The message I heard from Delawareans this week was clear: they're working harder than ever and still falling behind. Here in the Senate, we have a responsibility to give them a hand up by making life more affordable and opportunities more plentiful.

We’ll be voting all day—and probably all night—on Republicans’ party line bill to fund Trump’s mass deportation effort. Republicans would rather give ICE a blank check than support commonsense, popular reforms that law enforcement officers around the country abide by every day.
Trump is spending:
$100 million on a "victory arch"
$1 billion on his ballroom
$1.8 billion on his slush fund
$13.1 million to repaint the Reflecting Pool
But nothing to lower costs for you and your family
Congress needs to restore the Voting Rights Act and protect Black voters’ voices, power, and representation.
SCOTUS let Alabama use a map that lower courts found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. The right to vote is how Americans shape their future. Republicans know their ideas can’t compete on their merits, so they draw discriminatory maps to force that unpopular agenda through anyway.
They can either join me or make clear they’re fine with Trump’s disgusting slush fund.
Trump has said twice today that his $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off cop-beaters, campaign donors, and insurrectionists is still on the table, and I believe him.
That’s why I’m introducing an amendment to the Republican spending bill to permanently ban it.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Too many Delawareans feel like they’re working as hard as they can, but wages are slipping further behind the cost of living, and they don’t know if anyone in Washington can hear them.
I’m not just listening to you—I’m working to help. Read more in my new op-ed here.
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.
