It requires real money. It requires new mandatory funding for the NIH.

The most effective work for keeping Americans safe does not happen when the cameras are rolling and the world is focused on the latest outbreak.

The way I see this, Congress is strangling medical research.

But Congress does not show the same interest in taking steps before these crises occur to make sure that our country is actually prepared when disasters strike.

I am very hopeful that here in Congress we can put the politics aside and work together to ensure that we do provide much needed tools and support.

Families' health and safety should not be a zero sum game.

Democrats are going to continue urging bipartisan work to ensure women everywhere have the ability to plan their pregnancies, especially in light of this virus.

I believe it is critical that in Zika-affected countries we do everything we can to ensure women have access to the full range of reproductive health care, including access to family planning services.

Congress entrusted this responsibility to the Department to make sure that when the States receive billions of taxpayer dollars to improve education for our most vulnerable kids that those States actually use that money for our most…

Democrats in Congress along with the President fought hard to ensure that the new law includes real accountability.
