Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Delaware's at-large district, has expressed strong opinions on several key issues through a series of tweets. Known for her advocacy on national security, equal pay, and social security, she continues to voice concerns and call for legislative action.

On March 24, 2025, Rep. Blunt Rochester criticized the current administration's handling of national security matters. She stated that "A ‘mistake’ of this magnitude should be inconceivable, but for the most careless and chaotic cabinet in our nation’s history it’s not even all that surprising." She further commented on the administration's reliability regarding national security and troop safety.

The following day, March 25, 2025, she highlighted ongoing issues related to gender pay inequality despite longstanding legislation aimed at addressing it. In her tweet, she noted that "It’s been more than 50 years since the Equal Pay Act became law, but the gender pay gap hasn’t gone away." She urged her colleagues to support the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay becomes a reality.

Later on March 25th, Rep. Blunt Rochester addressed concerns about changes affecting seniors' access to Social Security benefits. Referring to remarks by Sen. Warren, she tweeted that "this isn’t efficiency, it’s a deliberate effort to make it harder for seniors to access their Social Security." She accused policymakers of attempting to divert funds from seniors for tax breaks benefiting billionaires.
