This has maybe been the most uninformed and dangerous “health” press conference held by the U.S. government in my lifetime.   Don’t listen to Trump or RFK Jr. when it comes to vaccines, Tylenol, or anything having to do with your health—talk to your doctor.   My god.
Breaking News: In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies. nyti.ms/46OqOvD
It's the first day of fall, and Trump is celebrating by taxing YOUR morning cup of coffee by an average of almost 15%. Leaves might be falling, but thanks to this reckless trade war, coffee prices are rising. It's time Republicans join Democrats to END these idiotic tariffs.
Here's the President publicly pressuring the Attorney General to appoint someone who will charge his political enemies with a made-up crime because he said so. Republican leaders are content to just look away. It's on the rest of us to shine a harsh spotlight on this corruption.
Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”
Compromise is a very basic principle every American understands. If Republicans “don’t bother” working with Democrats just because Trump said so, it will be a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Republicans control the House, Senate, & White House—the American people will know who to blame.
Republicans had a chance to stop YOUR health care premiums from going up—they chose to skip town instead.   Now, health care costs are going to skyrocket—by as much as 21% in WA state alone.   Democrats are doing everything we can to force Republicans to address this crisis.
ICE is detaining pregnant women who pose no threat to the public and putting them and their babies at risk. I've introduced a bill to help, but we need to keep pushing for accountability and shining a spotlight on human rights abuses. That's why I'm pressing for answers NOW.
Republicans just voted AGAINST a bill Democrats wrote to fund the government and also fix the GOP health care crisis. Now Republicans are LEAVING TOWN instead of working with us to lower health care costs and stop hospitals from closing. Make sure everyone knows it.
Every Senator had a simple choice today: vote for a bill to responsibly fund the government AND address the GOP health care crisis. Republicans chose to sit on their hands, OR NOT EVEN SHOW UP, rather than lift a finger to address the health care crisis they themselves created.
BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis THEY created. Republicans voted to send premiums skyrocketing and to shut down rural hospitals.
Republicans say they want to address rising health care costs, just not right now. So WHEN? Premiums are already spiking, and hospitals are already closing. Well, Democrats are FORCING the conversation. Let's fund the government AND fix the Republican health care crisis.
Good morning, it's a great day for Republicans to choose to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis they themselves created. No one wants a shutdown but Donald Trump. Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and keep hospitals from closing.
Free speech is under attack in America. But there are more of us who believe in free speech than there are authoritarian Trump cronies. So speak up. Your voice really does matter. It's what Trump is most afraid of. That's why he's desperate to silence critics.
NEW: I'm calling on the Inspector General to investigate the chaos at CDC and how RFK Jr. is restricting access to vaccines. America deserves answers, so I'm pushing for real oversight. But the bottom line? The best thing Trump could do is FIRE RFK Jr. right now.
I asked the former CDC Director & CDC Chief Medical Officer if parents should trust the recommendations of the former CDC vaccine advisory board. Short answer? Yes. Could parents trust the recommendations from RFK Jr's newly installed vaccine skeptics? Not so much. Fire RFK Jr.
Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air. He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone. Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.
Today, @delauro.house.gov and I are introducing a short-term CR to keep the government funded, address the health care crisis Republicans have single-handedly created, and protect Congress’ power of the purse. There's no need for a Republican shutdown.
Murray, DeLauro introduce bill to PREVENT REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN: "While Republicans push America to the brink of a shutdown, Democrats are ready to negotiate a bipartisan CR and government funding bills that actually help working people—not just billionaires—and protect people’s health care."
