I’m proud of Delaware’s efforts to keep dangerous weapons off the streets. If President Trump refuses to keep our children safe, it's up to us. www.delawareonline.com/story/news/l...

Trump’s judicial nominations make clear he is prioritizing radical conservative ideology over legal experience. Federal judges have a duty to the Constitution and the rule of law—not to expand Trump's executive power. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
@revadamtaylor.bsky.social agrees: the GOP’s tax bill is deeply immoral. Thank you for speaking up for the most vulnerable and those stuck in the quicksand of poverty when they are under attack here in Washington.
Under Secretary Hegseth, this is literally what the Pentagon's budget page looks like now.
But it may as well be his plan to stand by our allies.
Or strengthen military readiness.
Or protect classified intel that could put warfighters’ lives at risk.
He needs to find answers—fast.
A budget is a moral document. The GOP budget—slashing Medicaid and food stamps to rig the tax code in favor of the ultra-wealthy—is an immoral document. I was honored to welcome hundreds of faith leaders to the Senate steps today to bear witness against this disastrous tax bill.
Grateful to co-host a vigil at the US Capitol with Rev. @jimwallis.bsky.social for hundreds of faith leaders to bear witness against the GOP’s immoral tax bill. As Rev. Wallis reminded us, we are taught: “Do not forget the least of these.” That’s exactly what this immoral legislation does.
RFK Jr spent decades peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies. Now, he’s defunding global vaccine projects, cancelling research, and firing the doctors and scientists who oversee our national vaccine guidance.
This is why I opposed his nomination. His legacy at HHS will lead to deaths at home and abroad.

Update: this group has marched to the Capitol steps, where Sens. Chris Coons, Raphael Warnock and Chuck Schumer have met them.
They’re signing as they march.
In about 15 minutes, I'll be hosting @revjimwallis.bsky.social and several hundred clergy and faith leaders from around the country on the steps of the Capitol for a Pentecost witness against the GOP's immoral tax bill. I hope you'll tune in here:
Read my full statement about President Trump's decision to deploy Marines to Los Angeles here ⤵️
Our warfighters are not political tools to patrol the streets of our cities or to suppress the political views of their fellow citizens. They put on the uniform of the United States to defend Americans and American values. Today, they’re being called on to police American citizens on American soil.
I recently heard from a Delawarean named Brigitte who has complex cerebral palsy and relies on Medicaid for a wheelchair, home care, therapies, and transportation. For Brigitte and millions of others, Medicaid means independence and community. We can’t let Republicans gut this lifeline.
Trump’s travel ban on 19 countries takes effect today—a revival of his cruel, immoral Muslim ban. It will once again cause chaos, inflict pain, and tear families apart. Congress must act, and it can start by passing my NO BAN Act.
After firing their medical researchers, it's no surprise this administration doesn't know the facts.
But the research is clear: People WILL literally die because of the GOP tax bill. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...
Republicans just aren’t telling the truth when they say their tax bill won’t cut anyone off Medicaid. The truth is, 16 million people will lose health care, and everyone will pay the price—including you.
Trump's new executive order is the latest attempt to institute his unpopular and immoral Muslim ban. Fear and bigotry do not keep Americans safe. What this will do instead is cause chaos, inflict pain, and break apart families, just as his prior attempts did.
Read my full statement here:
Turns out taking away health care from up to 16 million people still won’t even come close to paying for Republicans’ new tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy—so they also want to add $2.4 trillion in new debt on our children to get it done. www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/p...
No matter how hard you try—and believe me, I’ve tried—you can’t fit more than 1,440 minutes into a day.
So why is the leader of our nation’s military spending any of his minutes renaming oiler ships?
The GOP's tax bill is a bad deal—for children, workers, the middle class, families, seniors. They all pay more so billionaires can get another tax break. Does that sound fair to you?
Things Trump’s cabinet secretaries have had to look up:
💵 Social Security Administrator: “What is Social Security?”
📜 Homeland Security Secretary: “What is Habeas Corpus?”
🌊 FEMA administrator: “What is hurricane season?”
Forget about hiring the best. He can’t even hire people who know the basics.
