1/ I had the pleasure of taking a boat tour of Thompson Island, where the first phase of a new living shoreline project led by the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays is located.

I am saddened and disappointed to hear of the loss of two brave servicemembers in Jordan. As we await further details of this attack, my thoughts are with their loved ones at this deeply difficult moment.

1/ Today marks the sixth anniversary of the passing of Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights icon whose tireless work and unwavering belief in democracy helped transform our nation.

1/ Delawareans! Due to lingering smoke from Canadian wildfires, local officials have issued a Code Red air quality alert for all of Delaware. While folks with heart or lung conditions are at increased risk, everyone should be cautious in these conditions.

1/ Recently, I joined Limen Recovery + Wellness for their Life & Recovery Pride Month Celebration and had the opportunity to hear from members of the community about their journeys of recovery, resilience, and hope.

1/ The murder of yet another person at the hands of ICE agents is one more example of what happens when this administration is able to operate with zero oversight or accountability. I am thinking of the Biddeford community as they navigate this cruel and avoidable crime.

Recently I had the chance to tour the Delaware Skills Center & celebrate a $1M+ federal investment to purchase and renovate a new facility! This Center has been training the next gen of health care & construction professionals and this investment will deepen their impact in Delaware.

Building affordable housing starts with ensuring reliable infrastructure. That is why I am proud to have secured $250,000 for this project in Laurel — which will  expand and strengthen the sewer capacity to support a new housing structure.

Paid leave and childcare for all are the kinds of big and bold economic policies that Americans of all different ideological backgrounds are demanding.

Happy Fourth of July, Delaware & America!

One year later, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” has made life harder and more expensive for working families. This is what happens when Washington chooses billionaires over working people.

1/ Some days in this job are particularly awe-inspiring — like today, when I joined my colleagues at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to celebrate that on this day 250 years ago our predecessors in the Continental Congress voted that our colonies were free and independent states.

1/ Today's decision is a win for upholding the Constitution and the ideals that have long shaped our nation. It firmly rejects the president's attempt to chip away at citizenship through exception after exception.

1/ Transgender Americans want the same things as every other American: the freedom to build a good life, earn a livable wage, and fully participate in their communities — including, for many, the camaraderie, discipline, and sense of belonging that come from sports.

1/ This morning, the Supreme Court just delivered a major rebuke to Donald Trump's favorite obsession: election denial.

POV: your AI transparency bill just unamiously passed out of committee 😎

Donald Trump's extremist Supreme Court has cleared the way for his administration to strip legal protections from hundreds of thousands of people who registered, were vetted, trusted and followed the legal process, and, until now, lived and worked legally in this country.

1/ I am thrilled to share that my office has received the Congressional Management Foundation's Best of Constituent Service Award!

1/ I am honored to have been selected by Leader Jeffries to lead the Working Group on Caregiving alongside Rep. Morgan McGarvey.

Today marks four years since the Supreme Court stripped the constitutional right to abortion from millions of women, forcing many of our neighbors — from patients to providers — to live in fear.

1/ The President just cancelled the signing for that bipartisan housing bill I told you about yesterday — all because he is throwing a tantrum since the Senate will not pass his so-called "Save America" Act.

I don’t always get to share good news after voting on the floor, but today I do: the first major housing bill in decades — the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — has passed Congress. It’ll help Delawareans afford housing and I was proud to vote yes.

1/ The R/V Hugh R. Sharp is a vital asset for Delaware, for our coast, and for our country. When I first visited the the Sharp, the team at the University of Delaware expressed how crucial mid-life improvements to the vessel would be for its continued operation.

1/ The cost of housing is too high across Delaware — especially in communities like Sussex County. I visited Laurel to see how the funding I secured will help build the infrastructure needed for new affordable housing.

Happy Father's Day!  Wishing a happy Father's Day to all the dads and father figures in Delaware and across the country, including my dad, Dave!

1/ In Georgetown, my office hosted our first-ever Emergency Preparedness Fair alongside more than 30 federal, state, and local agencies and community organizations.

1/ In Lewes, I visited the University of Delaware’s R/V Hugh R. Sharp, where more than $1 million in federal funding I secured will support critical upgrades to Delaware’s flagship research vessel.

In an emergency, preparation can make all the difference. That’s why my office partnered with state and local agencies in Sussex County to host an emergency preparedness fair — sharing information on flooding, hurricanes, evacuation plans, first aid, insurance, and more.

It was great to join so many neighbors at the 4th Annual Juneteenth Experience in Smyrna today to celebrate Juneteenth and the enduring promise of freedom for all.

I was grateful to spend part of today at IMAC's Juneteenth Freedom Celebration in Wilmington, where we came together to celebrate the end of slavery in America, honor the countless contributions of Black communities across Delaware, and recommit to the ongoing fight for justice and equality for all.

1/ This week, I brought mayors and municipal leaders together from across western Sussex County to hear directly about what they’re seeing in their communities.

I will continue praying for all of the neighbors who are picking up the pieces today in the aftermath of this tragedy — gun violence has absolutely no place in our state.

I am aware of reports of a shooting at Wilmington Hospital. As we await more information, I’m praying for the patients and providers who were on site.

My dearest Delawareans, happy Separation Day. Breaking free of the tyrannical yoke of both the United Kingdom, and the far worse Pennsylvania, was — quite plainly — one of our finest decisions. Two hundred and fifty years later, I felt behooved to send a message to mark the occasion.

Small businesses are the backbone of Delaware’s economy and, right now, need support that can help them thrive.

Paid leave is a win-win-win. It's a win for workers, it's a win for businesses, and it's a win for our economy overall.

Agriculture is the leading industry in Delaware, and the challenges that are facing the ag community today are unprecedented — with nearly every facet of the industry under pressure, from workforce shortages to environmental challenges.

1/ Healthcare is a right, not a privilege — and government has a responsibility to secure that right for everyone.

Congressional Republicans have made no effort to implement the commonsense, lifesaving reforms to ICE & CBP that my colleagues and I have demanded. Instead, the House passed a bill to cut another $70 billion blank check to DHS that is both dangerous and unnecessary. Why am I not surprised?

It was wonderful to join the Building & Construction Trades Council for their annual Banquet in Newark to celebrate graduates and current participants in registered apprenticeship programs.

I recently met with Lucretia Young, State Director for AARP Delaware, to discuss protecting Social Security & Medicare, family caregivers, and cracking down on scams targeting older Americans. I will keep working to ensure Del. seniors and older adults have the resources & support they need.

I enjoyed meeting with Royale Pigments and Brainerd Chemical to discuss safety in chemical distribution, products that are vital to goods and services across Delaware.

I joined members of Delaware/New Jersey Laborers Local 199 in Newark to hear from workers about the challenges facing construction & infrastructure workforce. Strong unions mean better wages, safer work, stronger benefits, & security for working families. I’ll always stand with Delaware workers.

I met with Del. Supreme Court Chief Justice Collins Seitz to discuss judicial security & the importance of supporting state court systems. Courts are where people go during some of the hardest moments of their lives, & a justice system that is safe, accessible, & fair is a pillar of our democracy.

Marco Rubio and the president seem to think that Article V of the NATO alliance should only apply if the United States owns the land in question. What's worse, Rubio refused to commit to ensuring the U.S. upholds our end of the bargain.

Secretary Rubio agrees with the president that we "never got anything from NATO", even though the only time Article V has been invoked was to come to the defense of the United States after 9/11, resulting more than a thousand of lives lost by our European allies.

About to question Secretary Rubio on this president's disastrous and destructive foreign policy.

What started as a coordinated attempt to rewrite the rules in favor of Congressional Republicans has, predictably, resulted in a Supreme Court decision that puts in use the very map that this same court had previously deemed racially discriminatory.

In Rehoboth, I joined health care providers, advocates, and researchers for an important conversation about the health and wellbeing of Delaware’s children and families.

I joined the Delaware Africa Chamber of Commerce at the Bear Library to celebrate Africa Day and recognize the strength, contributions, and leadership of Delaware’s African diaspora communities.
