Americans are paying for this war at the pump. Americans are paying for this war with their lives. Now Trump and Republicans are asking Americans to foot the bill for more of this war with their tax dollars. No. No more funding for this reckless war.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Johnson says Iran supplemental funding bill 'inevitable.'" Background graphic is of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth with TV headline that reads, "Hegseth says Iran faces 'most intense' day of strikes yet.'" Full text of story linked in reply.
Gas prices are soaring at home, but instead of ending his illegal and reckless war abroad, Trump is easing sanctions on Russia to sell more oil. Trump’s war is now benefitting his buddy Putin, who is helping Iran. And more money for Putin will hurt Ukraine. What a disaster.

U.S. Eases Limits on Russian Energy as Oil Prices Soar
The volatility in energy markets because of the war in Iran could not come at a better time for President Vladimir V. Putin.
Trump’s illegal war with Iran is hitting Americans hard—at the pump, at the grocery store, and on their utility bills. Americans deserve to know what the cost of Trump’s reckless actions will be for themselves and their families as he continues this war. I'm calling for answers.
Graphic of headline that reads, "US Senator urges BLS to analyze inflation impact of Middle East conflict." Background photo is of gas pumps. Full text of story linked in reply.
Trump’s strikes on oil infrastructure in Iran released massive plumes of toxic smoke, inflicting environmental warfare on innocent Iranian families—alarming their loved ones in Massachusetts and worldwide. This is a human rights violation. Trump must stop this illegal war.
Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed
Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape
Trump is lying and children are dying in Iran. Trump claimed again that Iran attacked a girls’ school where 175 people died, mostly children, using a Tomahawk missile. Not true. Only the US uses Tomahawks in this war. Trump must own up to this tragedy. We must end this war.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Trump Again Suggests Without Evidence That Iran Struck Elementary School. After a video showed a Tomahawk missile hitting a naval base next to the school, President Trump claimed Iran possesses such weapons. But the U.S. developed the missile and has sold it only to a few close allies." Full text linked in reply. Background photo shows Rescue workers and residents searching through the rubble in the aftermath of a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026.

For 25+ years, green card holders and other lawful immigrants have been eligible for SBA loans, creating jobs and investing in communities. Now, 5+ million entrepreneurs are completely cut off from SBA loans. Trump's SBA must immediately reverse its cruel, anti-immigrant policies.
Washington Business Journal
SBA expands its ban on noncitizen lending
Donald Trump is throwing gasoline on the flames of war in Iran, while at home, Americans are paying higher prices for gasoline at the pump. Take a walk with me to see how prices are skyrocketing as a result of this illegal war.
Trump’s illegal war in Iran is causing the largest oil shock in history. Gas prices are spiking, and Americans will be feeling the pain at the pump. Meanwhile, Trump is not ruling out sending ground troops into Iran. Americans do not want an expensive and endless war abroad.
This is the biggest oil disruption in history

Today we celebrate the strength, leadership, and achievements of women in Massachusetts and around the world. International Women’s Day is a reminder that the fight for equality, dignity, and opportunity for every woman continues, and must continue every day.
So much joy in Easthampton this evening at the CitySpace ArtWalk. Proud to support the artists, musicians, and community that make this city special, and celebrate the $3.5 million I secured to renovate the historic Old Town Hall.
