It was never about 'returning it to the states'. Their plan is to outlaw abortion care nationwide and put countless women across the country in harm's way. Todd Blanche is a piece of that puzzle, and he can NOT be confirmed.

Official Bluesky Account for Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE).
RFK keeps promoting his own anti-vaccine agenda, and Americans are paying the price. He's completely unfit to lead HHS.
Trump can’t stop flip-flopping… he threatens airstrikes on Iran, calls them off claiming a deal is within reach, and now talks have collapsed again. Five months into this war of choice, there’s still no end in sight.
Delaware is doing amazing and innovative things! A new solar array (one of the largest in North America!) floating in Middletown will power thousands of homes. Proud to celebrate the work that is making this ambitious project a reality.
An alarming new report shows that the average Delaware household has paid more than $3,000 extra since President Trump took office. You deserve an economy that works for you. Instead, you're paying the price for Trump's failed agenda.
Medicare and Medicaid have helped us access healthcare for 61 years, but because of Washington Republicans’ cuts, 8 million and counting have lost their coverage. Senate Democrats are fighting to make sure you and your loved ones can always get the care you need.
The Attorney General’s role is to protect and serve the American people. Todd Blanche thinks it’s to protect and serve President Trump — It’s clear he’s unfit for the role.
This shouldn't even be a partisan issue. The administration's decision to end TPS for Haitians will put families in danger. It's time to legislate with compassion. www.cbsnews.com/news/ohio-mi...
Ohio's GOP governor calls Trump's plans to deport Haitians a "mistake": "You'd be sending people … back to hell"
Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine told CBS News the Trump administration's plan to ramp up deportations of Haitian migrants is a "mistake," arguing the move could bruise Ohio's economy.

Voting by mail is safe, secure and effective. Trump isn’t trying to keep elections safe, he’s attacking American’s constitutional right to vote.
📬 USPS LATEST: Last week, an appeals court blocked USPS from implementing Trump’s executive order attacking mail voting. The EO directs USPS to only deliver mail ballots if states hand over a list of preapproved voters. Now, the DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to weigh in.
Ahead of a new school year, families shouldn't have to worry about affording the supplies they need. Now, we're seeing the real effects of President Trump’s tariffs and endless wars on our communities and our classrooms.
Families face higher costs as back-to-school season nears
U.S. households will spend roughly $4,000 per student on school supplies and lunches this year, a new analysis found.

Elections have consequences— vote for an administration that puts a longtime vaccine conspiracy theorist as its public health lead, get the worst Measles outbreak in 35 years.
CDC has announced record measles numbers. See how bad cases have been.
With more than five months left in the year, 2026 is the worst for measles in 35 years. Public health officials have warned that falling childhood vaccination rates have left more communities vulnerab...

For decades, federal regulations helped keep food clean and safe. Cuts to the agencies that enforce those regulations may make life easier for big producers, but they put all our health at risk. Again and again, this administration refuses to put the people first.
This is the story of the Trump administration: millions of Americans left sicker, poorer, and hungrier.
These "new" tariffs are more of the same— chaos and confusion raising costs for working people.
Trump Administration Imposed New Tariffs of Around 10% on Over 80 Nations
The administration launched new duties tied to countries’ imports of goods made with forced labor, replacing a 10 percent tariff immediately after it expired.

I just voted to END the war with Iran. Senate Republicans, however, continue to block Democratic efforts to put a stop to this war. American soldiers are dying, billions of our taxpayer dollars are being set on fire, and prices at home are skyrocketing. This war must END.
Our Haitian friends and neighbors play key roles throughout our communities. That's why I'm leading with a bill with @markey.senate.gov to restore their Temporary Protected Status and give them stability. Now, I'm headed to the Senate floor to call on my colleagues to get it passed.
RFK Jr has actively rallied against vaccines for diseases like measles, and he's used his position to delay efforts to stop the spread. These are the consequences. The administration’s commitment to conspiracy theories and inaction is making our friends and neighbors sicker.
For every dollar a white man earns, Black women earn 63 cents — that's unacceptable. As we mark Black Women's Equal Pay Day, here's a look at some of the ways I'm fighting for true equality here in the Senate.
This administration is trying to tell you that gutting the agencies in charge of monitoring for and protecting against diseases like this didn't hurt our response time. The reality is: they've been making us sicker and poorer since day one.
Trump’s funding cuts created ‘the perfect storm’ that slowed the government’s cyclosporiasis response | CNN

The SAVE Act is just voter suppression by another name. No lies concocted by the President and his allies will change our votes: I'm a no on Jim Crow 2.0.
It’s been six years since we lost my friend, colleague, mentor, and our hero John Lewis. Throughout his extraordinary life, he showed us that - even in our darkest moments - we can fight for what is right AND spread joy and light. We miss you, John!
We should all be paying attention. The president is actively attacking the integrity of our elections to try and justify his voter suppression efforts. Here's the truth: the 2020 election was free and fair. Now, we need to stay vigilant to make sure the 2026 elections are too.
Trump doesn't have the votes to pass his deeply unpopular agenda, so he's going to use a primetime address from the White House to spread lies and conspiracies about the 2020 election. Our elections are safe and secure. No matter how hard he tries, Trump can't rewrite history.
This week I questioned Dr. Schwartz, Trump’s nominee to lead the CDC, and I’m concerned. Not because she’s not qualified— she is. But because this administration has shown a pattern of undermining the independence of qualified leaders and our public health demands better.
FIVE of my bills are now law as a part of the ROAD to housing package. After 30 years, we’re finally cutting red tape, increasing housing supply, and tackling America’s housing crisis.
This is unacceptable. We must stop this chaos. This week, ICE shot and killed two more people in the streets — people who weren't even subjects of investigation — and Republicans want to give them MORE money? Enough. I won't support it.
The reported shooting comes days after ICE allegedly shot a man in Houston during a traffic stop.
President Trump said the war was over, but a month later the fighting continues and costs keep rising. This is a war that never should have started, and it's time for this administration to listen to the American people and end it.
Trump formally notified lawmakers this weekend that the nation is once again at war with Iran, giving his administration another 60-day clock to use the military in the region without congressional approval.
The President may think historic legislation isn't worth his time or attention, but despite his inaction the ROAD to Housing package is now law. Everyone should have a safe, affordable place to call home.
The Trump admin wants to alter American history to follow to his agenda. The Smithsonian museums should be a place for us to learn about all our history, the good and the bad.
White House report accuses Smithsonian museum of ‘extreme political activism’
The 162-page report on the National Museum of American History marks an escalation of President Donald Trump’s criticism of the Smithsonian museums.
