Republicans handed Big Pharma a win by exempting cancer drugs families need from Medicare negotiations in their tax law.
I asked RFK Jr. why he supported that law despite claiming to take on Big Pharma, but he doesn't know the basics about his own agency enough to answer.

DACA protects people who were brought to this country as children and gives them the stability they need to continue contributing to our communities.
It's time for the Trump Admin. to stop wrongfully targeting DACA recipients.
New name, still cuts Medicaid.
Veterans could face longer and longer waits for health care and benefits services as a result of the mass-firings at the VA. But when I asked the Trump Admin. for a plan to prevent our veterans from being harmed by their reckless actions, they were silent.
I just finished a delicious lunch at Gritz Cafe and had the chance to speak with the owner, Trina Jiles, about her business. She is an incredible entrepreneur and Las Vegas leader that has made Gritz Cafe into a pillar of the Historic Westside, and I'm excited to come back again soon!
Pres. Trump’s economic policies are leaving American families struggling. This attempted illegal firing of Lisa Cook is going to make it worse. The independence of the Federal Reserve is absolutely critical for our country and our economy, and I look forward to this action being challenged in court.
Millions of American kids could lose their school lunches while Donald Trump and his billionaire friends get a tax break. That's what Senate Republicans voted for.
My Stop the Scammers Act would protect and reward whistleblowers who come forward to report violations of consumer protection laws. This is about fighting fraud and protecting Nevada consumers, and I'm working to get it passed.
These cuts to food assistance will make it harder for our churches and food banks to meet the needs of our communities in Nevada, and could lead to students missing out on their school lunches too.
Our children deserve better than these cuts to fund billionaire tax breaks.
The President doesn't like the jobs numbers his policies have caused, so he fired the person in charge of collecting the data.
Donald Trump sticking his head in the sand won't change the fact that Nevada workers are hurting, and he doesn't have a plan to fix it.
This is what the Republican tax law will do here in Nevada.
Hundreds of thousands of Nevadans, including children and seniors, could go hungry so billionaires can get a tax break.
We should be celebrating 60 years of Medicaid today. Instead, I was on the floor of the Senate sharing the story of a Nevada family worried that Republicans' Medicaid cuts could push their daughter off her coverage.
These cuts to Nevadans' health care are cruel and un-American.
Pres. Trump claims to support Dreamers, but we know that's a lie.
He killed bipartisan legislation for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, and now his admin. is using cruel tactics to pressure DACA recipients to leave the only country they've ever known.

Hospitals here in Nevada could be forced to raise costs on everyone, reduce services, or even close entirely as a result of the GOP Medicaid cuts.
The President promised to "cherish Medicaid." Instead, he and his Republican allies voted to gut it.

Working parents shouldn't have to choose between keeping their jobs and taking care of their kids.
That's why I'm working on legislation to lower the cost of child care in Nevada and support working families.

It's a simple question: are tariffs a tax?
The families in Nevada that are having to pay more for their everyday needs know the answer is yes.
But Donald Trump's Treasury appointees don't have the courage to stand up to the President and tell the truth to the American people.
Senate Republicans chose to let kids and seniors in Nevada go hungry so they could give out more tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.
The cost of child care is soaring. But instead of working to lower those costs, Senate Republicans passed tax cuts for billionaires.
So I joined my colleagues to reintroduce the Child Care for Working Families Act that focuses on bringing down those costs for middle-class families.
At this very moment while Republicans are trying to gut public broadcasting, Alaska public radio is helping Alaskans stay safe from an earthquake that hit just minutes ago.
If you care about our communities’ safety, call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the GOP cuts.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is essential for keeping families informed about natural disasters, evacuations, and safety measures that save lives in Nevada.
I'm pushing to stop the Republican cuts that could put our communities at risk.
