Cutting mental health support? C’mon. The 988 hotline saves lives and it is simply wrong for the Trump Administration to be putting it all at risk. www.cbsnews.com/news/samhsa-...

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are grinding lifesaving research into diseases like cancer to a halt — all so they can fund a tax break for themselves and their wealthy friends. This puts cures to diseases further away and I’ll fight back every way I can. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s...

Medicaid is a lifeline for 72 million Americans — putting health care within reach for the elderly, Americans with disabilities, and children. Last night, Republicans refused to protect Medicaid and moved one step closer to slashing its funding.

Republicans just shot down my amendment to ensure we don’t cut Medicaid and kick millions of seniors off of their healthcare.

Republicans say they aren’t cutting Medicaid, but their budget plan says otherwise. Tonight, the rubber meets the road. Will they cut Medicaid to fund their tax breaks for the wealthy, or stand with working families? I know where I stand. www.foxnews.com/politics/exc...

Ripping away health care from our most vulnerable families to fund tax breaks for their ultra-wealthy friends is not what the American people want. I have some questions for my colleagues and the American people deserve answers.

🚨ATTENTION! 🚨If you or someone you know is on Medicaid, you might want to tune into my press conference. STARTING SOON 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 www.youtube.com/live/JRsKg5p...

Today, the President endorsed BIG cuts to Medicaid and I’m fighting back. I won’t let seniors, veterans, children and SO many more have their health care ripped away.

We need to give working families some breathing room. My bill would do just that – taking on big drug companies and lowering the out-of-pocket costs of their prescription drugs.   Families want lower health care costs and that’s what I’m fighting for.

Eggs have reached $8/dozen. Families are squeezed at the checkout counter. Farmers and ranchers are hurting. The Trump administration needs to act fast to get this avian flu crisis under control. www.jsonline.com/story/news/2...

Families are scraping by to afford their lifesaving medications while big drug companies are raking in billions of dollars in profits. I’ve been fighting to bring down costs for families and my bill would do that by capping the price of prescription drugs. www.weau.com/2025/02/14/s...

#HappyPresidentsDay.

I’m all for making our government more efficient but firing nurses and pharmacists who keep families healthy, disease experts who protect us from the next pandemic, and scientists finding cures for cancer is not efficient — it’s dangerous. apnews.com/article/trum...

We weren’t kidding when we said they were coming after the Affordable Care Act. Here is step one of how they’ll rip away health care from your family. ⬇️ www.axios.com/2025/02/14/t...

We cannot and will not stand by while an unelected billionaire dismantles the Department of Education from the inside out and cuts funding for our schools. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/13/w...

Child care. Firefighters. Cops. Entire communities are still figuring out if this Administration is going to illegally cut their funding. We are fighting to make sure the President doesn’t take it from you.

Roses are red. ❤️ Violets are blue. 💙 Republicans are taking your health care from you! 💔

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have made it clear as day. They need to find room in the budget to give big corporations and their billionaire friends a tax break. And the American people are going to pay for it.

Americans deserve someone who follows the science – not conspiracy theories – when it comes to keeping our families safe and healthy. RFK, Jr. is not that person.

If President Trump thinks he can just ignore Congress and fund the programs he likes, does that mean he can just cut off Medicare in the Blue States? What about just funding the VA in Red States? This is not a Kingdom, there are three branches of government in this country.

Thank you all for the kind birthday wishes today! I’ll be celebrating by joining @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on the Last Word tonight. Be sure to tune in! 📺

Cutting the research to find cures for cancer and Alzheimer’s so they can cut taxes for billionaires. That’s their plan. You can bet I’m fighting back. madison.com/news/local/e...

I’ve spoken with Shanon and William directly, and their son Cole should still be with them. My heart still breaks for them but look, this should never happen. That’s why I’ve been fighting to hold major drug companies' feet to the fire and lower the cost of inhalers.

Cutting funding for cancer research won’t help families, it will hurt them and the progress we’ve made to find lifesaving cures. Make no mistake, slashing this critical funding will mean people won’t get the treatments they need and workers will lose their jobs.

Wall Street investors should not be paying LESS in taxes than Wisconsin firefighters, teachers, and small business owners. It’s as simple as that. My bill would close this tax loophole and ensure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share. civicmedia.us/news/2025/02...

Illegally cutting funding that families rely on for finding cures for diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes will have dire consequences. It means less hope for ending diseases that plague every family. People will likely be fired. This is wrong and we are fighting back.

Look, I have a very hard time believing the richest man in the world is fighting for hard-working Wisconsinites, not himself and his billionaire friends. He has no business accessing Americans' social security information. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...
