The work HHS does—or in this case stops doing—has life and death consequences. It is not some political game. I will keep sounding the alarm about Trump & RFK Jr.'s real threat to our families.
Not only is Trump still championing the violent insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol Police—but just this week, President Trump speculated about compensating people who committed crimes on January 6th with YOUR taxpayer dollars!
You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t take Republicans seriously when they make this big show about law and order in defense of Tesla when, at the same time, they are letting Trump stab law enforcement in the back—pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers.
It doesn't take a genius to understand that pushing out 20,000 health workers won’t make Americans healthier. The next time we are underprepared for a deadly pandemic, remember it was thanks to the Measles President, Donald Trump, who decided to hollow out our health agencies.
Breaking news: The Department of Health and Human Services is cutting nearly a quarter of its workforce and consolidating several of its departments, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday.
Yes, the information in the Signal group chat was classified. Yes, this could have put our servicemembers in harm’s way. No, Hegseth and Waltz have not learned their lesson. And no, they are not capable of continuing to serve in their roles. They need to RESIGN.
Public pressure works—yes even on the Trump administration. We need to get them to scrap this awful policy altogether. Seniors deserve to be able to talk to a REAL PERSON over the phone to get the benefits they're entitled to. Let's keep fighting to protect Social Security!
BREAKING: The Social Security Administration said it would postpone controversial changes to phone service and partially relax new rules on identity verification
Trump & Musk are tossing life-saving research into the shredder—and the consequences will be devastating for treatment for childhood cancers, a cure for Alzheimer's, and so much more. Does cutting off cancer research make sense to anyone?
Today I spoke with Laura who's worked at Social Security for 30+ years to help people get their hard-earned benefits—but she's leaving because of the nonstop attacks on the Social Security workforce by Musk. By driving out people like Laura, Elon is breaking Social Security.
@emd.wa.gov does essential work to keep the people of WA state safe when disaster strikes. I met with the Director to hear firsthand how Trump's illegal freeze on federal funding is undermining the agency's critical work.
Senator Murray is on the right, sitting at the end of a rectangle wood table with her arms crossed. She's looking to her left at a man who is sitting with his side and back to the camera.
Secretary Hegseth put classified military plans into an unsecured group chat with a random journalist, putting the lives of our servicemembers at risk, & then he LIED about it. Pete Hegseth must RESIGN. Michael Waltz must RESIGN. They cannot be trusted to keep America safe.
BREAKING from The Atlantic: Editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg has released the Signal war plans text thread: Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump's Advisers Shared on Signal. tinyurl.com/f4f6mnb8
We need an FDA Commissioner who will put science over politics to protect the health and safety of all Americans. That means opposing far-right efforts to restrict safe & effective medication abortion—at minimum. I voted NO on Dr. Makary to lead the FDA.
Oh good! While Trump & Elon cut lifesaving research, they’re going to put our very limited federal resources towards studying the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism. These people are doing less CANCER RESEARCH to waste your taxpayer dollars on total bunk.
Women are paid 75 cents on the dollar compared to men—and it's even worse for black and Latina women. And it’s not just a few cents at stake. This injustice compounds over time, robbing women of huge, life-changing amounts of money over the course of their careers.
This administration is taking a wrecking ball to cutting-edge medical research and innovation—destroying lifesaving cures for cancer, Alzheimer's, and more Dr. Bhattacharya will not protect NIH research from Elon & Trump. I voted NO.
My former preschool students could follow instructions better than our country's top national security officials—AND they'd know to be honest and apologize for their mistakes.   But this isn't preschool—it's our national security, and the lives of our servicemembers are at risk.
Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content
I met with leaders from Coulee Medical Center—which serves remote, rural communities in eastern WA. House Republicans' plans to gut Medicaid would have devastating consequences for rural providers and patients—and I will do everything I can to fight back.
Senator Murray is standing at the end of a large wood, rectangle table with her arms resting on a black leather chair in front of her. There are two people seated at the table on the left and three on the right. Everyone has their backs to the camera and is facing the Senator.
Freezing Title X funding that helps women get cancer screenings, birth control & pregnancy tests, STI treatment, and more is ILLEGAL and will put women's lives at risk. Trump & Elon don't care how many women suffer from their deranged mission to attack anything they deem DEI.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars designated for certain family planning organizations, including Planned Parenthood, while their DEI efforts are examined
Republicans are firing Social Security workers and pushing staff to leave en masse. Republicans are shuttering SSA offices across the country. Republicans are jamming up the phone lines and wait times. All of this is just another way of cutting Social Security benefits.
