I’m voting NO on the GOP’s broken tax bill because it rips healthcare and food assistance away from children, seniors, and people in need in order to give a few of the wealthiest Americans another massive tax break.
I’m horrified to hear of the killing of two Israeli diplomats just blocks from our Capitol tonight at an event celebrating Washington’s Jewish community. This is a disgusting act of anti-Semitic violence that advances no cause but violence and destruction.
Prices for food, fuel, and other everyday goods are already spiking in Delaware, and now Trump and Republicans are pushing a bill that slashes clean energy projects and ends critical tax credits. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs for working families.
Why should you be alarmed about Trump suspending habeas corpus and due process? Because it means that, even on accident, he could detain anyone. Even you. ⁣ Read my Fox News op-ed about why due process is so important here: www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
Trump has long been a threat to reproductive rights. ⁣ ⁣ In this time of uncertainty, you can count on me to fight for access to contraception, abortion care, and fertility treatments for women in red and blue states alike.
About 1 in 9 Delawareans rely on SNAP to help them afford and have access to food.  But Trump's and the GOP's ‘big, beautiful bill’ would gut the SNAP. They started his term by starving the rest of the world. Now, they're starving Americans.
Why am I taking a stand against Trump’s reconciliation bill? Because no faith I know teaches that it’s righteous to take away food or healthcare from children and seniors to benefit the wealthiest in our society.
Over the last few weeks, Americans have narrowly escaped air disasters due to system failures and staffing shortages at the FAA.⁣ ⁣ Good news: Trump's focused on air travel. Bad news: He's focused on a $400 million "palace in the sky" for himself, not on your safety.
Delaware's seniors have earned their Social Security benefits over a lifetime of hard work.⁣ ⁣ I won’t let Republicans dismantle the program millions of Americans rely on to retire with dignity.
Joe Biden has always been a fighter, and I know that won’t change as he confronts this disease head-on. Joe’s faith and family have brought him through tough challenges before and will again. Our prayers are with him and his family as he begins treatment.
Annie and I are praying for Joe and Jill as they confront his prostate cancer diagnosis. Over his decades of public service, Joe comforted so many of us in tough times and contributed so much to fighting cancer. Now we need to support and encourage him.
AmeriCorps members are the heartbeat of our nation’s commitment to service. My message to Donald Trump and Elon Musk is simple: Don’t take America out of @americorps.bsky.social.
.0018% odds that a Social Security claim is “likely fraudulent.” We literally have a better chance of getting hit by an asteroid. So why are Republicans letting Trump, Musk, and DOGE destroy Social Security over it?
SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%
Due process isn’t just for undocumented immigrants. It’s for stopping US citizens from being deported. It’s for you. Trump’s efforts to attack due process for deportations should alarm every one of us. Read my new op-ed in @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy here ⤵️ www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
What did we get from Trump's "deal" with China? We still have the highest tariffs on imports since the 1930s, costing families thousands of dollars a year for everyday purchases—and that's before his full tariffs kick back in. Trump's ego won this deal. Americans lost it.
