In case you missed it, my colleagues and I advanced the ROAD to Housing Act a few weeks ago. It’s a bipartisan package that will help us address the cost of housing, and it includes three bills I authored. Affordable housing is a top priority for me because it's a top priority for Delaware.
I want to wish @mcbride.house.gov a very happy birthday today! Our Congresswoman is a true friend, an amazing public servant, and a role model for future generations of leaders in our state. Congresswoman, enjoy your day! Here’s to another year of service to the First State ❤️

I want to remind everyone that Republicans’ big, ugly bill puts 13,000 Delawareans at risk of losing some of their critical SNAP benefits. Delawareans are not just numbers on a page - they are our friends, our loved ones, and our neighbors. They deserve better than this.
As we mark National Health Center Week, we come together to celebrate 60 years of progress.   Health centers in Delaware and across the country help provide care to the communities that need it most, and I’m proud to work every day to make sure they have the resources they need.

Let Me Be Blunt: the right to vote is under attack.   As Republicans around the country try to make it harder for some folks to vote, we're fighting to restore, strengthen, and expand the right to vote for every American.   It's time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Firing long-serving federal workers for doing their job is unconscionable. This is cruel to dedicated public servants and further proof of this administration's effort to politicize the DOJ. Protecting and upholding the law cannot be a partisan effort.
I was inspired to serve in Congress after watching a dad put back grapes in my local grocery store— now, we're seeing more families than ever are struggling with basic necessities. We need leaders who fight to bring down costs for everyone, not just themselves.
New polling shows that 1 in 7 Americans report using Buy Now, Pay Later service like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay to get groceries. www.axios.com/2025/08/04/g...
Just remember: thanks to this administration and Congressional Republicans, you're paying $4.1 trillion - not to fix roads or bridges, help you afford a home or health care, or put food on the table - but to give the richest among us another handout.
New analysis: CBO says the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will create $718 billion in additional debt-service costs, which brings the law's overall red-ink projection up to $4.1 trillion. www.cbo.gov/system/files...
The reality is: our communities are facing stronger hurricanes, more frequent floods, and near-constant extreme temps because of climate change. We can feel it. Ignoring or manipulating the facts won't change that. We owe it to our kids to act— not pretend like nothing's wrong.
Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they accurately report on your struggling economy isn't just corrupt, it's deeply irresponsible. Undermining our economic data is only going to create further chaos and uncertainty for our businesses big and small.
Breaking: Trump says he ordered the firing of Erika McEntarfer, accusing the labor statistics commissioner of manipulating jobs data.
The impact of the gun violence epidemic on communities throughout Delaware inspired me to do this work. People were calling Wilmington ‘Murdertown’— it was unacceptable. Thank you to Community Justice for partnering in the work to make us safer, and for this recognition!
SNAP doesn’t just feed hungry kids and families–it sets individuals up for a lifetime of better health. Remind me again, why are Republicans and Trump gutting this lifesaving program? Oh yeah, tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Again. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Democrats offered an amendment to simply ensure that if taxpayers spend $1 billion retrofitting a Qatari jet, it doesn't transfer to Trump after his presidency for his personal use. Republicans voted NO and blocked the amendment. This is the most corrupt administration in history. Easily.
Let Me Be Blunt: It’s way too expensive to rent or buy a home in this country—this week, we finally took action. The Banking Committee passed a major package of legislation to fast track new construction and give millions of Americans a place to call home. Next stop: Senate floor.
By claiming climate change and the pollution that causes it aren’t a threat to Americans, this administration is giving big polluters a green light to make our air and water dirtier and our communities sicker as a result. Make no mistake: this endangers all our communities.
For over 40 years, the Preventative Services Task Force has played a key role in keeping our communities safe and healthy. But as expected, RFK Jr. is moving to disband it. This is further proof that he’s unfit to lead HHS. We’re going to fight this.
From veterans to new families to kids, people across America are feeling the strain of the housing affordability crisis. For the first time in over a decade, our committee just passed bipartisan legislation to increase housing supply, cut red tape, and spur innovation.
