Last night—I took to the Floor and joined a letter led by @trahan.house.gov demanding that Trump restore more than $2 billion in mental health and addiction recovery funding. Late last night, they reversed course, and funding will be restored. A small mercy and important victory, in a sea of chaos!

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
