I sat down with Gloria Ho of the Delaware State Education Association to talk about what students, educators, and families are facing right now. Public education needs investment, stability, and respect—not fear and cuts. Young people deserve supportive classrooms where they can thrive.

Glad to have had the chance to meet Natalia Gatti, Delaware’s Poetry Out Loud winner, while she was in DC for the national finalists reception. I'm grateful for young people like Natalia who remind us of the power of art, expression, and using your voice. Keep making Delaware proud!

I enjoyed getting to connect with leaders from the Delaware Department of Education's CTE team to talk about how we can prepare students for careers with impact and innovation. When we invest in career and technical education, we invest in mobility and opportunity.

2/ I'm so grateful for the lifesaving work our nurses do every single day despite strained health care infrastructure and consistent attacks from this administration. Through it all, nurses continue to show up to keep our communities healthy and safe.

1/ Happy National Nurses Day! Delaware nurses are the central nervous system of our health care system—they work around the clock to ensure their patients are cared for with compassion and dignity.

I recently visited a few local businesses in downtown Smyrna, where I had the pleasure of meeting impactful and innovative neighbors who are shaping their community. During this National Small Business Week, I am celebrating the work they do to invest in and power our economy.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! I am so thankful for all of the Delaware teachers that are shaping lives every single day through their support and leadership. As a proud supporter of our state’s teachers union, I’ll continue to advocate for the pay, resources, and respect our educators deserve.

House Republicans seem to have an interesting understanding of “delivering for the American people”.

Today is Int’l Workers' Day, a time to uplift the laborers & unions who power our economy. Working Delawareans deserve an economy that reflects the work they do every single day and I will keep pushing policies that prioritize fairer wages, benefits, and better working conditions.

Today is day 60 of the president’s war with Iran and one thing is certain—it was illegal on day one and it's illegal on day 60.

I don’t swear much—but this week, Republicans in Congress are trying to leverage the actions of an attempted assassin to justify spending millions of taxpayer money on his luxurious new ballroom, while my neighbors are barely staying afloat. So, pardon my French.

A graphic with a stylized headline from The Hill newspaper that reads “Democrat on Trump’s ballroom: ‘my constituents can’t afford f—ing groceries or utility bills’” and a quote from McBride that reads “My constituents can’t afford f—ing groceries or utility bills, and he wants to spend taxpayer money on a ballroom?”

My statement on the SCOTUS Ruling in Louisiana v. Callais:

This is a shameful, partisan, and disastrous decision that effectively guts what remains of the Voting Rights Act. This Supreme Court is all too eager to fall in line with Donald Trump and the Republican Party at the direct expense of the American people.

Let’s be clear: Republicans would not be pursuing every possible pathway to gerrymander, redistrict, and suppress voters if they were confident in their policies. They are doing this because they are afraid of what happens when voters see how these policies have failed them.

This decision will have far-reaching consequences, severely weakening representation for Black communities and people of color in Congress and across the country. It undermines the core promise of our democracy — that every voice matters and every vote counts.

The Voting Rights Act is the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement. As Justice Kagan wrote in her dissent, "it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed — not the Members of this Court." She is right — and I dissent. I will continue to press for voting rights legislation that protects the power of every American’s vote.

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.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govApr 28(source)

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.

It was a pleasure to connect with so many University of Delaware alumni and current students in D.C. at the UD Alumni Fly-In! Young people are the future of our democracy so it was wonderful to speak with these emerging community leaders to discuss what it means to be a public servant.

I was grateful for the chance to spend some time with Delaware’s winner of the Congressional App Challenge, Evina Shingavi! Evina’s app, Respondify, is a digital service connecting trained volunteers to emergencies in real time, ensuring critical life-saving assistance reaches people faster.

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.
