The Commerce Committee's passage of my Youth AI Privacy Act is a huge step towards protecting kids’ privacy & safety in the age of AI. This strong bipartisan support for privacy safeguards in AI chatbots draws a clear line: Big Tech must prioritize kids over their bottom line.
Giving Trump more “usable” nuclear weapons would be like giving matches to an arsonist. We must make it harder for Trump to go nuclear, not easier. The Pentagon’s new plan is insane.
Pentagon drafting a new U.S. nuclear strategy in case of regional war with China or Russia, sources say
The classified strategy informs nuclear options for the commander in chief during crises.
It's immoral to strip people of their health coverage just because they can’t afford bail. Congress must pass the Equity in Pretrial Health Coverage Act to make it easier for people who’ve been detained to get the healthcare they need. Healthcare is a human right.
Last night, the Senate unanimously passed a bill reining in illegal robocalls. I'm proud that the bill included four of my amendments to strengthen efforts to trace illegal calls to their source, crack down on sham phone companies & expose the networks that enable these scams.
Massachusetts learned the hard way what happens when private equity puts profits over people. That's why I reintroduced the Health Over Wealth Act with @jayapal.house.gov. It's time we get corporate greed out of our healthcare system.
Climate action can’t wait, and neither can our students. That's why I'm proud to lead the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act with @jayapal.house.gov to build healthier, safer, and more resilient school buildings and invest in our educators—all to protect kids and help them learn.
From Worcester to the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts knows what’s possible with fare-free transit. My new report with @pressley.house.gov shows that going fare free saves money, grows ridership & simplifies transit. We must pass the Freedom to Move Act so communities can go fare free.
When Ralph de la Torre defied a Senate subpoena over Steward Health Care's collapse, the Senate unanimously voted to hold him in contempt. He sued to avoid answering to Congress—and lost. The DOJ must enforce the law and hold de la Torre accountable.
While Turkish President Erdogan continues to lock up journalists, political participants, and minorities, Trump rewards him by lifting sanctions. I'm reintroducing the Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act to make clear that the U.S. supports peace and stands against dictatorships.
I am deeply concerned that Trump may plan to steal the upcoming election. We know that no unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional act is beyond him. We must sound the alarm.

For years, Ralph de la Torre and Cerberus Capital Management bled MA hospitals dry. While they flew on private jets and made millions, workers went unpaid, patients died, and hospitals were forced to close. Massachusetts deserves accountability, and Ralph de la Torre deserves to be in jail.
Cerberus, former Steward Health Care private equity owner, settles with creditors
A company that tripled its investment in Steward will provide some compensation for the damages wrought by the hospital chain’s collapse.
