Today's vote to pass the ADVANCE Act in the House is a sign of the continued strong, bipartisan support in Congress for bolstering our nation's carbon-free nuclear energy technologies. It's time to get the ADVANCE Act to the president's desk.

The Port of Wilmington and the Edgemoor terminal expansion will fuel considerable economic growth, including good-paying jobs, for Delaware and our region. Today, I joined @ChrisCoons and @RepLBR in applauding the latest steps in our Port’s growth.

Great news, folks: Last month, more than 175,000 jobs were created across the country.  I’m proud of my work with @POTUS and @SenateDems to build opportunities in communities nationwide.

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, more than 10 million seniors have received a free vaccine. It’s clear the #IRA is reducing costs & improving public health. That’s what I call a win-win. I’m proud of my work with @SenateDems to have gotten this bill across the finish line.

It was great to join local business and community leaders at tonight’s @NCC_Chamber Annual Dinner, and an honor to receive their Lifetime Achievement Award! Though I’m an optimist by nature, there really is a lot to celebrate, both in New Castle County and across the country.

Complete and accurate emissions data will be crucial to the success of the Methane Emissions Reduction Program. Today's announcement from @EPA strengthens, updates and expands existing reporting requirements to help us continue reining in super-polluting methane. Bravo Zulu! 👏

Today, I met with the hard-working team led by Director Potluri at @WilmingtonVAMC . Thanks to their new Da Vinci Robot System and incoming dialysis unit, I’m glad to see the medical center is able to offer better care for our veterans.

Today on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and mourn the millions of lives lost at the hands of the Nazi regime.  #YomHaShoah is a critical reminder of the importance of continuing to fight antisemitism, bigotry, and hate in every form across the world.

One of my favorite Delaware traditions — now in its 91st year — is Old Dover Days! Today we joined together to celebrate why Delaware is called The First State.

Driving down emissions is critical for our planet and public health — especially for vulnerable Americans like those with asthma. Fortunately, we're doing something about that! @EPA 's new rules to reduce vehicle emissions will help folks across our country breathe easier.

No one should live in an environment that puts them at risk of lead poisoning. I'm glad to join @HUDgov today to announce funding that will help to reduce dangerous materials like lead-based paint in our communities, while creating 50 jobs to tackle these health hazards head on.

Great news, Delaware! Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, @EPA is providing over $28 million to replace and identify toxic lead pipes up and down our state. This funding will help ensure Delawareans have safe, clean water in their homes, businesses, and more. 🙌
