U.S. Senate

This bill is nearly identical to the Senate bill I vetoed last month, as well as two other bills I have vetoed. These bills are overly broad, poorly drafted, and create the potential for substantial litigation.

It is unfair for biological males to compete in women’s sports, and as the mom of a daughter who competed in varsity sports in high school, I am pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision today that protects women’s sports and paves the way…

Family farmers deserve fair prices.

I expect that meeting to occur before I’m willing to vote out of this committee and I’m trying to get to ‘yes,’ but this is a very important part of getting to ‘yes,’

It’s better than nothing.

While there is much more that we must do to reduce the senior poverty rate in America and to make sure that every senior in America has access to the services they need this bi-partisan legislation is a very good step forward.

In fact, it costs less to feed a senior for an entire year through the Older Americans Act than it does for a senior to spend one night in a hospital.

Not only does the Older Americans Act save lives and ease human suffering, it saves money.

This legislation begins to pay attention to the urgent unmet needs of seniors in America and what we should do as a nation to reduce the senior poverty rate, prevent hunger, combat loneliness and isolation and improve the health and…

I’m delighted that the Senate unanimously passed legislation last night to expand and improve the Older Americans Act,

I urge DOD to flatly prohibit vertical integration in the next TRICARE pharmacy contract. A vertically integrated PBM has every incentive to line its own pockets, and DOD should not be using taxpayer dollars to fund these schemes.

If DOD and Express Scripts refuse to share this data, we can draw only one conclusion: the contract that DOD and Express Scripts want us to believe is so different is not so different after all.

That is a clear conflict of interest. And yet, DOD actually requires the TRICARE pharmacy contractor to own both a PBM and a pharmacy. I don’t know who talked them into that, but it is an open invitation for Express Scripts to milk the…

The consequences of losing access to your local pharmacy can be immeasurable. Think about veterans with complex medical needs, who rely on the personalized care from their local pharmacist – someone who will check for drug interactions…

Americans’ access to lifesaving medication should not rely on supply chains controlled by foreign countries. The Pharmaceutical Investment Oversight and Accountability Act would help shine a light on foreign influence in our drug supply…

America has let the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign entities quietly buy their way into our drug supply for too long, and it needs to end. Everything from manufacturing and ingredient suppliers to genomic sequencing technology is…

For years, I’ve sounded the alarm that our dependence on foreign-made pharmaceuticals puts Americans at risk. Securing this investigation is the first step in strengthening our drug supply chains and ensuring Americans always have access…

Trump’s FCC Chair is trying to illegally rewrite the rules to make it easier for billionaires to line their own pockets while jacking up costs and controlling what Americans watch. After rubber-stamping the Nexstar-Tegna megamerger, this…

The Supreme Court has lost the trust of the American people, and Justices accepting lavish gifts from wealthy individuals with business before the court has only made matters worse.

For years, conservative Supreme Court Justices have accepted expensive gifts and travel from their friends who have business before the Court. It’s unethical, and it’s why public trust in the Court has eroded.

Over the past several years, we’ve seen far too many reports detailing how lavish gifts and luxury travel have undermined public confidence in the Supreme Court,

But at a time when Americans are struggling to cover the cost of gas, health care, and groceries, we should not be spending billions on another endless war that endangers our Servicemembers and makes our country less safe.

I cannot vote to fund an illegal war with no justification, no set goal, and no exit strategy.

This President needs guardrails, not a blank check
