This #NationalPublicLandsDay, I'm celebrating the beauty of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Public lands like these belong to all of us. As the Trump administration tries to sell them off, we must stand strong and protect future generations' access to our natural heritage.

Everyone deserves a place of their own to call home. It's time congress took action to bring affordable rent and homeownership back within reach for working Americans.

Another day, another major investment at Delaware State University, it's no surprise they were just ranked #4 among public HBCUs! Partnerships like this give DSU students the skills they need to face the challenges of today & tomorrow. Proud to support all they do for DE's future leaders.

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Who is Trump trying to fire exactly? These geniuses have had to scramble to REHIRE thousands of workers ranging from nuclear scientists to food safety inspectors tracking bird flu. Intimidation tactics won't work. Behave like an adult—negotiate with Democrats.

Removing signs in National Parks telling stories of slavery, climate change, Japanese American detention, and conflicts with Native Americans doesn’t make America great… It just proves how afraid Trump is of the truth.

The National Park Service has removed signs that make reference to climate change amid the Trump administration’s wider effort to remove information that it says undermines “the remarkable achievements of the United States.”

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 25(source)

Instead of negotiating, the Trump admin is trying a different strategy: threaten to do something they’re already doing. While Republicans play games with federal workers’ lives, Democrats are fighting to restore health care for millions of Americans. We are not the same.

White House begins plan for mass firings if there’s a government shutdown

The Office of Management and Budget sent a memo to federal agencies Wednesday night instructing them to plan for staff reductions, including firings.

The Trump administration is rejecting help from experts - our doctors, nurses and scientists - opting instead to make medical recommendations based on no evidence at all. RFK Jr was never going to make America healthier, but now it’s clear how harmful his recklessness could be.

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.

Senate Republicans
@SenateGOP
(https://x.com/SenateGOP)Democrats voted to cut $50B from rural hospitals last week, so we know they don’t actually care about access to health care.

They just want to fight the President, even if they shut down the government in the process.

TACO Tuesday in the Trump White House. Trump refuses to even sit down with Democrats on health care and lowering costs.

Health care prices are going to skyrocket this November because of President Trump. I’m not going to just lay down and take that.

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.

Trump Truth Social post cancelling a meeting with Leaders Schumer and Jeffries to discuss the government funding deadline.

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.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 23(source)

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

Trump Appointees Roll Back Enforcement of Fair Housing Laws
Interviews and internal documents show that signature civil rights protections in housing are being dismissed as ideologically driven and D.E.I. in disguise.
