No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and affording their medication.
I reintroduced the SMART Prices Act with @welch.senate.gov and 25 of our colleagues to expand Medicare’s power to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, & save taxpayers money.

UPDATE: The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

Perhaps distracted by the Qatar jet scandal or the clearly unconstitutional Executive Order on birthright citizenship
While hundreds of immigrants rot in El Salvadoran because the Trump administration violated their due process rights

Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S.
This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.

The Constitution is clear, Congress must consent to gifts from foreign countries.
Without consent, it’s a bribe, even if it’s out in the open. Bribery is impeachable.
Make sure Congress understands! It’s not up to them, it’s up to us!

If ICE agents in the US are ever held to account for their actions (seizing people without due process, etc.), “I was just following orders” didn’t work at the Nuremberg trials either.
