Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods. But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap. That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

Don't let Republicans in Washington tell you any different, Trump is the reason TSA agents aren't getting paid and you're facing long lines at the airport.

By now you've probably seen the tragic video of an ICE agent shooting a Minnesota woman as she tried to drive away. The agent responsible for this tragedy must be brought to justice, and it's time for Secretary Noem to resign.
Today marks the end of Open Enrollment, and for folks up and down our state, it means making impossible decisions in the face of rising costs Republicans refuse to address. Don't take it from me — listen to Vonda tell her story, a common one taking place all across America.
People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further. They thought Trump's 'Golden Age' meant affordable gold plans, but all they got was an outrageous golden ballroom.
We have proof of what we've been through, and proof that we're made for this moment.
This administration can't give a straight answer because they don't have one. This war is a disaster and their lack of leadership is going to get more Americans killed.
Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the White House but they still can't get anything passed. Now they're telling you the costs you're paying as a result of Trump's war in Iran are no big deal. Unbelievable.
This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes. We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.
🚨UPDATE: The discharge petition to force a vote on a 3-year extension of key ACA tax credits has earned enough signatures in the House. We’re still in session here in the Senate— it’s time for Speaker Johnson to put this to a vote. The American people can’t afford to wait.
"I don't know what comes next." Brianna's story will sound familiar to countless parents in DE and across the country. It's a moving reminder of who suffers when Republicans play games with your health care. Head to my YouTube Channel to hear her tell her story—it's worth it.
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?
