We've all had to adapt to cope with a pandemic. Climate change will force far harsher changes on our kids. All of us should follow the young people who've led the efforts to protect our planet for generations, and demand more of our leaders at every level. https://t.co/uNueQl5bNX
Sen. Ed Markey is demanding an investigation after Rick Bright, a vaccine expert who had a top role fighting COVID-19, says he was forced out of his role for refusing to promote drugs backed by Trump. https://t.co/AfF8d7asTD
This #EarthDay, let’s recommit to doing everything in our power to combat climate change. That starts with voting Donald Trump out of the White House this November.
Statement of Dr. Rick Bright: “Yesterday, I was removed from my positions as the Director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response by the Administration and involuntarily transferred...
We all hope, again and again, that we’ve seen the worst this President has to offer.
And then he sinks lower.
If Trump is punishing scientists who insist our coronavirus response be based on science, not hype, he is putting more lives in danger.
Congress must find out.
This #EarthDay, let’s hold the Trump administration accountable for putting our planet at risk—and for using this pandemic as a cover to roll back the rules that keep our air and water clean.
Everybody “hopes” coronavirus doesn’t come back this Fall, or ever, but Americans deserve to know scientists’ view on the matter which is that it could. Facts trump feelings.
Today we announced a breakthrough in rapid, widespread testing of COVID-19. When Minnesota faces a challenge, we rise up—together. I’m proud to partner with Minnesota’s innovative research and health care systems to pioneer how states can begin to move forward amid COVID-19.
We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.
The Trump Administration promised 27 million tests by the end of March.
As of now, only 4 million have been completed. It’s unacceptable.
We can’t safely reopen the economy without scaling up testing, and we can’t effectively scale up testing unless Donald Trump does his job.
McConnell is fine bailing out companies that pay dividends and bonuses but he and the gang are gonna do everything they can to make sure that firefighters and teachers and state public health workers absolutely take it on the chin.
The fact that we're talking about testing in terms of tens of thousands—instead of tens of millions—means we're not on top of testing. We need to ramp it up.
If we’re only testing people with symptoms who make it to the hospital, then we are far from understanding this crisis.
To say “People will die, so be it” instead of a science & testing-based path to reopening the economy is deeply frivolous & wrong.
Every life is precious. Each death is heartbreaking — for a family & for a community. This is something we are all in together. #FamiliesFirst
I know this is hard.
I wish I could say this will be over soon, but I can’t.
We must make decisions based on the science and the data.
Human lives are at stake.
Now more than ever, we need the truth. And the truth is that Donald Trump dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and overcome a pandemic, resulting in unnecessary deaths and economic disaster.
The U.S. contributes more than any other country to WHO, at more than $400 million a year. Cutting off funds to the group will be a major blow to the organization as it conducts vaccine trials, distributes test kits and advises governments around the world https://t.co/O0lGheLNot
