Thank you @SenStabenow for including my NO TIME TO Waste Act in your Farm Bill proposal! This bipartisan, bicameral legislation will reduce the nearly 119 billion pounds of food we waste each year in our country.

The Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act provides a strong, bipartisan path forward to get the Farm Bill across the finish line. It makes investments to support our farmers, helps hardworking families make ends meet & improves the quality of life in rural communities.

Artists like @FKAtwigs deserve protections from deepfakes that exploit their creativity. I look forward to working with the bipartisan cosponsors of my NO FAKES Act to introduce our bill and protect all individuals from having their identities stolen by unauthorized AI replicas.

Thank you @FKAtwigs for your testimony today about how urgent regulations are needed to protect artists from harms caused by generative AI. My bipartisan NO FAKES Act addresses the dangers of deepfakes not only the media industry, but for ordinary Americans.

I've met with Rachel and Jon several times, and her determination to see her son Hersh freed is nothing short of inspiring. I'm glad to see Hersh survived on Oct. 7, and I hope negotiations lead to his release alongside the other hostages and a ceasefire.

As many of our neighbors in the beach communities know, this flooding is not just an inconvenience, but a public safety risk that impacts so many. I’m glad to have secured this million-dollar investment to help reduce flooding along Route 1 in Dewey Beach.

I was honored to participate in @PanCAN 's PurpleStride event to end pancreatic cancer in Wilmington and blessed to have the chance to reconnect with Russ Sylvester, who tragically lost his wife, Pat, in November after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

My heart goes out to the 4 officers who were shot and killed yesterday, including a Deputy U.S. Marshal, in Charlotte. Too many officers have been killed in the line of duty due to gun violence. My prayers are with all those who were harmed. Their sacrifice will be remembered.

Recovering from sexual assault or domestic violence shouldn't be a professional handicap. That's why my letter with @SenBlumenthal & @maziehirono asking @ABAesq to examine rules requiring bar applicants in some states to disclose domestic violence or sexual assault cases is key.

The ABA should study the prevalence of bar admissions questions that require the disclosure of campus sexual misconduct complaints and requests for orders of protection, according to a letter by three members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. #ABA

Deceptive AI-generated deepfake content poses a major threat to democracy—especially during an election year. Thanks, @JoeDavidsonWP for highlighting my bill with @SenAmyKlobuchar , @HawleyMO , and @SenatorCollins , that would put rules in place to ensure that AI is used safely.

Perspective by Joe Davidson: A Senate hearing highlights the dangers of bogus, artificial intelligence materials in elections. A bill was introduced in 2023, but the urgency is now.

When there are food security problems, there are national security problems. That’s why it’s so important to keep the world fed—and as an agricultural state, Delaware has a part to play in addressing global hunger. #MidAtlanticSummit24

This is a critical moment for the world. We are either going to change how we generate and consume power – creating good-paying jobs here in Delaware in the process – and leave the planet a more habitable place for our children. Or, we’re going to cook. #MidAtlanticSummit24
