On one hand, the U.S. could continue to support global health programs that save lives and reduce the spread of disease to America.
But on the other hand, President Trump would rather give tax cuts to billionaires, so the Senate is about to vote to gut these lifesaving programs.

So President Trump thinks supporting shows like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers is a bad use of funding but giving massive tax breaks to billionaires is a good idea?

Because of the Big Beautiful Bill, some patients can’t use their Medicare plans to receive birth control, annual checkups, or cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood locations and many other nonprofits providing primary care.
President Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to revoke funding from over 1,500 local media stations, hurting public broadcasting in every state.
It would be a betrayal to every community. America relies on local media.
A 20-year-old American was just beaten to death by a mob of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
President Trump revoked President Biden's sanctions against violent settlers on his first day in office.
Congress should pass my bill to codify the Biden sanctions into law.
I believe it is time for Secretary Noem to resign or for her to be fired.

We just got new numbers on inflation:
The price of food is up.
The price of household supplies is up.
The price of appliances is up.
The price of clothing is up.
The price of toys is up.
Working families can't afford President Trump's policies.
Under Secretary Noem’s watch, FEMA instituted a new policy that requires her signature on any new expenses more than $100,000. That includes search and rescue teams.
She confirmed it would take “a minimum of five days” for review.
In a disaster, you don’t have five days.
Secretary Noem has suggested she and President Trump want to eliminate FEMA altogether rather than reform it.
We can’t have a leader in charge of FEMA that is committed to its destruction.
In her short tenure, Secretary Noem has overstepped, under-performed, and endangered the lives of countless Americans.
Today, I’m calling on her to resign or be fired.
President Trump has made it clear from the moment he took office that he would attempt to use the power of the presidency to go after his political opponents.
His obvious lies are a disturbing attack on our democracy.
I stand with Senator Schiff.
There’re many ways that public broadcasting improves our society. Taking funding away from public media will have serious safety consequences and hurt our communities.
This week, President Trump and Republicans in Congress are attempting to revoke over $1 billion in funding for public broadcasting, including millions from Vermont.
Our local public media played an essential role, circulating updated safety guidance in the midst of the floods and sharing recovery resources in the aftermath.
For so many Vermonters, the floods were terrifying. People need safety guidance in a constantly shifting emergency and there’re many recovery resources that are hard to find once the flood water recedes.
