I’d rather Sec. Duffy try to focus on keeping planes in the air and on time.
Maybe that’s just me.

Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

This morning, I met with the Delaware State FOP to discuss issues affecting law enforcement here in Delaware and across the nation.
I’m grateful to our state’s brave, dedicated officers and I’ll do everything I can to support their work to keep our communities safe.

Glad to tour the BrightBloom Center at Nylon Capital Shopping Center in Seaford.
Geared toward children with autism and other special needs, this place is a wellspring of learning and enrichment.
Thank you to the staff for telling us about the amazing work they do!

Nylon Capital Shopping Center used to be a regional landmark, but it has fallen by the wayside in recent years. Now, it’s coming back.
Thanks to an incredible vision, and $20M from the American Rescue Plan Act, we're on the verge a new era here in Seaford!

Earlier this year, Michael, a Veteran, reached out to my team about getting his honorable discharge certificate. While working to help him, we learned he was also entitled to an award!
I was so proud to welcome him to our office, present his awards, and thank him for his service.

Nooses are symbols of hate. Swastikas – the literal symbol of the Nazi Party, the perpetrators of the Holocaust – are symbols of hate. This isn’t controversial.
This isn’t how you recruit upstanding Americans into our armed forces.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

This is completely unacceptable and only further fans the flames of political violence in this country.
Both sides of the aisle should come together to condemn it.

Looks like the EPA is celebrating another self-aggrandizing list. Surprising no one, it’s riddled with hyperbole and misdirection.

The Department of Education’s job was never day-to-day management of classrooms, it was to protect our kids from discrimination and give every student the chance to thrive.
Don’t be fooled. The impacts of their negligence will be measured in years, not weeks or months.

If Republicans don’t extend ACA tax credits and premiums double, 7 in 10 people won’t be able to afford their coverage.
This is an entirely preventable crisis— it’s time for my colleagues across the aisle to act.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees.
Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.

It’s clear President Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is more than he wants us to know.
The answer is simple: release the Epstein files. The American people deserve answers.

I’m more focused than ever on holding Republicans accountable for the health care crisis they created.
They have 2 months to keep costs down for millions of Americans.
If they don't, the American people will know who’s responsible.

I didn’t vote for this deal. But where do we go from here?
I know there are House members from both parties who want to keep our health care crisis from getting worse.
It’s on Speaker Johnson to hold a vote, restore these tax credits, and bring down costs.

A 50-year mortgage just shows how shortsighted this administration is.
For a slightly lower monthly payment, you end up paying WAY more interest in the long term.
We need to pass real solutions to bring down housing costs- not just move costs around to benefit big banks.

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods.
But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.
