Trump’s war in Iran is causing heating bills to skyrocket this winter. To add insult to injury, he wants to zero out funding that helps families pay those skyrocketing bills. I'm fighting to expand LIHEAP, because families shouldn't have to make sacrifices to keep the heat on.

Nepal is in the grip of a devastating climate crisis that has displaced families and left thousands missing. The Trump administration must act now to grant TPS to eligible Nepali nationals. We urge this designation to protect Nepalis from a forced return to danger.

Trump and Zeldin are turning the EPA into a rubberstamping office for Big Tech. My report exposes how their deregulatory agenda is gutting air, water, and toxic chemical protections to make way for more data centers—leaving communities to pay the price with their health and their wallets.

Iran has no nuclear weapons and can’t “take out” L.A. or San Diego. But a U.S. President nevertheless inviting it to do so puts us in 25th Amendment territory. Trump is unfit and must go.

Proud to join Mayor Keefe, Senator Lydia Edwards and community leaders to announce $2.5 million in federal funding to help the Revere Fire Department hire 12 new firefighters and keep our communities safe.

USPS is continuing to play games with people’s mail by proposing to close post offices in Watertown, Allston, Fields Corner, and other communities across Massachusetts. I’m demanding USPS cease this campaign of postal office closures immediately.

Big Oil is at the Supreme Court today facing accountability for decades of deception and harm to our climate. We know that no court can deliver all the justice that communities deserve but the Supreme Court can start by having these corporations pay their share of the climate crisis’ costs.

Big banks shouldn’t be allowed to bankroll the climate crisis. My Fossil Free Finance Act requires major financial institutions to cut financial sector emissions 50% by 2035, immediately end financing for new or expanded fossil fuel projects, and reach zero financial sector emissions by 2050.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Trump’s reckless tariffs. Costly boondoggles that are skyrocketing costs for Main Street while Americans’ paychecks lose ground. Trump is more focused on golden ballrooms and helipads instead of making life more affordable for workers and families.

Today's the 8th anniversary of the brutal slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, ordered by Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman. We cannot trust Saudi leaders, yet Trump wants to allow them to enrich uranium that could be used for nuclear bombs. Stop the deal.

Elon Musk advising Trump on warfare is just handing over your taxpayer money to a trillionaire. Musk will push his AI and space technologies, make money from defense contracts, then pour that money into MAGA campaigns. Corruption in plain sight.

Trump is leaving communities in Massachusetts and disaster victims in blue states without essential disaster relief. Denying disaster relief to score political points is unacceptable. Trump must stop putting politics over people and deliver aid to Americans who need it.

Americans in crisis deserve support—no matter what state they live in or who they vote for. Trump is putting his ego over essential aid and is playing political games with disaster victims and communities. Unacceptable.

Trump’s EPA is rolling out the red carpet for polluting data centers all to benefit Big Tech. My new report outlines the attacks on environmental protections and calls on Congress to act. We must protect communities, not profit off of harm. youtube.com/shorts/JhbSV...

75% of Americans don’t want a data center in their neighborhood, but Trump’s EPA is greenlighting data center construction at the expense of our health. My new report details how Lee Zeldin is bending a knee to Big Tech by rolling back protections and failing the public.

On National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools, we acknowledge the children taken from their families who never returned home, survivors and descendents still suffering, and the lasting impact on native communities. We must commit to truth and healing now.

Donald Trump is like AI itself—over confident, often wrong, and prone to hallucinating facts. His “morally binding” agreement means nothing. We can’t let Big Tech regulate itself. Congress must act now.

RFK Jr. and the CDC delayed this year’s no-cost COVID-19 vaccine for kids—the latest move in their Make America Sick Agenda. Every child deserves to be protected from preventable disease. I'm demanding CDC answer for these delays immediately.

Trump wants prisons to cut off medical care for trans people, and wants the Supreme Court to let him do it. Withholding necessary medical care from prisoners is cruel. Politics shouldn't interfere with care. SCOTUS must reject this effort.

Trump is selling nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia despite reported US intelligence that the Saudis still want a bomb—while the Trumps have taken billions in bribes from the Saudis. This is Trump corruption at the expense of US national security. Stop the deal.

ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to track, target, and surveil communities across the country expanding Trump’s surveillance state. My Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act would prohibit government use of this dangerous & discriminatory technology.

Trump’s proposed nuke deal with Saudi Arabia could help them build nuclear bombs and ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. This dangerous deal would enrich Trump's cronies but make everyone less safe. No nukes for Saudi Arabia. Trump must cancel this deal immediately.

Fewer kids are getting the measles vaccine compared to just a few years ago. Instead of working to combat vaccine hesitancy, Trump is fanning the flames, and his nominee to lead the FDA is silent.

OpenAI admitted its agents hacked an Australian government website—three months after it happened. We can’t trust these companies to admit their failures. We need a Cybersecurity & AI Board of Investigations to demand answers from the rogue people behind these “rogue agents.”

EPA is bending over backwards to the very industry they’re supposed to regulate by outsourcing its decisions for how to address chemical pollution to the polluters themselves. EPA’s approach to governance shouldn’t let industry grade themselves.
