    In Congress, I helped pass the Affordable Care Act. As California's Attorney General, I defended it. As Secretary of Health and Human Services, I will build on our progress and ensure every American has access to quality, affordable health care—through this pandemic and beyond.

    I’m honored and humbled by today’s vote in the Senate. Thank you. I’m ready to get to work at @HHSGov.

    Betsy DeVos tried to illegally siphon pandemic relief funds away from public schools and divert them to wealthy private schools. We took her to court — and we just permanently blocked her illegal actions. wzzm13.com/article/news/l…

    We just finished oral arguments at the Supreme Court to defend the entire Affordable Care Act. The ACA saves lives. It is the law of the land. It is legal. We are confident the Supreme Court will agree. #ProtectOurCare #ACA

    Trump is no "law and order" president. I've had to sue him over 100 times because he keeps breaking our laws.

    As Secretary of Health and Human Services, I empowered scientists to ensure vaccines were safe for Americans. RFK Jr. just fired those same scientists. His anti-vaccine stance is unbecoming of the office he holds.

    Now it's our turn to build up and to back up our health care workers battling the coronavirus. Our turn to restore faith and confidence in our leaders to deliver solutions that unite and heal us. And we will build a nation where health care is a right—not a privilege.

    I worked alongside the three leading scientists at the CDC who resigned tonight. They were essential public health leaders who helped our country get out of the pandemic. Politicians don’t do science well. It is dangerous to put politics over public health. People will die.

    “How can we make your life better?” That is the role we have at HHS. Our mission is to help you stay healthy, be well, and know you are going to have the health care you need.

    His name is Alex Padilla — the first Latino to ever represent our great state in the U.S. Senate — but you knew that, didn’t you?

    My faith has been my North Star throughout my career in public service. It teaches me to give back and care for others — especially the poor and marginalized. I believe it’s our duty to give the most of ourselves to our community.

    Nine years ago today, @BarackObama signed the #AffordableCareAct into law –– bringing affordable care to millions of Americans. In Congress, I helped draft the ACA. As California’s attorney general, I now fight to defend it.

    Donald Trump’s demands for a $1B ransom payment from UCLA is the next frontier in his lawless assault on higher education. I call on university leaders to stand strong. Capitulating to authoritarian threats is never the answer. Because we know he won’t stop here.

    This behavior is what you would see in Russia, not in the United States of America. The Trump Administration's treatment of Senator Padilla must be called out and condemned for what it is: another step toward complete authoritarianism.

    Really strange times we’re in. Senator Alex Padilla physically restrained and forcibly removed for trying to ask questions
