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.

On Yom HaShoah, we honor the memory of the millions of innocent Jewish people murdered during the Nazi regime. Today and every day, we must stand unequivocally against antisemitism in all forms to ensure that Never Again is more than just a phrase, but a promise we make to our Jewish neighbors.
