Proverbs teaches us, ‘the memory of the righteous is a blessing.’ To the families of those who sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters have died in this war: I pray that the Lord will comfort you, bind up your wounds, and heal your heartbreak

This administration struggles to tell us why they decided to go to war, what our goals are, or how long it will last. Yet our president seems unbothered by the idea it will cost American lives—not just of service members but also potentially civilians at home. Utterly shameful.
Americans to Trump: Things are too expensive. Please, just focus on the cost of living.
Trump:
Young people are working hard and still can’t afford a first home. We can’t accept a generation of permanent renters. I’m committed to lowering housing costs and ensuring every American has a chance.
When we attacked Iran, it was entirely predictable that they’d attack our regional partners and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who live there. The failure of Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio to foresee that and protect our citizens is a dangerous embarrassment.
Instead, they’re pushing the SAVE Act because they know they’re unpopular. When you can’t win voters, you try to pick them.
Republicans aren't pushing the SAVE Act because they care about voting fraud—after all, getting struck by lightning is more likely than finding a non-citizen voting in our elections. They're not pushing it to improve Americans' lives—it'll make them harder by making it harder for everyone to vote.

What is the goal of this war?
President Trump took us to war in Iran without clearly conveying that to the American people or to Congress that represents them.

To Delawareans in the Middle East: I know this is a frightening time. Please stay in close contact with the State Department—and know that my office is here to help. If you or your family need assistance, please reach out to my office. www.coons.senate.gov/services/res...
US soldiers dying in another war of choice in the Middle East isn't just "the way it is." It's a failure by the Commander-in-Chief.
If only the United States had programs to support and strengthen the democratic elements in Iran that Trump now wants to rise up and overthrow the regime. Wait, we do—or at least we did, until Trump and DOGE gutted them last year.
Home prices are too high.
Trump's tariffs on building materials are driving up their prices.
My Housing Tariff Exclusion Act ends those tariffs, so home prices will be lower.
If it sounds straightforward, that's because it is.
The strength of our nation is measured by how we care for our most vulnerable. Trump's and Republicans' cuts to Medicaid shows they're failing that test. I'll keep working to reverse these cuts, because everyone should be able to afford their health care in the wealthiest nation on earth.
Afghans who served alongside us for 20 years were promised safety in the US. Now, the administration wants to send them back to certain death in Afghanistan
This is totally unacceptable. Delawareans abroad, please continue to reach out to the State Department, but also reach out to my office. It’s my priority to ensure you can get to safety.
In Delaware, we reward hard work; we don’t diminish it. You worked hard for your Social Security, and you're counting on it to be there when you retire. That's why I'll always defend it for you.
Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Rubio must promptly appear before Congress and explain to the American people how they so poorly planned for the protection and evacuation of Americans from their war of choice.
