I’m horrified by the recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem that killed six civilians. Violence aimed at civilians is always unacceptable, evil, and must be condemned by all. This cycle of horror must end for the sake of the hostages and the innocent families in Gaza.
Today, we remember the thousands of innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. We also honor the first responders, doctors, and everyday heroes who saved lives and helped our country heal. Their service reminds us of the strength of America. We will never forget.
Right now, President Trump is using the D.C. National Guard for an expensive political stunt instead of focusing on the issues people care about. That’s why I joined @vanhollen.senate.gov's bill to end his power grab and give D.C. control over their National Guard and police department.
This is what happens when we have a Health and Human Services Secretary who undermines the importance of vaccines during a growing measles outbreak and the rise of a new COVID-19 strain. This isn’t making America healthy, it’s moving us toward a health crisis.
The Florida Surgeon General said that his team did not need to do any studies on the effects of removing state vaccine mandates before making his public appeal.
In states across the country, Republicans are trying to gerrymander Democrats out of their seats. President Trump is trying to ban mail-in voting and block people from voting. It’s a coordinated effort to sabotage the votes of the American public.
Looking Latino and speaking Spanish are not reasons for the police to stop and interrogate you. This ruling from the Supreme Court is a disgrace and goes against our core American values.
The Government Accountability Office reviews government spending to save taxpayer dollars. The agency is sounding the alarm on waste, fraud, and abuse from the Trump Administration. It's no wonder Trump officials want to scrap it; they don't want accountability. www.axios.com/2025/09/03/r...
Secretary Kennedy has wrongly accused my fellow Democrats of being shills for Big Pharma. After his hearing today, I went down to the Senate Floor to offer a bill that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs. Republicans blocked it. Talk is cheap.
Former CDC directors from every White House of both parties since the Carter Administration are warning that Secretary Kennedy is doing more harm to public health than we’ve ever seen. They’re warning us about his dangerous, anti-science agenda.
“We served under multiple Republican and Democratic administrations—every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump—alongside thousands of dedicated staff members who shared our commitment to saving lives and improving health... 
  
...What the health and human services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has done to the C.D.C. and to our nation’s public health system over the past several months—culminating in his decision to fire Susan Monarez as C.D.C. director days ago—is unlike anything we had ever seen at the agency and unlike anything our country had ever experienced. 
   
...This is unacceptable, and it should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings.”

—Nine bipartisan former CDC Directors, New York Times
