The @US_FDA is working around the clock to push out more COVID-19 tests & treatments. @PattyMurray & I want to know how the FDA is tracking the quality, safety, & effectiveness of those products without political pressure from the President. politico.com/newsletters/po…
Trump cares more about what his Mar-a-Lago cronies say than the advice of public health experts. He recklessly peddled a COVID-19 miracle cure before scientists finished their work & fired the top expert who called him out. His priorities should not influence the @US_FDA.
Our country is facing its worst health emergency in a century, & the @US_FDA must take extraordinary measures. But we must have peace of mind that the FDA’s decisions about tests & treatments are being driven by science & data, not by the most corrupt President in history.

The federal government has the power to investigate police departments with a history of discriminatory policing. But racist former AG Jeff Sessions took away @TheJusticeDept’s tools to force those police departments to reform. We can change that.
I’m introducing a bill to:
❌ Reverse the Trump admin’s limits on the use of consent decrees – and then expand them
❌ Empower state AGs to pursue their own investigations into discriminatory policing
❌ Triple DOJ's @CivilRights funding to allow it to pursue these cases
There is no easy fix for the systemic racism in our policing and justice systems. But if the Trump administration won’t do everything in its power to hold police departments accountable when officers use excessive force and kill Black Americans, then Congress should make them.

Last night’s attacks on peaceful protesters near the White House demanding justice for George Floyd were appalling. Trump acted more like a wannabe authoritarian than Commander in Chief. Here’s some of the things I’ve been working on today to hold this administration accountable:
Secretary @EsperDoD and CJCS Milley need to testify before the Senate immediately. The American people deserve to understand what role the @DeptofDefense played in the Lafayette Square attacks on protesters just so Trump could have a photo-op.
I’ve asked the @DoD_IG to conduct an immediate investigation into the role of @DeptofDefense civilian and military officials at protests in Washington DC and other cities throughout the country.

COVID-19 is clearly a grave danger to workers’ health. So it’s mind-boggling that @OSHA_DOL’s inspections & citations plummeted in the crisis. I’ve requested @DOLOIG investigate whether OSHA failed to meet its legal requirement to protect workplace safety. huffpost.com/entry/senate-d…
@USDOL should have issued an OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID-19 months ago – enforceable workplace safety rules for the pandemic. It refused. Workers are dying from COVID-19 & @OSHA_DOL claims emergency safety standards to protect workers wouldn’t help. Unbelievable.
I’m going to keep fighting for my Essential Workers Bill of Rights, & @SenatorBaldwin & @SenDuckworth’s bill to make @OSHA_DOL issue an ETS for COVID-19. But @USDOL already has power right now to help protect American workers. @DOLOIG should explain why they’re failing to use it.
