One year after President Trump’s election victory, it’s clear: he and Defense Secretary Hegseth have weakened our alliances, politicized our military, and made America less safe.

I support this proposal, and I call on my Republican colleagues to support it so that we can end this shutdown today.
Today's Democratic proposal reopens the government, provides immediate relief to millions of Americans whose health care premiums are about to skyrocket, and creates a pathway towards a long-term solution for the tax credits that are critical to health care affordability.
The question of 'who is my neighbor?' is one of the most important in my faith. By cutting off SNAP benefits, it is shamefully clear that Trump's answer does not include starving American kids.
In Delaware and across the country, health care premiums are skyrocketing because of Republican inaction. It's time for Republican leaders to come to the table and negotiate a way out of the shutdown and a restoration of affordable health care options. www.delawarepublic.org/politics-gov...
Trump promised Americans he would reduce prices and improve the economy. Americans can see with their own eyes that his policies are doing the opposite.
If the test of a government is how it treats people on the margins of life, Trump's decision to withhold SNAP benefits from hungry children is proof that he has failed.

It was clear to everyone that Trump's corporate-funded ballroom was a magnet for corruption. Now, there's proof of wealthy donors using it to try to buy policy wins from the administration.
Trump's East Wing is becoming the epicenter of the swamp.
1 in 4 American kids receive SNAP benefits, and they're going hungry in the richest nation on earth because Trump is refusing to make food assistance available to them. Our littlest Americans shouldn't suffer because of Trump's vindictiveness during this Republican shutdown.
I'm appalled to learn of the new famine declarations in El-Fasher and Kadugli town in Sudan that have put 375,000 people on the brink of starvation. An immediate surge of humanitarian aid is needed, and all groups must put down their weapons and commit to ending this war. www.npr.org/2025/11/03/g...
No, throwing a Great Gatsby-themed party at his gold-plated club while 42 million Americans lose their SNAP benefits isn’t President Trump’s "obligation," Speaker Johnson. It’s just careless.
Tune in now: I’m speaking on the Senate floor on the one-year anniversary of Trump’s election win about how he’s eroded our national security and made Americans less safe over the last 365 days. www.senate.gov/legislative/...
It’s been a year since Trump’s election, and in that year, he’s taken a hatchet to the pillars that kept our nation secure.
Tune in at 5:15 to the Senate floor as I'll detail how Trump and Hegseth have spent the last year making Americans less safe ⤵️
Trump promised to reduce prices and improve the economy. He's done the opposite – and Americans know it.
From Georgia to Virginia to Pennsylvania, the voters spoke clearly: they’re fed up with high costs and Trump’s broken promises that he’d make America more affordable. So why is his administration in court today defending his tariffs that are raising costs on everyday goods for American families?
Last night, voters across the country made clear they’re concerned about Trump’s failure to address the cost of living.
Trump’s response? Going over to the Supreme Court today to defend his tariffs that are increasing costs for American families by thousands of dollars.
@mcbride.house.gov and I agree: Trump defying a court order to take food off the table for 42 million Americans is unbelievably cruel—especially weeks before Thanksgiving.
Open enrollment has officially begun and millions of Americans are seeing their premiums double or even triple next year—all because Republicans are refusing to open the government and extend ACA tax credits.
Head over to healthcare.gov and see the damage yourself.
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. They're trying to unilaterally withhold money for SNAP and lay off thousands of workers. Of course Americans of all stripes are holding them responsible for this shutdown.
