It’s outrageous for MAGA extremists to intimidate pharmacies into refusing to dispense a medication that FDA deemed safe & effective over two decades ago — and @Walgreens should not pander to them. Pharmacy chains like CVS, Rite Aid, and others must not make the same mistake. https://t.co/gHKMTh8kjN

Important action by @NewYorkStateAG. Giant corporations have been hiding behind inflation to jack up prices for consumers and increase their profit margins. I've long called for a crackdown on price gouging and Congress should step up, too. https://t.co/zyzW3J9Vgm

1 in 5 senior federal employees owns stock in companies that are actively lobbying their federal agencies. @RepJayapal and I are calling on independent watchdogs to review ethics rules to identify and avoid potential conflicts of interests. https://t.co/IkjU2y1IFA

More than 6 million seniors are enrolled in Medigap plans sold by insurers shamelessly offering agents trips to places like St. Thomas, the Bahamas, Maui, Los Cabos, Aruba, and cash bonuses. This is outrageous. And it needs to stop. https://t.co/32PtNwLiOq

I just released a new investigation about how giant insurance companies are putting profits over seniors—offering agents lavish vacations to steer beneficiaries into more expensive Medigap plans. I'm urging @CMSGov & @naic to act so seniors aren't scammed. https://t.co/mtItUKK6m7

Last year, @SenBooker, @RonWyden and I raised concerns about mental health apps, including @BetterHelp, providing consumers' private info to Big Tech companies. I've long been troubled about misuse of personal data & glad @FTC is taking action to hold these companies accountable. https://t.co/1W9VdvRTIh

.@SenSchumer is right: Republicans' hypocritical resolution to nullify @USDOL's ESG rule ties investors' hands & would force their extremist views on investors. Thankfully, @POTUS will veto to protect retirees' freedom to invest savings where they want. https://t.co/E57sg5X6tM
