Wishing a happy birthday to Delaware’s Attorney General Kathy Jennings! I’m proud to be working alongside you to stand up for our neighbors’ fundamental freedoms and hold the Trump administration accountable.
Rep. McBride and Attorney General Jennings
I am sick and tired of Republican politicians telling us not to believe our lying eyes and that we should take the president figuratively and not literally, all because they want to avoid actually engaging with the substance of what this president is doing and saying.
I am praying for the safe recovery of the crew following these reports of a downed United States fighter jet in Iran. My heart goes out to the family these servicemembers and to the search and rescue operators who are working to bring them home safely.
Iran shot down a U.S. fighter jet over the country, U.S. officials said on Friday. The fate of the plane’s crew was unclear, as American officials scrambled to mount a search and rescue operation before Iran could get to any survivors, officials said.
1/ The Indian River Inlet Sand Bypass System plays a crucial role in protecting a treasured piece of Delaware’s natural heritage—our coast—while strengthening storm resilience, supporting beach nourishment, and safeguarding critical transportation infrastructure.

Today marks one year since Trump’s infamous “liberation day,” when he imposed reckless tariffs on countries around the world—causing the prices of everyday items from phones to coffee to rise. So, a year later, are you feeling liberated?
It was wonderful to speak with University of Delaware and City College of New York students who are participating in the Washington DC Fellows program! These students are getting impactful experience interning across policy spaces in DC and gaining invaluable insight in their Spring semester.

Tonight, Donald Trump tried to convince the American people that his war of choice has been a success—while delivering a deranged series of lies and misleading claims. ⬇️
Tonight, Donald Trump tried to convince the American people that his war of choice has been a success—while delivering a deranged series of lies and misleading claims.

Lies about the war in Iran. Misleading claims about why my neighbors are facing rising gas prices. And rambling, unclear answers about how long our servicemembers will remain in harm’s way.

Instead of offering a clear objective, the president delivered wildly contradictory statements—and made one thing clear: he still doesn't know what he's doing.
Trump: "We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong."
It was great to meet with Dr. Mary Swenson and hear about her vision for the Delaware World Trade Center and how Congress can support international trade for our state. I’ll keep working to ensure Delaware's businesses are supported in our global markets so they can keep driving innovation.

Trans people deserve to be visible today, and everyday. It is easy to feel hopeless, especially when your identity is being scrutinized daily. But despair is the goal. On this TDOV, I want to encourage all of us to harness the power of hope and optimism; this is not how our story ends.
Amtrak is part of the beating heart of Wilmington—connecting Delawareans to communities across the Northeast and keeping our economy moving. I am proud to work with a bipartisan group of colleagues for investments in passenger rail infrastructure to improve affordability, reliability, and safety.
Instead of having the House vote on a bipartisan deal to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard that had been unanimously passed by the Senate, House Republicans instead put forward a bill that would prolong this shutdown and give Donald Trump and ICE a blank check with no accountability. I voted no.
2/ Republicans in Congress are so extreme that they want to reject a bipartisan deal and deprive people of their paychecks, subject travelers to delays, and prolong this shutdown—all to give ICE a blank check.
1/ House Republicans have chosen to extend the government shutdown and withhold paychecks from TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Last night, the Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill to fund every part of DHS—except ICE and CBP—the same approach Democrats have been putting forward for weeks.
2/ I was lucky to hear from Delaware leaders in Smyrna about the legacy of women's civic engagement and how we can work to maintain access to the ballot box for all women, especially in the face of attempts to undermine that access.
