The House GOP just passed a $4.5 trillion tax cut for ultra wealthy billionaires. They want to pay for it with hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

The Trump admin's abrupt and unconscionable stop-work order jeopardized the welfare of countless children. Now, Trump's gearing up to target babies who've been separated from their families. It's wrong and it must stop. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/25/m...
Trump's attacks on the National Park Service—including firing 1000 National Park Service workers—will only bring chaos and confusion to our parks and their millions of visitors. National parks preserve our country’s nature, heritage, and history. We must save them, not sabotage them.
Last night, Musk and DOGE fired another 1,400 VA employees. Trump vowed to put veterans first. Instead, he’s leaving them behind, making them search harder and wait longer for care. Betrayal.
Trump’s USDA has deleted climate data from its website, but farmers are suing to get it back. I applaud them in their effort to oppose Trump’s Oil-garchy. We must not let vital climate data disappear.

It's inhumane that Trump is throwing out necessary protections for nearly half a million Haitians in the US. TPS is a critical program for helping people, including more than 4,700 Haitian TPS holders in Massachusetts, escape violence and probable death. We should not be tearing communities apart.
Trump’s new foreign policy: strength through surrender. Why else vote against a resolution demanding Russia leave Ukraine? Unless the goal is to Make Moscow Great Again.
This censorship campaign is wrong and dangerous. Trump is trying to turn the FCC into the Federal Censorship Commission and FTC into the Federal Truth Commission. We cannot allow that to happen.
These aren’t neutral moves. They're driven by baseless conspiracy theories about conservative censorship and designed to intimidate Big Tech to adopt speech policies that promote conservative speech. Trump wants to force the entire internet to act like a MAGA echo chamber.
While Elon Musk disrespected and undermined federal workers, Trump has escalated his war on online speech. Last week, FTC opened an inquiry into whether platforms censor users based on their speech and FCC leaked that it may issue an "advisory opinion" on Section 230.
I want to talk to you about Donald Trump's censorship campaign:
Stephen Feinberg, CEO of the private equity firm that made millions gutting Steward hospitals in Massachusetts and across the country, made decisions that cost lives. He should not be confirmed. apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/invest...
What did Musk accomplish last week? He and Doge fired 350 workers at DOE without realizing they worked on nuclear security and then had to rehire them. Embarrassing and terrifying. By his own metric Musk should be fired.
The Trump Pentagon agrees to fly dangerous V22 Ospreys over the Super Bowl but refuses to commemorate Massachusetts resident and abolitionist hero Frederick Douglass with the usual military honors after ending celebrations relating to Black History Month. Outrageous. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
The cruelty is the point. ICE is now targeting babies. This must not stand.

On National Caregivers Day, we recognize the critical work of family caregivers who work tirelessly around the clock to support their loved ones. That's why I am fighting for their improved economic security, access to respite care and peer support, and health and wellbeing.
Trump is trying to rewrite history by claiming that Russia did not start its brutal war with Ukraine. Why? To open up business opportunities in Russia for his family and friends. Trump is blatantly lying to the world to line his own pockets. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...
