Vaccines are safe and they save lives – period.
With the support of congressional Republicans, Secretary Kennedy is purging doctors and health experts while eroding the scientific pillars of public health that keep our communities safe.

Working class families are the ones struggling to get by—but the Trump administration & congressional Republicans fought to cut taxes for their billionaire donors while ripping healthcare and food assistance away from the most vulnerable.
It’s morally reprehensible.

Secretary Kennedy is driving out qualified scientists and dedicated public health experts because of their refusal to go along with his dangerous and unfounded views on vaccines.
Congressional Republicans must work with Democrats to restore integrity at our public health institutions.
Moreover, instead of supporting short-sighted cuts to mental health programs and DOJ programs that help to reduce gun violence, as the Trump administration has done this year, Republicans in Congress should expand these programs to help save lives.
I have cosponsored legislation that would enact universal background checks, stronger red flag laws, enhanced gun storage laws, and an assault weapons ban — I call on the Speaker to give these bills a vote in the People’s House.
The time is now.
This is utterly heartbreaking.
Children in America should be free to go to school and church without having to worry about being shot in the classroom or a church pew.
There are common sense steps we can take to keep our kids safe—but we must have the courage to ACT!

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington.
As we honor the legacies of the civil rights leaders who led this march toward a more just America, let us continue their work by standing up and speaking out against those who would undermine our civil liberties and voting rights today.
“The data includes people’s names, birth dates and other information that could be used to steal their identities”
This is what we warned when an unelected billionaire was recklessly rifling through government databases & endangering Americans’ privacy.

President Trump said he would protect Social Security.
Instead, he mass-fired essential workers at the Social Security Administration, degraded services that our seniors depend on, and exposed the private information of more than 300 million Americans.
I’m devastated to learn of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.
As first responders continue their work to save lives, let us pray for the health and safety of the victims and their families.
Not only is the deployment of American troops into major cities a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars that could be better spent investing in local law enforcement and crime prevention programs, but it’s also a drag on local economies.

In the past month, the president has purged senior military leadership, sent American troops into our nation’s capital, raided the home of a political adversary, and attempted to seize control of the central bank.
Now he’s openly saying people want a dictator.
Instead of working to lower costs for working class families, congressional Republicans fought to lower tax rates for their billionaire donors.
While ripping healthcare away from 15 million Americans.
And adding $4 trillion to the national debt.

Happy Women’s Equality Day!
105 years after the 19th Amendment was enshrined in the Constitution, we continue the fight to enforce equal pay for equal work, restore reproductive freedom, and ensure women have the opportunity to succeed in every area of life.
This effort to install a loyalist at the Fed isn’t just unconstitutional – it’s a step toward economic calamity.
www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...
This happens in places like Turkey, Venezuela or Russia – not the United States.
Wherever a wannabe authoritarian seizes control of the central bank, the nation rapidly faces stunted economic growth and runaway inflation.
The president does not have the authority to fire Dr. Cook from the Federal Reserve, period.
This unconstitutional effort to install a loyalist at America’s central bank undermines the rule of law and threatens the stability of our financial system.
It cannot be allowed to move forward.
“Tariffs raise costs, and their uncertain implementation has customers of the equipment makers more cautious in their investments.”
Costs are rising and workers are losing jobs thanks to the president’s chaotic and reckless tariff taxes.
www.wsj.com/opinion/deer...
Rather than working with Democrats to expand clean energy and lower energy costs for families, the president and Republicans in Congress gutted investments in renewables with their Big Ugly Bill.
It’s driving up utility bills for Missouri families.
