My REPAIR Infrastructure Act would continue funding for highway cap and removal projects that are revitalizing cities nationwide. We have the opportunity to correct historic injustices AND support our economy—it's time we capitalize on it.

Bloomberg
Adding Up What Urban Highways Really Cost
A new report maps the economic toll that downtown freeways exact on 142 US cities — and tallies up what that land could be worth if it was developed for other uses.

Kristi Noem's tenure as DHS Secretary was marked by relentless self-dealing, negligence, and cruelty towards immigrants and fellow Americans alike. While I'm glad she's been removed, I don't have much confidence that these issues will change under a new secretary.

I just voted for @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution. This vote is a vote for the American people, who have said loud and clear that they do not want another forever war.

“Today, I will vote for Senator Kaine’s war powers resolution.

“What we have seen from this President is a dangerous pattern. From the moment he was sworn in, he has worked to undermine Congress’s constitutional authority, hollow out our federal government, and launch illegal military operations in countries around the world. Americans were promised peace. Instead, we are witnessing chaos.

“The Iranian regime is a deadly one, and there is no doubt that the world would be a safer place without Iran having nuclear capabilities. But after attending the Senate briefing on Iran, it was strikingly clear that there was no rational justification for military action and no imminent threat to the United States. This administration has failed to define its goals, explain an exit strategy, or provide any long-term plan for what comes next.

“Countless Americans remember Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. They remember the cost of wars that were launched without clear objectives. They remember the sons and daughters who never came home, and the scars of those who did. This vote today is a vote for the American people, who have said loud and clear that they do not want another forever war.”

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 4(source)

Which is it? Did we 'completely destroy’ their arsenal last year? Or did they pose a threat now?

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 3(source)

The administration's justification for starting a war that has gotten American service members killed is changing every day. The American people deserve a straight, honest answer.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 3(source)

My office has heard from Americans struggling to get home as the administration tells them to fend for themselves. In the lead up to this attack, they should have been ready for this. I'll do all I can to ensure my constituents' safe return—the State Department should do the same.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 3(source)

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 2(source)

There was no report of an imminent threat, so why has this President gotten Americans killed and put countless more in harm's way? This administration needs to answer to Congress for these brazen attacks.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govMar 2(source)

The decision to go to war is a monumental and grave one – one that should be made with the consent of Congress and a clear plan. It shouldn’t be taken lightly, but, unfortunately, we've seen Trump do just that. That's why I'll vote YES on @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.

No war with Iran.  There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective. I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.

This week, we acknowledged the unsung heroes. The ones who work every single day to make people safer in our communities.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govFeb 27(source)

Instead of working hard to bring your costs down, this billionaire cabinet is telling you to be happy with the scraps. The disrespect for everyday Americans is outrageous.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govFeb 26(source)

This administration has done nothing to bring down costs. Now, during a massive affordability crisis, they want to make it EASIER for folks to be evicted without warning. Unbelievable.

This is a heartbreaking, disturbing pattern. After ICE wrongfully arrested a Delaware mom, they tried to release her outside an airport 1,000 miles from home with no documentation, no money, and no way to get back. This inhumane treatment is costing lives. It has to stop.

Buffalo Police have opened a homicide investigation after Border Patrol agents abandoned a blind refugee miles from his home. If confirmed, Border Patrol will have accounted for 33% of Buffalo's homicides this year.

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he'll never cut Medicaid (he already passed the largest cut in history last year) to holding the program hostage for an entire state. Trump is using the most vulnerable people in our communities as political pawns. It's disgusting.

Trump just thinks that affordability is a buzzword. Americans know better – it can literally be a matter of life and death.

A 65 year old legally blind and disabled woman says she has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can’t afford enough food under the Trump administration. “Like the previous caller said, the end is coming near, and it couldn’t be any more true than for me.” Heartbreaking

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govFeb 26(source)

As the lowest lying state in the nation, Delaware's already feeling the impacts of the climate crisis. While Trump puts polluters over people, I'm proud to be in this fight with @lcv.org. Together, we'll do all we can to pass a livable planet on to future generations.

Today, the Trump administration's Surgeon General nominee tried to tell us that this administration would never ask her to do anything unethical. Let's not forget that RFK Jr did exactly that less than six months ago. How can we be sure it won't happen again?

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govFeb 24(source)

This President hasn't made us safer— he's only created chaos and fear. However, in these moments of chaos are stories of everyday Americans' extraordinary strength. Tonight, my guest for the State of the Union is one of those Americans, Maria Mesias-Tatnall. Hear her story:

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

Canceled meetings. Incomplete, confusing, uninformed guidance. Conspiracy theories galore. Members of this administration tried to tell me Secretary Kennedy would improve Americans' confidence in vaccines, but given their record, it's no surprise that confidence continues to plummet.
