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.
Air pollution alone kills more than 40 Delawareans each year. Trump wants you to believe pollution doesn't have a cost.
I'll never stop working for climate action and environmental justice.
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.
This is what “government efficiency” looks like: paying for thousands of tons of food to rot on docks overseas.
USAID was saving lives. Trump, Musk, and DOGE are letting people starve.
For once, I actually agree with RFK Jr.
But shouldn’t the nation’s top healthcare official be someone we can take medical advice from?
.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?
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.

This would be a problem if the president read his daily intelligence brief (he doesn’t). www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/u...
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.
Ahead of Trump’s Middle East trip, half my Senate Democrat colleagues joined me in urging him to secure a new ceasefire and restart the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Hamas must be destroyed, but a full reoccupation of Gaza would be a disaster for Israelis and Palestinians.
Republicans just proposed a budget that would kick nearly 14 million Americans off their health insurance––just to fund another massive tax break for billionaires. They're not looking out for you.
Trump’s new Social Security Administrator, Frank Bisignano, supports Trump's and Musk's plans to destroy Social Security.
Is it too much too ask that someone in the administration stand with hard-working families and support our seniors?
The Trojan Horse was a gift, too.
President Trump & Elon Musk: Don’t take America out of AmeriCorps. The richest men on the planet shouldn’t be focused on dismantling services for the most vulnerable of our neighbors. I’ll keep standing up in the Senate for these programs because they make our country and its people better.
Let's be clear about what we've seen in the last 24 hours: Republicans are OK with Trump getting a $400 million jet from the Emir of Qatar, but they don't have any issues with kicking 8.6 million Americans off their health insurance.
