I’m so grateful for my colleague @SenLBR's leadership on this issue. Raising awareness of blood clots and developing better protocols will save lives and prevent tragedies. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.
If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

BLUNT ROCHESTER: You were in the Oval Office when Trump signed the EO calling for splitting up the MMR vaccine into three separate shots. It's been reported you provided a list of options to the president. You thought that was a good one?
OVERTON: I enjoyed our meeting
BR: It's just a yes or no. You think that was a good option?
OVERTON: My job is to provide options to him
BR: But you wouldn't have provided a bad option, right?
OVERTON: My current job is to deliver to the president
BR: I thought this was the easy question!

It was a pleasure to celebrate Senator Barbara Mikulski’s 90th birthday today.
From Baltimore’s neighborhoods to the halls of Congress, Barbara has been a tireless champion for working families and an inspiration to generations of women in public service.

.@SenLBR urged the public to pressure Congress on AI regulation, citing “serious” concerns about public safety at POLITICO’s Policy Outlook: Housing Affordability.
“Now I know we came here to talk about housing, but let me tell you, we won't need housing if we're not here," she told @politico's @vtg2.
“As fast as this technology is iterating and getting smarter and smarter and faster and faster, a kill switch will be obsolete in a year or two."
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester retweeted
WATCH LIVE: The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to address the affordability concerns that are expected to dominate the midterm election. But many are already questioning what more Washington can do about soaring home prices and rents.
Tune in as our @vtg2 sits down for a @POLITICOLive policy chat with @SenLBR 👇

News from @PunchbowlNews AM: Sens. John Curtis and Lisa Blunt Rochester calling for immediate public hearings on AI in a new statement
Both sit on Commerce
They say they’re seeking hearings “to bring lawmakers, model makers, and other stakeholders into the same room and work through solutions that maintain America’s competitive edge in development while ensuring that these technologies serve human interests and remain fully under human control. In the meantime, Congress must ensure necessary safeguards are in place.”

While RFK Jr.'s been shouting "Make America Healthy Again" from the rooftops, over 160 foods have been recalled so far this year.
There’s nothing healthy about food-borne illness.

If we are smart enough to create such powerful AI, then we are smart enough to regulate it.
America can meet the moment, but the clock is ticking.
Congress needs to step up and move NOW to protect American lives and safeguard our future.

While Americans are struggling to make ends meet, Republicans are pushing to spend $455 BILLION on an unrealistic military boondoggle named after Trump.
Republicans should put taxpayers and working families ahead of Trump's vanity.

All he does is make things more expensive.
BREAKING WSJ:
The Trump admin plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans — a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year. wsj.com/health/healthcare/tr…
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester retweeted
First, Washington Republicans cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Then, they let the Affordable Care Act's enhanced tax credits expire. Now, Trump is raising the price of prescriptions for seniors on Medicare.
Not only do Republicans in Washington not care about lowering costs, they're actively making your life more expensive.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester retweeted
Trump is pushing a policy that will INCREASE child care costs for low-income families.
I am forcing a vote THIS WEEK to overturn Trump's higher-cost policies.
Every Senator will cast a vote on a simple question: should working parents pay more for child care, or less?
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester retweeted
Granite Staters are already paying higher prices due to Trump’s tariffs, and yesterday, he announced an additional 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. His mission to make life more expensive needs to end.
Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester retweeted
The American people deserve honesty about the costs of this war. The Pentagon’s unwillingness to provide that to us should alarm us all.

The biggest housing bill in 30 years is now law. But what does it actually do?

They are losing, and they know it.
Election officials will not be intimidated. Senate Democrats will make sure resources are in place to fight back against any illegal activity by the Trump administration.
