Republicans are blocking IRS funding that would force wealthy tax evaders to pay their fair share. Now, Donald Trump has handed over the keys to the Treasury to his buddy Elon—a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

Instead of being helpful for workers, Trump’s tariffs are disorganized and will do nothing for economic growth. Millions of New England households are going to pay more at the grocery store and to stay warm in the middle of winter.
This is yet another example of Chairman Carr rapidly turning the FCC into the Federal Censorship Commission. It’s wrong and dangerous. www.wsj.com/business/med...
If you’re wondering how RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing went.
Trump’s ridiculous blaming of last night’s tragic crash on FAA diversity policies is disgusting and a distraction. Let’s let the expert investigators do their work.
The letter from Chairman Carr announcing a new FCC investigation into NPR and PBS member stations is baseless. He cites no evidence at all. Instead, this investigation is a dangerous attack on public media and local journalism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...
Donald Trump is so determined to discriminate against trans people that he would issue an executive order threatening funding for hospitals and health centers that provide care for every American just to bully transgender children. Disgusting.
I will not stop fighting to protect trans rights.
The "Doomsday Clock" is now closer to midnight than ever before. We must block the dangerous Trump agenda that will lead us into a new nuclear arms race and accelerate global warming. As the world drifts closer to catastrophe, we don’t have a moment to lose. www.boston.com/news/world-n...
The Trump administration values witch hunts over education, discrimination over access, and the opinion of far-right Project 2025 politicians over educators and parents. Shameful. thehill.com/homenews/edu...
As we witness more tragic climate change-induced disasters like the wildfires in Los Angeles, broadcast AM radio continues to be a critical lifeline for people across the country. That's why I'm reintroducing my AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.
When people show you who they are—believe them. Duffy's first action wasn't clarifying which DOT programs were affected by the illegal funding cut-off. Instead, he moved to roll back standards protecting American families’ budgets in order to line the pockets of Big Oil. thehill.com/policy/energ...
My statement on Trump’s funding cut-off. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
HHS impacts every single American. From how much you pay for prescription drugs, medical tests, and appointments to how long patients have to wait to see their doctor and how safe your food is to eat. RFK Jr. is unqualified to lead. www.newsweek.com/sen-markey-r...
Donald Trump's transgender military ban is weakening our military readiness, our national security, and our unity. It is unconstitutional and it is wrong. I am with the thousands of transgender servicemembers committed to serving this nation. Trans rights are human rights.
I'm glad a federal judge has blocked Trump's federal funding cut-off for now. But I’ve heard from community health centers who couldn’t get funding they needed to provide critical care to their patients. Congress appropriated money for this purpose—this unlawful cut-off must end.
Donald Trump is trying to bully the American people into submission by ignoring the law and cutting off government resources. This is what dictators do. I'm asking my colleagues to join me in voting no on his nominees. We cannot give in. youtu.be/5YSaurivM4U?...
I voted no on the confirmation of Sean Duffy because Donald Trump is unconstitutionally freezing federal funding that Congress approved to benefit the American public. Democrats must stand up to this unlawful power grab. The consequences are enormous.
This is unjust, unprecedented, and unlawful. Donald Trump is on the side of the bosses and billionaires and he is mounting a full-blown attack on working people. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...
Trump is unconstitutionally freezing federal funds that Congress sent our constituents and dismantling the democratic system. This isn't business as usual—Congress needs to stop it. I will not support any Trump nominee who will do his illegal bidding. I urge my colleagues to join.
80% of funding from the IRA goes to GOP districts—this is just one example. Congress passed this funding. It’s not Trump’s to stop on a whim. This is a violation of the law and basic decency. He will put people out of work & stop programs that help pay their bills. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
