  • Trump promised the ballroom wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. That was a lie. He doesn’t care that families are struggling to pay for housing, groceries, and gas if it means he gets his ballroom.

  • 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.

  • 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. youtu.be/KM9XnXblZjk?...
