It sounds like a lot of people had to smack some sense into Prasad & RFK Jr. to stop them from upending vaccine approval with NO basis in science.
But serious damage has been done. Who's going to invest in new vaccines if a conspiracy theorist can block even a review on a whim?

I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration.
Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.
19,000 fewer people signed up for health care on Washington's marketplace this year—with thousands more seeing their premiums skyrocket.
This is a direct result of Republicans CHOOSING to let health care costs increase so they could fund tax breaks for their billionaire friends.
I secured $1M to help Asian American seniors navigate federal programs like Medicare through a helpline that assists with translation services.
Always proud to support @napca.bsky.social and glad I could join their Lunar New Year celebration! 🧧🐴
Stopped by ChuMinh Tofu in Little Saigon for a coffee and to hear from small business owner, Tanya.
Happy Lunar New Year, Washington state! In the year of the Horse, let's be sure to shop local and support small business. 🧧🎇🏮🔥🐴
Trump wanted to slash housing funding and kick millions of families out of their homes. I said absolutely NOT and actually INCREASED funding for housing.
Today I visited Little Saigon Low Income Housing Institute to discuss how we can keep building more affordable housing and bring costs DOWN.
We need to rein in ICE and CBP.
We need to call out the avalanche of lies.
And most importantly, we need to stand up for our communities—because they are being terrorized by their own government.
The American people are demanding Congress meet this moment.
In this moment it’s incumbent on all of us to force a change using our voices and our votes.
I’m relieved Wilmer has been released but the fact is there are countless others who have been brutally and needlessly detained by DHS whose stories we don’t know.
I won’t abide by a government that can inflict this kind of terror on American citizens and peaceful residents with impunity.
The Trump administration withdrew a rule to make sure the products YOU use every day—like makeup and skincare—are tested for cancer-causing asbestos. Is this Making America Healthy Again??
Happy Presidents Day, America! 🇺🇸
George Washington's birthday is a great reminder of his steadfast belief in our democracy and the rule of the PEOPLE. Not a king.
Black history is a core part of American history—you cannot have one without the other.
While we celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black Americans this month, we also have to be clear-eyed about the hard work ahead to truly make our country fair and equal for all.
How many people have to be murdered by ICE and CBP agents in cold blood until Republicans join Democrats to stop the tyranny and lawlessness?
Vaccines are safe & effective—and the fact that our nation's top health official won't say that is ludicrous.
These numbers are a direct result of RFK Jr. & his anti-vax conspiracy theories, and it's putting Americans' health at risk.
Trump still saying he won the 2020 election is more than just a deranged old guy with a bruised ego yelling about how he didn’t actually lose. Trump is the President, and what he says matters.
He is trying to normalize election denial, and we cannot let that happen.
If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.
The Trump administration wasn't just blindly zeroing out spreadsheets of foreign aid money—they were upending decades of critical, lifesaving work abroad with life and death consequences.
From trying to coverup the Epstein files to abandoning workers being harassed at work, Trump is using the federal government to protect abusers.
@pressley.house.gov & I are fighting back with our Be HEARD Act—legislation to protect workers from harassment & discrimination.
So appreciated being able to hear from everyone at @seattlechildrens.org, UW, and @fredhutch.org today.
The research that NIH funds here & across the country delivers real breakthroughs, yes. But also hope for patients and kids like Camden.
I'll always fight to protect funding for that hope.
Instead of cutting cancer and Alzheimer’s research by nearly half like Trump wanted—I secured a more than $415 million increase to fund NIH and lifesaving medical research.
I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one and that's exactly what I did.
