This president is taking notes from his favorite dictator. Let’s be clear: a president with popular policies wouldn’t need to illegally gerrymander districts, ban voting machines, or abolish vote-by-mail. This is an all-out assault not just on free & fair elections—but on American democracy itself.

While in Harrington last week, I joined Delaware Electric Cooperative for its annual meeting—a great opportunity for members and the community to come together, hear important updates on DEC’s efforts to lower electric rates across the state, and discuss how elected leaders can help.

Mike Castle was a giant in Delaware politics—having served in the state House and Senate, as Lieutenant Governor, Governor, and in the very seat I now hold in the U.S. House. My deepest sympathies are with Jane and all his loved ones as they grieve this great loss. Read my full statement here:

Rep. McBride on the Passing of Mike Castle

WILMINGTON, DE — Today, Congresswoman Sarah McBride (D-DE) issued the following statement on the passing of former Delaware Congressman and Governor Mike Castle:"Mike Castle was a giant in Delaware politics—having served in the state House and Senate, as Lieutenant Governor, Governor, and in the very seat I now hold in the U.S. House.

2/ I’ll continue to use my voice to protect these benefits—and the people who depend on them.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 14(source)

1/ Today marks 90 years since Social Security became law—providing generations of Americans with the benefits they’ve earned. Congress should be working to protect and expand Social Security, not cutting the staff that administer it, like the Trump administration has done.

I was excited to visit the Air Mobility Command Museum in Dover—a testament to DE's role in aviation history. The collection includes aircraft from World War II to the modern era, including Air Force Two, which was used by several vice presidents. A must-see when visiting the heart of our state!

2/ The residents’ message to the folks in Washington was clear: seniors and older Delawareans deserve stability, security, and respect.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 13(source)

1/ Ensuring that seniors and older adults can age with dignity is paramount. That’s why I visited B’nai B’rith House in Claymont to share how I’m working to lower prescription drug costs and protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP from ongoing attacks by the administration.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 11(source)

2/ If only he mustered a fraction of this urgency in stopping the very insurrection in D.C. he incited—instead of pardoning the violent criminals involved.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 11(source)

1/ Donald Trump continues his pitiful—and dangerous—performance as an authoritarian wannabe. Crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low, but Trump is hellbent on abusing his power to politicize local law enforcement, undermining trust, progress, and public safety.

Delaware lost a beloved neighbor. John Brady wasn’t just a trailblazer—he was a leader whose life was anchored in service to others. His kindness, courage, & generosity won’t soon be forgotten, & his legacy will continue to inspire all who work to make our state a better place. Rest in peace, John.

What better way to celebrate our boss’ birthday today than with a Taylor Swift × “august” × Rep. McBride collab? Happy birthday to the fiercest defender of Delaware—and fearless Swiftie—Congresswoman McBride! Love, Team McBride 🖤🤍

2/ As Gabby says, stopping gun violence takes courage—and together, we can turn that courage into action that can save lives.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 8(source)

1/ I was honored to host Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in Wilmington to talk about how Delaware has made historic progress in combating gun violence—and how the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress are undermining our safety.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 8(source)

2/ This move isn’t about protecting veterans—it’s about undermining the rights of those who serve them.

VA terminates union contracts, as WH labor actions hit veterans again

The Trump crackdown on the federal workforce continues, with veterans bearing the brunt of the cuts.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 8(source)

1/ Trump’s assault on federal workers continues—this time stripping collective bargaining rights from VA employees, the very people who ensure our veterans and their families receive the care and support they deserve.

Happy birthday, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social! Grateful to stand with you—and all @housedemocrats.bsky.social—in supporting working families, lowering costs, and defending our democracy.

I joined @scanlon.house.gov & @houlahan.house.gov at the Brandywine Museum of Art, just across the line in Pennsylvania, where we heard from museum leaders about how federal support made their recovery from Hurricane Ida possible—& the work now underway to fortify the museum against future flooding.

2/ While the Trump admin ignores that truth, I was proud to bring @scanlon.house.gov & @houlahan.house.gov to the Veolia PFAS Water Filtration Plant in Wilmington to spotlight the progress Delaware is making in removing PFAS—or “forever chemicals”—from our water systems & protecting public health.
