It was never about 'returning it to the states'. Their plan is to outlaw abortion care nationwide and put countless women across the country in harm's way. Todd Blanche is a piece of that puzzle, and he can NOT be confirmed.
RFK keeps promoting his own anti-vaccine agenda, and Americans are paying the price. He's completely unfit to lead HHS.
Delaware is doing amazing and innovative things! A new solar array (one of the largest in North America!) floating in Middletown will power thousands of homes. Proud to celebrate the work that is making this ambitious project a reality.
For decades, federal regulations helped keep food clean and safe. Cuts to the agencies that enforce those regulations may make life easier for big producers, but they put all our health at risk. Again and again, this administration refuses to put the people first.
This is the story of the Trump administration: millions of Americans left sicker, poorer, and hungrier.
RFK Jr has actively rallied against vaccines for diseases like measles, and he's used his position to delay efforts to stop the spread. These are the consequences. The administration’s commitment to conspiracy theories and inaction is making our friends and neighbors sicker.
For every dollar a white man earns, Black women earn 63 cents — that's unacceptable. As we mark Black Women's Equal Pay Day, here's a look at some of the ways I'm fighting for true equality here in the Senate.
It’s been six years since we lost my friend, colleague, mentor, and our hero John Lewis. Throughout his extraordinary life, he showed us that - even in our darkest moments - we can fight for what is right AND spread joy and light. We miss you, John!
This week I questioned Dr. Schwartz, Trump’s nominee to lead the CDC, and I’m concerned. Not because she’s not qualified— she is. But because this administration has shown a pattern of undermining the independence of qualified leaders and our public health demands better.
Wishing a very happy birthday to the heart of our family! Here's to the woman who taught us the importance of staying grounded while reaching for the stars. Love you, Mom!
11 years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed what we already knew to be true: in the land of the free, everyone should be able to marry the person they love. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we have to defend our progress and keep pushing this fight forward.
People are getting priced out of the communities they call home. Workers are forced to move further from their jobs. Families are being forced to live out of their cars. We heard your voices loud and clear, and we took action to pass the first bold housing package in decades.
Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, creating chaos and uncertainty for healthcare access— leaving our communities vulnerable. No one should question their ability to get the care they need. We must restore access to reproductive care now.
It doesn't happen often, but... I agree with Thomas Massie
Today marks 250 years since Delaware declared independence from Pennsylvania and the British Crown. I had a great time celebrating at New Castle’s annual Separation Day Parade this weekend, where we reminded the world that we are - and always have been - the First State!
250 years ago, Delaware declared independence from both the British Crown and Pennsylvania. It also serves as a reminder that democracy has no kings. Excited to celebrate this historic day with my fellow Delawareans at the Separation Day Parade in New Castle.
These are your tax dollars hard at work. Are you happy with how he's spending them?
They want to tear down the Statue of Liberty now? Where will this administration's disrespect for our national treasures end?
Democrats want to spend our time and federal dollars addressing the affordability crisis that is making it nearly impossible for Americans to make ends meet. Senate Republicans clearly do not. My full statement on last night's vote ⬇
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.
After seeing a dad put back grapes because they were too expensive, I was inspired to try and make things better for families across Delaware. That's what government exists to do: make life easier - not harder - for people. This is a sign Trump's leadership is failing us.
Happy Pride Month, Delaware! This month is a reminder that everyone is welcome - and loved - here.
Exactly. This administration is spending your tax dollars to entertain and support the richest among us while everyone else struggles to get by. It's completely backwards— we should be helping out those who need it most, not millionaire and billionaire friends of the president.
"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.
No one should need to skip prescriptions or doctor's visits just to stay afloat. This data confirms what we already know – families are hurting. But when folks need help the most, Trump remains focused on his own selfish agenda.
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?
Under Pete Hegseth, military plans aren't the only thing leaking. They knew about a jet fuel leak contaminating Chesapeake Bay for MONTHS and covered it up. It's not enough to put our service members at risk, they're putting people and crops in harms way here at home as well.
