Thanks to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that I helped usher into law, President Biden is expanding comprehensive background checks and closing dangerous loopholes on firearm purchases. This is a big deal, and will save a countless number of lives.

No one should fear going to school because of bullying.

LGBTQ+ students are bullied at higher rates across our country, and on this #DayOfSilence , we recognize their strength and recommit ourselves to ending the epidemic of bullying.

As a result of #SCOTUS overturning Roe, 1 in 3 American women now live under an extreme abortion ban.

From Arizona to Alabama, we’re seeing the effects of this shameful decision. I’m hard at work with my Senate Democrats colleagues to right this historic wrong & codify Roe into law.

Special interest groups have long handpicked judges hearing their cases, resulting in attacks on reproductive freedom & environmental justice. This greatly undermines trust in our judiciary. I’m co-sponsoring the End Judge Shopping Act to end this practice.carper.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

April is #FairHousingMonth , and today marks the 56th anniversary of the enactment of the Fair Housing Act. While this law made housing discrimination illegal, we must continue to invest in enforcement, education & outreach to ensure all Americans have equitable access to housing.

The cars, trucks, and buses driven each day account for nearly 30% of our country’s emissions.

That’s why we need Federal Highway Admn’s greenhouse gas performance rule. It’s simply not possible to meet our climate goals without addressing emissions from the transportation sector.

WATCH LIVE: I’m on the Senate floor urging my colleagues to oppose a resolution that would overturn Federal Highway Admn’s greenhouse gas performance rule to reduce emissions from our transportation sector. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I’m appalled by this decision from the AZ Supreme Court, which makes critical reproductive care a crime. This extreme abortion ban was written before women were given the right to vote & before AZ was a state. There’s no question this is a direct result of SCOTUS overturning Roe.

For years, toxic forever chemicals have polluted our drinking water and threatened the health of Americans.

Today, U.S. EPA is taking a historic step to curb PFAS contamination and save lives. Bravo Zulu!

With our region’s blood supply at a critically low level, Blood Bank Delmarva has declared a blood emergency.

As a regular donor myself, I know this simple act goes a long way. Please consider becoming a donor today – you might just save a life. wmdt.com/2024/04/delmar…

Today, I had the honor of meeting Delawareans representing @AlzImpact! These folks are hard at work advocating for Alzheimer’s research and making sure that we fully fund our public health infrastructure.

The Senate is back in session, and witnessing today’s #SolarEclipse as I arrived back in D.C. was a real treat! 

No matter where you’re watching the eclipse unfold, be sure to take it all in with proper eye gear!

I am proud of the great work we are doing in Delaware to help those fighting addiction. I joined Senator Chris Coons and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester today to announce funding to help @LimenHouseInc continue their great work in Wilmington and beyond.

Delaware is yet again on the cutting edge of science!

As today’s #SolarEclipse is seen across the United States, Univ. of Delaware students are hard at work with NASA conducting research on the building blocks of the universe. Now that’s out of this world!

Two years ago today, I proudly cast my vote to confirm Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Her story is a uniquely American story, and it’s been a real honor to see her make history on our nation’s highest court.

It’s National Public Health Week! 

This week, and every week, we recognize public health workers who devote their time and energy to keeping our communities safe and healthy. Take time to thank these folks and make sure you’re vaccinated today!

The U.S. economy added 303,000 new jobs last month! That’s over 15 million new jobs since President Biden began his presidency, giving more opportunities for more Americans across the country.
