Tomorrow, the nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Dave Weldon, will appear before the Senate HELP Committee. I’ll have the opportunity to question him about protecting Americans’ public health and safety. What should I ask him?

We need to save our health care. I voted NO on RFK Jr. I will vote NO on FDA Commissioner. I will vote NO on NIH Director. I will vote NO on all of Trump's nominees. And I will vote NO on a funding bill that is nothing more than a giveaway to Elon Musk and Republicans.

Zeldin and Trump are spreading lies in a last-ditch effort to terminate the climate bank because the truth is it will help households save money and deploy clean energy - exactly what Big Oil is afraid of.

Homophobic, antisemitic, racist Mel Gibson abused girlfriend - broke 2 teeth, gave her black eye & threatened her w gun while she ws holding a child. He plead ‘no contest’ to charges & lost gun rights. Mel’s buddy Trump ordered Mel’s gun rights restored. DOGE official objected & was fired. Ugh

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

Trump hugged the flag, then stabbed veterans in the back. Cutting 80,000 VA jobs won’t improve services-it’s a betrayal of those who served. Veterans kept their promise, why won’t he? Read more: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/betrayed-a...

Chef José Andrés is right. I had the opportunity to visit his World Central Kitchen operations where they help to prepare millions of meals for Ukranian refugees. Ukraine has only borne more devastation since. Elon Musk and Donald Trump must stop bowing down to Putin and get real.

First Musk and DOGE cut nuclear safety workers and then have to rehire them. Now, they cut programs that help stop a nuclear bomb in Iran. Musk is taking a chainsaw to US national security and has no idea what he is doing. Musk is a national security threat. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/s...

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

NEW: Perkins Coie has hired Williams & Connolly to fight Trump's executive order targeting Perkins. There had been concern in the legal community about whether major law firms would shy away from the fight out of fear of incurring Trump's wrath. But Williams & Connolly is considered formidable.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Trump and Zeldin are trying to claw back climate bank money for their billionaire friends. Their attacks on the climate bank and Citibank's subsequent funding freeze are jeopardizing jobs, energy bills, and climate resilience for Americans nationwide. This funding must resume immediately.
