Happy Delaware Grown Week to all the farmers and producers who support our state! Choosing First State produce opens doors to community and sustainability with fresh, nutritious, delicious food— today is a great day to find a farmer’s market near you!

This week, Republicans took another middle-of-the-night step towards cutting Medicaid and SNAP and taking away thousands of jobs. All to give the super-rich another handout. Now, we fight to convince Senate Republicans to reject this bad deal.

I went to the floor today to share some of the stories I’ve heard from Delawareans whose lives depend on Medicaid. I want my Republican colleagues to hear their names and their stories so they understand the tradeoffs they’re making to support more tax cuts for the wealthy.

According to Sec. Zeldin, his agency had more than 1,500 "wins" to highlight in their first 100 days. So why do so many of them sound so similar? The reality is, he’s overseen cuts to rules and programs that keep us safe and healthy. Far from an accomplishment in my book.

There it is. Working people lose - not just income, but things like Medicaid, Social Security, clean water, access to the internet, and assistance starting a small business - all so the rich can get richer. This is a bad deal, and I refuse to support it.
A ripped headline reads "Wealthy gain, low-income people lose from GOP megabill, analysis finds. The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is already fueling Democratic accusations that the legislation is a giveaway to the rich. The headline is superimposed over a photo of Speaker Mike Johnson (left) and President Donald Trump (right) standing in front of a statue and columns in the U.S. Capitol.

Let me be Blunt: this administration doesn’t know what’s going on at the CDC, and all our communities are at risk. We’ve been asking for months: who's really leading our public health response? We still haven’t heard back, so I’m demanding answers. Let’s see what we get.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMay 19(source)
Republicans know their big bad budget’s major cuts to vital programs and new giveaways for billionaires are outrageous and unpopular. That’s why they’re holding votes at 11PM and hearings at 1AM – they hope you’re not paying attention.

71 years ago, Brown v. Board of Education made clear what we've always known to be true: separate is NOT equal. Today, in the face of attempts to erase our history, we celebrate the strength of the students, parents, and judges who stood up for what was right and won.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMay 16(source)
In Energy & Commerce, House Republicans voted to gut Medicaid. In the Agriculture Committee, they voted to slash SNAP. In Ways & Means, they voted to use the money they ‘saved’ with those cuts to give the ultra-rich another tax break. They should have to answer for it.

134 years ago today, @delstateuniv.bsky.social was founded—a crown jewel of Delaware and one of the best HBCUs in the country. Today we reflect on the generations of students whose path to success ran through DSU and celebrate the future of this great institution.

The science is clear: polluting our drinking water with forever chemicals threatens communities everywhere. The decision to roll back restrictions is further proof that this administration cares more about corporations' bottom line than the health & safety of American families.
EPA will weaken rule curbing ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water
The Environmental Protection Agency will rescind and reconsider drinking water standards for four chemicals that have been linked to a range of illnesses.
