Grateful for the incredible team behind HB 71 — leaders who turned tragedy into action. Rep. Kerri Evelyn Harris led the charge, with Dave Baylor, Dr. Victoir Cahoon, Greer Firestone, Dr. Sean Connolly, and Todd Herremans all helping make Delaware’s student-athletes safer. ❤️

Friday night lights at Dover High’s homecoming ⚡️

Last night. we were not just cheering for our student-athletes — we were protecting them. I signed HB 71 to ensure:

🏈 Coaches are trained in CPR & first aid
🏈 AEDs are tested & ready at every game

The Trump Administration’s shutdown is real and it’s painful.

In Delaware, we’re focused on people by doing everything possible to lessen the impact, keep services steady, and connect families to support.

Shutdowns don’t fix problems. Leaders do.

I hope you’ll join me in wishing my husband, Governor @mattmeyerde.bsky.social, a very Happy Birthday. 💙🎉🥳

Matt wears a lot of hats: dad, husband, teacher, governor, and somehow gives his all to every one of them. He leads with integrity and heart, and I couldn’t be prouder.

We finally got a response to our healthcare letter from the White House.

This healthcare crisis is serious. The president is not.

Sara Jacobs @sarajacobsca.bsky.social · 12d

“Go fuck yourself” – the actual White House response to Democrats fighting to lower your health care costs. Just wow.
www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Screenshot of article: Democrats are demanding Republicans negotiate a bipartisan stopgap spending measure. Among their asks is for the GOP to extend certain Affordable Care Act subsidies, which were expanded by Congress in 2021 and are due to sunset at the end of the year.
President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed Democrats for making “unserious and ridiculous” demands, foreshadowing what is likely to be the go-to talking point should neither side blink ahead of the Tuesday night deadline.
“He read all the shit they’re asking for, and he said, ‘on second thought, go fuck yourself,’” the White House official said.
