Trump, McMahon, Musk, and MAGA Republicans are threatening every student, educator, family, and community in this country. They are attempting to destroy public education as we know it—cutting funding and spreading hate instead of creating opportunities for students to thrive. It’s unconscionable.
Trump wants to privatize and pay-wall information that lets you know when to evacuate for a hurricane or a wildfire, or when to shelter for a tornado. NOAA’s forecasting centers keep Americans safe and informed every day—we can’t afford to lose this lifesaving public service.
Trump is trading democracy for dictatorship. Meanwhile, Moscow is toasting with vodka and caviar. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
Last night’s tribute to the 67 people who lost their lives was a beautiful display of strength and compassion. My heart is with the Skating Club of Boston and the entire community as they mourn and memorialize their loved ones. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/02/s...
Elon Musk and his DOGE lackeys may have access to the very files investigating Musk’s companies for violating workers’ rights. We wrote to the Department of Labor because this billionaire boondoggle must be stopped, and DOGE must be held to account. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
Investigating these extreme claims should be the top priority for the Senate Commerce Committee. Today, I urged Chairman Cruz and Ranking Member Cantwell to immediately call Elon Musk to testify about these claims and provide answers to the American people.
Trump illegally fired the EPA Inspector General. Now, Trump and Zeldin have launched a sham investigation so they can freeze critical funds they are legally obligated to disburse. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
The Trump administration is carrying out a literal bank heist, and weaponizing the FBI to do so. Hands off the climate bank. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
Join me on March 8th at Malden High School. Markey.Senate.Gov/TownHall
Five former Defense Secretaries—including one of Trump’s—say Trump
is politicizing the military by firing leaders for partisan reasons. He is. The Senate must hold hearings on his reckless actions. The military must only be beholden to the constitution—not political parties.
The United States doesn’t support Ukraine as a favor, but because it serves our security. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky. Putin started the war, not Zelensky. Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.
In Boston, we know a bank heist when we see one. Zeldin and Martin may not be wearing masks but it’s still a robbery. css.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Predicting the path of tornados, the landfall of hurricanes, or whether it's going to rain next Monday might seem like magic. But it's not. It's the hard work of the people at NOAA who make the impossible possible through science. This is dangerous.
Join me next Saturday at Malden High School for a Town Hall where I’ll answer all your questions about our country, our climate, and our communities. markey.senate.gov/townhall
Today, I introduced the No Cuts to Public Schools Act to protect federal funding for public schools from Trump and McMahon’s pro-privatization, anti-student crusade. I will always fight for students, educators, families, and communities. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
The chaos created by Zeldin is continuing to deprive schools of funding for clean school buses. This bipartisan program means clean air for kids on their way to school and American jobs making clean buses. Zeldin must release all funds now. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s move to recommend that the White House strike down the endangerment finding is a danger to our country. I'm live from the Capitol to fight this climate denial. www.youtube.com/live/uBNic4z...
