Your health care decisions should be between you and your doctor—you don't need politicians getting in the way. I'll always be on the side of protecting reproductive freedom for every American.

Climate change is making flooding more dangerous in many parts of the nation, including Delaware. As more communities become prone to climate disasters, we must prioritize building flood-resistant infrastructure.

When unions are strong, America is strong. Thanks to the most pro-union administration in history, petitions for union representation have doubled, empowering working Americans and strengthening our economy.

Children are dying from hunger across Africa—but the food crisis is solvable. By funding @UNICEF and other critical organizations, the US can make a life-saving difference for millions and help shore up food security on the continent.

This #NationalWildlifeRefugeWeek , let's celebrate and protect our nation's unique wild spaces. I’ll always support and treasure Delaware’s Bombay Hook and Prime Hook, which are critical habitats for migratory birds like the Red Knot.

Puppy mills are cruel and inhumane—that's why we need to pass Goldie's Act to ensure @USDA holds those in charge of these operations accountable and puts a stop to the cruelty and neglect of innocent animals.

Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 attacks, had the blood of Americans, Israelis, and Palestinians on his hands. With his killing today, justice has been done. Sinwar was more than a terrorist—he was an impediment to peace across the region, and I am hopeful that his

The Social Security Fairness Act will boost retirement benefits for police, firefighters, educators, and many more who have devoted their lives to public service. Congress should act to ensure the financial security of our nation's public servants.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a bill to tackle the problem of fake celebrity endorsements? There is. It's my bipartisan NO FAKES Act.

I had a great time visiting M. Davis and Sons, Inc., a fifth-generation manufacturing company in Newark! M. Davis isn't just creating good-paying manufacturing jobs in Delaware—it's producing vital equipment that strengthens our national security.

Deepfakes featuring real people are increasingly being used to spread misinformation. Read my new @USnews op-ed about how my bipartisan NO FAKES bill can help stop this practice—hopefully before your local TV anchor ends up in a fake video.

Ethel Kennedy was both devoted to her family and played a central role over decades in our nation’s political history. When I had the blessing of meeting her, I was struck by how funny and warm, spunky and engaging she was—a woman dedicated not just to her family, but to serving

Ending DACA won’t improve American border security—it would destabilize our nation and tear families apart. I will always fight to #DefendDACA against cruel attempts to destroy it in court like what we're seeing in the 5th Circuit today.

Ending the DACA program would be cruel — plain and simple. I'll always fight to #ProtectDreamers and #ProtectDACA so undocumented young people have a pathway to citizenship and permanent status in the only homeland they know.

Horses should not be slaughtered for any sort of consumption. We need to pass the bipartisan Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act to end this brutal and dangerous practice.
