Even Pentagon officials are wondering how they would spend Trump’s $1.5 trillion blank check. It’s way past due that funding goes to programs that make a sound difference in American’s lives—from food assistance, to education, to healthcare needs. www.youtube.com/shorts/gNbRO...

It is time Republicans stop treating matters of life or death like they are a game. Stop funding Trump’s illegal wars abroad. End the funding of the military occupations of American cities. Slash the Pentagon budget and stop lying to Americans about what their money is actually funding.

What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget. www.youtube.com/shorts/aT6T0...

This move will be devastating for families. RFK Jr. shouldn't be in charge of your kid's classroom. Students with disabilities need education experts at the helm - not a dangerous charlatan like RFK Jr.

A Lowell woman waited 5 months for a wheelchair repair and ended up in the ER on a ventilator. This isn't a fluke—too many Americans are paying the price when private equity puts profits over patients. I won't stop fighting to get corporate greed out of health care.

14 years ago, DACA opened the door to opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Dreamers. Dreamers are Americans by every measure that matters. They are our neighbors, coworkers, classmates—they grew up here and belong here. Congress must finally provide a pathway to citizenship.

Trump says he reached a deal with Iran to extend the ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz. In other words, to get us back to where we were before Trump launched his reckless, expensive, and unnecessary war. Was this worth the lives, money, and risk? No way.

Bunker Hill was the revolution’s first major battle—but it was not the last. The fight for our freedom continues even to this day, as we fight against censorship and tyranny.

Just before SpaceX’s IPO made Elon Musk a trillionaire, Trump gave SpaceX billions in contracts for his dangerous, ineffective, and corrupt “Golden Dome” missile interceptor system. Coincidence? No, corruption.

Children are 25% of the population, but they are 100% of our future. The Child Safety and Well-Being Act would make sure the federal government promotes the interests of children through policymaking, ensuring they are represented when we make decisions that impact their lives.

Lee Zeldin won’t take action to protect our health and environment from data centers. In fact, he’s willing to pollute our air and our water to make them easier to build. Americans deserve better than an EPA that puts Big Tech profits over public interest.

Clayton defended Trump’s anti-weaponization slush fund and echoed false attacks on the integrity of our elections. Trump didn’t pick him to serve America’s intelligence community, but to weaponize it against Trump's political enemies and help steal the election. I'm voting no.

Trump promised he would end wars. Instead, he launched two reckless wars against Iran and continues to threaten more—putting people at risk and telling us he “doesn’t care” about rising oil and gas costs. In case Trump hasn’t noticed, his madman theory of diplomacy is not working.

It has been 63 years since the landmark Equal Pay Act was signed into law, prohibiting sex-based wage discrimination. Today we celebrate the law’s legacy, while still fighting to advance true fairness for all workers.

Trump warned Iran that it would “pay the price” for the war that he started, but who is really paying the price? American families. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure in Iran. End it now.

Farmers are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and need targeted land management tools to fight back. My bipartisan Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act would help farmers get the resources they need to build resilience to extreme weather and lower emissions.

Prices are up. People are hurting. I told nominees for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and National Labor Relations Board they'll need BACKBONE to stand up to Trump. Workers deserve strong, independent agencies to protect their rights. Nothing less. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSDk...

My AI Environmental Impacts Act would require data centers to report on air quality, water use, noise pollution, light pollution, land use, and energy use. Communities are already feeling these impacts. We need more, but the least our government can do is give us the truth.

Billionaires have benefited for decades because the tax code rewards wealth over work. My Equal Tax Act makes the wealthy pay tax on investments the same way working people pay tax on their paycheck. It’s basic fairness.

Trump is not a deal maker, he is a deal breaker. In 2015, we passed a good deal with Iran that stopped a bomb, but Trump tore it up to create a crisis. Then Iran enriched, and Trump attacked. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure. Totally avoidable.

Trump’s @sba-gov.bsky.social is slashing funding by 67% and eliminating essential entrepreneurial development programs that help nearly 1 million small businesses. I’m calling on Administrator Loeffler to explain why the Trump administration is choosing to turn Main Street into Pain Street

A man burned Juneteenth materials outside Boston's Museum of African American History, home to the nation's oldest surviving Black church. While we’re still looking for answers, we will not be intimidated by those who seek to erase Black history or sow division. Hate has no home in Massachusetts.

Trump started his illegal, reckless, and expensive war against Iran 100 days ago, and what did we get? A 50% increase in fuel prices and a $150-billion bill for taxpayers. This war is 100% a disaster. Trump must end this now.

Because it’s made by a Massachusetts small business! North Andover’s Schylling Inc. was hit hard by Trump’s illegal tariff tax, but we fought back—and won—to ensure toy manufacturers and other small businesses like Schylling can continue to make fun products everyone can enjoy.
