Americans rely on a strong economy, and the success of our economy relies on an independent Federal Reserve. In the 111-year history of the Federal Reserve, no President has ever tried to undermine its independence as brazenly as this one.
@warnock.senate.gov is right - In addition to RFK Jr's lack of credentials, his agenda is a threat to the health of the American people.   It's time for Secretary Kennedy to resign.
Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.
The Trump administration promised to bring down costs for everyday Americans, but day after day we see costs continue to rise. They continue to prove they’re not looking out for everyday Americans, only their billionaire friends and donors.
When congressional Republicans and the Trump administration forced through the largest health care cuts in history, they put hospitals up and down our state at risk. They were so desperate to give rich people tax cuts, they made it harder for Americans everywhere to get care.

HOSPITAL CRISIS UPDATE: Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, Delaware status changed to Cuts Announced #HospitalCrisisWatch
Thanks to the mess this administration and RFK Jr. have created, many in our communities can't access vaccines they need to keep themselves safe and healthy. They’re not only failing to make us healthier, they’re actively putting lives at risk.
COVID vaccines are no longer available at CVS stores in three states and available only with a prescription in 13 states and D.C., CVS told Axios today. Here's what to know.
Decisions about how to spend YOUR taxpayer dollars should be made by YOUR representatives. The Trump administration is trying to silence your voice, take Congress out of the picture, and make even deeper cuts to already-appropriated federal investments. It’s unacceptable.
Trump is attempting more ILLEGAL cuts to government investments, trying to push Congress to the side entirely. This is a brazen attempt to steal Congress's power to be YOUR voice on taxpayer spending. Trump does NOT have a line-item veto, much less a retroactive one.
This is ridiculous. Just one month after her confirmation, the CDC Director has been fired. If reports that her ouster is related to support of basic vaccine science, we should all be very concerned.
Breaking news: Susan Monarez, the newly installed director of the CDC, is being ousted weeks after she was confirmed to lead the public health agency, according to multiple administration officials.
Lisa Cook's illegal firing is yet another attempt by this admin to denigrate public servants in favor of political loyalists tasked with covering up their struggling economy. Stability & impartiality in the Federal Reserve is critical. This administration is threatening both.
My prayers and condolences are with the students whose lives were taken and the community that will forever be marred by this senseless act of violence. We don’t have to accept these tragedies as a part of daily life. We can - and must - keep up the fight for commonsense gun safety laws.
Two children were killed in a shooting Wednesday at Annunciation Church in south Minneapolis, a source confirmed. The gunman is also dead, the law enforcement source said.
I'm glad Mr. Antoni will heed our calls to testify before our committee. Replacing the BLS head won’t change the reality that the economy is suffering. If our businesses and trade partners can't trust the data we produce, the impact on our economy could be disastrous.
SCOOP: Trump's BLS pick E.J. Antoni -- who many economists have flagged as unqualified -- will face a hearing before the Senate HELP committee. Over 30+ years, only 1 of the last 6 BLS chiefs had a committee hearing talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-e...
The Trump administration has undone nearly ALL the progress we’ve made in over two decades since Hurricane Katrina. As extreme weather becomes more frequent, dismantling systems that help us prepare and recover will have devastating consequences.
More than 180 current and former FEMA employees sent a sharply worded letter to Congress, warning that the Trump administration’s sweeping overhaul is gutting the disaster relief agency’s authority and capabilities, undoing two decades of progress since the failures of Hurricane Katrina.
Let Me Be Blunt: back-to-school season is going to cost more this year because of the Trump administration.   When the cost of living is already too high, they're taking steps to make getting everything from supplies to nutritious meals harder for our kids and families.
Bad news: Delawareans who get their health insurance on the marketplace will be paying higher rates this coming year - the highest since the last time President Trump was in office. And it’s directly because of actions taken by the Trump administration.
Two years ago, we celebrated the naming of the Challenge Program’s Gibbs Center in Wilmington. Yesterday, we cut the board (not the ribbon!) for its grand opening.  This center will provide vocational training and mentorship to young Delawareans, and I’m proud to watch the program grow.

1 in 4 Delawareans lives in a child care desert. That’s why I was proud to champion the American Rescue Plan Act which funded a Child Development Center at Delaware Technical Community College Stanton. Proud to be there for the groundbreaking in 2023 and the ribbon cutting today!

Our federal delegation was able to secure a major federal grant to enable Delmarva Central Railroad to make important upgrades and deliver more efficient and reliable service. This is huge for our producers and our supply chains alike here in Delaware and across the region.

As the ranking member of the Senate Committee on the Coast Guard, I was glad to visit Coast Guard Station Indian River to learn more about their work and how we in Congress can better support them as they work to keep our coasts and waterways safe.
