Our communities can’t shoulder 400% increases to their health insurance premiums. Republicans have the power to stop that from happening, but the clock is ticking.

Health care was already too expensive to begin with. Republicans in DC have decided to pour gasoline on the fire and double premiums for millions. I’m not ok with that.

As information comes in about the tragic shooting of two West Virginia National Guardsmen in DC today, I’m praying for them, their loved ones, and their colleagues. This type of violence is unacceptable.

I was lucky enough to spend time with some of Delaware's most dedicated community servants ahead of Thanksgiving. We are a state of neighbors. Whether it be serving meals to families in need or supporting local businesses that power the local economy, it was great to see

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Viola Ford Fletcher, one of the last survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, at the age of 111. Mother Fletcher, as she was affectionately known, overcame incredible odds to live a full life dedicated to truth, healing, and justice. My

This is completely unacceptable and only further fans the flames of political violence in this country. Both sides of the aisle should come together to condemn it.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

Looks like the EPA is celebrating another self-aggrandizing list. Surprising no one, it’s riddled with hyperbole and misdirection. Here are just a few lowlights:
On President Trump’s 300th day, the EPA is releasing a list of our top 300 environmental wins this year as we Power the Great American Comeback.

.@usedgov's job was never day-to-day management of classrooms, it was to protect our kids from discrimination and give every student the chance to thrive. Don’t be fooled. The impacts of their negligence will be measured in years, not weeks or months.

At this point, everyone knows that current and former Delaware Senators love @Amtrak. So, this should come as no surprise... Congratulations, Amtrak, on a record breaking year and keep showing our country what passenger rail can do!
FY25 was our most record-breaking year to date across ridership, revenue, and capital investment.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees. Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.
IRS Direct File, the electronic system for filing tax returns for free, will not be offered next year, the Trump administration has confirmed. https://t.co/exHCH3gRIV

The White House may have a new gilded ballroom and a new marble bathroom, but hardworking Americans are struggling to afford housing. It's time for the federal government to get off the sidelines when it comes to solving our housing crisis.
New foreclosures jump 20% in October, a sign of more distress in the housing market
