This nation was founded on the idea that we could aspire to more than autocrats and monarchs. Today, we are reminded that our greatness is rooted in our never-ending pursuit of a more perfect union.
Happy Independence Day, Delaware!

Today we mark 61 years of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In the face of efforts to reverse this progress and erase our histories, this anniversary is a reminder that the fight for equality requires a constant, active effort.
My full statement on the passage of Republicans' Reconciliation Bill:
How did Republicans react when they advanced their bill to sell out the working Americans, kick millions off health care, and force countless more to go hungry?
Applause.
Remember this moment.
Republicans just made it clear where they stand. By passing their big bad bill, they’re selling out working Americans and families everywhere to help those who need no extra help.
But make no mistake: We’ll never stop fighting to protect the people Republicans left behind today.
With the way they’re trying to rush this bill - handwritten notes, backroom deals, and all - it’s like they don’t want you to know what’s in it. That’s because they don’t.
This big bad bill sells out the American people, and they’re doing everything they can to sneak it through.

I'm on the Senate floor right now debating Trump's Big Ugly bill, and I really worry Americans do not fully realize just how bad it is.
Please help get the word out.
This is just SOME of what's in the bill (so far).

Republicans just voted NO to save funding for labor and delivery rooms for mommas and babies.
@bluntrochester.senate.gov asked a simple question: do we stand for billionaires or moms and babies?
Republicans voted with the billionaires and threw mommas and babies under the bus. It’s cruel.
It's sunrise, and Republicans are scrambling behind closed doors to get the votes for their big ugly bill.
Here's what we know: this bill would slash vital programs, and those huge cuts don't even cover the cost of their billionaire tax breaks.
Stay tuned today.
There are plenty of words to describe Republicans' effort to cut off families’ access to health care, nutritious meals, home heating, and more.
Tonight I asked my @democrats.senate.gov colleagues to tell me one word they'd use.
Today, Republicans rejected my amendment that would have protected Medicaid and access to maternal care.
They could have stood up for moms and families, but chose to stand up for billionaires instead.
Today’s the day we’re voting on Republicans’ bill that would kick millions off their health care and force millions more to go hungry all to give a tax break to those who need it the least.
I’ll continue to bring your stories to the Senate floor as we fight to stop this cruelty.
Republicans’ newest version of their Big Bad Budget bill cuts $100 billion MORE from Medicaid than the original.
It’s not just cruel, it makes no sense.
But this fight isn’t over. Keep making your voice heard, and together we’ll do everything we can to kill this bill.
This decision further constrains the courts’ ability to serve as a check on an executive branch that continues to demonstrate its willingness to put political goals above the Constitution.
Trump’s hand-picked Justices just weakened our ability to stand up for our communities.
For so many across the country on Medicaid, @ppfa.org means access to reproductive care, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and much more.
This disastrous ruling is going to cut millions of Americans off from the care they need.
In our meeting, the nominee to lead the CDC told me she didn’t believe members of ACIP had conflicts of interest.
Now, after RFK Jr. fired them all, she’s changed her tune.
We need to pass my VACCINE Act to prevent reckless leaders from putting our kids’ health at risk.
Was glad to welcome AARP Delaware to discuss health and food security for Delawareans.
We agreed: we can’t let Republicans’ proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP and higher prescription drug prices make life harder for tens of millions of older Americans.
I welcomed the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence for an important conversation about protecting federal funding for domestic violence programs, and I was moved by the stories they shared with me.
I’ll do everything I can to protect funding for these critical programs.
We have an opportunity to commit to a better future— one where my granddaughter’s generation has more freedoms than we had, not less.
@democrats.senate.gov are ready to take that opportunity. I hope my colleagues across the aisle have the courage to do the same.

ACIP exists to make sure vaccines are safe & effective. By replacing experts with vaccine skeptics, RFK Jr. has undone the credibility of this nonpartisan panel and put public health at risk.
This meeting isn't about safety— it's a further effort to undermine faith in vaccines.
