Trump's FDA nominee refused to say whether she believes contraception, like an IUD, constitutes abortion.
WHAT!?
We need an FDA commissioner who believes in science, not an anti-abortion extremist. Every Senator should vote NO.

Donald Trump’s administration falsely labeled birth control as “abortion.” And then they wanted to LITERALLY set millions of dollars' worth of contraception on FIRE.
Contraception is under attack, too. We’ve got to speak up and fight back.
The same guy who has said our country can't afford child care or health care because we have to fund wars has spent at LEAST $43 BILLION of your tax dollars on his war with Iran.
I voted to END Trump's war with Iran—Republicans voted to keep it going.

I voted to END Trump's war with Iran.
IUDs are NOT abortion. A vote for Overton is a vote to install an anti-abortion extremist to be in charge of keeping our food and medicine safe.
I'm voting NO.
"Paid for by the US Government" just means paid for at the expense of American taxpayers.
Trump is setting your tax dollars on fire for ILLEGAL political propaganda.
Trump and far-right extremists are coming after birth control.
And I'm not just fighting back—I'm pushing FORWARD with legislation that would require insurance to cover ALL FDA-approved forms of contraception. No fees. No hurdles. No out-of-pocket costs.
This is a real thing: Trump falsely labeled contraception as “abortion.”
And then he wanted to light it on fire. A Senate Democratic majority will protect your birth control, not burn it.

🚨The Trump admin let $8 MILLION of birth control expire in a warehouse instead of delivering it to women and girls who need it. Today, we're joining Senator @murray.senate.gov and fellow advocates to demand answers and fight for contraception access.

Trump has blown TENS OF BILLIONS of your tax dollars on his forever war with Iran.
The American people did not want this. End the war NOW.
ICE agents used excessive force to detain Luis Ochoa, an American citizen and teenager, on his way to enlist in the Marines. When his mom spoke out, they DEPORTED her.
We cannot get numb to these sick fear tactics. Use your voice & your vote to force a CHANGE!
We need smart, GLOBAL AI safety guardrails to protect our kids, jobs, and futures.
Instead of focusing on lavish dinners, Trump needs to focus on negotiations. I'm calling on him to take this threat seriously and work out real AI safeguards with China.
NIH funding doesn't belong to Donald Trump—it belongs to the patients and families waiting for the next medical breakthrough.
We cannot let Trump politicize federal research grants and give right-wing extremists a veto over lifesaving work.
SPEAK UP FOR SCIENCE.
This isn't about fraud. It's about kicking people off their health insurance which will drive up prices for everyone.
The GOP health care plan is—and has always been—to destroy Obamacare.
Trump forced out more than 8,000 Social Security staffers and is trying to claim it's working better than ever.
So I talked with folks outside the Social Security office in Seattle, and guess what? Trump's lying.
In the middle of an illegal war and skyrocketing prices, House Republicans decided to pack it up until after the election.
Democrats can’t force Republicans to get back to work, but you CAN change Congress with your voice and your vote.
We know exactly how we got here: Republicans passed the single largest cut to health care in history and blocked every Democratic effort to extend the ACA tax credits.
Trump and Republicans would rather give tax breaks to billionaires than help families afford health care.
Women are half the population, and yet the majority of physicians have NO training on how to treat women with menopause.
I talked to Dr. Rachel Rubin and Dr. Kelly Casperson about how women are demanding better, and why Congress should PASS my bill to invest in menopause research & training.
Freedom of the press isn't optional.
It is a core pillar of our democracy—and it's our duty to stand up and defend it.
No, Trump's vanity "Arch" has nothing to do with national security.
No, the taxpayer should not fund it.
