On International Holocaust Remembrance Day we come together to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of others persecuted by the Nazis. Today, and every day, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to root out antisemitism and bigotry everywhere.
I look forward to questioning RFK Jr. In next weeks HELP Committee hearing. I will do everything in my power to protect the American people from his leadership. What do you want me to ask him?
I'm joining my colleagues in condemning Donald Trump's pardoning of violent insurrectionists. It's dangerous and it's wrong.
It shouldn't be too much to ask for senators to oppose unconditional pardons for people found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers. I'm introducing a simple, one-line resolution condemning these pardons & will try to pass it on the Senate floor this week.
First, Trump pardons cop beaters and now he’s firing the cops on the beat that protect from fraud, mismanagement, and wrongdoing. Inspectors General uphold accountability and transparency. Trump is playing from the Nixon playbook. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
My grandparents and great-grandparents were Irish immigrants. They came to America in search of a better life, and now their grandson is a United States Senator from Malden. America is a nation of immigrants, and we are going to stay that way.
Trump may have withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement to benefit Big Oil, but our national climate agenda doesn't live or die by his pen. I am reintroducing the We Are Still In resolution because when it comes to fighting the climate crisis, we still mean business.
Green background with text that reads, “Despite President Trumps decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, WE ARE STILL IN "By withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, President Trump is attempting to sacrifice our leadership on the world stage and put our livable future at risk-all for the benefit of Big Oil billionaires. But our national climate agenda doesn't live or die by President Trump's pen. “Climate action will continue to create good-paying jobs and a healthy environment regardless of our official stature within the Paris climate agreement. To our international allies: when it comes to fighting the climate crisis by your side, we still mean business.””

Next Thursday, RFK Jr. will sit before our Senate HELP Committee. We cannot allow America’s already broken health care system to be run by someone so dangerous and unqualified.
A federal judge just confirmed what we already knew, that Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. Trump might be the President, but he is not above the Constitution. He doesn't get to decide who is an American.
From hurricanes in North Carolina to wildfires in Los Angeles and a snow storm in the South—the climate crisis is here. We're not going to stop fighting for climate action.
Any Republican who fails to condemn Trump's pardons of these insurrectionists is supporting crime & violence & disrespecting law enforcement. Republicans say they ’back the blue’, but they are lauding violent criminals who left our officers black and blue on January 6. abcnews.go.com/Politics/oat...
Trump is trying to destroy decades of work advancing environmental justice at the federal level. But striving to ensure access to clean air, water, and land for all is not radical. Even with Trump’s doomsday agenda, we won't stop fighting for a just and livable future for all.

Donald Trump's day one executive orders on climate aren't a show of force, they're a show of fear. Because Big Oil is running scared--they're terrified that the American people are embracing a renewable alternative, and they want to choke out the competition. Good luck.
With one executive order and no justification, Donald Trump has kneecapped our ability to respond. His attempt at America first is actually putting our health and safety last.
Diseases and viruses know no borders. By being part of the WHO, the United States could get information about public health threat in other countries that could harm Americans—like Ebola outbreaks—and take action to make sure that we are prepared to respond.
Pharma CEOs dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Billionaires sat in the front row of his inauguration. And, on Day 1, Trump killed a Biden program to guarantee $2 generic drugs for seniors. Trump is making clear who he serves, and it is not the American people.
