The Trump arch, the Trump garden of heroes, the Trump-Kennedy Center, President Donald J. Trump Airport, the list goes on. Why should your tax dollars have to pay for an unpopular president's vanity projects?
A man who physically attacked the seat of our nation's government cannot be trusted to uphold that nation's secrets. This is just the latest incident of the Trump administration putting slavish devotion over competence, and Americans will be less safe because of it.
Exclusive: A convicted Jan. 6 rioter who later said that he regretted his participation in the U.S. Capitol attack has been hired by the Trump administration to work inside a Pentagon office that manages highly classified military operations.
Hiring a Trump hatchet man with no intelligence experience – one who abused his office to carry out political attacks – to lead our nation’s intelligence agencies is just more proof that Trump doesn’t care about Americans’ safety.
BREAKING: President Trump taps housing finance director Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard.
Happy Pride Month! I’m proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community in Delaware, across the country, and around the world, and I’ll keep working in the Senate to defend and expand your rights until full equality is truly achieved.
Graphic saying "Happy Pride Month!"
I don’t trust Trump’s word, and neither do the American people. I’m looking forward to working with my @democrats.senate.gov colleagues to permanently ban this slush fund. If Republicans in Congress are as opposed to this fund as they claim, they should have no problem joining us.
The Trump administration plans to drop its controversial $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund the president sought to compensate alleged victims of prosecutorial conduct under his predecessor, 2 senior administration officials told Axios.
The Protect College Sports Act helps student-athletes, enshrining NIL rights in law, protecting them from predatory agents, and requiring health care coverage, whether you’re playing DI football or DIII fencing.
Trump should stop wasting his time trying to put himself on money and spend his time figuring out how to make your money go further.
Trump administration officials have pressed the office responsible for printing the nation’s money to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait. It would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years: wapo.st/4vlxiMg
As co-chair of the bipartisan Senate ALS Caucus, I’m proud to join Senators Murkowski, Cotton, and Whitehouse in introducing a resolution to raise awareness, support ALS research, and keep pushing for better treatments and, one day, a cure.
As #ALSAwarenessMonth comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the friends and family I’ve seen devastated by this cruel disease, and on the courage of those living with ALS.
I’m proud to introduce the Protect College Sports Act with Senator Cruz and Senator @cantwell.senate.gov because we can make college sports better: better for fans, better for schools, and most of all, better for student-athletes no matter what school they go to or what sport they play.
Every American wants and needs the opportunity to succeed, security in their home and future, and a just nation. Read my op-ed in Bay-to-Bay news on how I’m working in Washington on policies from raising the minimum wage to responsible AI regulation that will make those three things realities.
This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice has protected our freedom, and Delaware carries a solemn responsibility to honor them, remember them, and never forget all they gave.
Our faith traditions teach us to welcome the stranger, love our neighbor, and uphold human dignity. Instead of spending billions more on unaccountable ICE agents, we should be focus on the least of these: Americans struggling to put food on the table or keep roofs over their heads.
AI-generated deepfakes are already being used to scam, exploit, impersonate, and profit off people without their consent. That’s why I reintroduced the NO FAKES Act to create clear protections so Americans can control how their voice and likeness are used in the age of AI.
In three months alone, President Trump made thousands of stock trades worth hundreds of millions of dollars – often in companies he’d praise the very same day. This is brazen corruption.
Republicans slashed health care tax credits to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy – and now your deductible is climbing by as much as $1,000 as a result. What did they think would happen?
Every other president in modern history has released their tax returns. Not only has Trump failed to do so, now he has a license from his own administration not to have his taxes checked – a license to cheat and rip off the government.
