We should be doing everything we can to bring down grocery costs for families, not starting pointless trade wars to raise prices even further. As the cost-of-living crisis gets even worse, it's clear this administration isn't looking out for our communities.
Don't be fooled: every time he says ‘tariffs’, Trump is talking about alienating our allies and raising the cost of everything you buy. He doesn’t care about you, he cares about the chaos he can use as a distraction to enrich himself and his friends.
During his first term, Trump ran up the national debt giving his rich friends massive tax breaks. Now in his second term, he wants to pay for another huge tax cut by slashing your Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. This time is different, and so much worse.
Federal workers who show up every day looking for ways to improve the lives of people all across the country deserve better than the treatment they’ve received from this administration. Playing games with the lives of hard working public servants isn’t efficiency, it’s cruelty.
This is yet another installment in Trump’s long history of demeaning the brave men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces. It's insult to cruel injury for the thousands of veterans who now find themselves unemployed at the hands of this administration.
Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."
As we get settled into our new office here in the Senate, my team and I are so excited to welcome our first class of Senate interns! Are you a Delaware student who wants to get an up-close look at government and help us make an impact on people's lives? Apply today!
Using the bully pulpit doesn’t actually mean being a bully. This is a totally unreasonable way to conduct diplomacy, and a disgraceful way to treat an ally. We should all be standing with Ukraine as they continue their fight on the front line of democracy.
A meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grew contentious, with Trump telling Zelenskyy that "you're not acting at all thankful" for U.S. support.
The last time we lost a child to measles in this country was 2003. My heart goes out to all the families affected by the ongoing outbreak. This terrible disease making a comeback is NOT normal. We need and deserve leaders who understand the urgency of this moment.
Q: A young child just died of measles in Texas. Do you have a comment? RFK Jr.: It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time (This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years)
From breathable air to drinkable water, Delawareans rely on the EPA staff to protect our valuable natural resources and keep our communities healthy. This proposal is outrageous— rolling back decades of progress. Unacceptable.
President Trump said during his cabinet meeting on Wednesday that Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, intended to fire 65% of employees. Agency officials said the cuts would make it impossible to carry out their mission.
The way this administration has intimidated and mistreated thousands of dedicated federal workers is unacceptable, and I'm fighting to hold them accountable. Grateful to the workers who stopped me in the hall to discuss how, together, we can stand up to the chaos.
Last night, House Republicans passed a bill to slash programs that deliver health care and food to poor kids and families all across the country while cutting taxes on their ultra-rich friends. The American people voted for lower costs and safer communities, not this cruelty.
The Republican budget plan: -Cut SNAP by $230 billion -Cut Medicaid by $880 billion -Give $1.1 trillion to the top 1%
Title: House Republican Plan Would Take Health Care and food Assistance Away from People to Pay for Tax Cuts for Wealthy
Subtitle: House Republican plan could cut Medicaid by $880 billion and SNAP by $230 billion while giving wealthy people $1.1 trillion in tax cuts

Bar graph showing cuts to Medicaid ($880 billion) and cuts to SNAP ($230 billion) on left in yellow, and taxt cuts for people with incomes in the top 1% ($1.1 trillion) on right in red

Note: People with incomes in the top 1% have $743,000 or more in annual income. All estimates are through 2034.

Today marks 3 years since Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Countless lives have been lost in Ukraine’s fight for freedom, sovereignty, and democracy.  I continue to stand with Ukraine and call for an end to Russia’s aggression.
Since its founding, The Connect has been focused on educating, empowering, & retaining young professionals here in Delaware. It was great to be at their Inaugural Young Professionals Gala this weekend in Wilmington to celebrate all they do for our community.
