I’ve voted more than 10x to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and the rest of DHS. The Senate unanimously voted last week to do just that and sent a bipartisan deal to the House. House Republicans should do the right thing and pass the Senate’s bill.
If Republicans think they can sneak through a bill when nobody is looking to give even MORE money to ICE without meaningful reforms, I’ll rush back from Delaware to object as many times as it takes.
31 days ago, Trump started a war of choice in Iran, and we still don’t know why, or for how long, or how it ends. What we do know: 13 American troops are dead, hundreds are injured, and thousands more are headed to the region.
ICE operations make local police departments’ jobs harder by degrading trust in the community, and then those same departments get saddled with the cost of their mess when they leave. Our cities and our cops shouldn't have to pay the price for Trump's disastrous, chaotic immigration sweeps.
Democrats have tried to fund TSA 7 times as airport lines grow longer, & Republicans have blocked us every single time. Now, Trump is saying he doesn't want to fund TSA *at all* until we pass a completely unrelated bill to help Republicans win in November. It's crystal clear he wants this shutdown.
ICE at airports isn't about fixing delays, lowering costs, or helping families. It's about piling more stress onto already overwhelmed travelers. Instead of deploying ICE to intimidate travelers, he should agree with Democrats to fund TSA.
16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became law. Since then, tens of millions of Americans have gained affordable health care, even while Republicans constantly try to repeal it, gut it, or weaken it. I'm not backing down from the fight to protect the ACA and reverse the GOP’s health care cuts.
Serving others is one powerful way to live out our faith during Lent. I was grateful to spend time volunteering with my friend Jenny Warren in Wilmington and to talk about what active faith looks like in practice.
President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has made Americans less secure. DHS needs a foundational shift, and I am unsure if Senator Mullin—or any Trump-appointed nominee—is capable of carrying it out. I will oppose his nomination.
This is outrageous. Trump and Hegseth keep insisting we’re in a limited engagement in Iran, but this drastic increase in ground troops tells a very different story. You know what would offer clarity? Open hearings and honesty from this administration about what on earth the goals are in Iran.
What's Trump's and Leader Thune's top priority? It's not lowering your gas prices or making your health care costs more affordable. It's... letting DHS purge state voter rolls? They need to focus on the issues that actually matter.
Trump ran on lowering grocery costs for American families—but food prices have only increased, and his war of choice will send them skyrocketing as Iran blocks fertilizer shipments. That's what happens when you leave foreign policy up to an out-of-touch billionaire. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/11/i...
