Tonight, Donald Trump tried to convince the American people that his war of choice has been a success—while delivering a deranged series of lies and misleading claims. ⬇️
Tonight, Donald Trump tried to convince the American people that his war of choice has been a success—while delivering a deranged series of lies and misleading claims.

Lies about the war in Iran. Misleading claims about why my neighbors are facing rising gas prices. And rambling, unclear answers about how long our servicemembers will remain in harm’s way.

Instead of offering a clear objective, the president delivered wildly contradictory statements—and made one thing clear: he still doesn't know what he's doing.
Trump: "We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong."
It was great to meet with Dr. Mary Swenson and hear about her vision for the Delaware World Trade Center and how Congress can support international trade for our state. I’ll keep working to ensure Delaware's businesses are supported in our global markets so they can keep driving innovation.

Trans people deserve to be visible today, and everyday. It is easy to feel hopeless, especially when your identity is being scrutinized daily. But despair is the goal. On this TDOV, I want to encourage all of us to harness the power of hope and optimism; this is not how our story ends.
Amtrak is part of the beating heart of Wilmington—connecting Delawareans to communities across the Northeast and keeping our economy moving. I am proud to work with a bipartisan group of colleagues for investments in passenger rail infrastructure to improve affordability, reliability, and safety.
Instead of having the House vote on a bipartisan deal to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard that had been unanimously passed by the Senate, House Republicans instead put forward a bill that would prolong this shutdown and give Donald Trump and ICE a blank check with no accountability. I voted no.
2/ Republicans in Congress are so extreme that they want to reject a bipartisan deal and deprive people of their paychecks, subject travelers to delays, and prolong this shutdown—all to give ICE a blank check.
1/ House Republicans have chosen to extend the government shutdown and withhold paychecks from TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Last night, the Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill to fund every part of DHS—except ICE and CBP—the same approach Democrats have been putting forward for weeks.
2/ I was lucky to hear from Delaware leaders in Smyrna about the legacy of women's civic engagement and how we can work to maintain access to the ballot box for all women, especially in the face of attempts to undermine that access.
2/ If countries are concerned that international rules and territorial integrity no longer matter, as the United States has exhibited in Iran, then the only way to protect yourself is with the absolute strength that nuclear weapons provide.
1/ In a @houseforeign.bsky.social hearing, I pressed the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security at the State Department about how the war in Iran stands to erode our global order and drive nuclear proliferation everywhere.
Encouraging active participation in our democracy is essential for our future. That's why I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with Mikva Challenge students from New Castle County—a program that encourages these incredible students to use their voices for advocacy and change.

When you force working families to pay more out of pocket for basic health care, that is a tax—a tax on getting sick and a tax on staying alive. As we mark the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act becoming law, that is the reality facing my neighbors and Americans everywhere.
At the Youth Environmental Summit, I joined hundreds of Delaware students leading on climate. They’re organizing and advancing real solutions to protect our air, land, and water. Sustainability isn’t partisan—and I’m committed to ensuring federal policy matches their ambition.

I will always stand with working people. It’s why I was proud to again meet with representatives from LiUNA to discuss how we can improve working conditions for hundreds of public employees and union members in Delaware.
