Chuck Schumer is leading Senate Democrats on a new bill that would break up major meatpacking companies, aiming to curb market concentration and rising grocery costs, and would bar foreign-controlled firms like JBS from operating in the U.S. He is also criticizing stalled talks over Department of Homeland Security funding, as a shutdown is increasingly likely. Separately, Schumer and other Democrats condemned a Justice Department effort to indict lawmakers over statements to service members, after a grand jury declined to indict, framing it as a free-speech issue.
