If chronic disease is an existential threat to our nation, why is RFK Jr. slashing research programs that could help of millions of Americans treat and prevent these very diseases? You can't solve a crisis by destroying the tools needed to fight it.

Trump is making decisions about the economy like he’s deciding what he wants for lunch. American families are going to pay the price.
Today at 12:30pm, @marshablackburntn.bsky.social and I are reintroducing the NO FAKES Act to protect artists and everyday Americans alike from unauthorized AI replicas. We’ll be livestreaming it on www.youtube.com/@senatorchri.... Make sure to tune in!
Every $1 in NIH funding generates $2.56 in economic activity, and more than 408,000 jobs depend on NIH research grants. We're setting ourselves up to lose the brightest American minds while China rolls out the welcome mat for them. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...
The YMCA’s Youth in Government program is proof that the next generation is intelligent, passionate, and engaged. Our future is in great hands.
Ask the 70 million Americans who rely on Social Security what they think of it, and they’ll tell you it’s vital lifeline. Ask Elon Musk what he thinks of it, and he’ll tell you it’s a Ponzi Scheme—a fraud.
Congress has a constitutional role to play in strengthening our economy and protecting our national security from President Trump’s policies. My Democratic colleagues and I continue to work to fulfill that role, and I hope that soon, enough senators on both sides of the aisle will do so.
Time and again tonight, Senate Republicans were given the opportunity to take a stand against these disastrous tariffs and in favor of protecting Social Security. Time and again they refused.
Trump’s tariff policies have unleashed a national economic crisis, and tonight we saw Senate Republicans’ solution: slashing Social Security and Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.
I'm about to speak on the Senate floor about this disastrous GOP budget resolution and the Trump-Musk plan to slash Social Security.

I agree with @repdonbacon.bsky.social. If we let Putin redraw borders by force, we show China and Iran they can do the same, and food and energy prices will skyrocket. Standing with Ukraine is standing for America's interests. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/o...
Discussing classified information on unsecured channels puts our security and our servicemembers at risk. That’s why I joined my fellow Senate Democrats in calling on AG Bondi to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the Trump admin's security breach. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Democrats are clear: we can focus on the Trump administration’s security failures and still hold them accountable for trying to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
The Supreme Court has unanimously held that government officials can't punish private organizations they dislike for speech they disagree with. Trump's attacks on law firms are unconstitutional, and our nations' biggest law firms shouldn't bend to a bully.

I'm glad that the Pentagon's independent inspector general is investigating this, but it's clear this administration's use of Signal to discuss sensitive information goes far beyond @DeptofDefense. That's why I've called on multiple IG's to start similar investigations as well.
Social Security isn't a giveaway—you've earned it, just like your parents and grandparents. I'll keep defending Social Security so you get the benefits you’re owed.
When you take away funds from the nation's largest provider of STI testing, safe abortion care, and reproductive health care, you're not protecting women and girls. You're putting their lives at risk. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
Choosing between protecting Social Security for older Americans or cutting it like Elon Musk and Mike Johnson want to do to pay for tax breaks for billionaires isn’t an economic choice. It’s a moral choice.
Today isn't Liberation Day. It's Tax Day. And American families and small businesses will have to pay every penny of it.
“Please cancel the contracts [even though] our improper payments will go up, and fraudsters may compromise identities…”
This is damning. DOGE isn’t finding or eliminating waste and fraud at the Social Security Administration.
They’re creating it. www.huffpost.com/entry/janet-...
