26 years ago, we eradicated measles. Now, this year alone, there have been over 4,000 cases, 40+ outbreaks, and people have died. RFK Jr.'s anti-vax rhetoric & conspiracy theories have consequences. He must resign NOW. Vaccines are safe & effective. Period.
Trump is STILL using your tax dollars to pay for this propaganda — even after promising to pay for these ads himself. Every single dollar spent on this BS campaign is a dollar that could be going toward lowering your costs. It must end, NOW.
This propaganda should have never been paid for with taxpayer dollars.   Every single dollar stolen must be repaid to the American people. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
New @nytimes.com reporting shows US Embassy officials in Israel are blocking info from Congress on the killings of Americans in the West Bank. I'm calling on Senator Risch & the Foreign Relations Committee to hold a hearing into this coverup. The American people deserve the truth.
Once again, an independent watchdog found the Trump admin illegally withheld funds, including ~$80 million intended for the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality here in MD. Congress must re-appropriate these funds & make clear we will not tolerate these illegal cuts.
Julián Curo-Churata, a 47-year-old father of 2 from Laurel, MD, died in ICE custody last month. Julián was the 37th person to die in ICE detention in the past year. There must be a full independent investigation into his death. Not another dime for this lawlessness.
Laurel father and husband died in ICE custody in Louisiana
The war in Sudan has created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. From rampant sexual violence to the use of chemical weapons, it's time for all of us to stand up and stop this humanitarian catastrophe that's happening on our watch.
For over 20 years, civilians in Afghanistan risked their lives to help us. The bipartisan Special Immigrant Visa program was a promise & a recognition of their service.   By dismantling this program, Trump is breaking that promise & sending many of these allies back into harm's way.
While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone. We'll keep fighting this political persecution.
Last week, Azerbaijani anti-corruption advocate Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu was finally allowed to get the medical care he desperately needs & has been denied for years. Meanwhile, the bogus charges against him remain. The Aliyev govt must immediately & unconditionally drop all charges.
Today marks 3 years since anti-corruption activist & economics professor, Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, was arrested & detained on politically motivated charges in Azerbaijan.   Despite his deteriorating health, the Aliyev govt has denied him access to the life-saving care he needs. (1/2)
More corruption. During her time as DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem gave over $900 MILLION in contracts to companies led by one of her political donors. This included the purchase of multiple luxury jets well above market value.   Every penny of their corruption must be investigated.
Around the country, Americans are fighting back to ensure that big polluters pay for the harm they cause. 

SCOTUS should hold polluters accountable & Congress should pass my Polluters Pay bill to make Big Oil pay for their climate mess, not you.  www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
After Trump's pool guy screwed up the reflecting pool renovation, Trump tried to frame a Marylander, David Hearn. Yesterday, justice won & a judge barred the admin from bringing more baseless charges against him. Now the Trump admin should be held accountable.
The Egyptian govt has arrested & disappeared 6 journalists, with zero justification — the largest crackdown in years. Journalism is not a crime. The Egyptian govt must disclose their locations, provide access to their legal rights, & release all six immediately.
