Workers paid 9% more for their family's health insurance this year, with annual premiums of almost $7.5k. At a time when costs are growing faster than wages, Trump and MAGA Republicans are putting their billionaire friends ahead of Massachusetts families.

Rubio has made a mockery of his position by politicizing his responsibility to the U.S.'s national security and diplomatic efforts. The individuals chosen to serve our country as diplomats swear an oath to the Constitution not political loyalty to a wannabe king.

There must be an independent federal investigation of the Burlington ICE facility. I have seen the conditions myself and am deeply disturbed by reports of detainees, including pregnant women, being denied the treatment they need.

SCOTUS made the right decision today rejecting the Trump administration’s effort to withhold essential medical care from trans people behind bars. Healthcare is a human right.

Disgusting. We need to pass my No Robot Bosses and Stop Spying Bosses Acts now to put an end to this weaponized surveillance and union-busting by machine.

I’m glad the U.S. government is now warning travelers that they are at risk of wrongful detention if traveling to China. I continue to urge the immediate release of wrongfully detained U.S. citizens Youlin Chen and Min Zen.

Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in a day and the Iran war in a few weeks. He was dead wrong. Now, by buying diesel fuel from Russia, Trump is fueling both wars to last longer. Whose side is he on? Trump is risking lives for an empty campaign talking point.

Brendan Carr’s FCC is threatening to end E-Rate, which has helped connect schools and libraries to the internet for 30 years. I led my colleagues in writing to Carr demanding that he abandon this effort. Students and communities cannot afford to lose E-Rate.

The U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal is about megatons, not megawatts. Trump should not be sharing nuclear bomb technology with a nation that U.S. intelligence says may want nuclear weapons. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race. We must reject this dangerous deal.

Facing political defeat, Trump is blaming sky high gas and diesel prices on Ukraine’s attacks against Russian oil refineries—and is limiting Ukraine’s access to Starlink to make his point. But we know the truth: it's Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war on Iran to blame.

Communities in Massachusetts are worried about Amazon’s drone delivery program and the potential risks to livability, safety, and privacy. Instead of cutting corners, the FAA and Amazon must address residents’ concerns and understand the risks of drones in Massachusetts.

Republicans like Pete Hegseth and JD Vance exaggerated the nuclear threat from Iran to justify Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war. The best way to prevent a nuclear Iran is through diplomacy, not warmongering. End this disastrous war now.

I'm proud that nearly $10 million has been awarded to regional ocean observing systems that provide data to keep fishermen safe on the water, communities informed, and support livelihoods across New England. We must continue to fund science that ensures access to lifesaving data.

I’m hiring motivated and eager interns for the Spring 2027 semester in my Boston office. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, veterans, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply. Applications are due Monday, November 9th.

My Statement with Senator Warren and Massachusetts Delegation Members on Massachusetts Nurses Negotiations.

My Statement on Three Years Since the October 7 Hamas Terrorist Attack on Israel.

Trump’s war in Iran is causing heating bills to skyrocket this winter. To add insult to injury, he wants to zero out funding that helps families pay those skyrocketing bills. I'm fighting to expand LIHEAP, because families shouldn't have to make sacrifices to keep the heat on.

Iran has no nuclear weapons and can’t “take out” L.A. or San Diego. But a U.S. President nevertheless inviting it to do so puts us in 25th Amendment territory. Trump is unfit and must go.

USPS is continuing to play games with people’s mail by proposing to close post offices in Watertown, Allston, Fields Corner, and other communities across Massachusetts. I’m demanding USPS cease this campaign of postal office closures immediately.
