If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

1. The HHS Appropriations Bill is out and it contains several devastating anti-trans provision.
It would bar federal funding for trans youth and adult care nationwide, which could be used to bar hospitals from providing it at all.
Will Democrats stand firm, or cave to avoid a shutdown?

Measles continues to spread throughout the U.S., and we have the highest number of cases since it was declared eliminated in 2000.

NEWS: A federal appeals court ruling upheld the law I led to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. I submitted an amicus brief to the court arguing for the constitutionality of this law.
This is a major victory for seniors and affordable health care.

Check out the successful, happy countries with universal healthcare and strong social welfare systems. They prioritize education to improve their nation. Typically, educated people are more likely to accept science and often identify as atheists. Interesting, huh?

There is a lot of focus on Tylenol and autism spectrum disorder today, but RFK Jr. is also suggesting that low folate levels contribute.
First, a reminder that genetics are the overwhelming contributor to ASD—up to 90%.
Anything else he pulls out is likely to have minimal impact on ASD rates.

Alongside Tribal partners, we raised the flags of the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations on the Capitol Mall.
With these flags raised high, we’re honoring our government-to-government partnership and recognizing that our Indigenous neighbors are not in the past.
