The Trump administration has made attacking transgender Americans central to its agenda. I want to hear from you. Share your story so we can fight back and defend dignity, safety, and freedom for all.
A century ago, Worcester’s Dr. Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, helping spark the modern space age.
The Bay State has always had a rich tradition of innovation—with Central Mass helping launch us to the stars.
Congratulations to @masslive.bsky.social and the entire Springfield Republican newsroom on winning 13 first-place awards. Our democracy needs strong local journalism now more than ever.
The foundation is cracking. Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center just resigned saying he “cannot in good conscience” support Trump’s war because Iran “posed no imminent threat.” The people deep inside know how wrong this war is. This illegal, reckless war must end now.
A court just blocked a major part of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda. Good. Vaccines save lives. Policy must be guided by science—not conspiracy theories and dangerous misinformation. Today’s ruling is a victory for science, for parents, and for kids across America.
RFK Jr.’s reckless anti-science crusade is turning deadly in the Commonwealth and across the country. He continues to spread vaccine misinformation, cut lifesaving NIH-funded research, and dismantle our public health infrastructure. RFK Jr. must end his Make America Sick Agenda.
Let me get this straight: DHS collected sensitive biometric data they shouldn’t have — and now they can’t even locate it? Outrageous doesn’t begin to cover it.
Last month, I demanded that Trump end this embargo now, as economic conditions grow dire, risking regional humanitarian and refugee crises. We are at a breaking point. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r....
Cuba has gone dark. Trump’s vindictive oil embargo – along with a sanctions regime that has starved Cuba of opportunities to develop its solar and wind – is depriving innocent Cuban citizens of basic necessities and creating a humanitarian crisis. Trump must end the embargo.
The Federal Censorship Commission is threatening broadcasters who don’t cover Trump’s illegal Iran war the way he wants. Democracies don’t censor the media, authoritarians do. I’m demanding that Brendan Carr resign, now.
Trump chose this war and now he wants help. Why would NATO help protect the Strait of Hormuz after Trump did not consult with NATO before he launched this illegal war in Iran? Trump was recently threatening to attack Greenland, part of NATO. Mr. “I don’t need allies” now wants them.
