Trump putting a 50 percent tariff on Canada in response to the wildfire smoke is like an arsonist trying to collect on the insurance policy after the house burns down. Tariffs don’t put out wildfires, firefighters do. If Canada is asking for our help, we should send it.

Trump’s tariff tax carousel just keeps going around and around—and small business and American families are the ones getting whiplash. Trump must stop his MAGA merry-go-round and put an end to the Pain on Main Street.

These brave troops gave their lives in service to our nation. How many more must die for Trump’s war of choice? End Trump’s illegal Iran war now. Not another nickel.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

Yesterday, I voted to block Trump’s plan to let AI decide whether Medicare will approve or deny your medical care. Every Senate Republican supported Trump’s scheme. Doctors should be deciding what care seniors need – not a computer program.

Trump has no idea how to end his reckless and expensive war in Iran, so now he is bombing civilian targets. This is a war crime. We already know how to end this war. Stop the bombing now.

Airport workers deserve good wages, quality health care, and dignity on the job. I’m proud to partner with @chuygarcia.house.gov on the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act to raise standards and put workers first. Together with @seiu.org, we’re fighting for good jobs at every airport.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is darkening skies and getting in our lungs across the state. With a record El Niño forecast for this year, we are looking at more wildfire smoke days ahead. The climate crisis is here and it does not stop at our borders. Stay safe, Massachusetts.

When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, my father cared for her in our home for thirteen years. My provisions to expand services for family caregivers are what I wish my father had. I’m proud to have the full support of the Senate in reauthorizing the Older Americans Act.

My new bill with @warren.senate.gov & @trahan.house.gov would secure millions in emergency water system grants, so when disasters strike like the burst pipe in Haverhill, communities aren’t left on the hook or in harm’s way. It’ll mean faster action to keep towns safer and businesses open.

SBA Administrator Loeffler claimed @sba-gov.bsky.social hasn't heard from small businesses that are struggling because of Trump's tariff taxes. We have the receipts. Main Street is suffering. Trump must be held accountable.

If you’re wondering why stuff feels more and more expensive, Trump keeps finding new and innovative ways to invent brand-new taxes on Americans. This one was just so dumb even he had to back down.

Donald Trump is attacking the court that prosecutes war criminals because he and Pete Hegseth are war criminals.

A free press is a core part of a functioning democracy. Trump sent the Justice Department to intimidate journalists who reported on his blatant corruption and the national security risks of his Qatari-gifted private jet. Outrageous. The press serve the people, not the President.

OMB’s proposed rule is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaponize federal funding for their own partisan and destructive goals. It is illegal and would irreparably harm recipients of federal funding and the people they serve. We must ensure it is scrapped entirely.

Trump has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz so now he wants to take it over and charge ships to use it. Not only is this illegal, it’s a recipe for endless war with Iran and higher gas prices. We should not be the world’s police force. Get out of the Strait. End the war. Now.

A scalding, blistering judicial opinion calling out Trump’s sham litigation, striking down his corrupt IRS immunity, and holding his sycophant lawyers to account. That’s a good start. Impeachment is next.

First, Trump takes a massive bribe from Qatar in the form of a $400 million luxury jet. Then, despite clear security threats, he rushes it into use, skipping many of the usual defensive systems. So, not only is this plane an illegal bribe, but it risks our national security. Corrupt and dangerous.

Trump is attacking Iran again and saying the ceasefire is “over,” but Congress already voted on a bipartisan basis to end this reckless war. If Trump wont stop bombing, Congress must cut off funding. I am leading the effort to slash Trump’s war machine. End the war now.

Trump is either politicizing disaster declarations or he is attacking states where it snows—neither is good. The February blizzard was costly for our communities, and Trump must approve the Commonwealth’s need for assistance. I will continue fighting with Governor Healey as she appeals this denial.

I am saddened by the passing of Tibetan activist Lobga Ranzen, and my deepest condolences go out to the Tibetan community. China’s ethnic unity law is a tool for targeting the identity of Tibetans and other minorities. I will continue to fight for the freedom of Tibetans and all minority groups.

We cannot be silent in the face of white nationalists marching in our nation’s capitol. From Massachusetts to Washington D.C. hatred and bigotry have no place here.

Today, I wrote with @warren.senate.gov to four federal agencies for possible federal assistance following the sewage break into the Merrimack River. I will continue working closely with @massgovernor.bsky.social and state and local officials to support the Merrimack Valley and the North Shore.

No answer is an answer. Both @frost.house.gov & I wrote to ICE on their alleged “domestic terrorist” database used to track protestors and were sent different answers evading the truth. Surveilling Americans for lawfully protesting is unacceptable. ICE must answer our questions.

Donald Trump jacked up plane prices with his war in Iran and now is making it easier for airlines to charge consumers hidden junk fees all just in time for holiday travel. Trump’s DOT continues to fulfill the airline industry’s wish list while selling out the traveling family.

I’ve secured millions of dollars for water projects in the Merrimack Valley and am working to provide another $20 million in authorized Army Corps funding.
