Because it’s made by a Massachusetts small business! North Andover’s Schylling Inc. was hit hard by Trump’s illegal tariff tax, but we fought back—and won—to ensure toy manufacturers and other small businesses like Schylling can continue to make fun products everyone can enjoy.

While corporations are making record profits, workers who suffer discrimination are denied full justice due to outdated caps on legal compensation. The Equal Remedies Act ends these arbitrary limits and ensures all workers, including seniors, receive their full jury awards.

Following weeks of advocacy from my office, the federal delegation, the American Postal Workers Union, and most importantly the community, it is great news that the USPS has reversed course on its decision to close the Shutesbury Post Office. Service will continue uninterrupted.

Republicans just voted to give a $70 billion blank check to Trump’s ICE thugs and placed no checks on the $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. They’ll give relief to criminals but none to families.

Here are the quotes Trump's NPS is trying to erase at the Bunker Hill Monument. Congress must not fund Trump's campaign of censorship.

While your electricity bills are going up and taking cash out of your budget, Trump is stealing out of our national wallet—using taxpayer dollars to pay for polluting, expensive, and unnecessary coal plants. We need to save Americans’ money, not give it to Trump’s fossil donors.

The cost of groceries rose faster last month than at any other time in the past four years—all while personal savings plummeted. More loans won’t fix Trump’s affordability crisis or deliver real relief to American families. Ending Trump’s reckless economic policies will.

Solidarity with the childcare workers on strike at Square One in Springfield. I urge all parties to come to the table and negotiate in good faith.

The House, for the first time, voted to halt Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran. The Senate did the same two weeks ago, a vote I was proud to join. The dam is breaking. GOP support for the war is evaporating. Trump must end this war now.

The Trump admin's war on science continues. They think that burying data that shows how the climate is changing will help them kill our momentum to take climate action—but we won’t stop fighting, alongside the people living through floods, wildfires, droughts, & climate chaos.

My investigation revealed Waymo relies on people overseas to help their self-driving cars. Now, there are hundreds of examples of Waymo endangering the public. Without transparency requirements in law, Waymo will not be held accountable. Pass my AV Safety Data Act now.

With gas prices skyrocketing, Americans deserve choices in how they travel. That’s why I’m leading Democrats to fight for a historic investment in world class transit, passenger rail, EV charging, and safe roads for walking and biking.

Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran is driving up costs for families and small businesses everywhere—and there’s no end in sight. Trump himself said yesterday “I don’t care” if negotiations to end the war are over. Ridiculous. End the war. End the pain on Main Street.

Thank you to @cwaunion.bsky.social for bringing together workers from across the country to fight for their rights in the age of AI. I am proud to stand with workers and say NO to robot bosses and NO to spying on employees. The future of work must be one where AI stands for All Included.

Not taking Blanche’s word for it. Congress must kill this corrupt “anti-weaponization” slush fund so every Republican is on record. And Congress must revoke the extraordinary immunity from tax audits and prosecution that Blanche says still protects Trump, his family & associates.

Let’s go! Trump’s use of the Department of Justice as his personal piggybank is corrupt and must be stopped. Congress cannot let Trump use taxpayer dollars to kill offshore wind.

Trump wants to give 2,000 nuclear bombs worth of weapons-ready plutonium to private companies including Oklo, where Energy Secretary Wright served on the board. This is a clear conflict of interest and dangerous for our security. Trump must cancel this plan now.

We passed a law giving cash rebates to install electric and more-efficient appliances. As electricity and fuel prices go up thanks to Trump's policies, this should be a win-win. Trump is trying to illegally kill this program, breaking the law and leaving you with the bill.

Trump now finds his Iran war “very boring.” Families are paying for this illegal and reckless war at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and with their taxes. Trump got us into this disaster, and he has to get us out, now.

The Trump administration is continuing its cruel campaign of contempt against communities of color—all at the expense of American innovation, American jobs, and America's global standing. We must stop this administration's hateful politicization of our research and innovation.

Obeying the court’s order to pause the insurrectionist slush fund is the law, and it’s not enough. Congress needs to permanently block it and rescind the self-pardon Trump gave himself, his family, and his business associates for tax crimes.

Happy Pride Month! We keep the spirit of the first Pride protest with us as we fight for equal rights and justice and against the Trump admin's attacks. And to LGBTQIA+ people, especially trans and nonbinary youth, I see you, I love you, and I will always fight alongside you.

Trump’s career is one fraud after another. On banks, insurers, contractors, regulators, and voters. Why would the courts and this settlement be any different?

“Public interest” is not a magic phrase that lets Brendan Carr threaten broadcasters into serving Trump’s interest. This notice is pages of empty text that does nothing to stop the Federal Censorship Commission.

We cannot let Trump force our scientists to flee to other countries to create the treatments and technologies of the future. I’m fighting to ensure we continue to invest in groundbreaking scientific research and keep our scientists here in Massachusetts.

This summer will bring a record-breaking Super El Niño, with extreme heat, flooding, and wildfires. We must act on climate before our planet is pushed to worse extremes. Just because Republicans stopped fighting climate change doesn't mean that climate change stopped fighting us.

Using plutonium for nuclear power is stupid and dangerous. This material is used in nukes, and it’s too unsafe for widespread commercial use. Do we want Iran using plutonium in its reactor? No. Only Trump’s get-rich-quick bros would come up with this corrupt and moronic scheme.
