Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth, and anyone else who played a role in cutting off Ukraine's ability to defend itself must answer for it. Congress must get to the bottom of this.

Trump gave a half dozen justifications for the Iran war and never explained any of them to Congress or the American people. Sen. @ChrisCoons wants answers: “Does President Trump have a plan to get us out of it and lower the costs at the pump?”

This election made clear how deeply unpopular Trump's immigration agenda is. Yet he's doubling down by elevating Stephen Miller, the chief architect of that agenda.

I’m pushing to investigate Jensen Huang and Nvidia to determine whether our national security was compromised. We need answers about the relationship between AI billionaires and the Trump administration, who's making these decisions, and who's really got their hand on the wheel.

Targeting Jewish-owned businesses because they’re Jewish-owned is antisemitism, plain and simple. No business owner should have to fear being harassed or forced to close their doors because of who they are. I stand with Philadelphia's Jewish community and condemn this hatred. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bil…

Trump changes his mind on a dime. He'll praise someone on Monday, fire them on Tuesday, and pretend he never knew them on Wednesday.

I'm not interested in investigating people just because I don't like them. I want to investigate them because I suspect they've put our national security at risk, they've been breaking the law, and they are lying to the American people.

Secretary Hegseth played a central role in an ill-conceived, badly executed war in Iran. Americans are paying the price. If the president doesn’t remove him, Congress will.

Thank you Jea Street for your decades of service to New Castle County and all of Delaware. Your fight for fairness is a model for us all. It was an honor to serve the public alongside you.

The more I learn about the insane relationship between the Trump Administration, Chinese spies, and AI billionaires, the more I’m convinced there is nothing this administration does that isn’t corrupt. Congress will investigate and get answers.

The American people are begging the White House to focus on lowering costs, but the best Trump can do is "more Stephen Miller and the culture of cruelty." He just doesn’t get it.

Wow. Thank you to the NFL for celebrating the story of an Afghan ally during tonight’s game, especially in the face of Trump’s cruel treatment of Afghans in the US. We should welcome and protect people like Khalid Noori.
“I lost a country, but I got a home.” This is the story of Khalid Noori, an Afghan Special Ops Veteran, and how he’s been able to rebuild his life in the USA 🫶

Delaware families are sitting at the kitchen table doing painful math as health care premiums rise. Parents shouldn't have to put off care because Republicans made it unaffordable. We should vote ASAP to restore the ACA tax credits and undo Trump’s draconian Medicaid cuts.

When I’m back in Washington on Monday, I know exactly what we need to do: end the war in Iran, scrap these senseless tariffs, and reverse the devastating health care cuts. That’s how we start making life more affordable for Americans.

If Trump is serious about working with Democrats, he can start by ending his tariff war and bringing down costs for American families. But whether he works with us or not, we're going to keep fighting to lower costs, make health care more affordable, and deliver for the American people.
Trump to NYT: "I am absolutely willing to accept those results. We’ll work with the Democrats, and we’ll, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out."

Last night, Americans rejected an agenda that raised the cost of living and health care, and fueled corruption. Trump can no longer put his own interests ahead of the people without consequences.   Winning the majority was only the beginning. What we do with it starts today.

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision rejecting the Trump administration’s attempt to throw out 20,000 California ballots was a win for voters. Our elections belong to the people, not a president hell-bent on using the power of his office to rig the results in his favor.

Since taking office, Trump has made baseless claims of voter fraud to intimidate voters and undermine our elections. But Americans aren’t backing down, and neither am I. I’ll keep fighting to protect your right to vote and make sure every eligible vote is counted.

As the U.S. goes to the polls today, I am encouraged by statements from Israeli leaders following last week’s election. They are signaling a potential path forward that could set Israel on a positive new trajectory. While uncertainty remains, I applaud Gadi Eisenkot and other Israeli opposition leaders for their willingness to make courageous choices. Core values as democratic societies form the basis of our partnership, and we know protecting them is worth the effort.
