Mourning the loss of my friend, Senator Jay Rockefeller. A leader in the fight to deliver e-rate for children across the country and a consumer protection and online privacy champion. My thoughts are with his family and friends as we mourn this profound loss.

Congratulations to my Congresswoman @whipkclark.bsky.social, the first woman to serve as Majority Leader in the US House of Representatives. There is no one better to lead our Commonwealth and our country as we take back the majority and take on Donald Trump.
Senator Chris Murphy is working nonstop to protect our democracy and support democratic candidates up and down the ballot. I am relieved to hear he is on the road to recovery and my thoughts are with him and his family.
Glad that following our oversight and local advocacy, Amazon is withdrawing their application to launch autonomous delivery drones in Central Mass at this time. Residents deserve a say in what happens in their communities and I will keep fighting to give them a seat at the table.
We’ve already secured $280 million in federal funding for West-East Rail—and now, we’re announcing $30 million to make railway crossings in West Springfield safer. We’re on an express route to a more connected Commonwealth.
American families are struggling to make ends meet while fossil fuel executives get richer. You can thank Trump’s illegal war in Iran and his vendetta against clean energy. We need to end this chaotic war, end profiteering, and fight for an energy system that puts people first.
Inflation is up. Margins are tighter. Prices are skyrocketing—and small business owners are on the front lines of Trump’s war on Main Street. Small businesses and workers should not have to bear the costs of Trump’s reckless economic policies.
Heartbroken by the loss of the great Dolores Huerta. She spent her life speaking truth to power, fighting for the rights of migrant workers, women, and all those standing against oppression. We must honor her legacy and continue her fight for justice. May she rest in power.
Trump wants to build more dirty, expensive gas to power massive data centers, and he’s turned the EPA into Every Polluter’s Ally to make this wish come true. No more of this corrupt administration bowing to fossil fuel CEOs at the expense of working people.
After 8 months, Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war in Iran has cost Americans almost $50 billion so far. With oil and gas costs, the total is almost $200 billion. Families should not be paying for a war they never approved and do not support. End this disaster now.
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.
The Trump admin is playing games instead of prioritizing robust resources that small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country rely on. I'm fighting alongside AFGE to demand transparency from Trump’s SBA and to ensure Main Street can grow and thrive.
