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...
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...
