We’re fighting Republicans’ big, bad budget for people: People who say ‘my energy costs are too high’– this bill raises costs People who say ‘I need my job’– this cuts millions of jobs People who say ‘I love my kids’– this puts their future at risk We need to kill this bill.

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

Was excited to stop by yesterday with leadership from @marchofdimes.org, including the new President and CEO, Cindy Rahman. I look forward to working together to create a lasting, positive impact on the health of moms and babies everywhere.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJun 10(source)

As this administration continues to stoke fear and chaos around the country, don’t forget: if this big bad budget passes, millions of people lose health care and will go without food so the richest people in America can get another major tax break.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJun 10(source)

From firing on reporters to detaining them on-air, we’re seeing new levels of intimidation leveled at members of the press trying to hold this administration to account. It’s totally unacceptable.

As the situation in California continues to develop, we’re seeing yet another example of this administration overstepping its authority, creating chaos, and suppressing opposition. This is no way to lead a country.

For months, I’ve been pressing RFK Jr to restore our vaccine approval process after he delayed and obstructed this key body. He never responded. Now, he’s dismissed every member without cause. This is a dangerous and thoughtless decision with our communities’ health on the line.

The last time the President tried to enforce his discriminatory travel ban, I was against it— today is no different. These bans do nothing for the safety of American families, they only continue to stoke fear and mass disruption. This order should be reversed immediately.

Excited to help celebrate the opening of the Early Childhood Innovation Center and Early Childhood Lab School @delstateuniv.bsky.social. Thanks to major federal investments, these facilities will help strengthen early childhood education in Delaware for years to come.

Proud to join Delaware Building Trades for their 2025 Apprenticeship Banquet - an event celebrating hard work, dedication, and achievement. Congratulations, apprentices!

It’s my honor to nominate Delaware students to our nation's prestigious service academies every year. Grateful to join @coons.senate.gov and @mcbride.house.gov at our annual delegation Service Academy Night last night.

In June 1776, Delaware declared independence not only from the British but also from Pennsylvania - and we haven’t looked back since. Happy Separation Day, Delaware!

Take it from the people administering these programs every day. Cuts to SNAP aren’t about eliminating waste, fraud, or abuse. They’re about abandoning families who need help the most to give a massive tax break to those who need it least.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJun 6(source)

This is the story with this administration – they can say the right things all they want. At the end of the day, the actions they take tell a different story. Our students deserve leaders who work to make sure everyone has equal access to learning.

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

SNAP is about giving families the tools they need to succeed – I know, because one of those families was mine. I’ll never stop pushing back against Republican cuts to programs like this one so families across this country get the same chance I did.

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

These efforts to erase our histories and relegate civil rights history-makers are despicable. Try as they might, we’re not going back.

Navy set to rename USNS Harvey Milk, mulls new names for other ships named for civil rights leaders

U.S. Navy is renaming a ship named for gay rights leader Harvey Milk and considering new names for others named for prominent Americans.

I was glad to welcome Alexis McGill Johnson from @ppfa.org to my office to talk about how we can work together to thwart Republicans’ backdoor abortion bans. They’re trying to use their budget to go after reproductive care in states with protections, but we won’t stand by and let it happen.

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

This assumption that people on Medicaid don’t want to work is just wrong. For folks like my constituent Emmanuel, Medicaid is the lifeline they need to get and hold a job. The best health care is health care.

Every year @coons.senate.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and I have the honor of nominating outstanding Delaware students to our nation’s service academies. Come join us in Dover on Friday to meet representatives of these prestigious institutions and learn more about the application process.

I am shocked and saddened by this act of hate in Boulder, Colorado. I’m praying for all those affected. As the investigation continues, we must all stand together in strongly condemning hate and antisemitism.
