Some days in this job are particularly awe-inspiring — like today, when I joined my colleagues at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to celebrate that on this day 250 years ago our predecessors in the Continental Congress voted that our colonies were free and independent states. Two days later, they would adopt a declaration that would proclaim certain self evident truths. We still have a long way to go before our nation fully realizes the values and rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence — that all of us are created equal. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do my small part in that work each day that I serve Delaware in Congress.

I joined the Delaware Credit Union Association in Georgetown to discuss expanding financial stability for Delawareans. I’m thankful for our local credit union leaders who are advocating for affordable housing and fair economic opportunities.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is feeding a dictator Squash Velouté and Sesame Crusted Sea Bass.

Survivors deserve access to care without barriers across our state. That is why I’m proud to have secured $2.6 million in federal funding to establish Family Justice Centers — which will offer critical services for survivors all in one place.

Attention Delaware! If you’re seeking a nomination to our country’s prestigious service academies, our office is now taking applications. It is my honor to support students in their efforts to serve our nation in uniform. For more information, go to mcbride.house.gov.

I toured the New Castle facility of Hatching Time; an innovative, one-stop shop for chicken supplies and at-home poultry raising equipment. With small businesses making up 98% of all Delaware businesses, I’m grateful for companies like Hatching Time who play an important role in driving our local economy, and I will keep working to make sure they are supported and have the tools they need to succeed.

I wish all those in Delaware and beyond a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast, and may it bring peace and renewal for you and your loved ones. G’mar chatima tova.

I got to tour Nemours Children’s Health in Wilmington, where I heard directly from Delaware frontline providers on federal policy decisions impacting their services and pediatric research. I’m grateful to the Nemours team for all they continue to do for families in our community, and I’m proud to work alongside them to improve access to reliable healthcare.

Instead of banning news outlets that report on his ineffective and corrupt presidency, perhaps Donald Trump should focus on being more effective, less corrupt, and maybe even following the First Amendment.

Happy 79th birthday to the United States Air Force! Here in Delaware, Dover Air Force Base is a pillar of our state and powerful symbol of both the weight of sacrifice and the courage of service. Today and always, may God bless our troops and the United States of America.

Diesel prices in Delaware just reached the highest recorded average in history--fire Trump!

My friend @Rep_McBride and I are constantly hearing from our constituents about the cost of living. We have bills that would do something about it. But GOP leadership is sending us home early because they want to avoid bipartisan accountability for Pete Hegseth. It's shameful.

This year's rates for the Delaware Health Insurance Marketplace have increased, on average, by double digit percentages, rate hikes that will make coverage much harder to access and afford. President Trump and Congressional Republicans chose to push through their Big Ugly Bill and pass the single greatest evisceration of the American healthcare system in history and allow the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits to expire — putting healthcare coverage further out of reach, less affordable, and inaccessible for my neighbors. In Congress, I am fighting to restore these critical tax credits, reverse the dangerous cuts to healthcare, and ensure my neighbors can access quality healthcare.

This is a clear rebuke of this president's reckless handling of the economy, which has driven up inflation and done nothing to address the affordability crisis facing working families in Delaware and everywhere.

I was honored to join colleagues, partners, and labor leaders from across local, state, and federal leadership to celebrate the official groundbreaking of the Delaware Container Terminal at the Port of Wilmington. The funding for this exciting next chapter — partly secured by our Congressional Delegation, past and present — represents an investment in economic opportunity for our neighbors, stronger supply chains, and the capacity of Delaware to continue leading in international commerce. Both in this project and others, I will keep working to ensure access to good-paying, union jobs and to the protection of surrounding communities.

PabloReports: Donald Trump has said we are in a golden age. Do you agree? McBride: We’re in a tacky-ass gilded phase with Trump. Costs are up. The rich are getting richer, and everyone else has been left behind. This isn’t a golden age anywhere but his bathroom and the colonnade to the Oval Office. It’s tacky and disgusting, and it’s leaving everyone else behind.

Donald Trump started a war that has cost taxpayers more than $40 billion while my neighbors in Delaware struggle to afford everything from groceries and gas to health care and housing. Today, for the sixth time, the House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to rein in the president’s illegal actions — actions that have cost lives & driven up prices.

During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the Hispanic communities in Delaware and around the country. Even in the face of unprecedented adversity and attacks, Hispanic Americans' powerful contributions and rich culture continue to shape our country for the better. This month, and every month, we celebrate the resilience, strength, and impactful role of Latino and Hispanic communities everywhere.

AI presents potentially the biggest change for humanity since human beings went from nomadic creatures to stationary, community-based societies.  Whether you think AI will be a fountain of youth or a doomsday technology or something in between, its power - both present and potential - is indisputable.  Its capacity to cure diseases or produce bioweapons, to protect against the most advanced cyberattacks or hack the most robust technological fortresses, to foster shared prosperity for the many or to amass unimaginable wealth for the few, are each different sides of the same coin: significant capacity that can lead to superhuman power.  No concentration of such power - whether it be in an individual, a company, a nation, or a technology - can be allowed to go unchecked or unrestrained. And it certainly cannot go unregulated.  Since I entered Congress, I’ve been calling on my colleagues to meet this moment and to marshal our collective power to regulate AI. It’s why, as a member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I’m pushing for regulations domestically and, as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I’ve argued for an “arms control” approach to AI globally. We need human-centric laws that protect our economy, our finances, our privacy, our health, our democracy, and, yes, our existence. We need national and international action. We need it now.  For AI to have any good, we must protect against its harm. And the clock is ticking. As we’ve seen with other technologies, the longer we wait, the harder it becomes. We cannot feel too much urgency. We cannot be too imaginative. There is simply no realistic risk in today’s politics that we do too much. The risk is that we do too little – and that is a risk that is simply too great to bear. Whistleblowers are warning us. AI CEOs are requesting it. And the people are demanding it. Congress should not leave until we’ve fulfilled our responsibility to our constituents and to humanity. Future generations expect nothing less.

Shana Tova to everyone celebrating in Delaware and across the country! May the new year be sweet, peaceful, and full of joy.

Today marks 25 years since the September 11th attacks, the single deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in our nation's history. As we reflect on the horror of that day two and half decades ago, I remain inspired by the heroes who risked everything, gave their lives, and summoned extraordinary courage to save lives in the face of — and in the wake of — tragedy.
