Slashes defense funding.
Cuts lifesaving medical research.
Gives Donald Trump and Elon Musk unprecedented and unchecked control.
This funding bill is anything but clean. I’m voting no.

Let’s be clear about what happened at the White House this week: Trump turned the People's House into a car dealership to boost the stock price for the billionaire who continues to bankroll him and his political allies. That’s corruption at its most blatant.
Homophobia and transphobia have no place in our state of neighbors, or anywhere else in the country. I'm proud to stand with the members of the LGBTQ community, and I'll keep working for the dignity and equality of every American. www.delawareonline.com/story/news/l...
Trump’s chaos is actively creating a more unsafe world.
So why is nearly every Republican in Washington this week supporting a cut to the defense spending we need to keep us safe?
I was blessed to catch up with Pastor Thomas Wilder of Birmingham’s Bethel Baptist Church on my pilgrimage to Alabama this weekend, and hear his powerful reflection for Lent: Keep your spirit strong.
RFK thinks the the first American measles death in a decade is 'normal.' It's certainly not normal, and neither is having a health secretary who ignores established science. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Jeanne Shaheen will leave behind a huge hole in the Senate – not just as one of the strongest voices of reason we have, but as a kind, thoughtful and caring friend and colleague. I’ll miss her around here a lot. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...
Trump doesn’t care about lowering inflation, reducing unemployment, or growing our economy—he’s too busy worrying about Tesla's stock price. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
I’m glad the Trump administration is beginning to see the truth: the Ukrainian people who are fighting and dying aren't the obstacle to ending this war—Russia is. We need to continue to staunchly support Ukraine until they achieve a just and lasting peace.
Trump promised to lower prices on day 1: ❌
Trump promised he’d buy a Tesla: ✅
Glad he’s keeping the important promises.

This weekend also reminded me of the bravery of my friend, the late Rep. John Lewis. John never gave up on the promise of America. Neither may we.
The Trump economic plan:
Phase 1: Tank the stock market.
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit.
Every time I visit Selma, the courage and patriotism of those who marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge astonishes me. Proud to join colleagues this weekend to mark 60 years since Bloody Sunday and reaffirm our commitment to justice, equality, and hope.
Great to see my friend and fellow Delawarean Bryan Stevenson while in Selma this weekend to mark 60 years since Bloody Sunday, who shared some Lenten reflections with me after speaking to a bipartisan group of public officials.
This International Women’s Day, I’m celebrating all of the incredible women in my life, the trailblazers who have defined our history, and the leaders who will shape our future.
The fight continues for that fairer, more equal future.
On this day 60 years ago, the resilience of the fearless men and women who marched in Selma, Alabama, in the face of brutal oppression, became a turning point in our nation's long journey toward equality.
I’ll keep fighting to build a more just society for all. riponsociety.org/article/why-...
"Move fast and break things" may seem like a fine slogan for a startup, but it's a terrible concept to apply to the government's global pandemic response. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
More than a quarter of American seniors depend on Social Security as their only source of income. Their lives depend on it. If Elon Musk's unelected DOGE bros can't look at the program without making 'mistakes,' they should stay the hell away from it.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
This is chilling. A private company using its connections to President Trump to coerce advertisers to spend money on their platform should concern anyone who believes in fair competition and the rule of law. www.wsj.com/business/med...
