RFK Jr. continues to politicize medicine and wage war on vaccines. He fired 17 medical experts that advise our nation on vaccines so he can stack the panel with a bunch of anti-vaccine wackos. It’s dangerous to Americans, especially kids, and erodes trust in public health institutions.

Donald Trump doesn't even believe his own lies about mail-in voting. But that isn't stopping him from pushing legislation like the "SAVE America Act" to make it harder for you to vote and hold him accountable.

Sec. Buttigieg: Most Americans agree with us that the government should be doing more and not less to make sure you can get health care, and that you can afford it. That means expanding Medicaid and expanding the Affordable Care Act — not tearing it down.

More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.
