The devastation seen in Hill Country Texas is tragic and we can’t let it happen again.
So why does Trump's budget plan for 2026 slash key tracking tools that would help mitigate the worst outcomes of future flash floods like this?

We need the National Weather Service before disaster strikes.
We need FEMA for when it does.
And we need a president who gets that this is obvious.
The void left by USAID's closure creates opportunities for our adversaries to advance their own economic and political interests. We've spent years investing in nations around the world—now China will reap the rewards.

My heart breaks for the victims, their families and all those that have been affected by the horrific flooding in Texas.
I’m praying for the brave first responders who are working tirelessly to reunite those who are still missing with their loved ones.
My internship on Capitol Hill inspired me to pursue a career in public service, and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Fall 2025 applications for Washington, Wilmington & Dover are open. Apply on my website: www.coons.senate.gov/services/int...
Dismantling of PEPFAR is gutting crucial programs and cutting off access to life-saving medications.
We've made significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS until now. The Trump administration is taking us all backward. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/h...
Our adversaries in China and Russia are cheering Voice of America's closure. That should tell you everything.

While Trump cozies up to dictators, he’s silencing America’s voice abroad by dismantling outlets like Voice of America that counter disinformation and promote democracy.
Last week, I introduced an amendment to protect kids, seniors, and Americans with disabilities from the red tape Republicans designed to take away health care. Republicans voted it down—and then passed the bill anyway. Now 17 million Americans stand to lose their healthcare.
Happy Independence Day! Today we celebrate our freedom and recommit ourselves to completing the unfinished work of our nation. Today, I’m reflecting on our shared responsibility to uphold our democracy, protect our liberties, and ensure justice for all.
Trump rushed to declare mission accomplished after strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites—but we don’t yet know the full story. Our intelligence community is the envy of the world – we should trust their assessment instead of jumping to conclusions.
Pardoning the January 6 cop-beaters on day one wasn't enough for Trump – now he's putting one of the insurrectionists in a high-ranking Justice Department position. This is what weaponization of the rule of law looks like. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...
We need to be making it clear every day that the Republican agenda of high tariffs and stripping away healthcare from millions of vulnerable people to rig the tax code is going to raise everyone’s costs and make life harder for the middle class.
Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, and loved His neighbors — we’re told to do the same. But the GOP tax bill that just PASSED serves billionaires while starving those who need support the most. It’s immoral and unfaithful.
If you’re tuning into the Senate floor right now, here’s what’s at stake: children and seniors losing coverage, hospitals and nursing homes closing, ERs overrun. All to line the pockets of billionaires.
More than 24 hours after starting to vote on amendments, Republicans STILL haven’t finished making last minute changes to this bill.
Here’s what hasn’t changed – this bill will devastate thousands of families across Delaware.
It’s big. But it’s not beautiful. I’m still a NO.
My Republican colleagues don't know everything that's in the final bill we're about to vote on.
But they do know it strips healthcare from millions of Americans. And rigs the tax code even more for the ultra-wealthy. And explodes the deficit by trillions.
Apparently, that's enough for most of them.
The sun just rose at the Capitol, where my Democratic colleagues and I have spent all day and all night offering amendment after amendment to improve this so-called 'big beautiful bill,' but the GOP keeps blocking us.
I'm going to vote NO when—or if!—we finally vote on whether to pass the bill.
There are over 2,000 references in Scripture to caring for the poor—but not one that calls for stripping healthcare from vulnerable people to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. I know of no faith that preaches the values contained in the GOP tax bill we’re voting on tonight.
I don’t see how you can read the Gospels, and read the bill we’re voting on in the Senate today, and see the same spirit in both. My faith and values call on me to oppose this awful GOP tax bill.
