There is nothing "pro-life" about reinstating a policy that, during Trump’s first term, undermined lifesaving public health work, caused widespread fear and confusion among health workers, & led to worse health outcomes and more unsafe abortions. 19thnews.org/2025/01/trum...
Republicans are already trying to make it easier for extremists to harass women getting reproductive health care—& Trump's pardons for anti-abortion extremists who forcefully obstructed women from seeking essential health care sends a dangerous message. apnews.com/article/abor...
Pete Hegseth wrote, "the other side—the Left—is not our friend. We are not ‘esteemed colleagues,’ nor mere political opponents. We are foes." Our servicemembers' uniforms don’t say Democrat or Republican. Someone who sees his fellow Americans as the enemy cannot lead our military.
In addition to having no real qualifications and many alarming positions, Pete Hegseth also has so many red flags that raise serious concerns about his character and conduct—and that make him unfit to lead our nation's military.
“I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles.”    “We need moms. But not in the military, especially in combat units.” These are infuriating, & disqualifying quotes from Pete Hegseth—and his recent about-face on women in the military is simply not convincing.
Pandemics do not recognize borders & preventing global outbreaks requires American-led coordination. Investing in the World Health Organization is about keeping AMERICA safe—Trump withdrawing the U.S. from it is dangerous. This is the opposite of putting America first—it's putting America at risk.
Public health experts warn that pulling out of WHO, which Trump attacked for its response to COVID-19, will leave Americans more vulnerable to health threats.
No Senator who believes Congress holds the power of the purse should vote for an OMB director like Russ Vought. I don't know how you justify supporting someone who will not respect the laws we pass or disburse the investments we as lawmakers have secured for our states.
Russ Vought is an extremist who's been clear he'll put everything on the chopping block, from programs people rely on like Medicaid & SNAP, to the checks & balances our democracy is founded on. He will rip away health care from kids to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires.
During the first week of Trump’s presidency, Republicans aren't rolling out a health care plan or telling us how they'll lower the cost of groceries—they are focused on attacking women, criminalizing doctors, and lying about abortion.
Trump's pick for budget director thinks Trump can hold up investments Congress has made in our communities. (He can't.) Let me be clear: letting the president pick & choose which parts of our spending laws to follow would destroy our ability to negotiate bills & get things done.
Today, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I want to be clear that Democrats will do everything we can to restore the right to abortion nationwide & keep fighting back against Republicans' anti-abortion, anti-woman extremism. They may be in charge, but we are not going anywhere.
BREAKING: Democrats just blocked Senate Republicans' extreme anti-abortion legislation to let the federal government override the judgment of families and create new, medically unnecessary barriers for doctors and patients to get reproductive health care.
NOW: Senate Republicans are trying to pass a cruel bill that not only misrepresents the hard and painful choices women face during a nonviable pregnancy—but it would create a dangerous new national anti-abortion government mandate.
ADM Linda Fagan was the first woman leader of a U.S. Military branch—she rightfully stood up for victims of sexual assault & bolstered recruitment for the Coast Guard. Trump's firing her for no real reason as far as I can tell. It's an outrage & bad for our military. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
In the first week of Trump taking office, want to know what bill Republicans want to try and pass?   Nothing to lower the cost of groceries or health care. Nope.   They pushed another anti-abortion bill to criminalize doctors and hurt women.   Says a lot about their priorities.
Vaccines save lives.      That’s not a question.  It is not a slogan. It is a FACT.      As one of the anti-vaccine movements loudest, proudest champions, RFK Jr. has no business leading HHS.
I pressed Trump's Secretary of the VA nominee, Doug Collins, on where he stands when it comes to women veterans getting the health care they need, including abortion care. The American people deserve to know where he stands.
