Democrats like me have always cared about justice and always will. But if we can't deliver a clear agenda that starts with opportunity and security, too many Americans will keep tuning us out.

I joined @heathercoxrichardson on Friday to talk about the path forward for my party, and how we need a commonsense immigration policy that embodies this truth: immigrants make all of us – including Americans – stronger and more prosperous.

By starting his day with oil executives rather than the Venezuelan opposition, Trump is making clear that his operation against Maduro was only about oil access.

One of the most corrupt presidents in history says his use of military force is only constrained by his “morality.” That should alarm every American.

President Trump has a fifth of the US Navy stationed off the coast of Venezuela. That doesn’t sound like someone planning on keeping his promise of no new foreign wars.

A question for President Trump: what’s the goal in Venezuela? And what are you asking American servicemembers to sacrifice to make it happen?

Even as our servicemembers’ lives are on the line, Trump is just making it up as he goes along in Venezuela.

As we head into the new year, many Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket tomorrow. That’s because ACA tax subsidies expire at midnight tonight. I’ll keep fighting for a solution for you and your family.

You heard *a lot* in President Trump’s Oval Office address last night – but you still didn’t hear any solutions to the things that are on the minds of most Americans.

Trump’s own chief of staff, Susan Wiles, admitted the U.S. is bombing boats to overthrow Maduro.
He promised no new wars.
Now, he’s sleepwalking us into a war with Venezuela.

As Delaware's senior senator, I have a solemn responsibility to honor our fallen servicemembers when they return to Dover AFB in a Dignified Transfer, including today’s ceremony. I’ll miss today's Senate votes, but honoring their sacrifice to these two brave men comes first.

Trump ran last year on three promises: ‘I'll lower your costs, Make America Healthy Again, and no new stupid wars.’
He's failed on one, failed on two, and now seems to be sleepwalking into number three.

It’s not enough for us to just be against Donald Trump. We also need a positive and affirmative agenda – one based on opportunity, security, and justice ➡️ democracyjournal.org/magazine/79/....

The President of the United States is using the death of a talented actor & director to score political points. At a time when so many choose to remain silent in the face of injustice – Rob Reiner decided to speak out. He stood for democracy, truth, & empathy. May Rob & Michele Reiner Rest in Peace.

I’m headed to the Senate floor right now to vote to extend the ACA premium tax credits. Democrats have a plan to make health care more affordable. Republicans don’t.

What’s the Republicans’ health care plan?
They don’t have one. They haven’t for 15 years.
That’s why we’re voting this week on the Senate Democrats’ plan to extend ACA tax credits so millions of Americans can keep affordable coverage. I hope my GOP colleagues will join me.

Trump can say the affordability crisis is made up all he wants, but that doesn't change the very real prices Americans pay for their rent and groceries.
