Musk and DOGE are so dangerous and incompetent they fired more than 300 staff at the NNSA only to have to call them back when they realized they were involved with nuclear security. There is no Oops! with nuclear weapons. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's ironic that the Trump admin, which promised to lower costs, is approving fossil fuel export projects that will increase prices for American households. It's almost like they're in it for the billionaires, not the people. Approving Commonwealth LNG is a huge mistake. We will fight back.
I’m grateful for Dr. Wegrzyn’s partnership. Massachusetts is a central hub for ARPA-H because we lead the US and the world in life-saving research. The Trump administration should not get in the way of that work. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump just said: “There’s no reason for us to be building brand-new nuclear weapons. We already have so many.” Correct. Our nuclear budget is insanity. Now let’s hold Trump to this commitment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Textbooks teach students about the 3 branches of federal government, created in the US Constitution. Article I - Congress. Article II - the presidency. Article III - the judiciary. Elon Musk believes there is a never-seen Article 3.5 that applies only to him. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/14/o...
Elon Musk and DOGE are playing a dangerous game. Cutting 300 NNSA staff overnight weakens oversight and could leave our nuclear stockpile vulnerable. This isn’t smart savings—it’s dangerously irresponsible. www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...
Education funding helps us work toward a country where every student can go to school knowing they will get the same education as the family that can afford private school. Yesterday, Trump called it a con job.
RFK Jr. has just been confirmed by the Senate. I will do everything in my power to hold him accountable and keep Americans safe.
Here's a list of fossil-fueled Trump nominees that would be banned by my BIG OIL from the Cabinet bill:
Chris Wright, DOE
Kathleen Sgamma, BLM
Aaron Szabo, EPA
Audrey Robertson, DOE
Kyle Haustveit, DOE
William Doffermyre, DOI
Fossil execs must not run our government.
As the top Democrat on the Senate's Primary Health Subcommittee I'm joined by @warren.senate.gov , @schumer.senate.gov, and our colleagues as we demand the Trump admin, Elon Musk, and the DOGE keep their hands off Medicare and Medicaid. thehill.com/newsletters/...
DOGE access to the DOE information technology system is unacceptable. We must keep Elon Musk and his minions away from our most sensitive nuclear weapons information. I am demanding answers from Secretary Wright. www.reuters.com/world/us/dem...
Yesterday, the richest man in the world fired hundreds of workers who support America’s small businesses. After being rescinded last week, pink slips were reissued this morning. DOGE doesn't 'measure twice, cut once' they cut twice, then cut again.

On January 6th, the insurrectionists had pepper spray and clubs. At NOAA, Elon Musk is trying to take over our government with hackers and coders. We won't stand for it.
If you're wondering why Trump, Musk, and Vance are attacking the judiciary👇
Birthright citizenship order - BLOCKED.
Federal funding cut off - BLOCKED.
Illegal feds resignation plan - BLOCKED.
Access to Treasury's vital data system - BLOCKED.
Firing 2000 USAID workers - BLOCKED.
Drastic NIH Grant Cuts - BLOCKED.
Removing public health websites - BLOCKED.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are illegally cutting off funding to our nation's essential services. But no one dares touch the Pentagon budget. Join us as we fight to slash the Pentagon and invest in our communities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx6E...
My statement with the Massachusetts Delegation Blasting Trump's Drastic Cuts to National Institutes of Health Funding. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
Thank you Attorney General Campbell and all of the Attorneys General coming together to say no to drastic NIH cuts. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are breaking the law. This must not stand.
