- Temporary Protected Status helped build a vibrant Haitian community in Delaware. They are our friends, neighbors, and an essential part of our agricultural workforce. This decision puts that quintessentially American story at risk.
- Last year, Trump and DOGE slashed the service that detects and responds to Screwworm. Now, these flesh-eating maggots are devastating our cattle, and USDA has no response. Trump loves to praise our farmers and ranchers, but his promises are often hollow.
- Our nation’s military has real needs, from filling munitions backlogs to protecting our troops and bases from modern drone warfare. But the administration's supplemental accomplishes few of those goals. If brought to the floor, my Democratic colleagues and I would oppose it.
- How do you know the Iran negotiations are going poorly? Because JD Vance says one thing, Iranian negotiators say another, and Trump tweets about algae in the reflecting pool.
00:00 - Overturning Roe was never the endgame for Republicans; it was the beginning. 4 years after the Dobbs ruling, abortion, contraception, IVF, and doctor-patient confidentiality are under attack. The government shouldn't tell you what to do with your body or your future. I’ll never

Trump once claimed he'd hire 'only the best people.' Instead, he and Secretary Hegseth keep purging them from the Pentagon.NEW: The Atlantic breaks that Gen. Chris “CD” Donahue is now out, following our reporting last month that his command in Europe had been downgraded. notus.org/defense/pentag…
- A little piece of the First State is headed to America 250’s official birthday cake. 🍰🇺🇸 I joined Grace Pak, owner of Duchess of Cameron, to help paint Delaware’s Fightin’ Blue Hen, which will represent our state alongside all 50 states and territories as part of the nation’s
- My office is accepting applications for Fall 2026 internships in Washington, D.C., Dover, and Wilmington. It’s a chance to serve Delawareans and learn more about public service. Apply on my website by June 30th!
- Science doesn’t care about your feelings or your politics. And yet Trump and his cronies are trying to politicize the scientific grantmaking process that is a pillar of American innovation, industry, and global leadership. This isn’t good governance. It’s Project 2025 in

The story of Ruth and Naomi is a shining example of how we should care for each other. Here’s how the Bible shows us to step up for our communities:
00:00 - This World Refugee Day is a call to action. Refugees have the right to live free from persecution and violence, and the United States should recommit to providing protection and opportunity to those who have been thoroughly vetted and are in need of refuge.
