So great to meet Gabriella and Arianna, two outstanding young leaders from Delaware who’ve been selected to come to Washington as part of the U.S. Senate Youth Program. Please join me to congratulate them for this outstanding recognition!
It's unbelievable that Trump and the DOGE boys think firing care providers and staff from the VA will "increase efficiency." It's another massive betrayal of the brave men and women who have served our nation. Unfortunately that's becoming par for the course for this president.
The headline 'Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo' from the Associated Press sits over a black and white photo of the Veterans Affairs building in Washington, D.C.
We should be doing everything we can to bring down grocery costs for families, not starting pointless trade wars to raise prices even further. As the cost-of-living crisis gets even worse, it's clear this administration isn't looking out for our communities.
Don't be fooled: every time he says ‘tariffs’, Trump is talking about alienating our allies and raising the cost of everything you buy. He doesn’t care about you, he cares about the chaos he can use as a distraction to enrich himself and his friends.
During his first term, Trump ran up the national debt giving his rich friends massive tax breaks. Now in his second term, he wants to pay for another huge tax cut by slashing your Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. This time is different, and so much worse.
Federal workers who show up every day looking for ways to improve the lives of people all across the country deserve better than the treatment they’ve received from this administration. Playing games with the lives of hard working public servants isn’t efficiency, it’s cruelty.
This is yet another installment in Trump’s long history of demeaning the brave men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces. It's insult to cruel injury for the thousands of veterans who now find themselves unemployed at the hands of this administration.
Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."
As we get settled into our new office here in the Senate, my team and I are so excited to welcome our first class of Senate interns! Are you a Delaware student who wants to get an up-close look at government and help us make an impact on people's lives? Apply today!
Using the bully pulpit doesn’t actually mean being a bully. This is a totally unreasonable way to conduct diplomacy, and a disgraceful way to treat an ally. We should all be standing with Ukraine as they continue their fight on the front line of democracy.
A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for U.S. support.
The last time we lost a child to measles in this country was 2003. My heart goes out to all the families affected by the ongoing outbreak. This terrible disease making a comeback is NOT normal. We need and deserve leaders who understand the urgency of this moment.
Q: A young child just died of measles in Texas. Do you have a comment? RFK Jr.: It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time (This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years)
From breathable air to drinkable water, Delawareans rely on the EPA staff to protect our valuable natural resources and keep our communities healthy. This proposal is outrageous— rolling back decades of progress. Unacceptable.
President Trump said during his cabinet meeting on Wednesday that Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, intended to fire 65% of employees. Agency officials said the cuts would make it impossible to carry out their mission.
The way this administration has intimidated and mistreated thousands of dedicated federal workers is unacceptable, and I'm fighting to hold them accountable. Grateful to the workers who stopped me in the hall to discuss how, together, we can stand up to the chaos.
