SOON: Republicans will vote to shut down our government instead of passing something simple to prevent your premiums from SKYROCKETING. Here’s what’s going on and why you’re likely to have way higher health care costs next year:

This week, we found out just how hard Sec. Kennedy is working to undermine vaccines at the CDC. Now, his hand-picked committee is changing a science-based vaccine recommendation, making it harder for parents to keep their kids safe and healthy. Our families deserve better.

Good morning, it's a great day for Republicans to choose to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis they themselves created. No one wants a shutdown but Donald Trump. Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and keep hospitals from closing.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 18(source)

The dignity of work is essential to what it means to be an American. I know jobs. I love jobs. And I know that for Americans to find purpose in their work, we need a different approach to jobs in this country.

Honored to receive a Congressional Champion Award from the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law alongside my good friend and colleague @hoyer.house.gov. As we mark 35 years of the ADA, the work to protect and advance disability rights is absolutely vital.

You don’t have to agree with Jimmy Kimmel to be outraged by his suspension. Punishing someone for exercising free speech is what autocrats do. If you care about the freedoms this country was built on, now is the time to speak up.

ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from Trump’s FCC chair | CNN Business

Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show off the air indefinitely amid a controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

I opened my speech with a quote from the late, great Barbara Jordan, whose questions about division in our nation ring as true today as they did nearly 50 years ago. The question before us is clear: how do we rekindle Bright Hope for America?

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 17(source)

Harrowing photos like this one helped shape our nation’s story and ultimately achieve a future free from the horrors of slavery. Now, the Trump administration is trying to hide the darkest parts of our history—we can’t let that happen.

National park to remove photo of enslaved man’s scars

The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.”

The recommendation to vaccinate babies against hepatitis B nearly eliminated infections. So why is RFK Jr. letting his anti-vaccine allies put that recommendation in jeopardy? Today I asked former Director Monarez to explain how CDC recommendations help keep our kids safe.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 17(source)

Yesterday, in my Maiden Speech, I talked about Bright Hope. For me, Bright Hope is more than the church my grandmother attended— it’s a call to action, it’s what keeps me going in the darkest times. It’s a goal we set for ourselves as Americans.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 17(source)

Secretary Kennedy needs to go.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 15(source)

It shouldn't be this hard for medical professionals - people caring for our kids, sick, and elderly - to get access to vaccines that will protect them and their patients. This administration is making us sicker.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 15(source)

For parents trying to keep their kids healthy and safe, accurate and consistent information is vital. We need to continue doing all we can to ensure access to vaccines.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 13(source)

As we continue to process this dark and disturbing week, there can be no doubt: we need to come together, focused on keeping guns away from people who seek to carry out these senseless acts. The safety of our communities demands that we stay in the fight to end gun violence.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 12(source)

Delaware is the lowest state in the nation and pollution in our air has caused serious harm to our communities' health. This administration turning a blind eye to polluters won't stop rising sea levels or make our air safer to breathe. It'll only make these problems harder to fix.

E.P.A. To Stop Collecting Emissions Data From Polluters

We have a housing crisis in this country, and we need A New Way Home. Here’s a look at my 5-pillar plan to leverage new and existing policy tools to make sure everyone in our communities has a safe, affordable place to call home. For the full report: www.bluntrochester.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Let Me Be Blunt: RFK Jr should resign. This ain’t political, it’s public health.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 11(source)

Our kids can’t learn if they’re home sick. Take it from the president of the DE School Nurse Association: clear, science-based leadership is what keeps our kids in classrooms and our communities healthy.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 11(source)

Dangerous diseases don’t respect state boundaries. If, God forbid, Florida has another outbreak - of COVID, measles, or even polio - how are neighboring states supposed to protect their communities?
