The reality is: our communities are facing stronger hurricanes, more frequent floods, and near-constant extreme temps because of climate change. We can feel it. Ignoring or manipulating the facts won't change that. We owe it to our kids to act— not pretend like nothing's wrong.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govAug 1(source)
Firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they accurately report on your struggling economy isn't just corrupt, it's deeply irresponsible. Undermining our economic data is only going to create further chaos and uncertainty for our businesses big and small.

Breaking: Trump says he ordered the firing of Erika McEntarfer, accusing the labor statistics commissioner of manipulating jobs data.

The impact of the gun violence epidemic on communities throughout Delaware inspired me to do this work. People were calling Wilmington ‘Murdertown’— it was unacceptable. Thank you to Community Justice for partnering in the work to make us safer, and for this recognition!

SNAP doesn’t just feed hungry kids and families–it sets individuals up for a lifetime of better health. Remind me again, why are Republicans and Trump gutting this lifesaving program? Oh yeah, tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Again. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Federal food assistance program may slow cognitive decline, study suggests
New research links receiving food assistance through SNAP to better brain health. Earlier this month, Trump enacted major cuts to the program.

Democrats offered an amendment to simply ensure that if taxpayers spend $1 billion retrofitting a Qatari jet, it doesn't transfer to Trump after his presidency for his personal use. Republicans voted NO and blocked the amendment. This is the most corrupt administration in history. Easily.

Let Me Be Blunt: It’s way too expensive to rent or buy a home in this country—this week, we finally took action. The Banking Committee passed a major package of legislation to fast track new construction and give millions of Americans a place to call home. Next stop: Senate floor.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 29(source)
By claiming climate change and the pollution that causes it aren’t a threat to Americans, this administration is giving big polluters a green light to make our air and water dirtier and our communities sicker as a result. Make no mistake: this endangers all our communities.

For over 40 years, the Preventative Services Task Force has played a key role in keeping our communities safe and healthy. But as expected, RFK Jr. is moving to disband it. This is further proof that he’s unfit to lead HHS. We’re going to fight this.
Exclusive | RFK Jr. to Oust Advisory Panel on Cancer Screenings, HIV Prevention Drugs
The task force determines which preventive services insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

From veterans to new families to kids, people across America are feeling the strain of the housing affordability crisis. For the first time in over a decade, our committee just passed bipartisan legislation to increase housing supply, cut red tape, and spur innovation.

We can't stand by as Gaza starves. It is time for us to reclaim our leadership role on the global stage, expand access to humanitarian aid, and aggressively pursue a just peace. Today I joined @schiff.senate.gov in an urgent call for this administration to step up and do more.

Children are starving. Civilian deaths continue to mount. Hostages are still held. Today I led 43 of my Senate colleagues in demanding the State Department work urgently to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. This cannot continue.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 29(source)
Spending billions of taxpayer dollars to upgrade your private jet is hardly a priority. Doing it while you’re kicking millions of Americans off their health care and leaving them to starve is shameful. Even this administration knows that, so they’re trying to hide the price tag.

The administration transferred nearly $1 billion dollars to a Pentagon project to modernize nuclear weapons, but those funds will be used to renovate Trump's "flying palace."

I was proud to host the annual delegation Veterans Summit alongside @coons.senate.gov and @mcbride.house.gov this morning. It was a great opportunity to come together, learn from each other, and recommit to doing everything we can to support our courageous veterans.

After meeting with some of their student leaders last week, I was so excited to join the Delaware FFA for their state fair awards breakfast this morning. Delaware is an agricultural state, and the FFA has an important role to play in our state’s success.
