Some of my Republican @senateapprops.bsky.social colleagues have leveled absurd claims about Trump's disastrous cuts to biomedical research in today's hearing. It's about to be my turn to speak. Watch here: www.appropriations.senate.gov/hearings/bio...

A big majority of voters already think Trump’s policies are what’s damaging our economy. The American people don’t believe you, Mr. President.
Tariffs and chaos are bad for the economy, actually.
Annie and I are praying for the injured members of the UD community and the family of the person who was killed in Tuesday’s horrific crash on Main Street.
100 days of Donald Trump. 100 days of broken promises.
In 100 days, Trump has put tariffs on, taken tariffs off, delayed them, increased them, and now changed them once again. How are you going to grow our economy when manufacturers don’t know what tariffs they’ll face a month from now, let alone five years from now?
Social Security offices are already overwhelmed. So why is DOGE slashing staff and creating chaos? Trump and Musk call it "efficiency." I call it breaking a system Delawareans rely on. www.yahoo.com/news/social-...
Legal scholars across the political spectrum have described the past 100 days as an assault on our democracy by a president who believes he’s above our laws. Our nation's Constitution is not a list of suggestions. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/o...
Congratulations to @mark-carney.bsky.social on his electoral success last night! As our closest neighbor and ally, I know my Senate colleagues and I look forward to working together with him to repair our economic and security relationships and defend our mutual sovereignty.
This is what happens when you get rid of due process—you deport U.S. citizens, even children with cancer. This administration is poised to break our laws for the next four years. The stain it will leave on our nation will last for much longer.
In just 100 days, Trump drove the American economy to the brink of crisis. I'll fight every day against these reckless policies threatening our economic security. www.cnn.com/2025/04/28/p...
Hundreds of Delawareans joined me and my colleagues in Wilmington this weekend to discuss the challenges we're facing at our town hall. Seeing so many engaged citizens gives me hope and inspires me to work harder every day. Thanks for showing up & speaking out. www.delawareonline.com/story/news/l...
Republicans’ latest plan to cut Medicaid would strip healthcare from 18,500 Delawareans and cost over 15,000 American lives every year. These aren't just statistics—they're our neighbors, friends, and family members. I'll continue fighting these cruel proposals with everything I've got.
One thing I talked with @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social about on the Capitol steps today was Trump's disastrous destruction of foreign aid. Foreign aid accounts for only one percent of our budget, but the consequences of cutting it are much greater than that.
Here's why I joined my friend @booker.senate.gov on the Capitol steps this morning.
That's a wrap on today's town hall! If you missed it, you can find a recording of it on my Youtube page here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b_N...
"Thank you for being here, thank you for being engaged and thank you for being hopeful, because frankly, we have a long road ahead of us. The midterms are a long way away. We need to show that we can be purposeful, positive, and make a difference in the months and weeks ahead."
"It's hard to persuade people who voted for Trump that they made a mistake, but he's making it easier."
"Right now, President Trump and his administration are on a dangerous trajectory that is hurting our place in the world, taking money away from Delawareans that is legally allocated to be spent here to help us. We will regret the consequences of this administration. We have to try all of the above."
"Newark, Delaware happens to be one of the world's leading centers of hydrogen tech. We have a real opportunity here to grow a business, to produce clean energy and export it to the world. And I'm fighting hard, working with Democrats and Republicans, to prevent the shutdown of our hydrogen."
