Communities across the country are facing a housing affordability crisis— we need to take action. That's why last week, I released the blueprint for A New Way Home – to help people everywhere find safe, affordable places to call home. Let's get to work.
Blunt Rochester unveils ‘a new way home’ agenda
U.S. Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester outlined her extensive agenda on housing policy reform in hopes to change the future for millions of residents.

Nothing about kicking millions off their health insurance, supercharging vaccine skepticism, or letting care costs skyrocket is ‘making America healthy again’. This administration has been a disaster for our nation’s health, and RFK Jr has been at the head. He needs to resign.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 8(source)
We shouldn’t accept that this administration can profile people who look a certain way, talk a certain way, or work a certain job as criminals. That presumption of guilt is fundamentally un-American. We can't stand idly by in the face of this blatant attack on our civil rights.
Supreme Court lifts restrictions on Trump immigration tactics in California
The Supreme Court lifted restrictions against aggressive immigration enforcement tactics by federal agents in central California that had been challenged by critics.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 5(source)
When BLS reported how bad this administration’s economy is, trump fired the commissioner. Now, as another weak jobs report looms, there are “technical difficulties” with the BLS site that publishes job data. This admin can’t hide from their record, no matter how hard they try.
BLS Flags ‘Technical Difficulties’ Ahead of August Jobs Report
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says it is experiencing “technical difficulties” ahead of the August employment report.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 4(source)
Americans rely on a strong economy, and the success of our economy relies on an independent Federal Reserve. In the 111-year history of the Federal Reserve, no President has ever tried to undermine its independence as brazenly as this one.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 4(source)
@warnock.senate.gov is right - In addition to RFK Jr's lack of credentials, his agenda is a threat to the health of the American people.   It's time for Secretary Kennedy to resign.

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 3(source)
The Trump administration promised to bring down costs for everyday Americans, but day after day we see costs continue to rise. They continue to prove they’re not looking out for everyday Americans, only their billionaire friends and donors.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 2(source)
When congressional Republicans and the Trump administration forced through the largest health care cuts in history, they put hospitals up and down our state at risk. They were so desperate to give rich people tax cuts, they made it harder for Americans everywhere to get care.
From: Hospital Crisis Watch @HospitalsCrisis HOSPITAL CRISIS UPDATE: Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, Delaware status changed to Cuts Announced #HospitalCrisisWatch
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govAug 30(source)
Thanks to the mess this administration and RFK Jr. have created, many in our communities can't access vaccines they need to keep themselves safe and healthy. They’re not only failing to make us healthier, they’re actively putting lives at risk.

COVID vaccines are no longer available at CVS stores in three states and available only with a prescription in 13 states and D.C., CVS told Axios today. Here's what to know.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govAug 29(source)
Decisions about how to spend YOUR taxpayer dollars should be made by YOUR representatives. The Trump administration is trying to silence your voice, take Congress out of the picture, and make even deeper cuts to already-appropriated federal investments. It’s unacceptable.
Senator Patty Murray
@murray.senate.gov

Trump is attempting more ILLEGAL cuts to government investments, trying to push Congress to the side entirely. This is a brazen attempt to steal Congress's power to be YOUR voice on taxpayer spending. Trump does NOT have a line-item veto, much less a retroactive one.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govAug 27(source)
This is ridiculous. Just one month after her confirmation, the CDC Director has been fired. If reports that her ouster is related to support of basic vaccine science, we should all be very concerned.

Breaking news: Susan Monarez, the newly installed director of the CDC, is being ousted weeks after she was confirmed to lead the public health agency, according to multiple administration officials.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govAug 27(source)
Lisa Cook's illegal firing is yet another attempt by this admin to denigrate public servants in favor of political loyalists tasked with covering up their struggling economy. Stability & impartiality in the Federal Reserve is critical. This administration is threatening both.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govAug 27(source)
My prayers and condolences are with the students whose lives were taken and the community that will forever be marred by this senseless act of violence. We don’t have to accept these tragedies as a part of daily life. We can - and must - keep up the fight for commonsense gun safety laws.

Two children were killed in a shooting Wednesday at Annunciation Church in south Minneapolis, a source confirmed. The gunman is also dead, the law enforcement source said.

I'm glad Mr. Antoni will heed our calls to testify before our committee. Replacing the BLS head won’t change the reality that the economy is suffering. If our businesses and trade partners can't trust the data we produce, the impact on our economy could be disastrous.

SCOOP: Trump's BLS pick E.J. Antoni -- who many economists have flagged as unqualified -- will face a hearing before the Senate HELP committee. Over 30+ years, only 1 of the last 6 BLS chiefs had a committee hearing talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-e...
