Rep. Roy: "The kill switch puts the government and the corporate cronies in your car to track all of your activities and to surveil you. The Fourth Amendment and I oppose it. We are going to keep fighting for the civil liberties of Americans."

How FDA is Implementing Landmark Cosmetics Legislation
MoCRA expanded FDA’s authority over cosmetics and established new requirements for cosmetic companies and individuals who market cosmetics in the U.S.
This is Erin’s case - incredibly proud of her. Mifepristone sends 1 in 10 women who use it to the emergency room with life threatening conditions. Now it’s time for Congress to ban it completely for use in abortion
Holy pro-life guacamole. Enormous win for @AGLizMurrill against President Biden's attempts to remove almost all safety regulations from abortion pills. That means that nationwide, the old rules must snapback while the appeal was pending. Judge Duncan for a unanimous court.


The Fifth Circuit’s decision is more than just disappointing. It is a direct and serious attack on patients, their providers, and the very principle that people – not politicians and ideologues – should be in charge of their medical decisions. While I’ve signed into law the Vax Act to prevent bad actors in Washington from reversing decades of standard medical practice, this ruling reinstates medically unnecessary restrictions and affects every patient in every state in the country, including states like Maryland, where abortion is protected. https://t.co/URQZt4haHe

The House must follow the Senate’s lead and ban all members and their staffs from gambling on prediction markets. Americans did not send us to Washington to bet on their problems. They sent us to fix them. No betting on our budgets. No wagering on war. No gambling on government.
Chuck Schumer urges House and White House to follow Senate in prediction-market ban
1/3 of Americans live in Democrat-run sanctuary jurisdictions that: -Release killers back on the streets -Ignore federal immigration law -Knowingly put American lives in danger

May is Older Americans Month—and we’re making sure older adults have everything they need to keep sharing their energy and experience with their communities. Last year, I signed an Executive Order to make age-friendly policies a priority across state government. We’re working to make Massachusetts a place where people of all ages can live well — and to rethink what aging here looks like.


Dan will make one heck of a Congressman and I am proud to endorse him
Mr. President, @JoeBiden — I am honored to have your endorsement. You took on the toughest fights and delivered. We’re fighting to make Washington work for people again. Let’s Go.
The FDA is proud to honor our everyday champions — the dedicated men and women of this agency who show up every day to protect the health and well-being of all Americans. Happy #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek! This week, we'll be spotlighting the incredible people and programs that make FDA one of the most respected regulatory agencies in the world. #PSRW

Donald Trump says we can’t pay for health care because we’re fighting wars. The American people want us to focus on making things more affordable at home, not bombing countries overseas.

Very sad to hear of the passing of John Sterling, the voice of the Yankees from the late 80s, the 90s dynasty, all the way through 2024. He was the voice of summer for millions of Yankees fans. May John's memory be a blessing.
We are devastated to hear about the passing of John Sterling, a WFAN and Yankees radio icon whose voice was synonymous with an entire generation of Yankee fandom. Rest in peace, John ❤️

Being the party that will protect people from the worst of AI is the right thing to do and has the side benefit of being very politically advantageous.
That AI number is a big fat jump ball for Dems to seize

We are making real progress on digital asset market legislation and restoring confidence in our economy. @BankingGOP is nearing consensus, and is working toward a bipartisan markup in May to advance digital asset market structure.
Digital asset market structure legislation will make America the crypto capital of the world. Chairman @SenatorTimScott believes that faster, cheaper transactions help Americans keep more of their money and strengthen U.S. leadership in financial innovation.

When a devastated (he was crying like a baby!) Van Jones of CNN came to me with a group of African American leaders, he had “DEAD” in getting Criminal Justice Reform approved in Congress. Van Jones and these Black reps had been unsuccessfully fighting to get “Reform” for many years. He was just wasting everyone’s time - Needed 5 Conservative Senators - there was no chance, or even hope, for a win. I liked some of the people he was with, agreed with what they were saying, and quickly rounded up the votes needed to get CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM approved. It was NOT easy! Nobody else, including Obama, who tried to for years, could have done this! Now I watch this guy, Van Jones, every chance he gets, calling me a “Dictator,” and far worse. He should be ashamed of himself!!! President DJT
