The Trump administration cares about corporations–not students. Gutting the Department of Education as borrowers try to figure out their complicated loans means less support, protection, and oversight. Students need clarity. Not confusion.

Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked legislation to pay TSA workers. They are using TSA workers as pawns to avoid putting a stop torump’s lawless, violent immigration agenda. It’s unconscionable.

Like Trump promised, RFK Jr. has been “going wild” on health since Day One. But when we fight back, we win. Trans people deserve dignity, safety, and access to the lifesaving care their doctors recommend. We celebrate today and keep fighting tomorrow.

No. I will not vote for a penny more for this endless, illegal war.

just voted for a War Powers Resolution to end President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Congress must act with authority. End this war now.

Cigarette smoking just hit a historic low—and the CDC was silent. RFK Jr.'s cuts to the CDC mean national anti-smoking work has gone up in smoke. It's time to restore the CDC's anti-smoking programs and keep up the progress—not let it burn away.

This National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week, I am in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community as they face down challenges getting respectful, affordable health care. I won’t stop fighting for accessible and compassionate care for all.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, refuses to admit what we know is true, that Iran posed no imminent threat to our security. Instead, she hides behind a lie and says that Trump “concluded” that Iran posed such a threat. This is Trump's illegal, reckless war of choice.

380+ clinical trials disrupted. More than 74k real people waiting for breakthroughs. All derailed by NIH grants cuts. I’m leading the MA delegation demanding answers from the Trump admin. We need the truth about cuts to lifesaving research.

Meta wants to quietly roll out facial recognition technology in its smart glasses, hoping Americans won’t notice the potential risk to their privacy and civil rights. They’re mistaken. I have serious questions about the privacy risks and ethics of deploying this technology.

Right now, billionaires can pay less in taxes on their stock trades than teachers or nurses that educate our children and care for us in emergencies. My Equal Tax Act would stop rewarding wealth more than work by making the ultra-wealthy pay taxes like millions of working people.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all celebrating in Massachusetts and beyond! Today we honor the rich Irish heritage that helped shape our Commonwealth and continues to strengthen our communities.

The Trump administration has made attacking transgender Americans central to its agenda. I want to hear from you. Share your story so we can fight back and defend dignity, safety, and freedom for all.

The foundation is cracking. Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center just resigned saying he “cannot in good conscience” support Trump’s war because Iran “posed no imminent threat.” The people deep inside know how wrong this war is. This illegal, reckless war must end now.

A court just blocked a major part of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda. Good. Vaccines save lives. Policy must be guided by science—not conspiracy theories and dangerous misinformation. Today’s ruling is a victory for science, for parents, and for kids across America.

RFK Jr.’s reckless anti-science crusade is turning deadly in the Commonwealth and across the country. He continues to spread vaccine misinformation, cut lifesaving NIH-funded research, and dismantle our public health infrastructure. RFK Jr. must end his Make America Sick Agenda.

Let me get this straight: DHS collected sensitive biometric data they shouldn’t have — and now they can’t even locate it? Outrageous doesn’t begin to cover it.

Cuba has gone dark. Trump’s vindictive oil embargo – along with a sanctions regime that has starved Cuba of opportunities to develop its solar and wind – is depriving innocent Cuban citizens of basic necessities and creating a humanitarian crisis. Trump must end the embargo.

The Federal Censorship Commission is threatening broadcasters who don’t cover Trump’s illegal Iran war the way he wants. Democracies don’t censor the media, authoritarians do. I’m demanding that Brendan Carr resign, now.

Trump chose this war and now he wants help. Why would NATO help protect the Strait of Hormuz after Trump did not consult with NATO before he launched this illegal war in Iran? Trump was recently threatening to attack Greenland, part of NATO. Mr. “I don’t need allies” now wants them.

The BP Oil Spill was the worst environmental disaster in US history. It wreaked economic havoc and cost us billions to clean up. The Trump administration is giving BP the green light to do it again—all so Big Oil can make money off our backs and leave us to live with the mess.

It’s not even subtle. Carr is saying: Broadcasters, cover Trump’s illegal Iran war as he says or the Trump FCC will destroy you. This is censorship.

Americans do not trust RFK Jr. to keep them healthy and safe. His reckless vaccine skepticism and disregard for science and truth are hurting families across the country. I’m calling for him to testify at my Health Committee and am tracking his chaos here: www.markey.senate.gov/rfktracker

Americans are in for a crude awakening at the pump. Trump’s illegal war in Iran is costing people $1.8 billion more per week on gas. That money could fund home energy tax credits, electric vehicle rebates, and more. We must end the war and break our addiction to fossil fuels.

A Massachusetts small business owner testified this week that health insurance premiums for his business are rising 27% this year. This is not sustainable. When MAGA Republicans refuse to lower health care costs, small businesses and workers pay the price.

A win for veterans. A federal judge saw through Trump’s illegal union-busting of VA workers. The dedicated people who care for veterans every day now have their labor rights protected. When the VA is strong, our veterans benefit.

It’s simple: more exposure to ethylene oxide means more cases of cancer for workers and communities. Trump’s EPA is rolling back our protections against these toxic emissions—we can’t let the EPA put polluter profits over the health of our families.

Instead, Donald Trump chose to fund war. Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority and stop this illegal war now.
