“Do you think people who take anti-depressants are dangerous?" The answer is no. Another of RFK Jr’s fringe ideas. The HHS Secretary should be fighting the stigma around mental health not fanning the flames of conspiracy theories.
The American people are looking for some reassurance that the decisions they make about abortion are personal and private. It’s hard for me to respect people who won’t give me a straight answer.
Medicare and Medicaid aren’t the same thing - I’d think someone who wants to run our country’s health system should know that.
Tweet by Julie Rovner stating “RFKjr keeps talking about Medicaid premiums. Medicaid, with few exceptions, doesn't HAVE premiums.  (He's thinking of Medicare)”
Medicaid payments nationwide weren’t working yesterday. RFK Jr. is proving at this hearing that he doesn’t even understand the basics of the program. He’s a danger to American’s health.
Mifepristone HAS been studied over and over again and deemed safe and effective — that’s why it’s been approved for over two decades!
Tweet from Sam Stein that reads “RFK signals he would declare Mifepristone unsafe or at least open it up to studies that could result it in being declared unsafe.”
On top of the shitstorm that was the past 24 hours, Trump illegally gutted the NLRB. This move is a terrible sign of what’s to come. It emboldens his allies (who just happen to lead billion-dollar corporations) to line their pockets at the expense of their employees.
1/ Trump’s firing of Gwynne Wilcox, the first Black woman on the NLRB, is illegal and undermines workers' fundamental right to organize.
I’ve heard from community health centers in Minnesota who are already looking at layoffs by the end of the day. May not be able to make payroll at the end of the week. Republicans need to grow a spine here. This isn’t a game, it’s people’s lives.
This order is illegal, let's start there. It will be challenged in court. But not only that — it appears to halt funding for police departments, counter-terrorism, and counter drug-trafficking programs. This is making us unsafe.
Last week it got down to -35° in International Falls. Yet Donald Trump appears to have just halted the bipartisan program that keeps folks’ heat on through the winter. LIHEAP isn’t the *woke agenda.* It’s life or death for many Minnesotans.
This shouldn’t be controversial. Violent insurrectionists who assaulted police officers on J6 shouldn’t be let out of prison. Full stop.
It shouldn't be too much to ask for senators to oppose unconditional pardons for people found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers. I'm introducing a simple, one-line resolution condemning these pardons & will try to pass it on the Senate floor this week.
Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million who lost their lives and remind ourselves that we must stay vigilant in the fight against hate and discrimination today.
I’ve spent my years in the Senate working with anyone who wants to work with me to find ways to address the housing crisis. That won’t change.
I’ve written bills to end veterans’ homelessness. I’ve pushed to get more federal support for cities looking to cut red tape that hinders construction of more housing. I have bipartisan legislation to preserve affordable rural housing in small towns and Tribal communities.
50%+ of America’s renters are spending more than 30% of their income on rent. Every county in Minnesota has a shortage of affordable + available rental homes for extremely low-income households. The rate of homeowners spending 30%+ of their income on housing keeps going up.
I was just named top Democrat on the Housing Subcommittee in the Senate. Our country is facing a housing crisis, with supply falling dramatically behind demand. I’m determined to address it.
It seems that thanks to public pressure, the Trump Admin just backpedaled.   This was a mess that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I’m still hearing how hard this has been on Minnesota vets and their families. And a lot is still unclear.   This chaos was totally avoidable.
I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order. They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.
I’m still thinking about the blanket pardons that Trump gave to the January 6th rioters — even the ones who beat and assaulted police. On day one of his administration.
