In 2007, I staffed Senate hearings on the need to negotiate prescription drug prices under Medicare. It’s been one of the most popular and requested policies for decades. Today, in 2022, @POTUS announced a historic deal that will ensure affordable medicine for America’s seniors.
Head of the American Medical Assocation: “For physicians and patients alike, this is a frightening and fraught time, with new, unprecedented concerns about data privacy, access to contraception, and even when to begin lifesaving care.”
.@VP yesterday visited @CENTCOM and @USSOCOM and highlighted that our military is the strongest and the best fighting force in the world, advancing our national security interests and defending the international rules-based order

We cannot allow our nation to live in fear of gun violence anymore. The Senate must pass commonsense gun laws and protect the people of this country. The time for change is now.

In remembrance of today’s tragic milestone, I’ve ordered the United States flag to be flown at half-staff in memory of the one million American lives lost to COVID-19.
NEW: @VP on the threats to Roe: “What we are seeing around this country are extremist Republican leaders who want to punish & criminalize women who want to make decisions about their own body.”
Happy Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Our Administration will continue to fight to make sure that all members of the Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander community have the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson made history today. Judge Jackson is a hero to so many Americans across our country. She will be the first Black woman on the highest court in the land.
Madam @VP, the first Black woman to serve as Vice President of the United States presided over the vote to confirm the first Black woman Supreme Court justice.
Making Herstory.

Right now, reproductive rights are under attack in states across our nation. The Oklahoma legislature advanced a shameful bill that would prohibit almost all abortions if put into effect. If signed, this bill will only prevent women from getting the health care they need.
Amazing to hear presidential historian @BeschlossDC put this interview in Mississippi between @VP and @JoyAnnReid in the full context of our nation’s history.
.@JoyAnnReid: "This Black woman holds the second most powerful office in this country. She is vice president of the United States. That is her plane... She had a staff of young and older, she had people of color, she had women... It was beautiful to me." #TheReidOut
