Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Delaware's at-large district, has expressed her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets dated March 5, 2025. These tweets focus on tariffs, trade wars, and the CHIPS and Science Act.

In a tweet posted at 03:00:46 UTC, Rep. Rochester criticized former President Donald Trump's stance on tariffs. She stated: "Don't be fooled: every time he says ‘tariffs’, Trump is talking about alienating our allies and raising the cost of everything you buy." She further alleged that Trump is more concerned with creating chaos to benefit himself and his associates.

At 03:05:13 UTC, she addressed the issue of rising grocery costs for families amid ongoing trade wars. She remarked: "We should be doing everything we can to bring down grocery costs for families, not starting pointless trade wars to raise prices even further." In this context, she also criticized President Biden's approach during the cost-of-living crisis.

Later that day at 03:33:17 UTC, Rep. Rochester highlighted the benefits of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act. She tweeted: "The *bipartisan* CHIPS and Science Act has brought billions in manufacturing investments in communities all across the country." She questioned why former President Trump would want to repeal such legislation that had received support from both parties.
