Americans & West Virginians deserve competent leadership at the @FDA who will take immediate action to address the drug epidemic that has killed more than 100,000 Americans in the last year. sen.gov/ZOPL
In March of last year, @SenatorHassan and I led 5 of our colleagues in calling on @POTUS to bring new leadership to the FDA to address this crisis that has been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. sen.gov/127X
Instead, President Biden nominated Dr. Califf, who has significant ties to the pharmaceutical industry, in November to serve as FDA Commissioner. I strongly opposed his nomination, which is an insult to those who have been impacted by the drug epidemic. sen.gov/23WQ
And when Dr. Califf appeared before the Senate HELP Committee, I made it clear that the FDA needs leadership who will institute a culture change, not continue to fail to keep Americans safe. sen.gov/3JQ7
It’s time the FDA had leadership willing to step forward to protect Americans from the drug epidemic that continues to ravage our nation. Dr. Califf is not that leader.
@Sen_JoeManchin It's time you stood for this country and revise the Senate rules to preserve voting rights. Republicans did it three times for SCOTUS nominations. There was no bipartisanship agreement then.
@Sen_JoeManchin At least someone is saying it. LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS. Stop the flow of fentanyl from China, and stop the violence in Mexico. Most importantly, stop people from buying poisened substances. Prohibition.Does.Not.Work.
@Sen_JoeManchin Let’s talk about price gouging by pharmaceutical companies. Let’s start with epi pens…
@Sen_JoeManchin Why don’t you step up and do something for Americans.
@Sen_JoeManchin We need to make investments using DARPA to manufacture superior non-addictive pain medication,will also be able to be used for our troops, the problem in the public is Americans are suffering painful ailments as we continue to be more productive,we allowed this out of foolishness
@Sen_JoeManchin FDA cannot stop drugs abuse it selfish self centered obsession behavior drug treatment an hope an promise of freedom of the disease of addiction
@Sen_JoeManchin Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? We need leadership that will not derail President Biden’s agenda.
@Sen_JoeManchin It’s time that West Virginians have a senator who protects their voting rights. So far @Sen_JoeManchin is not that senator.
@Sen_JoeManchin And it’s time that you, Senator Manchin, step up and vote for the Voters rights bill !
