This isn't just insane, dangerous, and illegal – it's an insult to the U.S. armed forces. Our warfighters are the greatest fighting force in the world. Trump thinks they're more valuable running errands for DHS than competing with China.

Republicans are lying about undocumented immigrants to distract from their real goal: taking away YOUR health care.
20 million Americans will see skyrocketing health insurance costs if Republicans choose to let ACA tax credits expire.
Bringing our nation's top military generals in from around the world and putting them in one place is a massive national security risk. If you're going to do that, you better have a hell of better reason for it than to spout off Twitter hashtags.
Today’s the last day to fund the government—and Republicans have thrown their hands up and done nothing to protect health care or ensure federal workers get paid.
Secretary Hegseth and President Trump pulled in hundreds of military leaders from front lines around the world and put them all in a room so he can lecture them about "toxic leadership" and grooming standards. We need a Defense Secretary focused on fighting real wars instead of culture wars.
Why is the Trump administration bailing out Argentines and hedge funds while farmers watch their incomes evaporate and everyday Americans see healthcare costs spiraling upward?
To state the obvious: imported bathroom vanity cabinets are NOT a threat to our national security.
Congress needs to act and stop these unjustified and self-destructive tariffs.
Doctors agree: Tylenol, vaccines, and mifepristone are safe and effective. Americans want the government to listen to science. Trump and RFK don't care about science—they just care about control.
Trump promised Americans last year he wouldn't go after abortion. Trump lied.
Last year's government funding included tax credits for health care. A "clean" funding bill would keep those tax credits.
It's not hard to understand, but Republicans are willing to shut the government down over it.
Reposted bySenator Chris Coons
Instead of negotiating, the Trump admin is trying a different strategy: threaten to do something they’re already doing.
While Republicans play games with federal workers’ lives, Democrats are fighting to restore health care for millions of Americans.
We are not the same.
Trump’s tariffs aren’t just raising prices, they’re slowing down our economy. That’s bad news for workers who will lose their jobs, manufacturers who will sell less, and small businesses who will be forced to shut their doors.
All Trump’s cuts to food assistance have done are force more American kids and families to go hungry, and he knows it. Why else is he canceling USDA's report showing the impact of these awful cuts?
Those brought to America as children deserve stability and the knowledge that they won't be deported from the only country many of them have ever known. I'm proud to support the America's Children Act and to support Documented Dreamers on their immigration journey to become citizens of this country.
Last week, Senate Democrats' plan to keep the government open received more votes than Republicans' – but Trump's allies still blocked it. If the government shuts down, it's on them.
Why are Trump and his administration willing to go deeper into debt to bail out the Argentine president before a bailout for the American people?
The GOP’s Big Ugly Bill still rips coverage away from millions, forces hospitals to shut down, and drives up premiums—all to give huge tax breaks to their donors. If your health care costs spike next year, you know who's responsible.
The president and his party control the House and the Senate. If we have a shutdown, it's their shutdown.
Republicans have blocked Democrats out of the budget process because we’re standing up for families struggling with rising health care costs.
They’re fighting for the wealthy. We’re fighting for working Americans. That’s the difference between us.
