The Social Security benefits earned through a lifetime of work are a crucial part of a dignified retirement for tens of millions of Americans—but too many in Congress want to cut or cap their payouts. I'll always protect Social Security and make sure older Delawareans get the benefits they earned.

Donald Trump has made clear that he wants to mess with our elections. We must take nothing for granted. That’s why Senate Democrats announced today that we have recruited and trained more than 100 Senate staff as official congressional election observers. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The Trump Administration is attempting to cut staff and services from Head Start, which supports our kids and their families. I visited the Head Start center in Rutland to hear how this could hurt Vermont and share how I’m fighting against it.

Remember – in just one year as president, Trump raked in over $2 billion in personal wealth. He’s left the rest of country dealing with devastating health care and food assistance cuts, spiking gas prices, and inflation on everything else you buy.

You don't have to drive a diesel truck to feel the squeeze of Trump's illegal war. Diesel prices are up more than 75%, driving up the cost of growing your food, shipping your groceries and delivering everyday goods. Americans can’t go on like this. It’s time to end the war.

ICE is terrorizing our communities, making people afraid to go to work or even step outside. This isn’t making our communities safer. Republicans wrote ICE a blank check, enabling reckless thugs to terrorize our neighbors. They own the chaos and fear they’ve unleashed across America.

September’s inflation report confirms what we already know, that President Trump’s bungled war with Iran is behind the outrageous increase in the cost of living over the past few months. Americans need an end to these price hikes, not endless wars in the Middle East.

$75 barely covers a tank of gas, let alone a cart of groceries. This inflation adjustment falls way short of making up for the high costs of Trump’s war with Iran and chaotic tariffs. Congress needs to scrap the cap and expand benefits for our seniors.

The Trump Admin decided to let $232 million in federal funding expire, shortchanging funding set aside to help families in rural communities buy homes. This funding would have helped families get the financing they need to afford a home they can call their own.

Trump is selling access to the presidency and not even trying to hide it. Meanwhile, families are struggling to pay for health care, groceries, and gas. This Republican Congress might be willing to ignore this historic corruption. But I assure you, a Democratic majority will NOT.
