Today is World AIDS Day. We should honor the memory of those we've lost to AIDS and commit to strengthening prevention and treatment efforts. To achieve our goal of an AIDS-free generation, we must continue investing in research, not turn a blind eye.

Our service members are being asked to carry out extra-judicial killings that are not only illegal, they’re immoral and do little to keep our communities safe from drug trafficking. Sec. Hegseth needs to answer for these reckless strikes, now. They cannot continue.

Happy Thanksgiving, Delaware! Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, restful, and blessed holiday.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 26(source)

I was lucky enough to spend time with some of Delaware's most dedicated community servants ahead of Thanksgiving. Whether it be serving meals to families in need or supporting local businesses that power the local economy, it was great to see Delaweareans there for each other this holiday season.

I’d rather Sec. Duffy try to focus on keeping planes in the air and on time. Maybe that’s just me.

Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

This morning, I met with the Delaware State FOP to discuss issues affecting law enforcement here in Delaware and across the nation. I’m grateful to our state’s brave, dedicated officers and I’ll do everything I can to support their work to keep our communities safe.

Glad to tour the BrightBloom Center at Nylon Capital Shopping Center in Seaford. Geared toward children with autism and other special needs, this place is a wellspring of learning and enrichment. Thank you to the staff for telling us about the amazing work they do!

Nylon Capital Shopping Center used to be a regional landmark, but it has fallen by the wayside in recent years. Now, it’s coming back. Thanks to an incredible vision, and $20M from the American Rescue Plan Act, we're on the verge a new era here in Seaford! February 2024 and now:

Earlier this year, Michael, a Veteran, reached out to my team about getting his honorable discharge certificate. While working to help him, we learned he was also entitled to an award! I was so proud to welcome him to our office, present his awards, and thank him for his service.

Nooses are symbols of hate. Swastikas – the literal symbol of the Nazi Party, the perpetrators of the Holocaust – are symbols of hate. This isn’t controversial.⁣ ⁣ This isn’t how you recruit upstanding Americans into our armed forces.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Glad to meet with the Sussex Economic Development Action Committee this morning for a conversation about our shared vision for an economy that works for all of Sussex County. I look forward to working with the partners in this room for years to come

This is completely unacceptable and only further fans the flames of political violence in this country. Both sides of the aisle should come together to condemn it.

Looks like the EPA is celebrating another self-aggrandizing list. Surprising no one, it’s riddled with hyperbole and misdirection. Here are just a few lowlights:

The Department of Education’s job was never day-to-day management of classrooms, it was to protect our kids from discrimination and give every student the chance to thrive. Don’t be fooled. The impacts of their negligence will be measured in years, not weeks or months.

If Republicans don’t extend ACA tax credits and premiums double, 7 in 10 people won’t be able to afford their coverage. This is an entirely preventable crisis— it’s time for my colleagues across the aisle to act.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees. Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.

IRS Direct File won't be available next year. Here's what that means for taxpayers

The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS' electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear
