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’s reversal of the Biden administration’s AI agenda may usher in a ‘Golden Age’ for tech billionaires’ bank accounts, but it will be a Dark Age for workers, marginalized communities, and the environment. apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump may have withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement to benefit Big Oil, but our national climate agenda doesn't live or die by his pen.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.
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.
Big Oil spent $455 million over 10 months to elect and lobby Trump and Republicans. This investment is already paying dividends—after just two days in office, Trump is rolling back basic and vital environmental protections. We must stop Big Oil. climatepower.us/research-pol...
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.
Cancelling the flights of refugees who have already been vetted and approved for resettlement in the United States is unconscionable. I urge the Trump administration to resume these flights immediately. apnews.com/article/refu...
Today would have marked the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, Senate Republicans are pushing their extremist "Born Alive" bill. They’ll keep pushing abortion restrictions until they get a national ban.
Donald Trump wants to loot health care for ordinary Americans to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Trump sold out to the ultra wealthy but I didn’t. I won't stop fighting to protect people over profit.
Our immigration system should be about compassion and celebration, not incarceration and separation.
To our immigrant friends, family members, and neighbors: Know Your Rights www.boston.gov/departments/...
Trump’s energy agenda is to attack American renewable energy jobs and raise power costs and increase economic chaos. American workers lose, people who pay electric bills lose, and only the Big Oil Barons win. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...
I'll be reintroducing my We Are Still In Resolution with my colleagues. We're not going to stop working to achieve the Paris Agreement—for good-paying jobs, clean air & water, & a livable future. To our allies: when it comes to climate action, we still mean business. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
