I’m declaring a State of Emergency and activating every available state resource to ensure Delawareans are protected as this blizzard blankets our communities, including increased risks for coastal flooding.

My full statement on Trump's illegal tariffs ⤵️

“For nearly a year, Donald Trump imposed what amounts to a reckless, nationwide sales tax on the American people. Today, the Supreme Court affirmed what my Democratic colleagues and I have been saying all along: these tariffs were illegal, and the Constitution makes clear that only Congress—not the president—has the authority to impose them.

“In the meantime, families, farmers, and small businesses here in Delaware and across the country have paid the price. Costs have gone up. Consumers’ pocketbooks have been squeezed. The president overstepped his constitutional authority—and not even two of the justices he nominated could support that overreach. This decision is our system of checks and balances at work.

“While this ruling is welcome, I am deeply concerned about what comes next. A new 10 percent global tariff will only raise costs further and create more instability here at home and with our allies abroad. There are also serious questions about refunds for those who have borne the brunt of these tariffs and how the administration will ensure consumers—not just large corporations—will receive the refunds they’re owed.

“Tariffs can be a legitimate policy tool when used strategically and in coordination with Congress. But reckless, unilateral trade policy creates uncertainty, raises costs, and undermines our economic stability.

“Delawareans deserve trade policy rooted in stability and accountability—not chaos and overreach. And if the president truly respected the rule of law, he would accept the Court’s decision instead of searching for ways around it.”

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govFeb 20(source)

Today, SCOTUS sent a clear message to Donald Trump: he is not above the Constitution. These tariffs were illegal and a direct overreach of Congress’s authority. Working families need relief from rising costs—not reckless tariffs that drive costs even higher.

The Year of the Horse brings optimism and promise—it’s a time for new beginnings, bold action, and meaningful change. Wishing everyone in Delaware and around the world a joyful, prosperous, and healthy Lunar New Year.

Wishing a blessed and peaceful Ramadan to all who are observing in Delaware and across the globe. May this season bring you renewal, joy, and countless moments of connection with those you love. Ramadan Mubarak.

2/ Let his memory forever serve as a reminder that the power of our hope, and our action, is foundational to progress. Today, I am praying for his wife, Jacqueline, their children and grandchildren, and the many lives his work impacted.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govFeb 17(source)

1/ Reverend Jesse Jackson charged each of us to “Keep hope alive.” He organized and united working families, the voiceless, and people from every walk of life to work towards a truly more perfect union.

Presidents' Day is about celebrating leaders who put public service, the Constitution, and the American people first. Today, I'm grateful for those presidents who fulfilled those responsibilities.

When young people face a scarcity environment—where opportunity feels limited—combined with a crisis of hope, it’s exploited by far-right politicians and movements, especially through social media, who often blame women for “taking” opportunities and normalize that rhetoric online.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govFeb 15(source)

3/ My heart is with his daughter, my friend, and former colleague, Andria, and all of his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

2/ He served in the United States Air Force and called being a volunteer firefighter his passion—and that spirit of service defined his life. His love for his community, our state, and our nation should inspire us all. Delaware is stronger because of his service.

1/ I’m saddened to hear of the passing of former Rep. John Viola. He was kind, compassionate, and dedicated to his family, his colleagues, and his community—values I saw up close as an advocate.

Dignity means never having to choose between your job and your family. This week, I introduced the bipartisan Flexible Leave Act to expand access to flexible, job-protected leave that works for families in Delaware & across the country. Workers deserve flexibility—not rigid, one-size-fits-all rules.

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

2/ This doesn’t help working families. It helps big polluters. It undermines settled science, endangers public health, and gives fossil fuel companies a license to pollute. I won’t stand by while they put corporate profits over our communities.

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

1/ Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin just axed the EPA’s Endangerment Finding—and rolled back clean vehicle and power plant standards that protect our air and water.

2/ That’s why we voted to reclaim Congress’ authority so we can debate, vote on, and stop these tariffs. Costs are rising, but House Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable.

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

1/ Trump’s reckless and illegal tariffs—imposed without congressional authority—are a nationwide sales tax on the American people. Congressional Republicans have allowed him to do this. But enough is enough.

2/ At today’s House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Syria, I underscored why the U.S., alongside our NATO allies, must remain engaged in countering Russian influence to build a stable future for Syria.

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

1/ When the U.S. steps back and dismantles key foreign policy tools like USAID, we leave the door open for our adversaries to fill the void.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govFeb 10(source)

Happy birthday to the iconic @bluntrochester.senate.gov! Thank you for being such a fierce advocate for our state of neighbors. I hope today is full of the things you love—family, Delaware, and of course, Beyoncé!

Rep. McBride and Senator Blunt Rochester.
