The courts continue to stand up to Trump’s illegal actions, uphold our Constitution, and throw out these overtly political cases.
Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department is a real threat to our democracy, and it must end now.

I was heartbroken reading Tatiana Schlossberg’s personal experience battling her cancer diagnosis.
I admire her courage and wisdom, and I’m proud of her for continuing the Kennedy family’s legacy of leadership and of turning adversity into advocacy.

House Republicans just returned from a seven-week taxpayer-funded recess, and instead of doing anything to lower costs, they are wasting time and money on this pointless resolution.

Thanks to Donald Trump and RFK Jr., our ability to get new and innovative drugs approved has been significantly eroded.
Their assault on science is going to have lasting consequences on biomedical innovation. We were once the gold standard, but now they are throwing away our global leadership.

RFK Jr. is lying to the American people. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Period. His lies are a threat to public health, and he should resign immediately.
I will continue to call out his blatant lies as Americans are losing faith in our government to provide trustworthy, science-based information.

After an 8-week taxpayer funded vacation to avoid voting on the Epstein files, House Republicans finally had to face the music.
I voted YES because Epstein’s victims deserve justice, and his accomplices must be held accountable for their heinous crimes.

House Republicans were on vacation for over 7 weeks while health care costs skyrocketed.
They refused to even entertain fixing the crisis they created, and are now jamming through a funding bill that does nothing to lower health care costs. I’m not just a no, I’m a HELL NO!

Democrats have a simple solution to lower health care costs: extend the ACA premium support. I just signed a discharge petition to force a vote on that extension.
Meanwhile, it seems Republicans are content with letting health care costs spike while they form “concepts” of a plan.

Jessica from Denver lost her $650/month SNAP benefits because of the Republican shutdown, and is now stretching to feed her family of 8.
The Trump administration is deliberately choosing not to fund SNAP, and families like Jessica’s are paying the price.

Spent this morning with my staff at the Food Bank of the Rockies Mobile Pantry helping distribute food.
Thanks to the Republican-forced shutdown, SNAP benefits have been in limbo as Trump fights tooth and nail against releasing the benefits to those in need. SNAP must be restored immediately.

Courts are blocking his abuses.
Last night, citizens showed up.
Now, Congress must act.
It's time for Congressional Republicans to help us reopen the government and lower health care costs.

Instead of working with Democrats to reopen the government, Trump is withholding full SNAP benefits from millions of Americans, while House Republicans are on a 6-week vacation. (1/2)
