I was glad to welcome Alexis McGill Johnson from @ppfa.org to my office to talk about how we can work together to thwart Republicans’ backdoor abortion bans. They’re trying to use their budget to go after reproductive care in states with protections, but we won’t stand by and let it happen.
Every year @coons.senate.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and I have the honor of nominating outstanding Delaware students to our nation’s service academies. Come join us in Dover on Friday to meet representatives of these prestigious institutions and learn more about the application process.
Let me be Blunt: we have a housing crisis in this country, but developments like Chapel Branch in Lewes offer a solution. We need more affordable housing like this in Delaware and across the country, and I'll keep working to make more projects like Chapel Branch a reality.
Today, we came together to observe Memorial Day and honor the memory of those who lost their lives in service to our nation. We also marked another anniversary - a decade since we lost Beau Biden. It was an honor to join President Biden on this day of grief and solemn remembrance.
There are more than 1,000 cases of Measles in the U.S. for the second time in 30 years. As we see this disease spread, this administration has conspiracy theorists and people with little to no public health experience in charge of our health agencies. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Veterans everywhere know: the last thing an already short-staffed VA needs is to lose more than 80,000 employees. Republican cuts are going to rip care away from veterans who rely on it, and make it harder to access care for countless others.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, the government’s second-largest agency, serving some of America’s most vulnerable citizens, is set to lose 83,000 employees under the Trump administration’s cutbacks.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Rep. Charlie Rangel. The first Black chairman of the Ways & Means committee and a cofounder of the Congressional Black Caucus, he was a giant— a tireless fighter for his community and for the promise of equality. May he rest in eternal peace and power.
Breaking News: Charles Rangel, the former dean of New York’s congressional delegation who became the first Black chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, died at 94.
Happy Delaware Grown Week to all the farmers and producers who support our state! Choosing First State produce opens doors to community and sustainability with fresh, nutritious, delicious food— today is a great day to find a farmer’s market near you!
This week, Republicans took another middle-of-the-night step towards cutting Medicaid and SNAP and taking away thousands of jobs. All to give the super-rich another handout. Now, we fight to convince Senate Republicans to reject this bad deal.
I went to the floor today to share some of the stories I’ve heard from Delawareans whose lives depend on Medicaid. I want my Republican colleagues to hear their names and their stories so they understand the tradeoffs they’re making to support more tax cuts for the wealthy.
According to Sec. Zeldin, his agency had more than 1,500 "wins" to highlight in their first 100 days. So why do so many of them sound so similar? The reality is, he’s overseen cuts to rules and programs that keep us safe and healthy. Far from an accomplishment in my book.
There it is. Working people lose - not just income, but things like Medicaid, Social Security, clean water, access to the internet, and assistance starting a small business - all so the rich can get richer. This is a bad deal, and I refuse to support it.
A ripped headline reads "Wealthy gain, low-income people lose from GOP megabill, analysis finds. The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is already fueling Democratic accusations that the legislation is a giveaway to the rich.

The headline is superimposed over a photo of Speaker Mike Johnson (left) and President Donald Trump (right) standing in front of a statue and columns in the U.S. Capitol.
Let me be Blunt: this administration doesn’t know what’s going on at the CDC, and all our communities are at risk. We’ve been asking for months: who's really leading our public health response? We still haven’t heard back, so I’m demanding answers. Let’s see what we get.
