Today is Juneteenth, a day to honor the end of slavery and confront its lasting legacy. In the face of efforts to roll back civil rights and progress on racial equality, we must keep fighting for justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
Afghan allies supported US forces for two decades and deserve our gratitude and respect. The Trump Administration is sending ICE agents and detention orders. I’m disgusted. How does this make us safer?
An Afghan ally who served alongside U.S. forces was legally paroled into the U.S. and showed up for his first hearing. DHS detained him anyway—using a vague “improvidently issued” excuse. He followed the rules. We have the video. This must stop. #AfghanEvac #DueProcess
Jeanné Lewis, CEO of @fplaction.bsky.social n knows that across all our faith traditions, one message remains constant: love your neighbor, care for the poor, widows, sick and hungry. The GOP’s tax bill does the opposite of that.
For 13 years, DACA has supported hundreds of thousands of Dreamers building their lives in the U.S. For 13 years, Congress has failed to provide them with a path to citizenship, and now Trump is once again trying to drive families out. This is their home, and I'm going to fight to keep it that way.
The US was at war in Afghanistan and Iraq for 20 years. We should not sleepwalk into another one. The administration needs to come to Congress immediately for a classified briefing on their Middle East strategy rather than tweeting our servicemembers in the region into graver danger.
Trump is dangerously undermining American leadership in nuclear energy. The NRC was created as an independent agency, tasked with the critical mission of ensuring the safety of our nuclear power plants and material. He needs to reconsider. apnews.com/article/nucl...
Secretary Hegseth is too focused on culture war issues to fight for enough funding for our warfighters. His tenure so far has been filled with chaos and a lack of focus, and it's making Americans less safe.
Thank you, Rev. Carlos Malave for joining me at last week's Pentecost vigil and reminding us who we should be listening to as we stand up against the GOP’s immoral tax bill.
Faith can bring us together, like we saw on Capitol Hill last week. Among hundreds of faith leaders, I felt moved by our aligned commitment to helping those on the margins of society rather than hurting them by further rigging the tax code like the GOP pushes for. religionnews.com/2025/06/10/f...
Political violence has no place in America. Proud to join my fellow elected leaders in Delaware today for a joint statement about the horrifying shootings in Minnesota.
Text of a joint statement by Delaware's elected leaders about the violence in Minnesota.
People around the world – in dictatorships and democracies alike – look to our nation as an example. We should all be troubled by the lessons they will learn from the assault of my colleague @padilla.senate.gov yesterday.
Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social and his family have long been leaders of the Social Gospel, and Congress ought to listen to his message: a budget must unite us, not divide us. We cannot allow the GOP tax bill to take from the most vulnerable among us to benefit the wealthiest Americans.
I was proud to host a vigil on the Capitol steps with hundreds of faith leaders this week. We come from different backgrounds & faiths, but we all agree on one thing: any bill that takes away support from our nation's most vulnerable to benefit the wealthy is unjust and immoral.
I've just watched the video of an alarming – even disgusting – display of force to remove my friend and colleague, @padilla.senate.gov. Oversight is a critical part of our job here in Congress, and how this plays out will be essential to the next step in our democracy.
Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)
Folks in Delaware understand perfectly Elon Musk’s legacy: cuts to key institutions like Social Security that mean longer wait times, delayed benefits, and more confusion for those who need help most.
Under Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, the Pentagon has repeatedly been A.W.O.L., endangering our warfighters, weakening our military readiness, and giving back our competitive edge over China. This is simply making Americans less safe.
President Trump's tariffs are going to slow economic growth, weaken employment, and send inflation skyrocketing. What's his response? Disable the non-partisan agency trusted by Wall Street and Main Street alike that measures growth, employment, and inflation. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
