Senator for Massachusetts. Ranker on Senate Small Business Committee & HELP Primary Health & Retirement Security Subcommittee. Fighting for a Green New Deal.
Trump is once again playing the role of Putin’s puppet—pushing a backroom deal that would force Ukraine to surrender territory it holds, slash its military in half, give up long-range weapons, and bar foreign peacekeepers. That’s not peace. That’s Putin’s wishlist.

The world is working on climate action without us—we are letting ourselves get left behind in the past as our competitors race to a livable future. But even this deal doesn’t do what needs to be done. We won’t stop fighting to protect our planet. Our future depends on it.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act turns 50 this month. But Trump's cuts to the Department of Education are threatening its future. I visited with students and educators at BC's Campus School to see firsthand why defending this funding is so essential.

RFK Jr. continues to spread dangerous misinformation that puts American children in harm’s way.

This is unacceptable. RFK Jr. must resign.

This week we celebrated Transgender Awareness Week, culminating in yesterday's Transgender Day of Remembrance to recognize the far too many trans lives lost to violence and suicide this year. We won't stop fighting until everyone can live as their true and authentic selves.

Workers deserve dignity—not predatory debt schemes. I joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social to demand answers from the Trump administration on its decision to walk back enforcement on coercive employer‑driven debt. Our economy can’t thrive when workers are trapped.

Coincidence? Nope—corruption, plain and simple.

Trump is rolling out the red carpet for offshore oil and gas—which will inevitably spill into the ocean and increase costs at home. Trump is doing this while sabotaging offshore wind, the energy source that does the exact opposite. He’s not “unleashing American energy”—he’s underwriting Big Oil.

Big Tech is trying to sneak an AI moratorium into the defense bill. Democrats can't let them.

I'm urging my colleagues to hold firm against this ridiculous attempt to undermine states' abilities to regulate AI.

We beat it once—we can beat it again.

When CPB can track your every move that’s not security—that’s Big Brother. DHS’s seemingly endless expansion of Orwellian surveillance technology must end now.

This is disgusting. Swastikas, nooses, Confederate flags are symbols of hate. We cannot let the Trump administration normalize hate.

Murderous Prince Mohammed bin Salman has said he wants nuclear weapons. Giving Saudi Arabia nuclear technology without the strongest possible safeguards is a recipe for disaster. Congress must ensure there is never a Saudi bomb.

Big Tech bet big on Trump. Now, they’re getting a return on their investment. Trump’s AI order would create a golden age for Big Tech Billionaires and a dark age for kids, workers, and our planet. We must stop it.

Hospitals closing. Delayed treatment. Higher insurance costs. This is the Trump administration’s Make America Sick Agenda.

Saudi Prince MBS had Jamal Khashoggi killed and dismembered with a bone saw. Trump rewarded MBS with dinner at the White House and a defense deal for the Saudis. How about an MBS admission of guilt, consequences, and an apology to Khashoggi’s widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi?

The insatiable greed of Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family fueled the opioid epidemic, which destroyed the lives and livelihoods of countless Americans. Justice for these families won’t be served until the Sacklers are held accountable.

Americans don’t want dirty water. They don't want polluters to run roughshod over their environment. That’s why we have federal laws to protect our water—but Trump and Zeldin are turning the Clean Water Act into a polluter's paradise. Clean water is a right, not an inconvenience.

Trans rights are human rights. I’m proud to partner with Representative Balint to protect gender-affirming health care and fight back against relentless MAGA attacks.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler and Russ Vought, it’s time to stop playing games with workers’ livelihoods. Follow the law and reinstate SBA workers now.

China is expanding its nuclear test site, hoping Trump will give it the green light to resume nuclear testing. This is the biggest gift Trump could give to Beijing — tied with a huge radioactive bow.

Getting from point A to point B shouldn't mean poisoning people overseas. Recycling car batteries can be done safely. Instead of promoting pollution abroad, automakers must commit to sourcing recycled car batteries from suppliers with pollution safeguards and worker standards.

Trump has always had the power to release the Epstein files. Now that Congress has voted, Trump must direct the Department of Justice to release the files--no delays, no excuses, no hiding. Survivors have waited long enough.
November 19, 2025 at 12:35 AM
First, Donald Trump sided with his billionaire Big Tech buddies and endorsed the AI regulation moratorium. Now, MAGA Republicans are trying to sneak it into the defense bill. Democrats must stand up to this all-out attack on AI regulation.
November 19, 2025 at 12:11 AM
Today’s vote is an important moment of justice for the survivors who have shown strength and resilience. But if Trump is serious about wanting to release the Epstein files, he could direct the DOJ to do so immediately. No more coverups.
