Faith can bring us together, like we saw on Capitol Hill last week. Among hundreds of faith leaders, I felt moved by our aligned commitment to helping those on the margins of society rather than hurting them by further rigging the tax code like the GOP pushes for. religionnews.com/2025/06/10/f...
Political violence has no place in America. Proud to join my fellow elected leaders in Delaware today for a joint statement about the horrifying shootings in Minnesota.
Text of a joint statement by Delaware's elected leaders about the violence in Minnesota.
People around the world – in dictatorships and democracies alike – look to our nation as an example. We should all be troubled by the lessons they will learn from the assault of my colleague @padilla.senate.gov yesterday.
Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social and his family have long been leaders of the Social Gospel, and Congress ought to listen to his message: a budget must unite us, not divide us. We cannot allow the GOP tax bill to take from the most vulnerable among us to benefit the wealthiest Americans.
I was proud to host a vigil on the Capitol steps with hundreds of faith leaders this week. We come from different backgrounds & faiths, but we all agree on one thing: any bill that takes away support from our nation's most vulnerable to benefit the wealthy is unjust and immoral.
I've just watched the video of an alarming – even disgusting – display of force to remove my friend and colleague, @padilla.senate.gov. Oversight is a critical part of our job here in Congress, and how this plays out will be essential to the next step in our democracy.
Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)
Folks in Delaware understand perfectly Elon Musk’s legacy: cuts to key institutions like Social Security that mean longer wait times, delayed benefits, and more confusion for those who need help most.
Under Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, the Pentagon has repeatedly been A.W.O.L., endangering our warfighters, weakening our military readiness, and giving back our competitive edge over China. This is simply making Americans less safe.
President Trump's tariffs are going to slow economic growth, weaken employment, and send inflation skyrocketing. What's his response? Disable the non-partisan agency trusted by Wall Street and Main Street alike that measures growth, employment, and inflation. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
Trump’s judicial nominations make clear he is prioritizing radical conservative ideology over legal experience. Federal judges have a duty to the Constitution and the rule of law—not to expand Trump's executive power. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
@revadamtaylor.bsky.social agrees: the GOP’s tax bill is deeply immoral. Thank you for speaking up for the most vulnerable and those stuck in the quicksand of poverty when they are under attack here in Washington.
Under Secretary Hegseth, this is literally what the Pentagon's budget page looks like now. But it may as well be his plan to stand by our allies. Or strengthen military readiness. Or protect classified intel that could put warfighters’ lives at risk. He needs to find answers—fast.
Senator Chris Coons holds up a printout of a web page that is supposed to lead the Pentagon's budget request. It is a "404 not found" error page.
A budget is a moral document. The GOP budget—slashing Medicaid and food stamps to rig the tax code in favor of the ultra-wealthy—is an immoral document. I was honored to welcome hundreds of faith leaders to the Senate steps today to bear witness against this disastrous tax bill.
Grateful to co-host a vigil at the US Capitol with Rev. @jimwallis.bsky.social for hundreds of faith leaders to bear witness against the GOP’s immoral tax bill. As Rev. Wallis reminded us, we are taught: “Do not forget the least of these.” That’s exactly what this immoral legislation does.
RFK Jr spent decades peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies. Now, he’s defunding global vaccine projects, cancelling research, and firing the doctors and scientists who oversee our national vaccine guidance. This is why I opposed his nomination. His legacy at HHS will lead to deaths at home and abroad.
Update: this group has marched to the Capitol steps, where Sens. Chris Coons, Raphael Warnock and Chuck Schumer have met them. They’re signing as they march.
There’s a sizable protest of what appears to be entirely faith leaders and clearly outside the Capitol right now, with the demonstrators speaking out against the GOP-led budget. It’s a Pentecost gathering “for a moral budget.” Lawmakers are also expected to appear.
Faith leaders gathered for a rally.
Faith leaders gathered for a rally. One sign reads “Jesus weeps! No SNAP cuts!”
Faith leaders gathered for a rally. Signs read “Mennonites for peace” and “God calls me to love my neighbor.”
