Wishing a very happy birthday to President Joe Biden, one of the greatest public servants Delaware has ever known!

The Department of Education’s job was never day-to-day management of classrooms, it was to protect our kids from discrimination and give every student the chance to thrive. Don’t be fooled. The impacts of their negligence will be measured in years, not weeks or months.

If Republicans don’t extend ACA tax credits and premiums double, 7 in 10 people won’t be able to afford their coverage. This is an entirely preventable crisis— it’s time for my colleagues across the aisle to act.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees. Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.

IRS Direct File won't be available next year. Here's what that means for taxpayers

The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS' electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear

The White House may have a new gilded ballroom and a new marble bathroom, but hardworking Americans are struggling to afford housing. It's time for the federal government to get off the sidelines when it comes to solving our housing crisis.

New foreclosures jump 20% in October, a sign of more distress in the housing market

All phases of the foreclosure process are seeing big increases, as homeowners fall behind on mortgage payments due to stress in the economy.

It’s clear President Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is more than he wants us to know. The answer is simple: release the Epstein files. The American people deserve answers.

I’m more focused than ever on holding Republicans accountable for the health care crisis they created. They have 2 months to keep costs down for millions of Americans. If they don't, the American people will know who’s responsible.

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

I didn’t vote for this deal. But where do we go from here? I know there are House members from both parties who want to keep our health care crisis from getting worse. It’s on Speaker Johnson to hold a vote, restore these tax credits, and bring down costs.

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

A 50-year mortgage just shows how shortsighted this administration is. For a slightly lower monthly payment, you end up paying WAY more interest in the long term. We need to pass real solutions to bring down housing costs- not just move costs around to benefit big banks.

May we all take today as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude to those who have served in uniform to defend our country. Wishing everyone a meaningful and blessed Veterans Day this year.

Let Me Be Blunt: promises won’t bring premiums down. The government funding deal that just passed the Senate simply isn’t good enough. But this fight isn’t over.

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

My full statement on the continuing resolution to end the government shutdown:

“I’m pleased our military service members, federal workers, air traffic controllers, TSA agents, and dedicated civil servants would now be made whole, and those laid off would regain their employment. This bill also includes significant investments to SNAP, which thousands of Delawareans rely on. Additionally, there will be reimbursements for states like Delaware that filled the funding gap throughout the shutdown, consistent with my legislation - the SNAP BACK Act.

“While I’m ultimately disappointed in this deal, I’m more focused than ever on holding Republicans accountable to their commitment to fix the health care crisis they created. Donald Trump is now responsible for two of the longest shutdowns in American history, further illustrating his inability to effectively govern. History will show that Republicans were willing to let Americans go hungry during this shutdown. They chose to prioritize tax breaks for their billionaire donors over tax credits for the American people’s health care. I will continue to use every remaining tool at my disposal to ensure my constituents receive the affordable care they deserve.”

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 9(source)

The president is willing to try everything - including unproven strategies that undercut Americans’ bargaining power - to avoid extending tax credits that we KNOW will bring premiums down. It’s time for Republicans to get serious about addressing this health care crisis.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 9(source)

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods. But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap. That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 8(source)

It's unbelievable how hard this administration is fighting to keep millions of Americans hungry.

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Today's Democratic proposal reopens the government, provides immediate relief to millions of Americans whose health care premiums are about to skyrocket, and creates a pathway towards a long-term solution for the tax credits that are critical to health care affordability.

Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.socialNov 7(source)

It’s unbelievable that we’re in the longest shutdown in HISTORY… and Donald Trump is still too scared of Democrats to work out a deal and prevent huge premium increases for millions.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 7(source)

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes. We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 7(source)

People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further. They thought Trump's 'Golden Age' meant affordable gold plans, but all they got was an outrageous golden ballroom.
