The clock is ticking— we have 11 days left before folks start to feel the real impacts of Republicans’ health care crisis.

@wyden.senate.gov and I introduced a bill to keep that from happening in the short term and make long-term fixes to bring down costs.

There’s no time to waste.

There is blood on the hands of Donald Trump, RFK, and every Republican who has allowed this sham to go on for far too long. When kids die unnecessarily and once-eradicated diseases darken the doors of terrified families and pediatricians, Americans will know who is responsible.
Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

Just a few weeks ago, my bipartisan Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act passed the U.S. Senate unanimously.

Yesterday, I visited St. Albans City School to celebrate with students and farmers. We’re one step closer to bringing milk from our local farms into our schools!

This Friday, time is up: Trump must release more of the Epstein Files.

How much more obstruction will this administration attempt? And which creeps are they trying to protect?

Today, one of Hong Kong's strongest pro-democracy advocates, Jimmy Lai, was convicted of sedition under the China's draconian National Security Law.

If this Admin truly stands for free speech, it must enforce my Hong Kong Autonomy Act to hold Beijing accountable for this sham conviction.
Hong Kong court convicts pro-democracy newspaper founder Jimmy Lai
The landmark case exemplifies the way Beijing, through Hong Kong’s national security law, has swept away any last remaining press freedoms and judicial independence in the city.

Good for @repilhan.bsky.social for standing up to Trump’s bullying. While she stands tall, Trump, as always, makes himself look so small.

Trump called her ‘garbage.’ Rep. Ilhan Omar says she remains unfazed.
“There’s this creepy obsession that he seems to have on me that just feels pretty obnoxious,” the Minnesota Democrat said of the president.

A holiday dagger at the heart of veteran health care—Collins’ cuts will stretch thinner a staff already struggling with rising workloads. Saying positions are open is no excuse for failing to fill them—many mission critical jobs. It leads to longer wait times, less responsive care.
VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs
Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

Deeply saddened by the news coming out of Brown University. My heart is with the victims, survivors, & their loved ones. Congress finally—finally—must come together & act with commonsense measures to help stop the scourge of gun violence.

At least two people at Brown University were killed Saturday and nine others were injured in critical but stable condition, police said. No one is in custody.

I was devastated to hear about the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Rob is a generational talent that used his voice to advocate for a better world. We live in a better country because of them. They will be missed.

Last night at Brown, students were studying for their last exams, excited to return home to reunite with their family and friends, their lives were forever altered by gun violence. We must do better for each other and not allow our futures to be dictated by the gun industry.

Zero vaccines are “injected directly into the bloodstream”

Approved vaccines are:
• Intramuscular

• Intranasal

No approved vaccines are administered intravenously.

Hope that helps 🙃
