One thing I talked with @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social about on the Capitol steps today was Trump's disastrous destruction of foreign aid. Foreign aid accounts for only one percent of our budget, but the consequences of cutting it are much greater than that.

Here's why I joined my friend @booker.senate.gov on the Capitol steps this morning.
That's a wrap on today's town hall! If you missed it, you can find a recording of it on my Youtube page here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b_N...
"Thank you for being here, thank you for being engaged and thank you for being hopeful, because frankly, we have a long road ahead of us. The midterms are a long way away. We need to show that we can be purposeful, positive, and make a difference in the months and weeks ahead."
"It's hard to persuade people who voted for Trump that they made a mistake, but he's making it easier."
"Right now, President Trump and his administration are on a dangerous trajectory that is hurting our place in the world, taking money away from Delawareans that is legally allocated to be spent here to help us. We will regret the consequences of this administration. We have to try all of the above."
"Newark, Delaware happens to be one of the world's leading centers of hydrogen tech. We have a real opportunity here to grow a business, to produce clean energy and export it to the world. And I'm fighting hard, working with Democrats and Republicans, to prevent the shutdown of our hydrogen."
"You know better than to turn your back on medical research, you know better than to stand with this guy you voted to confirm who's giving away our national secrets. I hector them, and hopefully at some point we will find four that are willing to vote for anything that slows him down."
"I've engaged this week with literally, a dozen Republican senators, including two this morning, about AmeriCorps, who are friends, whom I've worked with, who know better. I reach out to them regularly and say, stand up for the love of God... You know better than to betray Ukraine."
"I'm willing to work across the aisle to do things that are good for our state and our country, but I'm not willing to tolerate things that are illegal, unconstitutional, or slashing vital services like pediatric cancer research or funding for food banks."
My town hall in Wilmington with @bluntrochester.senate.gov @mcbride.house.gov @mattmeyerde.bsky.social and Attorney General Jennings is getting underway any moment!
You can watch it on my Youtube page here: www.youtube.com/@senatorchri...
Pope Francis' leadership transcended boundaries and reminded us to act only with kindness, patience, and love. I’m inspired to follow his example and remain steadfast in my pursuit of progress. May he rest in peace.
Senseless violence in Kashmir like what what we saw this week brings us no closer to peace and costs parents their children, sons and daughters their fathers and mothers. I utterly condemn this attack, and every victim and their families remain in Annie’s and my prayers.
If Trump actually valued our nation’s volunteers, he’d stop attacking @americorps.bsky.social.
Trump issued this statement for National Volunteer Week just days after he decimated @americorps.bsky.social. Nothing says “thank you for your service” like firing you while you're working on disaster relief efforts in Pennsylvania.

What happens if the U.S. abandons Ukraine?
@coons.senate.gov breaks down the real-world consequences — and why it would make us all less safe.

Trump's and Musk's attack on AmeriCorps is a part of a trend: going after the programs supporting the Helpers who come to people's aid in their greatest moments of need at the lowest points in their lives. My new op-ed in @USnews.com makes it clear: America is better than that.
The data is clear—American companies can't plan or invest, consumers and businesses are paying more, and our trading partners are retaliating. President Trump’s reckless tariffs are damaging our economy.
I’m still reviewing Secretary Rubio’s reorganization of the State Department, but I already know one thing: he needs to come to Congress and testify about how this plan would help us compete with China, and make America safer and stronger.
The church and the world will miss his welcoming leadership and his engagement on questions of justice, climate change, migration, income inequality, and reconciliation. I join with many around the world in gratitude for his ministry and in praying for his eternal rest.
