Speaking at a Senate committee hearing with @CDCDirector, @HHS_ASH, and @PHEgov about President Trump's failed leadership and damaging political interference in the COVID-19 pandemic response. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Since the beginning of this crisis, President Trump has been spreading inaccuracies & outright lies, and recklessly interfering with the work of our public health agencies for political benefit—showing a dangerous disregard for truth, facts, science, & people's lives.

A reminder for my Republican colleagues: You cannot be for science if you aren’t against political interference.

Republicans haven't engaged in serious negotiating or offered serious proposals for additional COVID-19 aid—but this crisis is deadly serious. It's long past time they work with Democrats to support our communities and stop the Trump Administration's political meddling.

We must come together to take action now, before we lose any more time to save lives and prevent costly mistakes.
