Today, Americans pay two to three times what citizens of other countries pay for prescription drugs—that's unacceptable.
Democrats passed the #InflationReductionAct to finally allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, and bring down costs for 5-7 million beneficiaries.
My colleagues and I are calling on the @TheJusticeDept to conduct a full investigation on the West Texas shooting that left 1 migrant dead and 1 injured. This was a racially motivated attack, and it must be condemned before more innocent lives are lost.

We are tackling our opioid, behavioral health, homelessness, and public safety issues head-on. As someone who has lost a loved one to the fentanyl crisis, this fight is personal. That’s why I helped secure $18 million for NM-01 to address these challenges.
