The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced legislation to hold the pharmaceutical industry accountable and to lower the prices of lifesaving drugs.

As I said in my marathon speech, the rich don’t need government’s help getting richer. We need effective, independent watchdogs like the Federal Trade Commission to keep corporate giants from jacking up prices for struggling families just to increase profits for corporations.
The corruption couldn’t be clearer. On CNBC, Jim Cramer said that without Bedoya and Slaughter at the FTC, big pharma company “McKesson is the big winner. They’re not going to have any investigation; they can jack the price up all they want.”
This was Trump’s big gift to big pharma. Now with the Democratic commissioners out the way, the FTC indefinitely paused their case against the largest PBMs for inflating the cost of insulin.
Trump illegally tried to fire the two Democratic FTC commissioners who investigated and oversaw cases against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) for inflating insulin prices.

The Federal Trade Commission works to lower drug prices by cracking down on Big Pharma’s anti-competitive business practices, which line the pockets of wealthy executives with sky-high prices on medications Americans need.
Sky-high prices for lifesaving drugs, like insulin, hurt families all over America.
And the Trump administration is doing nothing to lower them–in fact, they’re doing the opposite. Here are the facts 🧵
Today is a tragedy for the FSU community and a reminder that we need to do better.
My heart is with the FSU community, and the victims as they recover. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens and there have been over 300 incidents of gunfire on college campuses since 2013–not including mass shootings.
Black mothers in America face disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality and morbidity. We must do more to ensure access to affordable, quality care. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek
My friend and fellow senator, Chris Van Hollen, is answering the moral call to defend residents of his state who’ve been stripped of due process by the Trump administration. I’m hopeful his visit to El Salvador will expedite Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return so that he can reunite with his family.
The government continues to cancel grants and funding for non-profits for entirely political purposes.
This will not save taxpayers’ money, but will put the ideals of liberty and justice for all further out of reach.
Grateful that @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after an apparent act of arson at his residence. Acts of violence have no place in our politics. Those responsible should be held accountable.
Wishing those who observe a peaceful, joyous, and meaningful Passover.
Last year I had the honor of attending the send off for the 44th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and today I had the pleasure of welcoming them back home in NJ! Thank you Jersey Blues! I am grateful of the service and sacrifice of each of you and your families.
Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.
Trump’s tariff chaos is increasing prices for Americans, costing people their jobs, tanking retirement savings, and weakening our economy.
Instead of starting a trade war and sticking you with the bill, we should invest in American workers and crack down on big corporations that ship jobs overseas.
Heartbroken for the victims of the helicopter crash in the Hudson River. My office is closely monitoring this situation and has been in touch with local and federal authorities.
I’m grateful for the swift action by emergency responders.
Three House Republicans. Four Senate Republicans. That's it. That's the math.
