Let’s be clear: Trump’s illegal war on Iran is a tax hike on American small businesses and families. Enough. End the war, end Trump’s affordability crisis, and end the pain on Main Street.

In February, Massachusetts experienced a blizzard that battered businesses and infrastructure, shut off power, and buried communities under historic levels of snow. I’m joining with my colleagues in the MA delegation to urge FEMA to approve Gov. Healey’s request for needed relief.

Trump wants to claim victory in his war with Iran but he's only made a bigger mess. 13 US troops and thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Gas has spiked to $4 a gallon. We need diplomacy to end this war now.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in February offered small businesses temporary relief from what has become a year of pain and uncertainty for Main Street. We must stop the pain from becoming permanent. Trump must automatically refund his tariff taxes.

I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.

Reminder: Right now, Democrats have a chance to stand up to Trump's chaos. Trump just requested an additional $1.5 trillion in military funding. We cannot hand over a huge check to a President intent on committing war crimes. I will do everything in my power to block it.

Donald Trump said “a whole civilization will die tonight”. There is no room for interpretation. The President of the United States is threatening genocide in Iran.

My Statement Calling for Trump Removal Over Threat to Eradicate "Civilization" in Iran.

This kind of loose-lipped ambiguity about the United States using nuclear weapons is apocalyptically dangerous and unacceptable. JD Vance and the White House must clarify immediately—no nuclear weapons.

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

An unhinged and profanity-laced tweet threatening war crimes won’t open the Strait of Hormuz. Only negotiating with Iran will. Start where you’re going to end up, Donald. So that Americans don’t keep paying more at the pump and our servicemembers don’t pay with their lives.

Republicans already gutted Medicaid and health care and drove up costs; and now Trump wants to cut MORE. For what? For $1.5 TRILLION MORE dollars for an already bloated Pentagon budget. Including $185 billion for his idiotic Golden Dome. The Trump budget is insanity.

One year after “Liberation Day,” Trump’s tariff taxes have been a double bogey for America’s small businesses, workers, and families. The Trump administration must tee up an automatic process for refunding its illegal tariffs to the American people.

We urgently need to lower energy costs for American families. My draft Ratepayer Roadmap outlines a path to do exactly that: directly cut bills, build more clean energy, and stop Big Oil from rigging the system to make even more profits. Learn more:

One year ago, Trump unleashed his reckless tariff taxes, calling it "Liberation Day." For Main Street, it was Obliteration Day, costing small businesses billions and sending the economy tumbling. Small businesses organized and won at the Supreme Court—but the fight is not over.

Let's get one thing straight. Donald Trump just spent twenty minutes lying to the American people, threatening to commit war crimes on civilian infrastructure, and pretending you should be grateful that his reckless, illegal war has cost lives abroad and your money at home. Unhinged.

Energy bills are too high, and thanks to Trump, they keep getting bigger. We don’t have to accept this. That’s why I’m getting out a Ratepayer Roadmap—a three-part path to lower costs, build clean affordable energy, and stop the price-gouging and profiteering. youtube.com/shorts/ZNNA_...

I launched an investigation into AV companies’ use of remote assistance operators. What I learned only reaffirms my concerns—for the safety and privacy of robotaxi users and for the workers assisting these vehicles, some of whom are overseas. Now, I want federal authorities to investigate.

Trump knows that his failed policies won't win in 2026, so he wants to steal the election. This EO is flatly unconstitutional and illegal. I tried passing a resolution denouncing Trump's efforts to nationalize elections but Republicans blocked it. We must protect our elections.

My investigation into autonomous vehicle companies’ use remote assistance operators exposed a lack of transparency and serious safety gaps. Now I’m calling on federal authorities to investigate.

Another important victory for the First Amendment against Trump’s unconstitutional censorship. I have always fought to protect public media and the free press. You don’t get to punish speech you don’t like.

Not only is the Pentagon sending American troops into a reckless, illegal war that is costing families at home in energy costs, but it is also stalling routine wind reviews that would bring on much-needed energy to lower those costs. The war on Iran and the attacks on clean energy must end.

Trump is giving $1 billion of your money to a French energy company to prevent it from bringing low-cost clean power to the East Coast. While your energy bills go up, Trump is making you pay to stop the solutions. I'm demanding answers and for our money back with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov.

Trump promised to cut costs. Instead, he’s illegally sent us to another war in the Middle East, causing gas prices to spike. The costs to human life, to our servicemembers, and to the pockets of everyday people are not worth it. We need to end this war. Now.

Your postage costs are going up, thanks to the Trump-induced spike of gasoline prices. Trump is trying to crush our ability to purchase and use electric vehicles—including at USPS—which could help protect against rising gas costs. Trump is making us pay at the pump and the post.

America’s small businesses and families need their money back. They don’t have teams of lawyers to figure out a complicated tariff tax refund process. Trump must immediately—and automatically—refund small businesses and families the tariff taxes they are rightfully owed.

For six years, I have been sounding the alarm on Clearview AI. Now, a grandmother was jailed for over 5 months for crimes in a state she’s never visited. This technology is biased, inaccurate, and unreliable. It destroys lives.
