at the Supreme Court threatening Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch," Fox News’ Katie Pavlich said.

The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Z, Hemingway responded with a screenshot of a lengthy report she was filing using the tipline to call out Schumer for either "retaliation" or "criminal activity."

"Wild that you’re recruiting government employees involved in the corruption to target the people exposing the corruption," market analyst and political commentator Jeff Carlson wrote. "Public Servant is a pretentious term for people who went into government because they knew the graft pays well."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he supports the delay of all of President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees who do not have unanimous support in the Senate.

Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., filed cloture on John Ratcliffe's nomination for CIA director, Kristi Noem's nomination for Homeland Security secretary and Pete Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary on Tuesday. But a last-minute objection from Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., held up a vote on Ratcliffe, triggering hours of debate that could delay confirmation votes on Trump's national security nominees late into the week and possibly into the weekend.

"I don't think it's too much to ask to make sure that we have a full, real debate that lasts two days on the Senate floor," Murphy said on the Senate floor, adding that Democrats have "serious concerns" about Trump's CIA pick. 

The Senate voted to confirm Ratcliffe, 74-25, on Thursday afternoon.

Asked on Thursday if he supports slowing the confirmation process for Trump's nominees down, Schumer indicated that he does.

"Look, there are some nominees like [Secretary of State Marco] Rubio that got broad support, but a detailed discussion – I have some doubts about Mr. Ratcliffe, particularly when I asked him how he'd react if Tulsi Gabbard were put in charge of him in the DNI," Schumer said, referring to Trump's pick to lead the Office of National Intelligence.

"For a day or two, or a few hours to examine these nominees who have such power thoroughly, absolutely," he added. "Our idea is to let the whole truth come out if they try to rush them through. We don't want that to happen." 

Thune on Tuesday expressed frustration with Democrats over their delay tactics.

"Do we want a vote on these folks on Tuesday or vote on them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Because that's what we're going to do. This can be easy or this can be hard," Thune said. "This is about America's national security interests, and we're stalling, so that's not going to happen."

Ratcliffe was approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee by a bipartisan vote of 14-3. Because of that, Thune said the vote to confirm him "shouldn't be hard."

"Democrats and Republicans, in a very big bipartisan fashion, agree that he is very qualified for this job," Thune said, adding that he isn't sure what stalling accomplishes.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is meeting with Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) Democrats on Monday evening to discuss the confirmation hearing for controversial Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth — just hours before its set to take place. 

A Senate Democratic source confirmed the last-minute meeting to Fox News Digital. 

Schumer and other Democrats have made their opposition to the former Fox News host clear in the days leading up to the hearing, which is the first to take place of all President-elect Donald Trump's nominees.

The meeting, first reported by Axios, comes after the New York Democrat urged his fellow caucus members to grill Trump's nominees in their upcoming hearings and force them to go on record about controversial Trump agenda items, per a Senate Democratic source. 

The source added that Democrats are planning to lay the groundwork to say that they warned about Trump's Cabinet picks early on.

In floor remarks on Monday, Schumer said, "Unfortunately, Mr. Hegseth’s background is deeply troubling, to put it generously. We have all read the reports about his radical views, his alleged excessive drinking, the allegations about sexual assault, and his failures in the financial stewardship of multiple organizations."

Hegseth has denied all allegations, including those suggesting financial mismanagement, sexual assault and alcohol consumption. 

The Secretary of Defense nominee's spokesperson did not immediately provide comment to Fox News Digital.

Reed and Hegseth met last week for a notably brief discussion. Afterward, the SASC ranking member said in a statement, "Today’s meeting did not relieve my concerns about Mr. Hegseth’s lack of qualifications and raised more questions than answers." 

"As with any nominee for this critical position, Mr. Hegseth must undergo the same high-level of scrutiny as prior Secretary of Defense nominees," he added. 

Democratic New York Sen. Chuck Schumer celebrated a 100-year-old Holocaust survivor living on Long Island on Monday, gifting her with a flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol in her honor, as well as bestowing her with a special Senate floor recognition as a New York "hometown hero," Fox News Digital learned. 

"I am proud to honor a living legend right here on Long Island today, and that is Pina Frassineti Wax," Schumer said Monday, according to a press release provided to Fox Digital. "Pina is whip smart, energetic and going strong—but she also remembers the horrors of the Holocaust, and having seen it all, Pina has dedicated her life to teaching, loving and learning."

"The number of Americans who are both 100-years-old, and also survived the Holocaust, is not a high number, so knowing that a living legend is right on Long Island should give Pina’s family, friends, neighbors and all New Yorkers an amazing life story to celebrate," Schumer continued. 

Pina Frassineti Wax, 100, is originally from Rome, Italy, and survived the Holocaust before settling in Long Island’s hamlet of Baldwin. Schumer gifted Frassineti Wax a flag that flew in her honor at the Capitol, and announced she will also receive a Senate floor recognition later Monday commemorating her "living legend status on Long Island."

HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE 2024 AS SCOPE OF DEATH, HORROR AND THREAT STILL HARD TO COMPREHEND TODAY

"As a centenarian, and going—Pina, born in Rome, Italy, has witnessed a century of profound change in the world, from the devastating losses of the Holocaust to the remarkable advancements in human rights, democracy, and peace, always advocating for truth, justice, and remembrance," Schumer said while presenting the Holocaust survivor with the flag that flew in her honor. 

The New York senator explained that before Frassineti Wax fled Europe for America, she and her family hid in a Catholic convent to escape the Nazis. 

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR: IT 'NEVER OCCURRED' TO ME I’D HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY GRANDCHILDREN

"Pina has not only survived, but she has thrived—from the Jewish ghetto in Rome to the promise of America and her community on Long Island. Pina’s history includes the loss of family in Dachau. Pina remembers well, having to hide with her mother and brother in a Catholic convent to escape the Nazis," Schumer said. 

"She would face great trauma and worry during the Holocaust, but she never gave up. Her loving husband, Mario Wax, was also a Jewish Italian. Mario joined the U.S. Army, being awarded a Bronze Star. They shared forty-four wonderful years together."

SUNNY HOSTIN LIKENS JANUARY 6 RIOT TO THE HOLOCAUST, SAYS WE CAN 'NEVER FORGET'

Schumer's announcement comes just ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27. 

"Pina’s milestone year—her hundredth—serves as a remarkable testament to her perseverance and triumph during one of the darkest chapters of human history, emerging from the horrors of the Holocaust with an unwavering commitment to survival, and rebuilding, while ensuring that the atrocities committed are never forgotten," Schumer continued. 

Frassineti Wax was joined by members of her family, as well as Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman on Monday. 

The recognition comes as the war in Israel continues since October of 2023. New York was rocked by antisemitic protests in response to the war last year, including agitators and student protesters flooding college campuses, notably at Columbia University. 

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., instructed his caucus not to hold back when it comes to confirmation hearings beginning this week for some of President-elect Trump's nominees for top roles. 

During last week's caucus lunch, Schumer said these hearings will be an opportunity for them to grill Trump's choices and ask them questions about the incoming president's agenda, a Senate Democratic source told Fox News Digital. 

In particular, the Democratic leader told his party that they should press nominees on how they specifically will help carry out some of the items Trump pledged to do during the campaign, the source said.

As both parties compete for working-class Americans, who have been key deciding votes in the past several elections, Schumer and Democrats believe the confirmation hearings are a prime opportunity to put Trump's selections on the record on crucial issues that matter to this group, according to the source. 

Additionally, Democrats are not planning on holding back when it comes to the backgrounds of nominees, they added. The caucus could use this time as a chance to lay the groundwork for any future blunders from Trump appointees, in which case they could say they warned colleagues early on. 

Confirmation hearings will kick off on Tuesday with Doug Collins being considered at 9 a.m. to serve as secretary of Veterans Affairs. Pete Hegseth's hearing to be Trump's Defense secretary will follow at 9:30 a.m.

Some of the other Trump picks who will appear before committees this week are Gov. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., for secretary of Homeland Security; CEO and founder of Liberty Energy Chris Wright for secretary of Energy; and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for secretary of State. 

Since Republicans will have a 53-seat majority in the Senate, they could manage to confirm Trump's selections without any Democratic support. That is, if they can get all Republicans to back the incoming president's choices. 

However, each nominee still needs to go through a confirmation hearing, during which members of both parties will question them. Many Democrats have already expressed their intentions to ask Hegseth, for example, about various allegations of fund mismanagement and sexual assault, which he has denied.

Depending on their answers, hearings can play a role in whether a nominee ultimately gets confirmed. 

A member of the Armed Services committee, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has made clear her concerns about Hegseth. "I am deeply concerned by the many ways in which your behavior and rhetoric indicates that you are unfit to lead the Department of Defense," she wrote to the nominee last week.

"Your confirmation as Secretary of Defense would be detrimental to our national security and disrespect a diverse array of service members who are willing to sacrifice for our country," she said. 

REPUBLICANS BLAST 'JOKE' SENTENCING OF TRUMP 10 DAYS BEFORE SWEARING IN

Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., Armed Services ranking member, is also expected to pose questions on areas of concern. He met with Hegseth last week, but said afterward in a statement, "Today’s meeting did not relieve my concerns about Mr. Hegseth’s lack of qualifications and raised more questions than answers."

"As with any nominee for this critical position, Mr. Hegseth must undergo the same high-level of scrutiny as prior Secretary of Defense nominees."

While Hegseth's confirmation process has been one of the most watched, it's expected that Democrats will keep pressure on a number of Trump picks, with a handful of exceptions, such as for their colleague Marco Rubio, whom several Democrats plan to support. 

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Sunday conceded that Democrats should regard the 2024 election as a loss and reflect on what went wrong for the party after losing both the White House and Senate and failing to flip the House of Representatives.

Schumer appeared on NBC’s "Meet the Press," where he was asked about Democratic strategist James Carville’s assertion that the reason Democrats lost was because of "the economy, stupid."

"I told my caucus, and I’ll say it here, too… certainly it was a loss, but it’s also a challenge," Schumer said of the election.

Schumer said Democrats faced "severe headwinds" to win four of seven contested Democratic Senate seats, though conceded that "we did some things wrong and we have to look in the mirror and see what we did wrong."

JAMES CARVILLE CONCEDES HE WAS WRONG ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS' CHANCES: ‘IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE ECONOMY, STUPID’

President-elect Trump defeated Vice President Harris to win the White House, while Republicans flipped the Senate and retained a razor-thin majority in the House.

Shumer said "there are some things we didn’t do that we should have done," such as focusing on working families in America.

Schumer said Democrats talked about the mechanics and details of the legislation, though "didn’t show the kind of empathy or concern, or enough of it, to average working families."

This failing made working families not "realize how much we have done and how much we care for them," the minority leader said.

"What we’re going to do is spend time talking to working families, showing them how much we care for them," Schumer said. "And not just talk about legislation, but talk about the conditions that have made so many working families worried about their futures."
