The Trump Administration’s latest refugee policy says nothing about our Afghan allies, who are stranded overseas waiting to reunite with their families in the U.S. They risked their lives to help American soldiers. We can’t turn our back on them.

The scope of frontier model misalignment is staggering. The past month has exposed how public admissions are just the tip of the iceberg. AI agents have colluded, escaped their sandboxes, hacked other companies, meddled with government portals — and that's just the ones we know about.

Don't be fooled. This bill won’t force Big Tech companies to do anything. It's a political stunt to cover Republicans who have been the biggest data center cheerleaders. We need a bill with real teeth to hold these companies accountable.

I joined several Senate Democrats in demanding the Trump Administration abandon any plan to exert political control over NIH’s grantmaking process. I urge my Republican colleagues to follow suit and work with us to protect science-based medical research.

This weekend's nor'easter brought historic floods to Delaware's coastal communities. I'm thankful for the work of our emergency response teams, and I'm keeping all those affected in my thoughts As the lowest mean elevation state, we're feeling the climate crisis firsthand. We need to do more.

Another one of Trump’s corruption schemes to abuse American tax dollars for his own benefit. This is a violation of what a democracy is supposed to look like. The corruption is endless.

Gas prices have jumped more than 40% since Trump launched his war of choice. American families shouldn’t have to bear the cost of Trump’s reckless decisions.

As climate change worsens and drought becomes a growing part of life across the West, the federal government must be better prepared to support Western states and deliver emergency funding when disaster strikes.

One of the biggest winners from President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" were the largest tech and AI corporations, who are already worth billions of dollars. It's why I joined @warren.senate.gov to demand a full accounting of how they've taken advantage of those tax loopholes and deductions.

The American people want lower grocery prices, cheaper gas, and affordable healthcare. Yet Trump is focused on MORE cuts.

This administration hasn’t got their way to totally shut down the Department of Education, so instead, they are throwing sand in the gears and making life harder for schools. Make no mistake, this will have real consequences for our families and schools. www.npr.org/2026/09/24/n...

Trump wants prisons to cut off medical care for trans people, and wants the Supreme Court to let him do it. Withholding necessary medical care from prisoners is cruel. Politics shouldn't interfere with care. SCOTUS must reject this effort.

President Trump promised to support American manufacturing, but between tariffs, soaring energy prices and increased borrowing costs, we’ve seen just the opposite. In President Trump’s economy, small businesses are being squeezed at every turn. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/20/t...

The White House is spending YOUR taxpayer money on pro-Trump campaign ads. Not on healthcare, not on food assistance – campaign ads. Do they think you don’t notice what they’re doing?

Trump is selling nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia despite reported US intelligence that the Saudis still want a bomb—while the Trumps have taken billions in bribes from the Saudis. This is Trump corruption at the expense of US national security. Stop the deal.

He says this with a straight face as gas reaches $4.50/gal, diesel reaches $6.50/gal, mortgage rates soar over 7%, grocery costs are rising, and Americans’ sentiments towards the economy are the lowest they’ve been since the Great Recession.
