Trump claims he made a bunch of deals with Big Pharma to lower drug prices. Now he is asking Congress to codify these deals.
There is only one problem. They refuse to tell Congress exactly what is in these deals.
Democrats are not going to rubber stamp Trump's shady drug deals.
WATCH LIVE: Secretary Kenny testifies before the House Committee on Education and Workforce. ⤵️
Since taking charge of HHS, he has recklessly undermined confidence in vaccines and public health institutions, and Americans are paying the price.

This heartbreaking situation is a painful reminder that mental health challenges and personal crises, when left unaddressed, can have devastating and irreparable consequences. Seeking help must be encouraged, supported, and free of stigma.
I am shocked and saddened by this senseless and horrific tragedy. I am praying for the entire Fairfax family and their loved ones, most especially Justin and Cerina’s children.
I confronted Trump’s OMB Director about the Big Ugly Bill adding $4T to the deficit.
I also asked him if the Trump Administration intended to leave a better budget deficit than the one they inherited from the Biden Administration.
His response (or lack thereof) is telling.

Thank you Rear Admiral Vann, for your service during your term and welcome to Hampton Roads, Rear Admiral Merchant
Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans promised to lower costs on day one.
The Trump Tariffs, the Big Ugly Bill, and Trump’s reckless war in Iran have driven up prices and spiked inflation.
Glad to see Virginia taking action.
Raising the minimum wage is good for workers, good for business, and good for the economy.

Statement from House Democratic Leadership on Donald Trump's threat to kill a whole civilization.
The Joint Chiefs and all military personnel must be aware they can be held accountable long into the future for war crimes that are committed in the present.
More information can be found here: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
The president has engaged in activities that experts are describing as war crimes in Iran and other parts of the world over the past few months. Republicans in Congress have refused to rein him in, and earlier today he threatened to obliterate the Iranian people.
Genocide is a war crime.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
