Pandemics do not recognize borders & preventing global outbreaks requires American-led coordination. Investing in the World Health Organization is about keeping AMERICA safe—Trump withdrawing the U.S. from it is dangerous. This is the opposite of putting America first—it's putting America at risk.
Public health experts warn that pulling out of WHO, which Trump attacked for its response to COVID-19, will leave Americans more vulnerable to health threats.
No Senator who believes Congress holds the power of the purse should vote for an OMB director like Russ Vought. I don't know how you justify supporting someone who will not respect the laws we pass or disburse the investments we as lawmakers have secured for our states.
Russ Vought is an extremist who's been clear he'll put everything on the chopping block, from programs people rely on like Medicaid & SNAP, to the checks & balances our democracy is founded on. He will rip away health care from kids to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires.
During the first week of Trump’s presidency, Republicans aren't rolling out a health care plan or telling us how they'll lower the cost of groceries—they are focused on attacking women, criminalizing doctors, and lying about abortion.
Trump's pick for budget director thinks Trump can hold up investments Congress has made in our communities. (He can't.) Let me be clear: letting the president pick & choose which parts of our spending laws to follow would destroy our ability to negotiate bills & get things done.
Today, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I want to be clear that Democrats will do everything we can to restore the right to abortion nationwide & keep fighting back against Republicans' anti-abortion, anti-woman extremism. They may be in charge, but we are not going anywhere.
BREAKING: Democrats just blocked Senate Republicans' extreme anti-abortion legislation to let the federal government override the judgment of families and create new, medically unnecessary barriers for doctors and patients to get reproductive health care.
NOW: Senate Republicans are trying to pass a cruel bill that not only misrepresents the hard and painful choices women face during a nonviable pregnancy—but it would create a dangerous new national anti-abortion government mandate.
ADM Linda Fagan was the first woman leader of a U.S. Military branch—she rightfully stood up for victims of sexual assault & bolstered recruitment for the Coast Guard. Trump's firing her for no real reason as far as I can tell. It's an outrage & bad for our military. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
In the first week of Trump taking office, want to know what bill Republicans want to try and pass?   Nothing to lower the cost of groceries or health care. Nope.   They pushed another anti-abortion bill to criminalize doctors and hurt women.   Says a lot about their priorities.
Vaccines save lives.      That’s not a question.  It is not a slogan. It is a FACT.      As one of the anti-vaccine movements loudest, proudest champions, RFK Jr. has no business leading HHS.
I pressed Trump's Secretary of the VA nominee, Doug Collins, on where he stands when it comes to women veterans getting the health care they need, including abortion care. The American people deserve to know where he stands.
The rollout of the VA's electronic health record system has been rushed, mishandled, and is a serious issue for veterans in Washington state. I made clear to Trump's VA Secretary nominee, Doug Collins, that fixing EHR must be a priority.
It’s a sad day for America when a President who refused to relinquish power and incited an insurrection returns to office years later only to grant violent criminals a Presidential pardon or commutation. I won't let President Trump paper over the reality of that dark day.
NEW: With a stroke of his pen, Donald Trump laid waste to the four-year effort to punish the peopel who stormed the Capitol in his name on Jan. 6, 2021. Among the 1,500 pardoned: People convicted of brutal assaults on police and seditious conspiracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Being tough on immigration does not require us to forsake our bedrock principles—like due process or our moral obligation to keep children safe—and it does not require us to ignore our common sense and waste crucial resources. I voted NO on the Laken Riley Act.
MLK Jr.'s vision of a more just and equal nation is something we must continue to work toward today and every day. He led a movement rooted in compassion and purpose—today we honor his memory and the way he changed America for the better.
Cecile Richards was a dear friend & invaluable partner in so many fights, from making sure the ACA covered birth control to keeping Planned Parenthood's doors open no matter what. She changed the conversation around women's health & was a fighter to the end. She will be missed.
Cecile Richards, the longtime activist for women's rights and former head of Planned Parenthood, died Monday after battling brain cancer.
