RFK Jr.’s deranged effort to reshape childhood vaccination policy is going to get kids killed. I’m glad to see the courts block this effort.
BREAKING: All Kennedy vaccine changes and all ACIP decisions are blocked by a federal court, and the panel cannot meet as planned this week. @apoorvanyt.bsky.social “This is a significant victory for public health, evidence-based medicine," a lawyer for AAP said. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...
Today in Denver, I hosted community leaders on the frontlines of environmental justice — I’m working with them to protect our environment from big oil, corporate polluters, and an anti-science administration. Their stories drive my work in Congress to ensure the health and safety of our families.
Trump is spending $1 billion a day on a war in Iran that Congress never authorized and has no end in sight. That money should be spent on quality, affordable health care and housing — not fighting an illegal war that’s resulting in the death of brave service members. So I voted to stop it.
Families are struggling with rising costs. Trump’s answer is to launch an illegal war costing over $1 BILLION A DAY, as Republicans slash Medicaid and food stamps to fund tax breaks for billionaires. This is wrong. We need to prioritize working families in Denver — not a costly war in Iran.
Republicans killed the resolution, greenlighting the war and putting American servicemembers in harm’s way. Meanwhile, this war is costing at least $1 billion every day. That is billions of dollars that could go towards affordable health care and housing. I refuse to support this war.
The Constitution mandates the president must receive Congressional authorization before engaging in acts of war, except in very limited circumstances. To date, I have seen no evidence that there was an imminent threat against our country. I voted for the resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war.
Iran has been the largest state sponsor of terrorism globally and a significant destabilizing force in the Middle East for decades. However, that does not give Donald Trump the authority to launch a war of choice.
Donald Trump’s reckless war in Iran has put Americans across the Middle East in grave danger. I encourage all U.S. citizens in the region to review the latest Travel Advisories at travel.state.gov. Americans needing emergency consular assistance can call 24/7: +1-202-501-4444 (overseas).
Trump's illegal war is getting American servicemembers killed and causing gas prices to skyrocket. This week, I'm voting to END this war, just as the American people demand.
This past year, Trump and his Congressional allies have unleashed a torrent of attacks on our climate and democracy. I’m proud to earn 100% on @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard and will never stop fighting to defend our communities, democracy, environment, and clean energy progress. lcv.org/scorecard
March is Women's History Month. But this year, we're not just celebrating women's history — we're fighting to protect it. This administration is erasing women from our parks, museums, and national memory. I will not let that happen.
While the Iranian regime is a brutal autocracy that has oppressed the Iranian people, that alone does not give Trump the justification needed to launch a military operation of this magnitude without Congressional approval.
This is why Congressional authorization is urgently needed. I have cosponsored H.Con.Res. 38, the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution, on which Leader Jeffries has said he will force a vote this coming week. Congress must immediately return to Washington and reclaim its Constitutional authority.
This morning, Donald Trump illegally began a massive military operation against Iran without consulting Congress. During his State of the Union address earlier this week, President Trump made no attempt to explain why he felt military action was necessary at this time.
🚨Trump and his team are plotting to steal the midterms by creating a fake emergency because they know his policies are deeply unpopular. We can’t let it happen, and as a member of the Litigation Task Force, I’ll fight to stop this anti-democratic effort.
