The FDA has sent warnings to several companies that kept baby formula on their shelves AFTER ByHeart products were recalled due to the ongoing infant botulism outbreak.
I am committed to getting to the bottom of what went wrong at these stores.

UPDATE: Next week on the House Floor, I plan to call up for debate my bipartisan resolution, H. Con. Res. 64.
The American people deserve a vote in Congress before Trump starts another endless war & U.S. troops are put in harm’s way in Venezuela.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
I’m partnering with Rep. Massie & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social to introduce a War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela.
No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.

Truly unbelievable
Republicans voted for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for the 1%, but they couldn't vote to protect 20 million Americans from seeing a doubling — on average — of their health care premiums.
Pathetic.

Whenever you read that the Trump Administration is withholding an HIV intervention from South Africa, replace “South Africa” with “adolescent girls and young women” because that’s the group most disproportionately affected.
The US decision not to give #lenacapavir to South Africa "undercuts its own stated mission," says AVAC's Mitchell Warren. Learn more in Bhekisisa's coverage here: bhekisisa.org/health-news-...

Those are words in my daily vocabulary. WTF
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.
Why?
Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.
Either way, you lose.
