We’ve all seen reports of rising measles cases, and we need answers. The CDC needs to be transparent on the numbers and do its job to keep us safe.
The CDC acknowledges that one measles death has occurred so far in 2026 but provides no clarity about who died or where. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

The AI race is out of control and our president is rambling on about how we talk about it. Call it whatever you want, but we need to start taking these threats seriously.
Trump: "Artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now, hereinafter officially called 'super intelligence.' Changing the name. The use of the word 'artificial' makes intelligence fake, it makes it sound fake, and it is not fake — it is, actually, amazing…Welcome to the new world of super intelligence, dash, S.I."

'1984' was supposed to be a dystopian cautionary tale. This administration is treating it like a blueprint.

BLUNT ROCHESTER: You were in the Oval Office when Trump signed the EO calling for splitting up the MMR vaccine into three separate shots. It's been reported you provided a list of options to the president. You thought that was a good one? OVERTON: I enjoyed our meeting BR: It's just a yes or no. You think that was a good option? OVERTON: My job is to provide options to him BR: But you wouldn't have provided a bad option, right? OVERTON: My current job is to deliver to the president BR: I thought this was the easy question!

It was a pleasure to celebrate Senator Barbara Mikulski’s 90th birthday today. From Baltimore’s neighborhoods to the halls of Congress, Barbara has been a tireless champion for working families and an inspiration to generations of women in public service.

.@SenLBR urged the public to pressure Congress on AI regulation, citing “serious” concerns about public safety at POLITICO’s Policy Outlook: Housing Affordability. “Now I know we came here to talk about housing, but let me tell you, we won't need housing if we're not here," she told @politico's @vtg2. “As fast as this technology is iterating and getting smarter and smarter and faster and faster, a kill switch will be obsolete in a year or two."

Democrat @SenLBR said Congress needs to pursue a second housing bill focused on demand. “ROAD 2.0 should also be about demand,” she told our @vtg2 at @POLITICOLive’s policy chat. “We have a lot of folks that can't afford the rent.”👇

Trump is attacking the free press because they're reporting the truth he doesn't want you to know: he's failing the American people.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico sued President Donald Trump’s administration after they were barred from covering the White House, saying the selective ban was “a blatant violation” of the First Amendment. Follow live updates. apnews.com/live/trump-cnn-ms…

Republicans control the House and the Senate – if they wanted, we could be taking action to respond to these alarming escalations right now. Instead, House Republicans are headed home. In this moment that requires real leadership, they're abandoning ship.
A bug-hunting independent security research team used Anthropic’s Claude software to gain access to an OpenAI employee’s ChatGPT account, giving them a way to read and suggest changes to the company’s private cache of software. on.wsj.com/4h8vaBP

While RFK Jr.'s been shouting "Make America Healthy Again" from the rooftops, over 160 foods have been recalled so far this year. There’s nothing healthy about food-borne illness.

Families shouldn’t have to pick and choose how to cover the care they need. My Medicare Cost Cap Act will lower seniors’ out-of-pocket costs, but we need to do more to make affordable healthcare a reality for all of us.
Most Americans can expect to pay significantly more each month for health insurance next year, whether they get it through work, the Affordable Care Act or Medicare. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

This President is burning billions of OUR taxpayer dollars on an illegal war, he's also the reason our costs keep climbing. Trump's failure in Iran is costing us critical defense infrastructure and pushing prices higher every day. Our country can't afford any more of this.
A new CBO report estimates that the Iran war has directly cost the U.S. $38.1 billion so far. washingtonsun.com/defense/cb…
