No one in our country should be forced to go hungry, but that's what Republicans' big bad budget means for thousands of Delawareans. In Delaware, we're a state of neighbors. This morning, we came together as a reminder that when neighbors stick together, we can get through this.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester stands in front of a crowd and behind several microphones at a podium. The podium has a sign which reads "Food Bank of Delaware." A sign in the background reads, "When it counts, your neighbors can count on you."

REPORTER: The president is revamping the Rose Garden for a second time, he's spending billions of dollars to overhaul a 747 that will be used for Air Force 1 for possibly a year. Are you concerned about that spending too? RUSS VOUGHT: We have a lot of priorities. We need to spend in areas.

Today is Black Women's Equal Pay Day— the day when Black women working full time finally make as much as their white, male counterparts made in 2024. In recognition of the work ahead, I wanted to share a poem I wrote dedicated to all the Black women fighting hard for equal pay.

🪙 66 cents on the dollar isn’t enough and it isn't fair. That’s what Black women working full time, year-round are paid, on average, for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men working full time, year-round. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

This administration knows that elderly medicaid recipients aren't coming out of retirement to work on farms and in meat-packing facilities. Their cruel immigration crackdown is creating a labor shortage, and it's raising everyday costs for you and your family.

Trump’s immigration crackdown is taking a toll on the U.S. economy. From small farms to corporate giants like Disney, businesses are scrambling to replace workers after recent admin actions have taken immigrants — both legal and undocumented — out of the labor force.

Our state has the lowest mean elevation in the nation, and Delawareans are deeply concerned about rising sea levels and inland flooding. When devastating storms are getting worse and worse, cutting funding to those who help us predict those storms and alert our communities is a costly mistake.

157 years ago, our country enshrined in the constitution three fundamental rights: birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection under law. No matter how hard the Trump administration tries to erode them, we'll never stop fighting to protect these fundamental rights.

157 years ago, the 14th Amendment was ratified—guaranteeing equal protection and due process under law and birthright citizenship. I’ll continue to stand up against Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to unilaterally end birthright citizenship and roll back civil rights.

Last week, I emailed Delawareans asking what they thought about the big, ugly bill Republicans just rushed through Congress. More than 11,000 people said they strongly disapprove of it. Numbers don't lie. Delawareans know how bad this bill is going to be.

Whether through massive cuts to Medicaid or his discriminatory travel bans, the Trump administration is making it harder and more expensive for you to get the health care you need.

This is a consequence of inexperienced and reckless leadership throughout this administration: empowering vaccine skepticism has brought measles back from obscurity. Together, we need to rebuild trust in the science that helped us eradicate this terrible disease the first time.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

This nation was founded on the idea that we could aspire to more than autocrats and monarchs. Today, we are reminded that our greatness is rooted in our never-ending pursuit of a more perfect union. Happy Independence Day, Delaware!

Today we mark 61 years of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In the face of efforts to reverse this progress and erase our histories, this anniversary is a reminder that the fight for equality requires a constant, active effort.

My full statement on the passage of Republicans' Reconciliation Bill:

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester's Full Statement on the Republican Reconciliation Bill

“The Republican majority in the Senate has just voted to take healthcare away from millions, rip food assistance away from families, and make life more expensive for working class Americans. The level of devastation this reconciliation bill will cause cannot be understated. And despite their claims to prioritize ‘fiscal responsibility,’ this bill will balloon the federal debt and deficit. That is the opposite of government efficiency.

“Hundreds of constituents have called and written into my office to illustrate how harmful this bill could be to them. My colleagues across the aisle should be reminded that, with costs still sky high, millions of people across the country count on the things they are stripping away — like fully stocked food banks and health care coverage through Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

“Over the last 24 hours, Senate Democrats have put forward amendments to try to ease the burden this bill would place on working families. My amendment, which would have protected Medicaid funding for maternal health care, was among them and was voted down by all but one Republican. Unfortunately, their desire to further enrich billionaires at the expense of everyone else is blatantly illustrated by the passage of this bill.

“I voted no on this bill on behalf of every single Delawarean who told me their story and asked me to protect what they rely on. I voted for the parents working two jobs who rely on food assistance to feed their family, for the seniors that rely on the ACA, for hard-working families that want a good paying job, a low energy bill, and even lower grocery costs. I voted on behalf of a constituent who told me that me that if we ‘pulled on the thread of Medicaid, his whole life would unravel.’ When the time comes, Senate Democrats will be ready to repair the damage, rebuild our communities, and reestablish trust in Congress’ ability to govern on behalf of the people.”

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 1(source)

How did Republicans react when they advanced their bill to sell out the working Americans, kick millions off health care, and force countless more to go hungry? Applause. Remember this moment.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 1(source)

Republicans just made it clear where they stand. By passing their big bad bill, they’re selling out working Americans and families everywhere to help those who need no extra help. But make no mistake: We’ll never stop fighting to protect the people Republicans left behind today.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans pass Trump’s big tax breaks and spending cuts bill after a turbulent all-night session. Follow live updates.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 1(source)

With the way they’re trying to rush this bill - handwritten notes, backroom deals, and all - it’s like they don’t want you to know what’s in it. That’s because they don’t. This big bad bill sells out the American people, and they’re doing everything they can to sneak it through.

A post from Senator Amy Klobuchar that reads "Delay on floor: The Republicans hand wrote more paybacks into the 900 plus page bill and no one can figure out what they are. I mean it only adds 4 trillion plus in debt already so why not add some more by hand."

I'm on the Senate floor right now debating Trump's Big Ugly bill, and I really worry Americans do not fully realize just how bad it is. Please help get the word out. This is just SOME of what's in the bill (so far).

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.govJun 30(source)

Republicans just voted NO to save funding for labor and delivery rooms for mommas and babies. @bluntrochester.senate.gov asked a simple question: do we stand for billionaires or moms and babies? Republicans voted with the billionaires and threw mommas and babies under the bus. It’s cruel.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govJul 1(source)

It's sunrise, and Republicans are scrambling behind closed doors to get the votes for their big ugly bill. Here's what we know: this bill would slash vital programs, and those huge cuts don't even cover the cost of their billionaire tax breaks. Stay tuned today.
