What Congress is doing legislatively: Appropriations bill to address funding needs to move product quickly to shelves + DeLauro intro'ing bill this week calling for new requirements and authorities for the FDA — PolitiTweet.org

@hbottemiller She also gave you a shoutout on the call for being the reporter at the forefront of covering this. (We are all grateful for and in awe of your reporting! 👏🏻) — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

CBS was the only national press outlet on the call. I asked DeLauro how a formula shortage can possibly happen in the US. She said the industry is too consolidated and if one goes under, there isn't anything in its place. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Formula Shortage: Just wrapped a press call with Rep. Rosa DeLauro, whose subcommittee overseas the FDA. She says both Abbott and the FDA need to be held accountable: Abbott knowingly sold contaminated product + FDA also knew and dragged its feet in telling the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Good reporting debunking Republicans’ claim. Also, can’t believe this needs to be said, but: babies at the border deserve to be fed. — PolitiTweet.org

And it's especially not free if you don't have paid leave. (Not to mention all the expenses and resources required for nursing + the value of a mother's time, pain threshold, and mental health.) — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

A reminder that breastfeeding is NOT FREE & not an answer to the formula shortage. As a mom who struggled to produce enough to feed my baby, paid for multiple lactation consultants to no avail, saw a therapist bc I felt such intense guilt about it, formula was a literal lifeline. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Pence’s endorsement is also significant because last year, he came to GA to campaign for Perdue and Loeffler in the Senate runoff, urging voters to turn out and vote as the last line of defense against a Democratic senate. Contrast that to Trump’s message there at the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Pence will be in Georgia to campaign for Kemp on the eve of the primary: — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

The Georgia GOP gubernatorial contest is now a proxy war between Pence (backing Kemp) and Trump (backing Perdue). So far, the dynamics of the race signal Pence ahead on this one. — PolitiTweet.org

@oliverdarcy This is not at all a comment on the politics of her tweet, but the photo on the right, from what I can tell, is the Similac brand which has been recalled. — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, the formula shortage has been going on for several weeks, if not longer. Didn't just spring up yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

"Need to address it now." The House is holding a hearing...in two weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

FORMULA SHORTAGE: Rep. Stefanik, who has an 8 month old baby, holding a presser this morning. Later today, POTUS will today speak with formula retailers and manufacturers. E&C Committee says it's an urgent issue, yet isn't holding a hearing on it for another two weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

The sense I got talking to Democratic lawmakers today is there is no plan going forward other than to make this a midterm election issue. There isn't support among Dems for the Murkowski-Collins proposal, even as they claim they will do everything to codify Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

In his first year in office, Biden's judges have been confirmed at a swifter pace than his five most recent predecessors. https://t.co/J4MRMCIDUJ — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

To be clear, the Murkowski/Collins bill wouldn't get enough votes to clear a filibuster. But these bills are all messaging bills anyway. And so far, most Democrats are not considering this legislation. Collins told me Schumer has not reached out to her on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

My convos with Democratic Senators today: We will do everything we can to protect abortion rights. What about Murkowski/Collins bill? No. Doesn't go far enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

I just spoke with Joe Manchin about the vote: "I just want to make sure people know: 70 percent of the people in America basically support codifying Roe v Wade the way we've had it for 50 years of precedent...why shouldn't we just have a clean vote?...and let's move with that." — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Democratic senators I’ve been talking to today say the Murkowski/Collins bill is too narrow, allows some state restrictions to stay in place. Murkowski, Collins and Manchin say the bill today goes too far by banning some of those restrictions. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Collins tells me she hasn’t heard anything from Schumer about considering her bill to codify Roe. She’s also working in legislation with Tim Kaine and says of today’s vote: “I don’t understand the strategy of bringing up a bill that will not get 50 votes” — PolitiTweet.org
