From bullying networks to threatening reporters who report anything beyond talking points, the Trump administration is undermining the First Amendment.
We must stand up for journalists and their vital role in protecting against corruption and abuse.

As a landlord, Trump was sued for racial housing discrimination. As president, he’s working to dismantle fair housing laws that protect working families and communities of color. Safe, affordable housing should not be a privilege—it is a human right
Shana Tova to everyone in Delaware celebrating Rosh Hashanah!
Wishing you a new year full of good health, happiness, and plenty of time spent with loved ones.

It's the first day of fall, and Trump is celebrating by taxing YOUR morning cup of coffee by an average of almost 15%.
Leaves might be falling, but thanks to this reckless trade war, coffee prices are rising. It's time Republicans join Democrats to END these idiotic tariffs.
Peace.
It’s something we all need right now.
We need to champion policies that help folks find peace on a personal level—the kind of peace that comes with a steady job and a place to call home.
It’s alarming that in the same weekend the president says he ‘hates’ his political opponents, we also learned he's trying to use the DOJ to baselessly prosecute them.
This is an outrageous abuse of power- we need a president who serves us all, not just his supporters.
Proud to join the annual AIDS Walk in Wilmington, hosted by AIDS Delaware and the Delaware HIV Consortium.
We have made so much progress against this disease but there is so much more work to be done.
Progress Doesn’t Pause, and Neither Can We.
Today, I was proud to vote for a bill that would fund the government AND address the health care crisis created by President Trump and his allies in Congress.
My full statement on the ongoing government funding negotiations:

SOON: Republicans will vote to shut down our government instead of passing something simple to prevent your premiums from SKYROCKETING.
Here’s what’s going on and why you’re likely to have way higher health care costs next year:
This week, we found out just how hard Sec. Kennedy is working to undermine vaccines at the CDC.
Now, his hand-picked committee is changing a science-based vaccine recommendation, making it harder for parents to keep their kids safe and healthy.
Our families deserve better.
JUST IN: Vaccine advisers to the CDC have voted to recommended against using the combined measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox vaccine for children under 4. https://cnn.it/3K73pNn

Good morning, it's a great day for Republicans to choose to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis they themselves created.
No one wants a shutdown but Donald Trump.
Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and keep hospitals from closing.
The dignity of work is essential to what it means to be an American.
I know jobs. I love jobs. And I know that for Americans to find purpose in their work, we need a different approach to jobs in this country.
Honored to receive a Congressional Champion Award from the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law
alongside my good friend and colleague @hoyer.house.gov.
As we mark 35 years of the ADA, the work to protect and advance disability rights is absolutely vital.
You don’t have to agree with Jimmy Kimmel to be outraged by his suspension.
Punishing someone for exercising free speech is what autocrats do.
If you care about the freedoms this country was built on, now is the time to speak up.
I opened my speech with a quote from the late, great Barbara Jordan, whose questions about division in our nation ring as true today as they did nearly 50 years ago.
The question before us is clear: how do we rekindle Bright Hope for America?
Harrowing photos like this one helped shape our nation’s story and ultimately achieve a future free from the horrors of slavery.
Now, the Trump administration is trying to hide the darkest parts of our history—we can’t let that happen.
The recommendation to vaccinate babies against hepatitis B nearly eliminated infections.
So why is RFK Jr. letting his anti-vaccine allies put that recommendation in jeopardy?
Today I asked former Director Monarez to explain how CDC recommendations help keep our kids safe.
Yesterday, in my Maiden Speech, I talked about Bright Hope.
For me, Bright Hope is more than the church my grandmother attended— it’s a call to action, it’s what keeps me going in the darkest times. It’s a goal we set for ourselves as Americans.
Secretary Kennedy needs to go.
It shouldn't be this hard for medical professionals - people caring for our kids, sick, and elderly - to get access to vaccines that will protect them and their patients.
This administration is making us sicker.
