While continuing to hold the line against Republicans’ bill to strip voting rights from millions of Americans, I also just passed my bipartisan Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act on the Senate floor. Next up, passing the House to get this funding to Massachusetts and beyond.
Senator Markey holds a rehabilitated turtle named Orzo in Dennis.
Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, so he is threatening to attack Iran’s civil power plants. This would be an attack on civilians. This is what Putin is doing in Ukraine. This would be a war crime. End this war in Iran.
I want to be clear about what happened today: While Republicans keep the Senate in session to try and pass their dangerous SAVE act, they also tried to push through a ridiculous ban on transgender athletes. We blocked it.
Trump is calling on Congress to block states from regulating AI. I’ve successfully struck this down before and I’ll do it again. While the White House chooses to line the pockets of Big Tech billionaires, Congress must protect kids, workers and communities from the harms of AI.
The Trump administration cares about corporations–not students. Gutting the Department of Education as borrowers try to figure out their complicated loans means less support, protection, and oversight. Students need clarity. Not confusion.
Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked legislation to pay TSA workers. They are using TSA workers as pawns to avoid putting a stop torump’s lawless, violent immigration agenda. It’s unconscionable.
Like Trump promised, RFK Jr. has been “going wild” on health since Day One. But when we fight back, we win. Trans people deserve dignity, safety, and access to the lifesaving care their doctors recommend. We celebrate today and keep fighting tomorrow.

Judge rules US government overreached with transgender health care declaration
Cigarette smoking just hit a historic low—and the CDC was silent. RFK Jr.'s cuts to the CDC mean national anti-smoking work has gone up in smoke. It's time to restore the CDC's anti-smoking programs and keep up the progress—not let it burn away.
STAT:
Smoking rates are at a historic low. You’re not hearing about it from the government
Government data released without analysis is leaving experts to fill in gaps left by federal cuts
This National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week, I am in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community as they face down challenges getting respectful, affordable health care. I won’t stop fighting for accessible and compassionate care for all.
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, refuses to admit what we know is true, that Iran posed no imminent threat to our security. Instead, she hides behind a lie and says that Trump “concluded” that Iran posed such a threat. This is Trump's illegal, reckless war of choice.

Gabbard: Trump concluded Iran posed an imminent threat
