Diseases and viruses know no borders. By being part of the WHO, the United States could get information about public health threat in other countries that could harm Americans—like Ebola outbreaks—and take action to make sure that we are prepared to respond.

Pharma CEOs dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Billionaires sat in the front row of his inauguration. And, on Day 1, Trump killed a Biden program to guarantee $2 generic drugs for seniors. Trump is making clear who he serves, and it is not the American people.
Cancelling the flights of refugees who have already been vetted and approved for resettlement in the United States is unconscionable. I urge the Trump administration to resume these flights immediately. apnews.com/article/refu...
Today would have marked the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, Senate Republicans are pushing their extremist "Born Alive" bill. They’ll keep pushing abortion restrictions until they get a national ban.
Donald Trump wants to loot health care for ordinary Americans to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Trump sold out to the ultra wealthy but I didn’t. I won't stop fighting to protect people over profit.
Our immigration system should be about compassion and celebration, not incarceration and separation.
To our immigrant friends, family members, and neighbors: Know Your Rights www.boston.gov/departments/...
Trump’s energy agenda is to attack American renewable energy jobs and raise power costs and increase economic chaos. American workers lose, people who pay electric bills lose, and only the Big Oil Barons win. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...
I'll be reintroducing my We Are Still In Resolution with my colleagues. We're not going to stop working to achieve the Paris Agreement—for good-paying jobs, clean air & water, & a livable future. To our allies: when it comes to climate action, we still mean business. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Cecile was fearless and trailblazing in the fight for equality. A stalwart advocate for women, abortion rights, and justice. It was an honor work with her for so many years. My heart is with her family as they suffer this tremendous loss.
Donald Trump has vowed to punish his enemies. I’m glad Biden has issued preemptive pardons as I called for. Each person has the choice to accept these pardons, but the only thing they can be charged with is standing up to Trump and doing their job.
I’m glad TikTok is coming back online. We need to keep it that way. The platform is too important to the lives of 170 million creators.
I’m deeply disappointed that TikTok went dark last night. I will not stop fighting to fix this mistake in the United States.
This inauguration weekend, keep an eye on the sky for the billionaires flying to DC in their private jets to celebrate a Trump administration that is of the rich and for the rich—all while the world burns. I'm re-introducing my FATCAT Act to make them pay for their pollution.
We cannot allow TikTok to go dark on Sunday. I urge the Biden administration to take further steps to ensure that doesn’t happen. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
I am deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the TikTok ban. I am not done fighting to pass my 270 day extension. We need more time. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...
The TVA is the nation’s largest public power provider and Trump could replace its entire board. We deserve better than a board of ideologues who will prioritize corporate gas profits over lower bills and renewable energy. I’m deeply concerned. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/l...
Donald Trump isn't building a cabinet—he's installing a cartel. Big Oil executives and lobbyists shouldn't be able to turn public agencies into private profit machines for fossil fuel shareholders. My Big Oil Cabinet Act will ensure that their greed is not rewarded with power.
The White House is listening. Momentum is growing. I’m going to keep fighting to prevent a TikTok ban. www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe...
We cannot accept a TikTok ban when 170 million Americans and 7 million businesses rely on TikTok to earn a living, find community, and share their stories. We need more time.
