It’s official—this is the longest shutdown in American history. Republicans in Congress need to come to the negotiating table and tackle the real problems Americans are facing—the cost of living, skyrocketing health care premiums, and an administration that’s focused on bathrooms and ballrooms.
If the Republican Party is truly pro-family, they would join Democrats in demanding that the Trump administration use its legal authority to fully fund SNAP benefits for the more than 42 million Americans—and over 100,000 Delawareans—who rely on them.
I’ve heard from so many Delawareans throughout this shutdown—whether they’re federal workers, health care providers, or working parents—and the message is clear: people are worried about how rising health care premiums will impact their families and neighbors. Here’s what one Delawarean had to say.
Congressional Republicans have presented a false choice: that we can only reopen the government or address the health care crisis. Democrats have said for months that we can—and we must—do both. Every day we wait, Americans pay the price.
I’m back in Washington, ready to work with my colleagues to reopen the government, protect health care, & prevent more disruptions to the programs Delawareans depend on. But after choosing to shut down the government & put SNAP benefits at risk, congressional Republicans are nowhere to be found.
Delaware’s first responders embody selflessness and sacrifice, helping to keep our communities safe each and every day. On National First Responders Day, we thank them for their public service—and recommit to ensuring they have the resources they need to do their jobs.
Republicans need to do their job—protect SNAP & keep families from going hungry. I joined my Democratic colleagues in urging USDA to use every available dollar & its full legal authority to deliver SNAP benefits in November. Our neighbors shouldn’t have to pay the price for Republicans’ dysfunction.

It was great to visit Futures First Gaming in Wilmington—where esports and digital learning are opening doors for Delaware’s youth. By combining teamwork, technology, and creativity, they’re helping young people build the STEM, digital, and leadership skills needed to succeed.

Seniors & older Delawareans deserve to age with dignity & respect. The Newark Senior Center—Delaware’s first & only National Institute of Senior Centers-accredited center—reflects that every day through care, connection, & community. I’ll keep working to ensure our neighbors have the care they need.

2/ My bipartisan National Nursing Workforce Center Act would help strengthen our nursing workforce—which is crucial as the shutdown worsens the health care crisis and leaves families struggling to access the care they deserve.
1/ Today, I brought together health care leaders from the Delaware Nurses Association to discuss the ongoing health care crisis—and to strategize how we can protect care for our neighbors while supporting nurses and providers.
