As of this afternoon, all three of the leading insulin producers in America have agreed to substantially reduce their prices, following my calls to expand my $35 cap for seniors to all Americans. Sanofi is the latest company to recognize that charging hundreds of dollars for insulin that costs $10 to produce is just wrong, especially when the lives of so many children, parents, and grandparents depend on it. My administration is working every day to bring working people and families more breathing room, and we won’t stop. Congress should still pass legislation to ensure everybody can get insulin for…

Today, in Des Moines, Iowa, Vice President Kamala Harris convened state legislators, health care providers, advocates, students, and other leaders to discuss the fight to protect reproductive rights. The Vice President’s event follows attacks on reproductive rights at the national and state level, which are endangering women’s lives and have repercussions beyond reproductive health care. The Vice President thanked the participants for their leadership fighting on the frontlines for reproductive health care. The Vice President emphasized that politicians should not interfere with a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions with her doctors.

Wade. The Vice President outlined how abortion bans are an attack on the right to basic…

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest.

The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) Intercontinental ballistic missile test. This launch is a flagrant violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. While U.S. INDOPACOM has assessed it did not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel, or territory, or to our allies, this launch needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region. It only demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs over the well-being of its people. We urge all countries to condemn these violations and call on the…

University of Nevada-Las VegasLas Vegas, Nevada 12:07 P.M. PDT THE PRESIDENT:  Is there a doctor?  Is there a doctor in the house?  (Laughter.)  Are there nurses in the house?  (Applause.)  Where are the nurses? Now, look, I’ve been a significant consumer of healthcare — my family has.  Doctors let you live.  Nurses, male or female, make you want to live.  (Laughter.)  No, I’m serious.  The single most underrated profession in America are nurses.  (Applause.)  Nurses.  I mean it. Let me begin by — by thanking the president of this great university of allowing me to — Oh, take a seat…
