Trans people deserve to be visible today, and everyday. It is easy to feel hopeless, especially when your identity is being scrutinized daily. But despair is the goal. On this TDOV, I want to encourage all of us to harness the power of hope and optimism; this is not how our story ends.
Amtrak is part of the beating heart of Wilmington—connecting Delawareans to communities across the Northeast and keeping our economy moving. I am proud to work with a bipartisan group of colleagues for investments in passenger rail infrastructure to improve affordability, reliability, and safety.
Instead of having the House vote on a bipartisan deal to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard that had been unanimously passed by the Senate, House Republicans instead put forward a bill that would prolong this shutdown and give Donald Trump and ICE a blank check with no accountability. I voted no.
2/ Republicans in Congress are so extreme that they want to reject a bipartisan deal and deprive people of their paychecks, subject travelers to delays, and prolong this shutdown—all to give ICE a blank check.
1/ House Republicans have chosen to extend the government shutdown and withhold paychecks from TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Last night, the Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill to fund every part of DHS—except ICE and CBP—the same approach Democrats have been putting forward for weeks.
2/ I was lucky to hear from Delaware leaders in Smyrna about the legacy of women's civic engagement and how we can work to maintain access to the ballot box for all women, especially in the face of attempts to undermine that access.
2/ If countries are concerned that international rules and territorial integrity no longer matter, as the United States has exhibited in Iran, then the only way to protect yourself is with the absolute strength that nuclear weapons provide.
1/ In a @houseforeign.bsky.social hearing, I pressed the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security at the State Department about how the war in Iran stands to erode our global order and drive nuclear proliferation everywhere.
Encouraging active participation in our democracy is essential for our future. That's why I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with Mikva Challenge students from New Castle County—a program that encourages these incredible students to use their voices for advocacy and change.

When you force working families to pay more out of pocket for basic health care, that is a tax—a tax on getting sick and a tax on staying alive. As we mark the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act becoming law, that is the reality facing my neighbors and Americans everywhere.
At the Youth Environmental Summit, I joined hundreds of Delaware students leading on climate. They’re organizing and advancing real solutions to protect our air, land, and water. Sustainability isn’t partisan—and I’m committed to ensuring federal policy matches their ambition.

I will always stand with working people. It’s why I was proud to again meet with representatives from LiUNA to discuss how we can improve working conditions for hundreds of public employees and union members in Delaware.

3/ My colleagues and I will keep working to restore this critical care, because government should be making life easier to afford and ensuring you have access to the care you need—not gutting care infrastructure to give tax breaks to billionaires.
2/ Congressional Republicans have done absolutely nothing to help ensure our neighbors have access affordable health care and instead have delivered the largest evisceration of health care in modern history.
1/ 16 years ago today, the Affordable Care Act became the law of the land. However, in the last year alone, over 1 million Americans have lost access to their health care and millions more are facing a loss in coverage due to skyrocketing costs.
