11 years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed what we already knew to be true: in the land of the free, everyone should be able to marry the person they love. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we have to defend our progress and keep pushing this fight forward.

People are getting priced out of the communities they call home. Workers are forced to move further from their jobs. Families are being forced to live out of their cars. We heard your voices loud and clear, and we took action to pass the first bold housing package in decades.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.gov3d ago(source)
Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, creating chaos and uncertainty for healthcare access— leaving our communities vulnerable. No one should question their ability to get the care they need. We must restore access to reproductive care now.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.gov3d ago(source)
Good news: the ROAD to Housing Act just took a big step forward! This historic package will free up billions for affordable housing, stop private equity from buying up single-family homes, and save both time and money. You asked, we took action. Now, let's finish this!
Congress passes largest housing affordability bill in a generation | CNN Business
A landmark housing affordability bill is headed to President Donald Trump’s desk after winning overwhelming support in Congress this week, setting the stage for the most sweeping federal housing packa...

NEWS: The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years! With the median age of first-time homebuyers at a record high, our bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act would: — Build more homes — Lower housing costs — Stop Wall Street from buying up homes Next up, the House.

Republicans in Washington are forcing children to go hungry while they make you pay for Trump’s reckless war and a gold-plated ballroom. It's unacceptable.
More Than 770,000 Children Are No Longer Receiving SNAP Benefits After Trump Changes Federal Food Program
Republican backers of Trump’s signature domestic policy bill repeatedly claimed that revisions to the food benefits program wouldn’t affect the most vulnerable. But reports from a dozen states show ch...

Trump promised the ballroom wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. That was a lie. He doesn’t care that families are struggling to pay for housing, groceries, and gas if it means he gets his ballroom.
Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor’s invoices show otherwise.
An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.

The historic 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will address our nation’s housing crisis by boosting housing supply, bringing down costs, and — for the first time ever — stopping private equity from buying up homes. This bill will be the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years. Let’s get it done.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJun 17(source)
This administration keeps the chaos swirling as they fight with their own party about who should have what job. Putting egos and personal payoffs over our national security makes us all less safe.

NEWS: Trump just pulled the plug on Jay Clayton’s DNI confirmation hearing scheduled for today, delaying a vote that had bipartisan support. He says Bill Pulte will remain Acting DNI until Jamie McDonald is confirmed as U.S. Attorney for SDNY.

DACA was created to help children of immigrants build a life in the only country they’ve ever known. 14 years later, and the attacks on their safety and stability persist. To all the Dreamers, know that you belong here and we’ll never stop fighting for you.

Today marks 250 years since Delaware declared independence from Pennsylvania and the British Crown.   I had a great time celebrating at New Castle’s annual Separation Day Parade this weekend, where we reminded the world that we are - and always have been - the First State!

President Kennedy put a man on the moon. President Trump put a UFC fight on the White House lawn. I think we have a different understanding of what “achieving the impossible” looks like.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio extolled the virtues of the Ultimate Fighting Championship as being intrinsically American, likening its creation to putting the first man on the moon.
