It took two and a half months, tens of billions of dollars, 13 dead American servicemembers, 8 votes, and skyrocketing gas prices before enough Republican Senators stood up and said no to Trump’s disastrous war of choice in Iran.   Finally.
BREAKING: The Senate advances a bill aimed at ending the Iran war after GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, defeated in primary, switches to support it.
Some facts: The reflecting pool was supposed to cost $2 million and be done last week. Now it'll be done last week and costs seven times as much. "Ahead of schedule" is about as real as his promise to bring down costs on day 1 or his concepts of a plan to improve your health care.
What happened at the Islamic Center of San Diego today is devastating. I’m praying for the victims & their loved ones. This is horrifying, & it didn't happen in a vacuum. Muslim communities in this nation have been demonized & treated as inherently suspect by those willing to fuel fear for power.
Let’s call this what it is: a billion dollar slush fund for Trump to reward felons, insurrectionists, and cronies, paid for by YOUR taxpayer dollars. It’s bad enough that this DOJ already believes it works for Donald Trump. Now, it’s giving him its budget to use as his personal piggy bank.
DOJ announces creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by Biden administration https://cnn.it/4tFCkla
I hope every student who joined us at this morning’s Delaware Youth Conference leaves recognizing something important: in this country, elected officials work for you. You get to ask us the questions, and we owe you answers.
Speaking today with some of Delaware’s best and brightest students about what’s at stake for their education and their futures. While Republicans cut funding for education, nutrition, and health care, I’ll keep fighting for strong investments to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.
The Trump Economy is not working for American families. Plain and simple. Rent is too high, groceries cost too much, and health care is too expensive. He needs to be working to lower costs, but instead, he's focused on anything but that.
U.S. arms sales to Taiwan aren't negotiating chips – they're required by law under the Taiwan Relations Act. More than that, they're central to a free and open Indo-Pacific, and our own national and economic security.
We've known for decades that mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential. So why are patients and providers still at the mercy of whoever happens to be on the bench? This SCOTUS ruling is only temporary. We need full, lasting access to medication abortion.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court preserves access to widely used abortion pill, mifepristone, while a lawsuit plays out.
That includes my bipartisan Recruit and Retain Act, now law, which helps police departments hire and retain qualified officers so they can better protect and serve our communities.
Happy National Police Week! As co-chair of the bipartisan Senate Law Enforcement Caucus, I’m always working to ensure law enforcement has the tools, training, and support they need.
The Supreme Court is on a mission to dilute Black voting power and weaken the protections generations fought to secure. The Roberts' Court's assault on the Voting Rights Act needs to end.
13 million of your taxpayer dollars. To repaint the Reflecting Pool. To a handpicked contractor with no competitive bidding. This isn't a vanity project; it's a national scandal.
Repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will now cost $13.1 million. Trump had promised $1.8 million. The Interior Department added $6.2 million to the no-bid contract for repairs late last week. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...
It was an out-of-this-world honor to meet Commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen yesterday. Thank you to the Artemis II crew for your courage and commitment to discovery. Your mission represents the best of American ingenuity and is an inspiration to everyone.
During National Police Week, we honor the officers who gave their lives in service to their communities and thank those who continue to protect us. To officers in Delaware, at the Capitol, and across the country: thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication to keeping others safe.
The only person who wants this is Trump. If President Trump wants to honor America’s 250th, he should listen to what Americans are actually asking for: lower costs, affordable health care, and an end to the war of choice in Iran.
