Moments like the Artemis II mission are both scientifically significant and civically healing, but they depend on a president willing to come before Congress to make the case for space exploration—not an administration that fails to provide transparency to the American people.
It was great to connect with NeighborGood partners in DC! The Nat’l NeighborWorks Assoc is doing great work for our state of neighbors, from advocating for affordable housing to strengthening financial education resources. I’m always happy to talk about how I can help their efforts in Congress.

2/ While we’re still learning more about what happened, we must never accept a world where violence like this is common — or allow ourselves to become desensitized to it. Praying for everyone’s continued safety.

Happy National Library Week, Delaware! 📚 Libraries across the First State are vital parts of our communities—they connect us, expand opportunity, and serve as hubs of knowledge for everyone. I’m proud to support our state’s libraries and the critical role they play in strengthening our communities.

Biotech is shaping the future of health care & agriculture—so we must act to prepare the next generation to lead in this field. That's why I introduced the bipartisan Biotechnology for All High School Students Act to give students and teachers the resources they need to continue driving innovation.

I just voted—again—for a War Powers Resolution aimed at permanently ending the reckless, illegal war in Iran. Delawareans are fed up with rising costs because of this president's actions—so I will keep voting to end this war of choice at every possible turn.
On this #TaxDay, my neighbors are facing broken promise after broken promise: 65% smaller refunds than promised, spiking health care premiums, and rising costs across the board—all while billionaires get a pay day. Americans are worse off today than they were before the Big Ugly Bill became law.
