As the Trump admin. refuses to use emergency funds to help folks on SNAP, states like ours are stepping up.
I just introduced legislation that would make sure states aren’t left footing the bill.

Let Me Be Blunt: congressional Republicans are about to let our friends and neighbors go hungry.
42 MILLION people are about to lose access to food assistance.
It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table and help us fix this.
Thanks to Republicans in Washington, a 50-year-old couple in Middletown will see their premiums go up by 224% this Saturday.
Are there any Delawareans who want to spend more than $1,200 extra PER MONTH for their health coverage?
This administration let nearly 100 million pounds of food go to waste rather than deliver it to food banks.
It’s like they WANT millions of Americans to go hungry.
The government has been shut down for 28 days.
Senate Republicans:
There’s no doubt, we have important business to get to here in the Senate, but we can’t ignore the basic fact: we can’t credibly take on the issues facing our nation until Republicans come to the table and reopen the government.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Countless farmers in Delaware and across the country are suffering the consequences of this administration's recklessness.
They don't need fake sympathy from a man worth half a billion dollars.
They need an administration focused on putting them first.
China's boycott of American soy has farmers suffering.
Trump's very rich treasury secretary feigns empathy.

Just this year, Republicans…
-Cut funding for SNAP, and now are trying to use hungry families as political leverage
-Cut funding for affordable health care, and now are trying to use higher premiums as political leverage
They're playing politics with people's lives.
Energy costs are up
Housing costs are up
Food costs are up
And soon, health care costs will skyrocket.
The President said on day one he would lower costs, but the reality is he's making things more expensive for everyone.
They may not act like it, but even Republicans know we have to take on skyrocketing health care costs.
To prove it, @mcbride.house.gov and I got together to connect Republicans with their own words about this crisis.
It's time for them to put their money where their mouths are.
Proud to join @merkley.senate.gov on the floor to break down some of this administration’s MOST corrupt acts and help raise the alarm.
Here, the voices of our communities hold weight and I’ll never stop speaking out.
Republicans’ Big Ugly Betrayal sold out working people AND small businesses, all to pay for permanent tax cuts for the ultra rich.
With the Republican Big, Beautiful BETRAYAL of a bill, Main Street is now Pain Street for small businesses.

Exactly right.
This is an incredible threat to our nation, and @merkley.senate.gov has been holding the Senate floor for hours to call it out.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
I'm holding the floor to protest Trump dragging us further into authoritarianism.

This weekend, I joined Rev. Al Sharpton on Politics Nation with a simple message: the President and Speaker Johnson need to call House Republicans back to work.
We can’t negotiate with people who aren’t even in the CITY, much less the Capitol.
First, Republicans gutted health care access for millions of Americans.
Then, they shut down the government for 21 days— with no end in sight.
Now, they’re throwing themselves a party to celebrate.
Up next: YOUR premiums go up because of their inaction.
Trump promised to lower costs and help working class Americans.
Now, costs are higher than ever, and no one can find a new job.
His economic leadership has been nothing short of a disaster.
Reflecting on this weekend’s No Kings rallies, I’m filled with energy and resolve.
This is not just a one time deal—we’re going to have to stay strong and keep this energy going.
Together, we can defend our democracy.
