Schumer hoping for a "reasonable compromise" during Trump-Putin summit in Alaska...
New York's Senior U.S. Senator says he's hopeful that a "reasonable" compromise can be reached on Ukraine when President Trump meets this Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  The high-stakes "listening exercise" as the White House has called it... will take place in Anchorage, Alaska this Friday... and, will be the first time Putin has visited a Western nation since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February of 2022.  Democratic Senator Charles Schumer says he's hopeful that Ukraine doesn't get "sold out..." and, he says he and several other lawmakers have been supportive of Ukraine since then.  Schumer says he hopes the president will send a "strong message" to Putin that there needs to be a ceasefire and some kind of agreement that ends the war.  Russia has countered Western attempts to isolate it by bolstering its ties with ex-Soviet allies and other developing countries.  Putin’s travel also has been limited by an International Criminal Court arrest warrant issued in 2023 that has prompted him to avoid visits to places that recognize the court’s authority.  The U.S. isn’t a member of the court and thus doesn’t have an obligation to arrest him.

Schumer hosts press conference/rally to keep Job Corps open and funded...
New York's senior U.S. Senator is leading the push to keep local Jobs Corps open... including the one in Cassadaga... which has been paused since this past Spring.  Democrat Charles Schumer says losing it would be a "gut punch" to Chautauqua County... and other parts of the country.  Schumer was at Jamestown Community College Tuesday afternoon to join with Job Corps graduates, staff, and local trade representatives... to call for a stop to the Trump Administration's efforts to end the program.  Schumer says he's been able to lead an effort in a Senate Education and Labor Committee to restore funding in the next fiscal year... beginning on Oct.1.  He believes it will pass on the Senate floor... but, adds the House has not taken up a similar bill.  With that... Schumer called on those attending the event to push local Congressman Nick Langworthy to support the measure in the House... because the bill would have to be approved by both chambers.  The Senator says the Cassadaga Job Corps has been very successful for more than six decades.  While some have questioned Job Corps' success... Schumer says it's "one of the best bang-for-your-buck programs we have."  He adds that locally... "so many young New Yorkers are given a second chance to get the real-world skills they need for in-demand fields like healthcare, construction, and manufacturing."

Representatives from JCC, local trade groups and Job Corps graduates also speak on Tuesday...
Senator Schumer was joined by several supporters of the Cassadaga Job Corps... including the president of Jamestown Community College.  Daniel DeMarte talked about the collaborations that JCC has forged with local training programs... adding that the college has had a 20-year relationship with Job Corps... and, says they just recently entered into a new agreement with Job Corps to provide a pratical nursing program.  Three Job Corps graduates... who are now gainfully employed in the region... also took part in the press conference.  One... Arlene Tariq... is now a psychotherapist in Hamburg.  She expressed her appreciation to Job Corps... and, JCC.  Another Job Corps graduate... Stephen Storay... is now a Gear Specialist for Green Mountain Energy Supply.  He graduated from the job corps in 2015.
