Incredibly misleading.
$5,000 is the maximum amount of money Schumer could legally give in direct PAC contributions to a single candidate per election, and direct contributions are basically all that IMPACT (Schumer's Leadership PAC, which is NOT the same thing as DSCC) does.
IMPACT does not coordinate or funnel significant indirect funds to candidates beyond its direct contributions. It does not make independent expenditures (unlimited outside spending on ads). And it does not serve as a vehicle for large-scale coordinated or pass-through spending the way a super PAC does.
Schumer gave that money to Nixon around October (not the day before the election - again Schumer's PAC isn't the same thing as the DSCC) and also personally hosted a fundraising event for her around that time.

Angie Nixon confirms reporting that Chuck Schumer gave her ONLY $5000 from his Leadership PAC. She also reveals the DSCC only gave money to her campaign the DAY BEFORE the election
