While corporations are making record profits, workers who suffer discrimination are denied full justice due to outdated caps on legal compensation. The Equal Remedies Act ends these arbitrary limits and ensures all workers, including seniors, receive their full jury awards.
Following weeks of advocacy from my office, the federal delegation, the American Postal Workers Union, and most importantly the community, it is great news that the USPS has reversed course on its decision to close the Shutesbury Post Office. Service will continue uninterrupted.
Republicans just voted to give a $70 billion blank check to Trump’s ICE thugs and placed no checks on the $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. They’ll give relief to criminals but none to families.
While your electricity bills are going up and taking cash out of your budget, Trump is stealing out of our national wallet—using taxpayer dollars to pay for polluting, expensive, and unnecessary coal plants. We need to save Americans’ money, not give it to Trump’s fossil donors.
Graphic of headline that reads “Trump plans $700 million in new coal support, White House official says.” Full text of article linked in reply.
The cost of groceries rose faster last month than at any other time in the past four years—all while personal savings plummeted. More loans won’t fix Trump’s affordability crisis or deliver real relief to American families. Ending Trump’s reckless economic policies will.
The House, for the first time, voted to halt Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran. The Senate did the same two weeks ago, a vote I was proud to join. The dam is breaking. GOP support for the war is evaporating. Trump must end this war now.
The Trump admin's war on science continues. They think that burying data that shows how the climate is changing will help them kill our momentum to take climate action—but we won’t stop fighting, alongside the people living through floods, wildfires, droughts, & climate chaos.
My investigation revealed Waymo relies on people overseas to help their self-driving cars. Now, there are hundreds of examples of Waymo endangering the public. Without transparency requirements in law, Waymo will not be held accountable. Pass my AV Safety Data Act now.

With gas prices skyrocketing, Americans deserve choices in how they travel. That’s why I’m leading Democrats to fight for a historic investment in world class transit, passenger rail, EV charging, and safe roads for walking and biking.
Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran is driving up costs for families and small businesses everywhere—and there’s no end in sight. Trump himself said yesterday “I don’t care” if negotiations to end the war are over. Ridiculous. End the war. End the pain on Main Street.
OECD says protracted war could drag on global growth, push up inflation

Thank you to @cwaunion.bsky.social for bringing together workers from across the country to fight for their rights in the age of AI. I am proud to stand with workers and say NO to robot bosses and NO to spying on employees. The future of work must be one where AI stands for All Included.
