250 years ago, Delaware declared independence from both the British Crown and Pennsylvania. It also serves as a reminder that democracy has no kings. Excited to celebrate this historic day with my fellow Delawareans at the Separation Day Parade in New Castle.

Climate change doesn’t just have costs for the planet, it has costs for our families.
We must act now before it’s too late.
A new study finds that 67% of American voters said they think global warming is affecting the cost of living in the United States, while 64% said it is affecting their own cost of living

The role of Secretary of Health and Human Services is to advise on public health matters NOT further your own agenda.
Secretary Kennedy continues to prove he’s not in it for us. He’s in it to push his own misinformed policies.

250 years ago, our founders took a risk and I’m sure what we’ve built is beyond what they imagined.
I'm thrilled to be a part Netflix’s “The American Experiment,” and share our nation’s history at such a pivotal moment— I can’t wait for you to see it.

These are your tax dollars hard at work. Are you happy with how he's spending them?
The Reflecting Pool on the National Mall has been refilled following President Trump’s renovations.
The project ultimately took six weeks and cost more than $10 million, far more than Trump initially projected. wapo.st/4uspV4H

This is insane.
Last month, families saw the largest jump in prices since 2023, and Trump's only response is: "I love it."

You've been paying into Social Security your entire life.
You deserve the peace of mind of knowing it'll be there when you retire, but Republicans in Congress are standing in the way.
Social Security is on track to become insolvent by the end of 2032, putting benefits at risk of a 22% cut. cbsn.ws/4umfAHh

Regardless of how hard our communities work we can’t get ahead.
We need a leader committed to solving the problem but we’ve been left with one who just keeps making more.

Inflation is the highest it’s been in 3 years, families everywhere are struggling.
Here’s what the President has to say about it:
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

First Trump’s tariffs raised prices, now his unauthorized war is causing energy prices to soar.
It's clear Republicans in Washington don't care about the strain they are putting on Americans’ wallets.

Let's be clear about what happened: DOGE cut the programs and staff that tracked dangerous outbreaks like screwworm.
So this has nothing to do with Joe Biden, but Trump and DOGE definitely screwed our cattle industry.

Nearly 70,000 Coloradans rely on insulin to stay alive.
No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for life-saving medication. We took the first step in capping insulin costs at $35/month with our Inflation Reduction Act. Now, it’s time to do it for EVERYONE.
Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.
I’m thrilled that @SenJoniErnst, @SenatorHick, @SenKevinCramer and @Sen_Alsobrooks have signed onto our bipartisan bill to cap the monthly cost of insulin at $35.
There’s real momentum behind this commonsense plan that Americans overwhelmingly support–let's get it done.

Our bipartisan INSULIN Act that would cap monthly insulin costs at $35 has the support of 22 senators, equally divided between both parties.
It continues to pick up momentum because no one should go broke trying to access lifesaving medicine.

This administration is overseeing one of the deadliest periods ever for ICE and its detention centers.
These abuses must stop. ICE must be held accountable.
A Georgian immigrant who officials said died last week in Immigrant and Customs Enforcement custody is the 50th person to die in ICE detention during the second Trump administration. abcnews.link/IJyzgVD

The Administration that got us into a reckless war which has killed 13 Americans and made everything more expensive, is now asking the public to “trust” in Trump.
They’re as delusional as they are incompetent.

Mifepristone is a lifesaving medication that's been safely used in the US for over 20 years.
The study isn’t about science.
It is another attempt by this administration to criminalize necessary healthcare and restrict reproductive rights.

Exclusive: The FDA has launched a safety study of the abortion pill, also known as mifepristone, a step that could pave the way for the Trump administration to restrict how it is distributed and used on.wsj.com/4ui1mXY

President Trump just told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he didn't guarantee no new wars during the 2024 campaign.
MS NOW's @RiegerReport shows it was actually something that Trump repeatedly guaranteed.

We're 100 days into an unauthorized, unwanted war, and there's no end in sight.
For someone who “calls the shots,” President Trump can’t get this under control.

Why should he get handouts while our teachers, nurses, and firefighters struggle to get by?
It's not just unfair, it's outrageous.
Elon Musk is on his way to becoming the world’s first trillionaire. That’s someone who has assets valued at $1,000,000,000,000 or more, to view it in terms of zeroes. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ipo…
