Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and play an essential role in creating jobs throughout Delaware. I joined the Delaware Division of Small Business this week to meet with local entrepreneurs and learn more about how they're making an impact on their community.

I always look forward to addressing the New Castle County Chamber as part of their Policy Makers Breakfast Series to discuss where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. We face challenges ahead – but we can only truly take them on if we do it together.

Trump's reckless cuts to funding for research at our universities are unacceptable. Was glad to visit @delstateuniv.bsky.social to learn how defunding their labs would make it harder to find treatments for diseases like Alzheimer’s and protect us from toxic 'forever chemicals' in our water.

Preparing our workforce for the economy of the future has long been one of my top priorities. I was excited to tour the Delaware Innovation Space yesterday to see how they help create science-based entrepreneurship opportunities for workers across our state.

There are hundreds of thousands of Delawareans who rely on Medicaid, and we will not stand by while Republicans plot to take it away. Proud to join @coons.senate.gov and @mcbride.house.gov in standing arm-in-arm with care providers and impacted Delaware families today.

This is a welcome decision, and I'll be glad to see our federal workers back doing the work to keep our communities safe and healthy, but we can't forget the damage that has been done in their absence.

Cutting a vital resource that millions rely on isn't efficiency. It's about keeping our seniors in the dark as they make it harder to access benefits - or cut them entirely - so they can pay for their billionaire tax cut. This is a robbery - we need to call it out.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 12(source)
This morning, workers at the @usedgov.bsky.social were told to stay home. It's the first step in their plan to dismantle the department entirely. Instead of lowering your costs, they’re focused on taking money away from schools, kids from low-income households, and kids with disabilities.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 11(source)
The Agriculture Secretary just called this now-canceled USDA program that helped feed kids AND support our farmers "non-essential." You read that right - the Trump administration thinks both our children and our farmers are "non-essential."
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 11(source)
When Trump starts reckless trade wars with our allies, they push back. Now, more than a million families will see their energy costs go higher than ever. His promise to cut your energy costs in half was a hollow one. Actions have consequences.

Workers all across this country have made a deal: contribute to Social Security so that when you retire, you can do so with dignity. The richest man in the world just proposed breaking that deal - and stealing your money - like it was nothing. OUTRAGEOUS.

Cuts to life-saving health research would have a big impact on Delawareans. That’s why I'm grateful to AG Jennings and all the attorneys general who've successfully sued to stop Trump's cuts to vital NIH research, including $13M+ for Delaware. baytobaynews.com/stories/heal...
Health research cuts will have big impact in Delaware - Bay to Bay News
WASHINGTON — Research cuts would impact Delaware. Rural cancer patients may miss out on cutting-edge treatments in Utah. Therapies for intellectual disorders could stall in Maryland. Red states …
