Trump’s illegal war with Iran cost $11.3 BILLION in the first six days alone. Here’s what that money could fund instead for the American people:

Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud. He's driving up gas prices so his Big Oil cronies can rake in massive profits at your expense. No war with Iran.

Trump launched this reckless war “hoping” to change the regime in Iran, “hoping” Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz, and “hoping” gas prices would not go up. There was no plan. Hope is not a military strategy. This war is a tragic failure.

I’m grateful to the first responders in Bloomfield Hills for their swift response at Temple Israel. Houses of worship must always be places of peace and safety. Antisemitism and violence have no place in our country.

My heart is with the families of the victims of the shooting at Old Dominion University and with the entire ODU community. No student should have to fear for their safety on campus. This violence is unacceptable, and these tragedies must end.

It has been more than 200 days since I called on the Trump administration to have a plan for tariff refunds. Now, Trump’s delay is costing $20 million per day in interest. American small businesses, workers, and consumers need their money back without delay.

My constituent, Juan David, is facing imminent deportation. The Trump administration needs to allow time for his T visa case to be processed. Removing him before he can fully pursue this relief is unconscionable.

I am relieved about the release of the 14-year-old girl picked up by federal agents yesterday. I will continue to do everything I can to support her case. Her safety and wellbeing need to be ensured.

Classic Trump. Faced with a tragic US mistake that cost the lives of 168 children in Iran, Trump, against all evidence, blames Iran. I was proud to join my Democratic colleagues in writing to Trump to demand the truth. Trump must own up to this catastrophe now.

Trump is doubling down on his illegal tariff taxes and putting even more pain on Main Street. American small businesses, workers, and families can’t wait for another court decision. We must pass the Small Business Liberation 2.0 Act and stop Trump's tariff madness.

Offshore wind means local union jobs, economic wins for Massachusetts communities, and cheap clean power that protects us from global oil price shocks. New Bedford is showing how to get it done—now Trump needs to back off his unlawful attacks so we can keep building.

Americans are paying for this war at the pump. Americans are paying for this war with their lives. Now Trump and Republicans are asking Americans to foot the bill for more of this war with their tax dollars. No. No more funding for this reckless war.

Gas prices are soaring at home, but instead of ending his illegal and reckless war abroad, Trump is easing sanctions on Russia to sell more oil. Trump’s war is now benefitting his buddy Putin, who is helping Iran. And more money for Putin will hurt Ukraine. What a disaster.

Trump’s illegal war with Iran is hitting Americans hard—at the pump, at the grocery store, and on their utility bills. Americans deserve to know what the cost of Trump’s reckless actions will be for themselves and their families as he continues this war. I'm calling for answers.

Trump’s strikes on oil infrastructure in Iran released massive plumes of toxic smoke, inflicting environmental warfare on innocent Iranian families—alarming their loved ones in Massachusetts and worldwide. This is a human rights violation. Trump must stop this illegal war.

Trump is lying and children are dying in Iran. Trump claimed again that Iran attacked a girls’ school where 175 people died, mostly children, using a Tomahawk missile. Not true. Only the US uses Tomahawks in this war. Trump must own up to this tragedy. We must end this war.

For 25+ years, green card holders and other lawful immigrants have been eligible for SBA loans, creating jobs and investing in communities. Now, 5+ million entrepreneurs are completely cut off from SBA loans. Trump's SBA must immediately reverse its cruel, anti-immigrant policies.

Donald Trump is throwing gasoline on the flames of war in Iran, while at home, Americans are paying higher prices for gasoline at the pump. Take a walk with me to see how prices are skyrocketing as a result of this illegal war.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is causing the largest oil shock in history. Gas prices are spiking, and Americans will be feeling the pain at the pump. Meanwhile, Trump is not ruling out sending ground troops into Iran. Americans do not want an expensive and endless war abroad.

So much joy in Easthampton this evening at the CitySpace ArtWalk. Proud to support the artists, musicians, and community that make this city special, and celebrate the $3.5 million I secured to renovate the historic Old Town Hall.

Trump is continuing his crusade of erasure at our parks. This time, removing films that tell the history of women and immigrant labor organizing against terrible conditions at the Lowell Mills. Trump cannot erase the truth. Watch one of the films now on my YouTube: youtu.be/PhfN-c_Qv3o

Last year, the Trump admin unjustifiably shuttered the Springfield @SBAgov branch office, leaving entrepreneurs in western Mass hours away from in-person services and community partners in the lurch. I’m working with @warren.senate.gov, @neal.house.gov, and @repmcgovern.bsky.social to get answers.
