We have strong communities in Delaware that have spoken up about the needs.

Numerous congressional Republicans are now claiming that Putin is invading Ukraine now because Joe Biden is weak.

If Russia continues to advance, continues to accelerate this movement into Ukraine, this invasion, as he put it, the sanctions will continue from the U.S. and of course from Western allies as well.

a special thanks goes to you, Senator Carper, and to you, Congresswoman Blunt Rochester, for your leadership and your support

We're delighted to be your partner in all of this and other issues as well.
