I'll always fight for an economy that lowers costs, strengthens America’s energy security, and puts the financial stability of Delaware families ahead of Trump’s chaotic agenda.
As we wait to hear more about the ceasefire, one thing is clear: just like every time Trump negotiates, he made horrific and unbelievable threats, backtracked, and ultimately harmed American credibility to secure a deal that leaves our nation worse off.
This is a threat to commit a war crime by President Trump. Destroying the infrastructure that civilians depend on to survive is not strategy, and it is not strength—it’s barbaric. This is not how an American president should speak, let alone act.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, wage growth is slowing, and gas prices have surged more than $1 a gallon in just a month. Under this administration, working families are watching their paychecks cover less every week.
If you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills, support your family, and live with dignity. No one working 40 hours a week should be forced to choose between groceries, rent, and gas.
What is this war about? Regime change? Supporting Iranian protesters? Now, a month in, we yet have another goal. Trump said it himself: he wants to make “plenty of money” by seizing control of more of the global oil supply.
Trump on Iran: "If I had my choice, I'd like to take the oil. Because it's there for the taking. There's not a thing they can do about it. Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me I'd take the oil, I'd keep the oil, and would make plenty of money."
I recently co-authored a report showing that when Republicans defund Planned Parenthood, women pay the price. Women around the country have lost access to preventive care, cancer screenings, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing help is there when they need it.
This budget goes far beyond that. It reflects leadership that is in way over their heads, and it will leave already struggling Americans sicker, poorer, and less secure.
Now, he’s proposed a budget with $73 billion in domestic cuts despite asking for a 44% increase in military funding for foreign wars. We must support our service members and make sure our military has what it needs to keep us safe.
Delaware families need relief from climbing health care bills, grocery costs, and gas prices. Instead of helping, Trump says there’s no money for Medicaid, Medicare, or child care.
This purge of senior military leaders should alarm every American. With no clear path to ending the war in Iran, experience, and trusted leadership matter more than ever. Instead, Trump and Hegseth are pushing out senior officers for seemingly no valid reason. baptistnews.com/article/for-...
During Holy Week, and for the first time in our nation’s history, Secretary Hegseth fired the head of the Army Chaplain Corps, Major General William Green, without explanation. General Green is a decorated leader who tended to our military’s spiritual health with honor and distinction.
I’m praying for the crew aboard the downed fighter jet, their families, and loved ones, and for all those risking their lives to bring them home. And I’m praying for an end to this reckless war that has endangered American troops, jeopardized national security, and hurt our economy.
BREAKING: U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran, search underway for crew
I’ll evaluate any nominee fairly using my usual criteria: qualifications, independence, and vision. But given Trump’s record, I’ll scrutinize the next AG nominee with exacting standards.
Somehow her allegiance to Trump wasn’t enough. It’s alarming to hear he may seek someone even more subservient and willing to weaponize the justice system for personal, financial, and political gain.
