If you don't want to hear it from Democrats, hear out Pope Leo. One cannot claim to follow Christ while casting out immigrants. One cannot claim to follow Christ while ignoring the vulnerable. One cannot claim to follow Christ while staying silent in the face of injustice.

Republicans gutted health care, cut child nutritional benefits, and exploded the debt by $30 TRILLION. And all for what? To fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Republicans can end their shutdown and all the pointless pain it’s causing at any point. Instead, they’re intent on raising your health care premiums and unleashing flight delays, missed paychecks, and chaos on Americans.

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

He can ask Leader Schumer yourself. We're all here. Their caucus is the one sitting at home. Why won't Mike Johnson bring them back?

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

While Republicans continue to avoid negotiations on reopening the government, the Senate is still voting. Last night, our ROAD to Housing Act passed out of the Senate. We need to give Americans a new way home— passing this legislation is a vital step forward.

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

Watching the Speaker of the House spread wild conspiracies is beyond disappointing— it's clear he's getting desperate. He knows that everyday Americans see that the REAL reason we're in this shutdown is his refusal to call House Republicans back to do their job.

I'm tired of hearing Republicans say they'll deal with the health care crisis they created "later." Later is TOO LATE. If Republicans could rush to give billionaires tax breaks this summer, we can save families from seeing their health care premiums more than double RIGHT NOW.

What exactly is a “Democrat program”? Medicare? Medicaid? Health insurance? 🤔

Trump: "We'll be making cuts that will be permanent. And we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you."

Letitia James successfully took Trump to court, now it’s clear he’s using the DOJ for revenge. He knows that the best way to avoid being held accountable for breaking the law is to threaten and jail the people who try. This is vengeance, not justice.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Rep. Greene and I agree on almost nothing, but she's right: people are having a hard time getting by right now, and doing nothing isn't an option.

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

Listen to what this Republican mother had to say to Speaker Johnson this morning. If he's not willing to listen to us, I hope he'll listen to the American people. Families are hurting, and Republicans have the power to put a stop to it. We're at the table. We're waiting.

Why did Republicans gut health care? To fund tax breaks for billionaires. Why’d they gut child nutrition benefits? Tax breaks for billionaires. Why’d they add $30 TRILLION to the debt? Tax breaks for billionaires!!! They’re fighting for billionaires. We’re fighting for YOU.

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer. Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.

Let Me Be Blunt: this isn’t business as usual. Republicans shut down the government and are refusing to negotiate. They’re even holding committee hearings on everything BUT their shutdown. This week, I used my time in those hearings to remind them what’s really at stake.

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

Now that Trump and his allies are back in power, they're showing us what weaponization of the federal government looks like. Using the government to harass and intimidate political rivals is absolutely unacceptable.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I'm hearing from community members and care providers alike: Delawareans can't afford Republicans' health care crisis. We need a solution—now. Katheryn is right: we cannot give up on our friends and neighbors.

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

These cruel threats do nothing to bring down the temperature, bring people back to the table, or reopen the government. The law is clear— federal workers shouldn't suffer because this administration refuses to negotiate.

Senator Chris Van Hollen

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown. This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govOct 7(source)

The letter of the law is as plain as can be—federal workers, including furloughed workers, are entitled to their backpay following a shutdown. Another baseless attempt to try and scare & intimidate workers by an administration run by crooks and cowards.
