RFK Jr and Trump are letting a measles outbreak run wild. And after they cut Medicaid, children won’t have access to the care they need to survive it. Castor oil won’t save us from this. But Vaccines and health care will.
Donald Trump says he wants to cut costs. Then he says “Drill baby drill”. Thats code for tax cuts for his fossil fuel billionaire friends at the expense of your energy bill.
Then, I’ll be joined by President Chrissy Lynch of Massachusetts AFLCIO at Trump’s speech so we can look Trump in the eyes as he threatens workers across the country. Massachusetts won’t back down.
At 2pm, I’m hosting a press conference with the Massachusetts delegation, community leaders and @mayorwu.boston.gov to push back on the Trump administration’s attacks on our Commonwealth. I’ll be streaming here. Join us.
Today will be a busy day. And Donald Trump is going to do his very best to plunge us deeper into despair. But we can’t let him. I want to talk to you about some of what I’ll be doing 👇
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.
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.
To be clear here, the Verizon communication system to air traffic control is breaking down very rapidly. The FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk. 

The Starlink terminals are being sent at NO COST to the taxpayer on an emergency basis to restore air traffic control connectivity.

The situation is extremely dire.
