Pardoning the January 6 cop-beaters on day one wasn't enough for Trump – now he's putting one of the insurrectionists in a high-ranking Justice Department position. This is what weaponization of the rule of law looks like. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

We need to be making it clear every day that the Republican agenda of high tariffs and stripping away healthcare from millions of vulnerable people to rig the tax code is going to raise everyone’s costs and make life harder for the middle class.
Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, and loved His neighbors — we’re told to do the same. But the GOP tax bill that just PASSED serves billionaires while starving those who need support the most. It’s immoral and unfaithful.
If you’re tuning into the Senate floor right now, here’s what’s at stake: children and seniors losing coverage, hospitals and nursing homes closing, ERs overrun. All to line the pockets of billionaires.
More than 24 hours after starting to vote on amendments, Republicans STILL haven’t finished making last minute changes to this bill.
Here’s what hasn’t changed – this bill will devastate thousands of families across Delaware.
It’s big. But it’s not beautiful. I’m still a NO.
My Republican colleagues don't know everything that's in the final bill we're about to vote on.
But they do know it strips healthcare from millions of Americans. And rigs the tax code even more for the ultra-wealthy. And explodes the deficit by trillions.
Apparently, that's enough for most of them.
The sun just rose at the Capitol, where my Democratic colleagues and I have spent all day and all night offering amendment after amendment to improve this so-called 'big beautiful bill,' but the GOP keeps blocking us.
I'm going to vote NO when—or if!—we finally vote on whether to pass the bill.
There are over 2,000 references in Scripture to caring for the poor—but not one that calls for stripping healthcare from vulnerable people to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. I know of no faith that preaches the values contained in the GOP tax bill we’re voting on tonight.
I don’t see how you can read the Gospels, and read the bill we’re voting on in the Senate today, and see the same spirit in both. My faith and values call on me to oppose this awful GOP tax bill.
Ask some of our nation’s most vulnerable citizens—seniors in nursing homes, disabled Americans, newborn children—if they think a bill that takes away their health care is ‘beautiful.’ I don’t think so either, and that’s why I’m in the Senate today ready to vote against this bill.
My Democratic colleagues have been voting all day—and we’ll keep at it—to make this bill less harmful. Republicans block our amendments because they like what the current bill does: it strips healthcare from millions of Americans to rig the tax code even more for the wealthy.
The GOP tax bill will wrap up millions of Americans – kids, seniors, folks with disabilities – with miles of red tape intended to make it impossible for them to keep their healthcare. I introduced an amendment to remove these obstacles. Nearly every Republican voted against it.
Nothing phony about it. Since Trump first pulled us out of the Iran nuclear deal, the world has only become more dangerous. He’s rushing to mission accomplished when what we need is to give our intelligence community time to do their jobs.
I’ve worked with Senator Thom Tillis for a decade on everything from human rights to intellectual property. We disagree on some significant topics, but he’s refused to sacrifice his constituents to get reelected. The Senate needs more people with Thom’s character, not fewer. He'll be missed.

Baptist minister and our President & CEO, Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social, explains why religious leaders should speak out against Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill,” which includes cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital social programs that uplift vulnerable people.

Apparently, President Trump really doesn’t like this clip about how his desired Iran nuclear deal is a reheated version of the same deal he pulled us out of. It would be a shame if you watched it.
Agricultural counties have always been Trump's strongest base of support. His tariffs are gutting farmers at the very moment they need his help.
If this is how he treats his supporters, imagine how he treats everyone else. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I know of no faith that teaches us to turn neighbor against neighbor
Immigrants strengthen Delaware’s economy and enrich our communities. I’ll always fight for them.
