As Trump threatens to “annihilate” Iran, some Republicans are finally speaking out against his illegal, expensive, and unwinnable war. But we don't need words—we need action. I am calling on my Republican colleagues to vote to end this illegal war.

I am deeply concerned by reports of ICE’s operation in New Bedford and surrounding communities. Masked agents disappearing our neighbors and refusing to release any information stokes fear and threatens our communities. We must abolish ICE now.

Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran. His “October surprise” must not be a mushroom cloud from a nuclear attack. With these threats and assistance to Saudi Arabia, Trump is inferring mass slaughter and escalating an arms race in the Middle East. We must stop this madman.

This administration's latest attack on the Endangered Species Act is a one-way ticket to species extinction by letting bad actors kill an endangered species if they claim they “didn’t mean to do it.” Don't sacrifice whole species for corporate convenience.

Big victory against the administration’s unlawful attacks on our national solar program, which saves Americans money on skyrocketing electricity bills. We passed this program to help families get low-cost clean energy—EPA can't just kill it on Trump's whim.

Climate change is getting worse and energy costs are skyrocketing. Yet Trump spent $4 billion in taxpayer dollars to kill offshore wind projects that deliver affordable clean energy and well-paying jobs. We need clean energy now—let's say Yes to Wind.

Travelers shouldn't pay fortunes in fees for carry-on bags or choosing their seat, which cost airlines less than the inflated fees they charge. My FAIR Fees Act would slash excessive fees, enact cost-saving protections & put consumers first instead of airline billionaires.

We all know the anxiety of spending a small fortune on a plane ticket knowing plans change. It doesn’t have to be that way. My Cash Refunds for Cancellations Act would protect the right to a refund up to 2 days before a flight & stop airlines from taking off with people's cash.

We shouldn’t be footing the bill for Big Tech when 75% of Americans oppose data center buildout. The Senate must put meaningful protections in place. My Protecting Communities from Data Center Impacts Act will rein in Big Tech’s expensive pollution bombs.

No bombs for Saudi Arabia. No nukes for Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is a known violator of human rights and an instigator for the crisis in Yemen. I introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to stop Trump's sale of 10,000 bombs to the Saudis.

Big Tech has shown they will stop at nothing in the Faustian pursuit of “innovation” posing life-threatening risks to our kids, our environment, our workers, and our rights. We need to pass my AI Accountability agenda to address current harms now and act to stop existential threats to our future.

The United States must not send 40,000 taxpayer-funded bombs to Netanyahu for his war on Gaza and Lebanon and on Iran. We must block the sale of these weapons now. #BlockTheBombs

After six months of an illegal and unnecessary war with Iran, Trump’s war machine has spent more than $38 Billion. If we include increased fuel costs to Americans, the cost is more than $145 Billion and growing. American families don’t need to pay for this disaster. Enough. End the war now.

What do you call the Supreme Court blocking Trump’s illegal mail-in ballot plan? A good start. But he’s not finished, so we must stay vigilant and continue to fight his ongoing attempts to steal the November election.

During Suicide Prevention Month, we remember those we’ve lost, stand with those who are struggling, and thank those who offer help and hope. I will never stop fighting to expand support for mental health and to protect kids and teens from harm online. You are not alone.

Trump and Zeldin are defying the laws of this country, the laws of physics, and the law of common sense. Their Polluters First Agenda passes the very real costs of a more extreme climate onto working families. We must protect human health and our environment—not corporate polluter profits.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Thomas Graham Jr., who worked tirelessly to reduce the risk of nuclear war. Tom supported the kind of common-sense arms control that—with the expiration of New START—we need more than ever today. My condolences to his family.

In Boston, we came together to honor the lives lost on September 11 and to recognize the courage of our first responders. We remember through service in our communities, the lives lost on 9/11, our veterans, and our military families.

Thanks to Trump’s illegal and chaotic war in Iran, diesel prices are now over $6 a gallon. Higher diesel costs mean higher prices for groceries and everyday essentials that fuel daily life. Americans should not have to pay for this reckless war at the pump and in their bills.

Trump claims that his illegal and unwinnable Iran war will end right after the midterm elections. He’s lying. His own advisors know better. This war of choice will drag on until Trump leaves office unless Congress cuts off funding. We cannot wait two more years to end this disaster.

According to the UN, global temperature rise will exceed the 1.5°C (2.7°F) “tipping point” threshold that will only lead to worse floods, wildfires, and storms. Our challenge is clear: we need to rapidly reduce fossil fuel emissions to ensure a livable future for our planet.

Oil just went back up to $100 per barrel as the fighting in Trump’s illegal Iran war intensifies. That means even higher gas and diesel prices are back for Americans. All for Trump’s endless, unwinnable war. The only way out of this is to end the war, now. Not another nickel.

On Labor Day, we recognize the workers who keep our communities and our country running, the unions that fight for workers’ rights, and the labor movement that fought for the workplace protections we rely on today. Every worker has a right to dignity, safety, fair pay, and a voice at the table.

President Trump's decision to reject FEMA's own guidelines and block disaster aid to Massachusetts after last winter's blizzard is a shameful betrayal of trust. Americans deserve a government that has their backs when disaster strikes, no matter who they vote for.

More than 7,000 Salvadorans across the Commonwealth are at risk of losing their Temporary Protected Status. They are our neighbors, friends, and loved ones. We must pave a way to permanent status and stop Trump from tearing families apart.

Amid a measles outbreak in the U.S. and an Ebola outbreak abroad, Trump’s Pentagon is planning to siphon funds Congress provided for lifesaving infectious disease research to help pay for illegal wars. I introduced the Slash the Pentagon Act because we should be funding healthcare—not warfare.

Trump is weaponizing the tax code against colleges that provide opportunities for students who have been historically excluded. We must continue to stand up against this Administration’s war on civil rights and DEI.
