The Trump administration has undone nearly ALL the progress we’ve made in over two decades since Hurricane Katrina. As extreme weather becomes more frequent, dismantling systems that help us prepare and recover will have devastating consequences.
More than 180 current and former FEMA employees sent a sharply worded letter to Congress, warning that the Trump administration’s sweeping overhaul is gutting the disaster relief agency’s authority and capabilities, undoing two decades of progress since the failures of Hurricane Katrina.
Let Me Be Blunt: back-to-school season is going to cost more this year because of the Trump administration.   When the cost of living is already too high, they're taking steps to make getting everything from supplies to nutritious meals harder for our kids and families.
Bad news: Delawareans who get their health insurance on the marketplace will be paying higher rates this coming year - the highest since the last time President Trump was in office. And it’s directly because of actions taken by the Trump administration.
Two years ago, we celebrated the naming of the Challenge Program’s Gibbs Center in Wilmington. Yesterday, we cut the board (not the ribbon!) for its grand opening.  This center will provide vocational training and mentorship to young Delawareans, and I’m proud to watch the program grow.

1 in 4 Delawareans lives in a child care desert. That’s why I was proud to champion the American Rescue Plan Act which funded a Child Development Center at Delaware Technical Community College Stanton. Proud to be there for the groundbreaking in 2023 and the ribbon cutting today!

Our federal delegation was able to secure a major federal grant to enable Delmarva Central Railroad to make important upgrades and deliver more efficient and reliable service. This is huge for our producers and our supply chains alike here in Delaware and across the region.

As the ranking member of the Senate Committee on the Coast Guard, I was glad to visit Coast Guard Station Indian River to learn more about their work and how we in Congress can better support them as they work to keep our coasts and waterways safe.
Stopped by Milton this week to have lunch with Mayor John Collier and Town Manager Kristy Rogers at Lago Asian Cuisine & Sushi. Grateful for their continued partnership as we work to help small businesses like Lago thrive and build a strong, resilient community in this historic town.

Children's Beach House was founded in Lewes to improve the lives of children and their families – work they have been doing since 1936.    On Wednesday, we talked about how Congress can play a role in securing the funding they need to keep this institution going for generations to come.

This week, I visited Coast Guard Station Indian River. It was great to learn more about the station, the guardsmen, their missions, their families, & the unique challenges they face.   I'll keep these stories in mind as I continue to lead the Subcommittee on the Coast Guard, Maritime, and Fisheries.

90 years ago today, Social Security made it possible for millions of Americans to retire with dignity. Democrats are committed to protecting this program and ensuring seniors, those with disabilities, and so many more can access their hard-earned benefits after they’ve left the workforce.
Deploying the National Guard to DC is a waste of federal resources. I'm especially concerned for the unhoused people in the District. Forcibly arresting people does nothing to end homelessness. I stand with @homelesslaw.bsky.social and advocates against this senseless crackdown.
UPDATE: Unlawful arrests and forced displacement of homeless D.C. residents expected to begin this morning at 10 AM with federal and local police throwing away tents at 62 encampments; arrests are expected to begin at nightfall to avoid media attention.https://buff.ly/gRAsxWS
Visited Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge yesterday where I got to hear about critical research and conservation initiatives, learn Delaware history, and do some birdwatching.   Their efforts are critical as we work to pass one of Delaware’s natural treasures on to future generations.

Thanks to President Trump and Congressional Republicans, a 55-year-old earning nearly $63,000/year in Delaware could see their annual health insurance premiums rise by an average of $5,780. I don’t know about you, but I want Delawareans to pay less for their healthcare, not more.
