For months, I’ve been pressing RFK Jr to restore our vaccine approval process after he delayed and obstructed this key body. He never responded. Now, he’s dismissed every member without cause. This is a dangerous and thoughtless decision with our communities’ health on the line.
BREAKING: RFK Jr. removes all 17 members of vaccine committee for CDC
The last time the President tried to enforce his discriminatory travel ban, I was against it— today is no different. These bans do nothing for the safety of American families, they only continue to stoke fear and mass disruption. This order should be reversed immediately.
BREAKING: Trump's new ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries takes effect.
Excited to help celebrate the opening of the Early Childhood Innovation Center and Early Childhood Lab School @delstateuniv.bsky.social. Thanks to major federal investments, these facilities will help strengthen early childhood education in Delaware for years to come.
Take it from the people administering these programs every day. Cuts to SNAP aren’t about eliminating waste, fraud, or abuse. They’re about abandoning families who need help the most to give a massive tax break to those who need it least.
This is the story with this administration – they can say the right things all they want. At the end of the day, the actions they take tell a different story. Our students deserve leaders who work to make sure everyone has equal access to learning.
SNAP is about giving families the tools they need to succeed – I know, because one of those families was mine. I’ll never stop pushing back against Republican cuts to programs like this one so families across this country get the same chance I did.
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.
