Our research universities are the rocket fuel for America’s economic strength. The Trump administration is trying to end our country’s run as the capital of global innovation.

Elon Musk and his DOGE bros think vampires are collecting Social Security.
Dracula is fiction – and so is the notion of widespread fraud at the Social Security Administration.
The damage DOGE is doing to grandma's benefits, however, is very real. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Our national parks are some of our nation's biggest tourist sites, but thanks to Trump's reckless firing of park workers, our parks won't be ready for this year's crush of visitors. Local economies and natural treasures across the country will pay the price. www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2025/...
If you can't trust this administration to create a group chat, can you trust that they can make cuts to the Social Security Administration without harming benefits? www.axios.com/2025/03/24/s...
There are few people on earth who know the importance of protecting our planet more than Dr. Jane Goodall, and few who are better at preserving hope that we can still do so. Honored to host Dr. Goodall at the Capitol for discussions about the actions we can still take to conserve nature globally.
Trump's Commerce Secretary thinks your grandma is a "fraudster" if she’s complaining about her Social Security check being late. www.axios.com/2025/03/21/s...
I visited Delaware State University's Department of Education today to hear from faculty about the damage Trump’s and Musk’s cuts will cause to our state’s schools, but I still made some time to sit with some of our youngest Delawareans and have my soul lifted while sharing a good book.
Making grandma go to a Social Security office instead of solving her issue over the phone—while closing offices all across the country—isn’t government efficiency. It’s a cut to Social Security benefits. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Judge Chuang’s ruling confirms what we've known all along: Congress created USAID, and only Congress can close it—not Elon Musk and his unelected DOGE bureaucrats. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/u...
Republicans in Congress are getting ready to cut $880 billion from Medicaid and other vital health care programs that 41,000 Delawareans rely on. You can't cut that much just by targeting waste–only by going after children, seniors, and pregnant women. www.delawareonline.com/story/news/h...
Trump told Americans he'd remove "dangerous criminals." In reality, he's detaining 6-year-olds who haven't seen sunlight in weeks.
www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...
When former Social Security commissioners from both parties sound the alarm on DOGE’s cuts, it’s time to listen. This isn’t about politics—it’s about protecting a lifeline for millions of Americans from reckless demolition. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/b...
Given the choice between Social Security and another tax break for the ultra-wealthy, Republicans will hang older Americans out to dry every single time.
Someone has to hold them accountable. You can count on me.
Project 2025's creator is taking a "victory lap" while Americans lose healthcare, education funding, and consumer protections. Trump lied to the American people – Project 2025 was the plan all along. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
From these readouts, it's clear that Russia remains the obstacle to peace in Europe. I'm glad to see a halt on infrastructure strikes, but many of Putin's "requests" like a ban on arms or intel sharing make clear what he is after—a neutered Ukraine that cannot defend itself.
Trump’s economic policies aren’t solving the housing crisis. His tariffs are simply making it worse. apnews.com/article/tari...
The January 6 rioters who Trump pardoned are arguing that their pardons even cover their attempts to kill the law enforcement officials who investigated them. Trump never should have put these would-be murderers back on the streets. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
39 Americans were killed in storms across the country this weekend—and Trump was celebrating his club's golf championship.
Trump only cares about himself, not about showing leadership.
Eliminating the Department of Education is a terrible idea, and an incredibly unpopular one to boot—but Republicans need to find money to fund their tax cuts for billionaires, so they're trying to axe it anyway.

Breaking News: Canada is a country. Not the 51st state.
Glad Trump’s nominee to be the next ambassador to Ottawa agrees. www.notus.org/senate/trump...
