The YMCA of Delaware's Youth in Government program does an incredible job helping students learn about public service.
These are challenging times, but our young people are our future. I can’t wait to see all they go on to achieve in our state and beyond!

While you were asleep, Republicans forced through their terrible budget.
They rejected amendments to protect access to Social Security, support grants that fund Meals on Wheels, and direct tax breaks to working families.
More proof of where their priorities are.
We're waiting on Senate Republicans to figure out how they want to push through their massive billionaire tax cut.
They're worried because so many of you have raised your voice and stood up to their efforts to rob Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
Keep it up.
Of course he’s “not joking.” Ever since his return to the Oval Office, Trump has made it clear he thinks he’s above the law.
He’s not, and I’ll keep working to push back against his near-constant attacks on our founding principles.
We should all be able to call out the dangerous mismanagement of sensitive information.
Proud to join my colleagues in calling on AG Pam Bondi to do the right thing, investigate this Signal chat security breach, and hold accountable all those responsible.
Nothing more liberating than the beginning of a recession.
These careless Trump tariffs are going to send costs for Americans through the roof, and they want to celebrate.
This isn't efficient. This isn't helping patients or providers.
This is chaos and cruelty that will hurt the health of our communities.
Also, it's just a horrible way to treat good people who signed up to serve their country.

I just stepped off the Senate floor where I've been watching @booker.senate.gov give one of the most passionate and moving speeches I've ever witnessed. He's calling on us to stand up for our country and fight for its principles.
If you're not watching, now is the time to tune in.
My colleagues and I are demanding answers from this administration on their plans to "overhaul" the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
As we face a catastrophic housing crisis, I'm working to make sure this administration can't do more to drive up your mortgage costs. We won't let it happen.
I join everyone celebrating #TransDayOfVisibility today!
It is more important than ever that we not only stand up to transphobic hate, but that we do all we can to create more safe and inclusive communities for all.
Today and every day, trans rights are human rights.
Last year, Democrats helped lead a rule to cap overdraft fees at $5.
When your overdraft fees skyrocket, thank Senate Republicans. They just got rid of that rule.
Natural disasters are getting more and more frequent and the Trump administration is now telling states: ‘fend for yourselves.’
It’s as heartless as it is thoughtless, and our communities will be worse off for it.
Thanks to the Trump administration, the stock markets are in free fall, your 401k is in the gutter, and consumer confidence from everyone rich and poor is worse off.
This isn’t leadership. It’s chaos and confusion.
Freezing funding for Planned Parenthood would hurt countless patients and millions of people who won’t be able to get the health care they need – birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, or even wellness exams.
The cruelty agenda continues.

In Sec. Lutnick’s confirmation hearing, he told me he would oppose the dismantling of the Minority Business Development Agency.
Now, he’s letting it happen and I’m joining @cantwell.senate.gov to demand answers.
The Trump administration is canceling hundreds of grants aimed at delivering cleaner air and water for communities nationwide. This is clearly illegal and harmful to the health of people everywhere.
Proud to lead a letter with @epw.senate.gov demanding these vital grants be reinstated.
Stopped to check in with members of Delaware’s NCRC, and talk about how we can work together to push for meaningful investments that grow our communities.
They know better than anyone: community development should be community-driven.
Information is classified for a reason. Irresponsibly sharing very clear war plans via group chat could have gotten our troops killed. This time, we averted a tragedy.
Hegseth wasn't qualified for the job before his nomination, and he certainly isn't now.
The Trump administration just halted nearly 20 truckloads of food to help feed hungry Delawareans. That’s 900,000 meals taken away from the Food Bank of Delaware.
As grocery prices continue to squeeze our communities, this decision will mean countless families lose access to their next meal.
