On the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights across the country are no longer just being chipped away at – they are being bulldozed straight into the ground. I refuse to stand silently by and watch that happen. #Roe49 #RoevWade

Protecting reproductive rights has never been more important in our history than right now. We must fight for reproductive justice by protecting and expanding access to abortion, birth control, and all forms of reproductive health care and passing the ERA.

I’m proud to be one of the 8 in 10 Americans who support the legal right to abortion. That’s an overwhelming majority of our country, and it’s time to act like it with concrete actions to safeguard this right. It’s time to #PassWHPA and #PassERA.

8:30 AM: Arrive at Capitol early on the advice of the US Capitol Police. I’m joined by two staffers and am prepared to stay until we complete the job we came to do — certifying the free and fair results of the election despite Trump's Big Lie.

9:30 AM: Join Democratic Caucus call to discuss the various possible objections to state certifications. We were prepared for every possible procedural maneuver House and Senate Republicans might have tried.

⁓ 10:00 AM: Head down to the Capitol Post Office to mail some items to my district office. I’m informed that they are not making deliveries due to the expected protests. Things are calm at the moment with reduced staff and no planned business other than the certification vote.

@OversightDems

For nearly 3 years a dedicated team of staff on @OversightDems has been investigating Big Pharma’s pricing and business practices.

Today we're releasing our final report. Everything you need to know about how Big Pharma abuses our system for profit at the expense of patients👇

The companies we investigated raised prices 250+ times on the 12 drugs examined during the time they've marketed them.

Those drugs are now priced at a median of almost 500% ⬆️ than when they came to market.

Mallinckrodt’s drug H.P. Acthar is 𝟭𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬%⬆️THAN AT LAUNCH 2/

Net prices—prices after accounting for rebates and other discounts—of nearly all of the drugs ⬆️ year over year.

This data, which hasn't been public before, undermines Big Pharma's claims that price increases are primarily due to, and offset by, rebates and discounts. 3/

Tonight, I voted against the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

I cannot support continuing to explode the Pentagon’s budget above what is necessary and even asked for by POTUS, especially as legislation to help Americans recovering from the pandemic languishes.

While this bill includes many positive reforms, like those to address sexual harassment and assault in the military, it also excludes much needed changes, like giving DC control over its own National Guard and stopping the transfer of military weapons to local law enforcement.

The spending increase above and beyond the President’s budget request is even more unacceptable in the wake of the Government Accountability Office’s report this year detailing how the Department of Defense is still failing to identify and fight fraud in defense contracts.

@HouseDemocrats

🚨BREAKING: @HouseDemocrats JUST PASSED @POTUS’s #BUILDBACKBETTER ACT!

Investing in our nation’s infrastructure means not just funding bridges and roads, but also addressing climate change and creating a care economy that lifts children out of poverty and supports working families.

The BBB Act will be the most life-changing investment in families in generations, bettering the lives of millions of children, saving parents thousands of dollars, and adding two years of free, universal schooling to our education system for the first time in over 100 years.
