How can we expect our troops to keep us safe if this administration can't do the bare minimum to keep them safe?

I joined @warren.senate.gov and 19 of my Democratic colleagues in supporting the American Homeownership Act to stop Wall Street firms from hoarding homes and to allow more families to reach their dream of homeownership. www.coons.senate.gov/news/press-r...
I have a lot of questions for Secretary Noem at today's @judiciarydems.senate.gov hearing. From out of control and unaccountable ICE agents to reports of stationing agents at polling places, she owes the American people answers.
Happy 302 Day, Delaware!
Delaware may be small, but we show up — for our neighbors, in Washington, and even on Jeopardy! This state is strong because of the people who call it home, and I’m always proud to represent them.
I represent Dover Air Force Base, where we bear the solemn duty of welcoming home our fallen servicemembers. That responsibility demands we treat war as a last resort, not a first.
During this holy season, I’ll be praying for those Americans and civilians in harm’s way.
President Trump was supposed to be talking about the war he's started in Iran that's already claimed the lives of four service members. Instead he's talking about ballrooms and curtains.
It's clear he can't be bothered with the safety of our troops.
When it comes up for a vote this week, I’ll be a YES on
@kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran that has already killed at least four American servicemembers and injured dozens more.
The American people need answers about what we're doing in Iran and why we're doing it. We need to hear directly from the Commander-in-Chief, not a cabinet secretary taking questions from a handpicked press corps.
President Trump ran for president opposing wars like this. Now, he’s pursuing regime change in Iran with no clear strategy and no intention of making the case to the American people.
I’m absolutely heartsick at the news that we’ve lost three American servicemembers in the Middle East.
It's been 36 hours since Trump plunged us into war with Iran. US servicemembers have been killed. And yet he's found time to throw a party at Mar-a-Lago, but no time for a live address to the American people about why we're at war half a world away. Pre-recorded social media clips won't cut it.
Our relationships in the Middle East and around the world are how we keep Americans safe, and we must stand by them as they face grave threats in the wake of President Trump’s reckless actions.
These partner nations host thousands of American troops, diplomats and civilians at bases and embassies across the region. They are already experiencing damage and destruction from Iranian counterattacks, including attacks on civilians.
Today, I've spoken with ambassadors to the US from Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates in the wake of this morning's attacks on Iran to reassure them of lasting and bipartisan American support.
President Trump’s military campaign against Iran and call for regime change are the beginning of a reckless new war of choice with no clear strategy and no clear endpoint. This is not how a democracy goes to war.
Trump just thinks that affordability is a buzzword. Americans know better – it can literally be a matter of life and death.
I know when she fully recovers, she’ll head into her next chapter stronger than ever.
I’m grateful for Cindy McCain’s leadership at the World Food Program, and I’m glad to call her a friend. Under her leadership, WFP has succeeded in its lifesaving mission to feed the world and eliminate hunger and, in doing so, has also strengthened American farmers at home.
After President Trump’s SOTU, I stood with @mcbride.house.gov and DE AG Kathy Jennings and said what many Delawareans are already feeling:
Health care premiums are rising. And tens of thousands here at home are bracing for the fallout of the largest health care cuts in American history.
