Democrats offered an amendment to simply ensure that if taxpayers spend $1 billion retrofitting a Qatari jet, it doesn't transfer to Trump after his presidency for his personal use. Republicans voted NO and blocked the amendment. This is the most corrupt administration in history. Easily.

Thanks to this administration’s chaotic economic policy, back-to-school shopping is going to be more expensive than ever this year. Here’s a look at just some of the price hikes parents will face when buying the basics this year.

Let Me Be Blunt: It’s way too expensive to rent or buy a home in this country—this week, we finally took action. The Banking Committee passed a major package of legislation to fast track new construction and give millions of Americans a place to call home. Next stop: Senate floor.

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

By claiming climate change and the pollution that causes it aren’t a threat to Americans, this administration is giving big polluters a green light to make our air and water dirtier and our communities sicker as a result. Make no mistake: this endangers all our communities.

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

For over 40 years, the Preventative Services Task Force has played a key role in keeping our communities safe and healthy. But as expected, RFK Jr. is moving to disband it. This is further proof that he’s unfit to lead HHS. We’re going to fight this.

Exclusive | RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs

The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

From veterans to new families to kids, people across America are feeling the strain of the housing affordability crisis. For the first time in over a decade, our committee just passed bipartisan legislation to increase housing supply, cut red tape, and spur innovation.

Years of painstaking work finally paid off. Democrats and Republicans alike agreed that we need to address the housing crisis in this country. Next stop: Senate floor.

The Trump administration just made it harder and more expensive to file your taxes. Who voted for that?

Direct File was an easy way for Americans to file their taxes for FREE each year. It's a no-brainer — and it's popular. So why in the world did the Trump administration kill it? To give a huge handout to giant tax prep companies like TurboTax that rip Americans off.

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

We can't stand by as Gaza starves. It is time for us to reclaim our leadership role on the global stage, expand access to humanitarian aid, and aggressively pursue a just peace. Today I joined @schiff.senate.gov in an urgent call for this administration to step up and do more.

Children are starving. Civilian deaths continue to mount. Hostages are still held. Today I led 43 of my Senate colleagues in demanding the State Department work urgently to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. This cannot continue.

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

Spending billions of taxpayer dollars to upgrade your private jet is hardly a priority. Doing it while you’re kicking millions of Americans off their health care and leaving them to starve is shameful. Even this administration knows that, so they’re trying to hide the price tag.

The administration transferred nearly $1 billion dollars to a Pentagon project to modernize nuclear weapons, but those funds will be used to renovate Trump's "flying palace."

I was proud to host the annual delegation Veterans Summit alongside @coons.senate.gov and @mcbride.house.gov this morning. It was a great opportunity to come together, learn from each other, and recommit to doing everything we can to support our courageous veterans.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 26(source)

Glad to be at The Party 5 today. This event - which brought 50 community service organizations together in Wilmington - was a great opportunity for everyone to play their part and be there for their neighbors.

No trip to the Delaware State Fair is complete without some classic fair food! Thanks to leaders from the Delaware FFA for sharing their favorites and pointing me in the right direction.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 25(source)

Kicked up some fun at the Delaware State Fair - from farms to funnel cake, the fair is the best time of the year!

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 25(source)

After meeting with some of their student leaders last week, I was so excited to join the Delaware FFA for their state fair awards breakfast this morning. Delaware is an agricultural state, and the FFA has an important role to play in our state’s success.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 24(source)

Was glad to see some of Delaware’s extraordinary student leaders to hear about their interest in politics and answer questions about the policies they’re debating at their summit here in DC! Thanks for stopping by!

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 24(source)

The EPA’s whole job is to protect the environment– it’s right there in the name. Taking away their ability to regulate emissions will make our communities less healthy and more dangerous in the name of the fossil fuel industry’s bottom line.

E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 23(source)

For years, Republicans called rebuilding roads and bridges, lowering prescription drug costs, and increasing access to food and health care ‘too expensive’. Now, their massive billionaire handout is going to kick millions off health care and make the deficit even WORSE. Cost was never the problem.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 22(source)

From fires and extreme heat to heavy rains and flooding, Delaware is among the states most threatened by the climate crisis. I met with @cclusa.org to read letters from concerned Delawareans and discuss how - together - we’ll help our communities weather what’s coming.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 22(source)

It’s no secret: for millions of Americans, a safe, affordable place to call home is drifting further and further out of reach. We need to build more homes– fast. That’s why I’m introducing another bipartisan bill to cut through red tape and help fast-track new homes.

The Accelerating Home Building Act: Creates a federal program to support pre-approved plans and designs for new housing units; Cuts red tape to fast-track local housing construction
