Under Pete Hegseth, military plans aren't the only thing leaking. They knew about a jet fuel leak contaminating Chesapeake Bay for MONTHS and covered it up. It's not enough to put our service members at risk, they're putting people and crops in harms way here at home as well.

Folks up and down our state know what happens when you don't have clean air to breathe. They're not alone: nearly half of all Americans are living in places with polluted air as this administration rolls back protections meant to keep our communities safe and healthy.

For the millions of Americans working long hours and making sacrifices to keep the lights on and the house warm, the President's obsession with stock market records couldn't be more out of touch.
Americans’ electricity was shut off 13 million times in a year, data shows
An advocate called the higher-than-expected numbers “jarring,” and consumer advocates say they signal a surprisingly high rate of extreme financial distress.

There is no excuse. None. Republicans have the votes, they have the power—and tonight they are choosing, deliberately, to do nothing for families and everything for ICE.   It’s past 3 AM and they’re jamming through $70 billion for ICE and $0 for families.   Spread the word.

Delaware is the lowest-lying state in the nation. Our farmers, families, and business owners deserve better than arrogant, ultra-rich secretaries telling them their home should be underwater. We have options—why is this administration ignoring them?

Congratulations to the crew of the Artemis II on their safe and successful return to earth. Thank you for reminding us all what our nation is capable of when we shoot for the stars, working - and dreaming - together!
‘It’s a special thing to be human’: Artemis II crew returns with awe, gratitude, and faith
After traveling approximately 695,000 miles over its 10-day trip around the moon, the Artemis II crew gave powerful reflections on their experience.

Thanks to health care cuts in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, nearly 450 hospitals across the country are cutting services and risk closing. That’s 6.6 million patients losing access and 275,000 workers left jobless. There's nothing beautiful about that.

President Trump said he would bring down prices on day one, and called himself the “President of Peace.” Fast forward to today: inflation is the highest it’s been in two years thanks to his dangerous, illegal war in Iran.
Inflation surges to highest level in nearly 2 years as energy costs spike
Consumer prices in March were up 3.3% from a year ago, the biggest annual increase in nearly two years. Higher gasoline prices tied to the war with Iran accounted for much of the surge.

This Women’s History Month, I joined my colleagues in introducing the Working Women’s Bill of Rights to empower women in our nation’s workforce. The Trump administration celebrated by doubling down on a lawsuit arguing that women’s professional development events are illegal.
Trump administration lawsuit says a women’s retreat is discrimination
The lawsuit signals a historic shift for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, whose chair issued an appeal asking White men to report discrimination.

We need to call this what it is: a blatant attempt to trample on the Constitution because of politics.   If you were born in the United States, you are a citizen.
Supreme Court casts doubt on Trump's bid to limit birthright citizenship as he attends arguments
The Supreme Court is casting doubt on President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship in a consequential case that was magnified by Trump’s norm-breaking presence in the courtroom.
