Trump’s call for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” is just a road to endless war. We need an immediate ceasefire, not excuses to keep fighting. Trump is increasing the danger that he will send ground troops into Iran. We need diplomacy before this becomes a disaster.

Electricity rates are spiking as AI data centers pop up across the country. Households and small businesses should not be made to subsidize data centers while they already struggle to get by. Our nation's public utility commissions set household rates--they can act now.

I’m calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.

Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill to force the government to attempt to sell our lands and waters to fossil fuel companies. The first sale off the coast of Alaska got ZERO bids: no one wants their fossil fuel fantasies. Trump—cut your losses and leave our lands alone.

It’s clear: Trump’s tariff taxes are killing jobs and putting real pain on Main Street. America’s small businesses, consumers, and communities cannot wait. The Trump admin must deliver tariff refunds now.

ICE and CBP are buying your location information from data brokers. These frictionless, on-demand surveillance tactics are unacceptable. My colleagues and I are demanding answers.

I'm proud to have moved several of my bills and priorities as part of this week’s Weather Act and NASA authorization bills, including provisions to fight extreme heat, support weather forecasting, and support astrophysics research. America can lead on safety and smarts.

The Senate's unanimous and bipartisan passage of COPPA 2.0 is a major milestone in the fight to protect children and teens online. I'm ready to work with my colleagues in the House to pass COPPA 2.0 into law. Let's get this done.

Massachusetts small businesses are leaders in emerging tech like clean energy and life sciences. The SBIR program is critical to our innovation economy. We must continue to empower our most capable and competitive small businesses to keep innovating.

We are spending a billion dollars a day on this illegal, reckless war. This is taxpayer money that should be going to healthcare and education. Now, Trump wants $50 billion more for a war that Congress has not authorized. Outrageous. No way.

Emmanuel Damas was a Haitian asylum seeker living in Massachusetts. His death in ICE custody is a terrible tragedy. I’ve been working with his family to uncover the truth. We must demand full accountability from ICE for his death.

BREAKING: COPPA 2.0 just passed the Senate by unanimous consent. This marks a tremendous victory in my decades long fight for children and teens’ online privacy. Now, the House must do the same.

Outraged by the State Dept's unreadiness for evacuating Americans from the Middle East. This is a crisis of Trump's making. No plan for attacking Iran. And no plan for evacuating Americans. This isn't a natural disaster—it's a man-made one. And the man responsible is Trump.

Two months into 2026, the U.S. has almost half as many measles cases as all of last year. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. and his Surgeon General pick refuse to endorse vaccines. Tell the truth: measles vaccines are the best way to protect your family from this deadly disease.

Instead of protecting our food and farmworkers from harmful chemicals like glyphosate, Trump is shielding chemical companies from accountability and pushing more pesticides into our food. Americans deserve a Surgeon General who will stand up for their health, not chemical wealth.

I just left the classified briefing on Iran. And it only confirmed what we already knew: Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it.

Donald Trump's illegal war with Iran has already cost $2 BILLION. Americans don't want another endless war. We should be funding health care not warfare.

The Trump administration has failed to provide proper medical care to detained immigrants. Now, it is moving all unaccompanied children who are pregnant to Texas, where abortion is banned. Blocking girls as young as 13 from critical reproductive care is cruel, unsafe, and unjust.

Trump continues his war on working people. Attacking IRS workers in the middle of tax season is illegal and reckless. Trump’s top priority isn’t making taxes more fair—it’s letting billionaires off the hook and avoid accountability.

BLOCKED: A federal judge has ruled that lawmakers must be able to conduct congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities without being barred. We will not allow Kristi Noem to operate behind closed doors as ICE thugs kidnap immigrants from our communities.

ICE officers have lied again--this time to enter a school dorm and arrest a college student. ICE is a corrupt and violent agency that needs to be abolished. Students deserve to feel safe at their schools and college campuses.

Trump’s delay tactics are downright illegal, and the courts agree. No more delays. Trump must pay back America’s small businesses, consumers, and working families for the billions of dollars his tariff taxes took from them.

Trump is raising prices at home while razing countries abroad. In addition to untold casualties, Trump's illegal war with Iran will lead to skyrocketing oil prices, and we know the Big Oil vultures are already circulating. We can't let Trump drag us into another endless war.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a ‘cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

ICE is tearing families apart and putting people in dangerous situations. Many immigrants—even children—are forced to defend themselves in deportation cases without a lawyer. The SHIELD Act would bolster immigrants’ access to legal support, so they don't have to face court alone.
