Honored to attend a bipartisan dinner this week with María Corina Machado, leader of the Venezuelan opposition and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Grateful to have a meaningful conversation about the importance of advancing free and fair elections in Venezuela—and how to help make that happen.
The Voting Rights Act was a declaration that our democracy belongs to all of us. I still believe in the promise of our democracy, and I will keep fighting to make it real and to make sure your voice and vote matter.
By restricting Americans’ ability to choose candidates that represent their communities, the Supreme Court has told the nation that some voices and votes are worth less than others.
Generations of Americans marched, served, protested, and died for the promise of our democracy. Today, the Supreme Court continues its steady march to forget that sacrifice and undo that promise.
The court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais makes it much harder to challenge the drawing of legislative district maps as racially discriminatory.
Today, King Charles III delivered a joint address to Congress, reflecting on 250 years of American independence and reminding us of our shared history and values: liberty, democracy, checks and balances, and the rule of law.
I’m grateful for the swift response from law enforcement, relieved that the President is safe, and praying for everyone involved. I’m also thinking of the journalists in that room who kept doing their jobs as chaos broke out. Their courage is a reminder that fear cannot win.
What happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight is a horrifying reminder that political violence has taken hold in this country. The fact that it unfolded at an event celebrating a free press—a core pillar of democracy—should concern every American.
Trump's war of choice in Iran could end tomorrow, and according to the White House, oil tankers still wouldn't be able to go through the Strait of Hormuz until November. Food and gas prices will stay high for months. Why is Trump trying to hide that truth from Americans?
There are plenty of nations impacted by Trump's war in Iran who we're closer to than the UAE, and plenty of countries who've been hit harder. So why—other than massive financial ties to Trump's family businesses—are we considering using your tax dollars to bail out the Emiratis?
As I told Treasury Secretary Wright yesterday, Trump’s war with Iran has already driven up costs for Americans. It’s hitting oil and gas, fertilizer, helium, farming, manufacturing, and food prices. We need to wrap this war up, but you’ll still be paying for it for a long time to come.
Last night, as Republicans started the partisan process to force through funding for unaccountable immigration enforcement agencies, @warren.senate.gov and I tried to push through a measure to create an independent watchdog to rein in ICE’s violence.
Reports put the amount of money the Treasury Department has given Iran through sanctions relief at billions of dollars – money they’re using to threaten our troops. When I asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about it today, he tried to dismiss it. But it’s real, and it’s an outrage.
Treasury Secretary Bessent told me today that Direct File “wasn’t free.” That’s false. Direct File was a free, easy-to-use program that helped more than 300,000 taxpayers save an average of $270 and hours of time filing their taxes.
President Trump's war of choice has now wounded nearly 400 American servicemembers without clear goals or an endgame. This is a disgusting betrayal of our troops' trust and safety.
Happy National Volunteer Week! Service has always helped bring Delawareans together. From schools and libraries to public cleanups and more, volunteering helps build a stronger and more just community. I’m proud to support the Food Bank of DE in fighting food insecurity across all three counties.
