Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh wants to gamble with America's workforce in the era of AI.   I'm not willing to make decisions that impact our workers and economic stability based on a bet.

Let me be Blunt: you shouldn't have to pay for Trump's pet projects, and thanks to all your calls, you won't have to. Now, the real work begins.

"I don't know what comes next."   Brianna's story will sound familiar to countless parents in DE and across the country. It's a moving reminder of who suffers when Republicans play games with your health care.   Head to my YouTube Channel to hear her tell her story—it's worth it.

This is outrageous.   The nation's top law enforcement official (who used to be Trump's defense lawyer) says that taxpayer money going to Jan. 6 insurrectionists is just par for the course.

So what's it called when the majority party cuts health care for millions of Americans to give billionaires another tax break and pay for a golden ballroom?

American families are spending more than ever just to get by, and this administration thinks that's a GOOD thing? Just when we thought they couldn't get more out of touch.

When I asked RFK Jr directly whether he delayed a meeting to evaluate our measles-free status, he lied. No wonder the American people don’t trust him.

Delaware is the lowest-lying state in the nation. Our farmers, families, and business owners deserve better than arrogant, ultra-rich secretaries telling them their home should be underwater. We have options—why is this administration ignoring them?

13 1

Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the White House but they still can't get anything passed. Now they're telling you the costs you're paying as a result of Trump's war in Iran are no big deal. Unbelievable.

Let Me Be Blunt: I feel like it's déja vu all over again

30 9

Don't let Republicans in Washington tell you any different, Trump is the reason TSA agents aren't getting paid and you're facing long lines at the airport.

We have proof of what we've been through, and proof that we're made for this moment.

Reckless wars, skyrocketing prices, and the pain you feel in the checkout lines and at the gas pump is the last of their concerns.

21 12

Let Me Be Blunt: Democrats have put forward multiple bills to fund DHS — Republicans keep rejecting them.   I want to keep you in the loop.

28 15

This administration can't give a straight answer because they don't have one. This war is a disaster and their lack of leadership is going to get more Americans killed.

94 34

Which is it? Did we 'completely destroy’ their arsenal last year? Or did they pose a threat now?

38 10

The administration's justification for starting a war that has gotten American service members killed is changing every day. The American people deserve a straight, honest answer.

This week, we acknowledged the unsung heroes. The ones who work every single day to make people safer in our communities.

11 5

Today, the Trump administration's Surgeon General nominee tried to tell us that this administration would never ask her to do anything unethical.   Let's not forget that RFK Jr did exactly that less than six months ago.   How can we be sure it won't happen again?

21 6

This President hasn't made us safer— he's only created chaos and fear. However, in these moments of chaos are stories of everyday Americans' extraordinary strength. Tonight, my guest for the State of the Union is one of those Americans, Maria Mesias-Tatnall. Hear her story:

This is who Reverend Jackson was, a leader whose moral clarity reminded us that everyone deserves equality, dignity, and respect. His historic run for president laid the foundation for future generations of Black leaders. May he rest in eternal peace and power.

Let Me Be Blunt: We're barreling toward a government shutdown because Republicans in Washington refuse to enact common sense reforms to ICE.

33 13

WATCH: Trump’s SEC Commissioner just refused to say ‘insider trading is bad.’

Was so inspired to welcome the Walk for Peace alongside my friend and colleague @kim.senate.gov.   Their perseverance has been a powerful reminder to focus on what brings us together for peace.

Thankful to everyone (including my amazing team!) who wished me a happy birthday today 🎂 Looking forward to another year of service to Delaware!

20 2

It’s clear this administration doesn’t understand— people and families are struggling.

62 24

ICE is broken.

40 12

Democrats are united. ICE is broken, and there's a real urgency in this moment.

As we fight in the Senate to hold this administration accountable, to the people of Minnesota: thank you for your strength.

Walter from Clayton sat down with my team to ask the question on everyone's mind: if Republicans aren't willing to extend ACA tax credits, what ARE they going to do?

11 3

Today marks the end of Open Enrollment, and for folks up and down our state, it means making impossible decisions in the face of rising costs Republicans refuse to address. Don't take it from me — listen to Vonda tell her story, a common one taking place all across America.

17 7

Let Me Be Blunt: some strange things are circulating on social media.   This week, I led a group of 8 Senators to demand accountability from big tech and better policies to keep people safe online.

21 7

By now you've probably seen the tragic video of an ICE agent shooting a Minnesota woman as she tried to drive away.   The agent responsible for this tragedy must be brought to justice, and it's time for Secretary Noem to resign.

Over the last 5 years, a lot has been said about the events of January 6th, 2021.   It's been distorted, romanticized, even downplayed.   Tonight, I went to the floor to tell my story and remind us all that redemption is what makes America, America.

31 14

Let Me Be Blunt: Some folks in Washington refuse to take our housing crisis seriously.   But I know housing is a priority for Delawareans, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.

33 12

🚨UPDATE: The discharge petition to force a vote on a 3-year extension of key ACA tax credits has earned enough signatures in the House.   We’re still in session here in the Senate— it’s time for Speaker Johnson to put this to a vote. The American people can’t afford to wait.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans have created a health care crisis. And now, they've refused to support the cleanest, easiest, simplest solution - extending the ACA tax credits while we negotiate. Let the record show who voted to lower premiums for American families.

28 12

It's so important for our kids to know what opportunities are out there so they can live their full potential. This week in the HELP committee, I highlighted Delaware's successes in continuing technical education and discussed how we can build on that excellence nationwide.

14 2

The clock is ticking. Time is running out to extend key tax credits before massive premium increases take effect on January 1st. We have an immediate crisis. It's time to take immediate action.

58 21

Let Me Blunt: Health Care in America is Unaffordable. That's why @wyden.senate.gov and I are introducing a bill to make care more affordable and accessible in this country.

39 15

We are 12 days away. 12 days away from the end of open enrollment and millions of Americans feeling the impacts of Republicans’ health care crisis. I’m doing everything I can to make health care more affordable for Americans. I hope my colleagues will join me.

As you finish up your leftovers and settle in to the holiday weekend, a reminder: support your community and shop local!

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods.   But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap.   That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

57 11

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes.   We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

76 32

People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further.   They thought Trump's 'Golden Age' meant affordable gold plans, but all they got was an outrageous golden ballroom.
