Official Bluesky Account for Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
