Trump insists we can’t afford childcare for hardworking American families, but he's happy to spend nearly a billion dollars a day on a war nobody asked for.

Trump has nothing to show for his war in Iran except 13 dead service members, a closed Strait, a broken ceasefire, and a $4.30 gallon of gas. apnews.com/article/oil-...
When I talk to Delawareans about the war in Iran, all I hear is alarm about spiking gas prices, concern about our lack of strategy, and confusion about one more of Trump’s broken promises.
Ahead of Trump's summit with Xi this month, I'm proud to lead Democrats and Republicans in sending a clear, unified message: The Chinese government is our adversary. Don't sell our country out at the negotiating table.
A bipartisan group of 16 senators is urging Congress to take a tough stance on China policy ahead of this month’s summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The longest shutdown ever—TSA agents unpaid, our cybersecurity weakened—started when Senate GOP wouldn’t agree to commonsense ICE reforms, and extended because @houserepublicans.bsky.social delayed for weeks instead of taking up a bill we passed unanimously. Trump’s party simply isn’t fit to govern.
The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is clear: Trump cannot be elected president more than twice. Yesterday, I asked Trump judicial nominees what the 22nd Amendment entails. Their response? Crickets.
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.
Our commitment to those values and this indispensable partnership – particularly with NATO and defending Ukraine - is more important than ever. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
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.
This administration loves to talk about how it's combating terrorism, but when it comes to spending the money and doing the actual work to keep Americans safe, it's another story entirely. www.semafor.com/article/04/2...
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.
When you don't have a plan, a goal, or a clue, it's hard to keep your story straight. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
