As we continue to monitor the situation in Dallas, my prayers are with the victims, families, and first responders affected by this tragedy.
We should not - and cannot - be a nation in which scores are settled with shootings and those we disagree with are targets for violence.

Was glad to visit one of KenCrest’s community homes for Delawareans with disabilities in Bear.
I commend everyone here for the work they do providing their residents with the independence and security they deserve.

Try as he might to pin this on Democrats, the American people know better. President Trump wants a shutdown.
My office is Delawareans’ gateway to many of the public services they rely on.
Today, I was proud to help connect our communities with these services at my Third Annual Constituent Resource Fair.
Thanks to everyone who came out and made this event such a success!

Your Big Ugly Bill imposed the largest cuts to health care in U.S. history, including over $900 billion in Medicaid cuts. Rural hospitals are already shutting down and reducing services as a result.
Tell Trump to stop hiding behind Truth Social and sit down with Democrats.

Health care prices are going to skyrocket this November because of President Trump. I’m not going to just lay down and take that.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
Health care. We want families to have health care.
When Trump rants about how "unreasonable" this is, remember that he decimated Medicaid—
To gift-wrap tax cuts for his Mar-a-Lago pals.
And instead of helping us fix the crisis he created, Trump is shutting down the government.
Up and down our state, I'm hearing from people and organizations alike who are worried about the impact of Republicans' health care cuts.
@democrats.senate.gov
aren't going to stand by while this administration makes people sicker and poorer.
Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it.
Republicans blocked that bill and left town.
If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.
From bullying networks to threatening reporters who report anything beyond talking points, the Trump administration is undermining the First Amendment.
We must stand up for journalists and their vital role in protecting against corruption and abuse.

As a landlord, Trump was sued for racial housing discrimination. As president, he’s working to dismantle fair housing laws that protect working families and communities of color. Safe, affordable housing should not be a privilege—it is a human right
Shana Tova to everyone in Delaware celebrating Rosh Hashanah!
Wishing you a new year full of good health, happiness, and plenty of time spent with loved ones.

It's the first day of fall, and Trump is celebrating by taxing YOUR morning cup of coffee by an average of almost 15%.
Leaves might be falling, but thanks to this reckless trade war, coffee prices are rising. It's time Republicans join Democrats to END these idiotic tariffs.
Peace.
It’s something we all need right now.
We need to champion policies that help folks find peace on a personal level—the kind of peace that comes with a steady job and a place to call home.
It’s alarming that in the same weekend the president says he ‘hates’ his political opponents, we also learned he's trying to use the DOJ to baselessly prosecute them.
This is an outrageous abuse of power- we need a president who serves us all, not just his supporters.
Proud to join the annual AIDS Walk in Wilmington, hosted by AIDS Delaware and the Delaware HIV Consortium.
We have made so much progress against this disease but there is so much more work to be done.
Progress Doesn’t Pause, and Neither Can We.
Today, I was proud to vote for a bill that would fund the government AND address the health care crisis created by President Trump and his allies in Congress.
My full statement on the ongoing government funding negotiations:
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
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.
JUST IN: Vaccine advisers to the CDC have voted to recommended against using the combined measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox vaccine for children under 4. https://cnn.it/3K73pNn

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.
