WYDEN: I would like it in writing that you will lock DOGE out of the Social Security databases.

BISIGNANO: I don't know what lock DOGE out means.

WYDEN: Stop them. It's a simple concept. When you lock someone out you stop them.

NEW: I'm heading to the Senate floor where I'm going to lead Democrats in holding the floor ahead of RFK Jr.'s confirmation vote. This is the most dangerous and unqualified nominee for HHS I've seen in my lifetime and I'm not giving up without a fight.

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country.

He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.

@wyden.senate.gov: Making Robert Kennedy Secretary of Health and Human Services would be a grave threat to the health of the American people. I urge my colleagues to vote no.

@wyden.senate.gov: Mr. Kennedy has given us no reason to believe he'll be anything other than a rubber stamp for plans to gut Medicaid and rip health care away from the American people, and a yes-man if ordered by Trump or Musk to take an illegal action.

@wyden.senate.gov: On abortion, Mr. Kennedy’s answers once again only raise more questions. He refused to tell us whether he would blindly follow a directive from Donald Trump to break the law and end access to mifepristone.

@wyden.senate.gov: Last week, Mr. Kennedy was given ample opportunity on a bipartisan basis to recant his decades-long career peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies. He gave no indication that that he would stand by the long-settled science surrounding routine vaccinations.

@wyden.senate.gov: A recent analysis showed that Mr. Kennedy has made 114 separate appearances in the last four years where he espoused anti-vaccine views or spread misinformation about vaccines. In 36 of those instances, Mr. Kennedy directly linked vaccines to autism.

@wyden.senate.gov: The last several days we’ve witnessed an authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They’ve set their sights on a full purge of anyone in government that doesn’t bend the knee and follow their orders.
