My colleagues and I wrote to the CEOs of 5 @PhRMA corps & demanded an explanation for the soaring cost of Rx drugs. All 5 companies benefited from huge GOP tax giveaways & publicly-funded research but continue to make drugs too unaffordable to use. Read our letter to @pfizer pic.twitter.com/SraWRV6yVc

In the U.S. 40% of our food goes to waste yet 50M Americans don’t have enough to eat. I've joined @RepMcGovern (D-MA), @RepDavidYoung (R-IA), @RepLynnJenkins (R-KS) to introduce a resolution that would designate Oct. 16, 2018 as #WorldFoodDay.
