A group of us just arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

🚨 #BREAKING @SenAlexPadilla tries to interrupt a press conference by @DHSgov Sec @KristiNoem and he’s forcibly removed.

RFK Jr. opened up a new front the week on his war against vaccine science, and it's going to get a lot of kids killed.

Let me tell you why his move to fire the ENTIRE federal vaccine advisory committee is maybe the most dangerous thing he's done yet.

Kennedy chose a clever time to sack the entire CDC vaccine advisory council of the nation's leading experts, while so much attention was focused on events in LA.
It deserves much deeper attention.

NEW: @FrankPallone and @RepKimSchrier, M.D. introduce the Family Vaccine Protection Act to take politics out of medicine and protect millions of moms and their kids. @SecKennedy has no business making medical decisions for American families.

'L Word' alums Leisha Hailey and Kate Moennig wrote the book on queer friendship...literally.

In their new dual memoir, the longtime costars and best friends reflect on their over two-decade bond and how "platonic love is incredibly powerful" in queer lives.

Donald Trump doesn't care if you or someone you love bleeds to death in a parking lot. Make sure your senators do.

FEMA is not currently on the ground in St. Louis. We are actively working with state and federal authorities to get FEMA resources, but it could take weeks.

In the meantime, please report any people claiming to be FEMA to the police.

We will share more info as we learn more.

Have you ever seen the HIV virus?🤔 Now you have! Public health officials are trying to stop this virus in its tracks by working together with volunteers and experts to create an HIV vaccine. Until we do, it is important to learn how to prevent infection and stop the stigma.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Good morning.

Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would throw 13M people off their insurance. All for a tax cut for the rich.

That’s the combined population of

West Virginia
Hawaii
New Hampshire
Maine
Montana
Rhode Island

Alaska
Vermont

Trump just shut down all the school mental health programs and neighborhood anti-violence programs funded by the 2022 gun bill. Millions of kids just lost their mental health worker or after school program.

It’s inhumane, illogical and illegal.

You need to hear this story.

BREAKING: Trump HHS posts ‘so-called report’ pushing conversion therapy & discrediting gender-affirming care https://t.co/mZzCtf0dFU

[Joe Kennedy III @joekennedy]

Let’s be clear: gender-affirming care saves lives. Their move to block it is a deliberate, ideological attack on trans youth — not science. It’s cruelty dressed up as policy. Kids will suffer.
