The Trump administration has repeatedly sought Americans’ private data. Now CPSC wants names, addresses, birthdates, diagnoses, and other sensitive information from emergency room patients. CPSC must immediately halt this sweeping and invasive data collection.

This is inexcusable. The sacrifices made by our brave troops and their families can never be forgotten. Lutnick should be fired immediately.

I am heartbroken by the news of Gloria Steinem’s passing. Author, activist, trailblazer, icon. An organizer and a challenger of the status quo. Her work inspired a generation and will leave a lasting impact. May we recommit ourselves to the ideals of feminism—of true equality and justice for all.

Haitian TPS holders are our neighbors, caregivers, and community leaders. Now Trump’s cruel decision is forcing them out of Massachusetts. @BluntRochester.senate.gov and I introduced legislation to extend Haiti TPS through 2029. The House has acted. The Senate must vote now.

A billion-dollar company is not a small business. Nearly a third of corporations Trump would redefine as a “small business” already held $71 billion in federal contracts last year. I’m fighting to stop this corporate giveaway and ensure small businesses aren’t decimated by this Administration.

TPS holders are our friends and neighbors, and they deserve to stay in their communities without the fear of being forced to return to insecurity and widespread violence. I led a letter urging the Senate to schedule a vote to preserve Haiti TPS. No more delaying this humanitarian emergency.

Trump said his “little excursion” in Iran would last a few weeks. It's now been six months of an expensive and needless war. 18 brave US troops are dead, the Strait is closed, gas prices are up, billions of dollars are wasted, and Trump is clueless on ending this war. Stop the war. No more funding.

Today’s settlement sends a clear message: Big Tech must put kids’ well-being first. However, we cannot rely on court cases alone. Congress must also pass strong legislation including COPPA 2.0, which would update my original COPPA law, and my Youth AI Privacy Act to protect kids in this digital age.

Trump’s EPA would rather shield Big Tech from accountability than protect your health and well-being. Now, they want to silence people that speak up against their pollution-first agenda. Communities have a right to weigh in when a data center comes to their backyard.

Trump and Rubio are handing Saudi Arabia the technology to produce nuclear weapons material—the most reckless nuclear deal in U.S. history. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race and is corruption at the expense of national security. Congress must reject it.

Donald Trump’s new Canadian tariffs are causing costs to spike for American families. But Trump’s recklessness also just pushed Canada to tax American seafood. Fisheries are a cornerstone of our economy in Massachusetts—our businesses and our communities deserve help, not harm.

With Americans already being hit with higher gas, grocery, and electricity prices, a trade war with Canada would be a disaster for the Commonwealth and the US economy. Massachusetts imports $10 billion in goods from Canada every year but Trump says we ‘don’t need Canada’. He’s wrong.

Trump and his fossil fuel cronies are making millions from his illegal war of choice while families get tipped upside down at the pump and grocery story. This why we need to ban stock trading for Trump and members of Congress. Trump + Big Oil = One Big Criminal Enterprise

First Trump tried sanctions, then an illegal war, then diplomacy--and they all failed. Now he is back to sanctions. Don’t be fooled. Trump has no plan to end this unwinnable war. Congress must cut off the funding now. Not another nickel.

From the shores of the Cape to the trails of Minute Man, Massachusetts is home to national treasures far and wide. This #NationalParkWeek, celebrate the National Park Service’s 110th birthday by exploring great trails and beautiful landscapes and supporting all the workers who preserve our parks.

The Trump admin is turning the Small Business Administration into the Big Business Administration. This rule would decimate opportunities for actual small businesses by opening the door to federal resources for billion dollar companies. This admin must end its war on Main Street.

It’s simple: when we invest in our public schools, we set our students up for success. Let's build on those investments by passing my Green New Deal for Public Schools to support the schools of the future. Kudos to the hard work of MA teachers, families, and communities!

Trump is trying to dismantle Head Start, which gives over 10,000 kids in Massachusetts a strong foundation for success in school. Gutting class size and safety requirements and banning non-English education would undermine Head Start. Every kid deserves a fair shot, no matter their zip code.

Repealing the Roadless Rule is a generational mistake that will change the wild character of our national forests forever. Despite every attempt by the Trump administration, Americans have been clear: our public lands are not for sale, and our national forests should remain wild.

I am aware of the ICE raid in Newburyport and condemn any violent action by Trump’s ICE thugs. There must be a thorough investigation and we must put an end to ICE’s reign of terror. Abolish ICE now.

Your healthcare data should be private – not used to support Trump’s mass deportation campaign. HHS unlawfully handed ICE private Medicaid data not once, not twice, but three times. I am demanding with my Senate colleagues that this stops now.

If health is the first wealth, Trump and MAGA Republicans are looting the American people. While billionaires get tax cuts, the rest get higher premiums. When Democrats take back the Senate, our first priority: reversing the cuts and lowering healthcare costs for everyone.

EPA employees work for the American people, not at the pleasure of the President. Trump’s witch-hunt of dedicated civil servants is unjust and unfair to the public. This shameful cult-of-personality approach to governance must end.

I’m honored to keep delivering rail benefits to Massachusetts and beyond. By eliminating bottlenecks and improving accessibility for Commuter Rail and Amtrak service north of Boston, we can open our region to commuters, families, and visitors. I will always advocate for our transportation system.

Trump and RFK aren’t making kids safer—they’re making life-saving vaccines harder to get. RFK is a danger to children’s health. My Senate colleagues must join me in calling for him to be fired from HHS.
