During my time in the House, I came to know @pelosi.house.gov as a fierce leader and advocate for American families. She led our caucus during some of the America's most challenging times, from the great recession to COVID-19, championing some of the most consequential legislation in...

Johnson: Democrats have never been more afraid, at any point, than they are right now

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 5(source)

I wish this administration would focus on helping struggling Americans, but this isn't a good sign.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 5(source)

Last night, Americans across the country made it clear: they want leaders who stand up to bullies, work to bring down costs, and fight to protect their access to health care. @democrats.senate.gov are ready.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 4(source)

The administration is only sending partial SNAP payments to families, causing headaches for states and stress for recipients. Hunger is not a game. They need to obey the court and send full payments out immediately.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 3(source)

With open enrollment underway and premiums set to skyrocket, I met with health care advocates in Wilmington to discuss the impacts they're seeing in our state. We must act to end this health care crisis, reform our insurance system, and lower costs. Delawareans can't wait.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 3(source)

This morning, I heard from Reverend Fleshman what skyrocketing premiums mean for our communities These price hikes leave people with few options, and none of them are good— we need this administration to come to the table and take action to make care affordable for ALL of us.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 3(source)

After kicking millions of Americans off their insurance, Republicans are refusing to take action to prevent outrageous price hikes like this for millions more. They're making our communities sicker and poorer, and they don't even seem to care.

Delaware: your health care bill could more than double next year.

If Republicans take away health care tax credits, a similar plan will cost thousands more.

Open enrollment begins today, and folks up and down our state are about to see what Republicans’ refusal to come to the table really costs. Head to healthcare.gov to see what these skyrocketing premiums could mean for you and your family.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 31(source)

Millions of Americans are about to see their premiums double. Let’s see what the President is working on:

When open enrollment begins tomorrow, a 61-year-old in Georgetown will see a premium that’s *446% higher* than it was last year - $1,192.45 per month. With everyday costs already high, this is simply unaffordable. We cannot let this stand.

As the Trump admin. refuses to use emergency funds to help folks on SNAP, states like ours are stepping up. I just introduced legislation that would make sure states aren’t left footing the bill.

Let Me Be Blunt: congressional Republicans are about to let our friends and neighbors go hungry. 42 MILLION people are about to lose access to food assistance. It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table and help us fix this.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 30(source)

Thanks to Republicans in Washington, a 50-year-old couple in Middletown will see their premiums go up by 224% this Saturday. Are there any Delawareans who want to spend more than $1,200 extra PER MONTH for their health coverage?

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 29(source)

This administration let nearly 100 million pounds of food go to waste rather than deliver it to food banks. It’s like they WANT millions of Americans to go hungry.

Over 40 million Americans will lose food assistance in the coming days due to Republicans' government shutdown. The Trump administration has refused to release funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

The government has been shut down for 28 days. Senate Republicans:

There’s no doubt, we have important business to get to here in the Senate, but we can’t ignore the basic fact: we can’t credibly take on the issues facing our nation until Republicans come to the table and reopen the government.

Countless farmers in Delaware and across the country are suffering the consequences of this administration's recklessness. They don't need fake sympathy from a man worth half a billion dollars. They need an administration focused on putting them first.

Just this year, Republicans… -Cut funding for SNAP, and now are trying to use hungry families as political leverage -Cut funding for affordable health care, and now are trying to use higher premiums as political leverage They're playing politics with people's lives.
