The Trump administration is reportedly coercing unaccompanied immigrant children to self-deport, including through fear and threats. These cruel attacks on children are reprehensible and they must end.
BLOCKED. A Massachusetts federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its illegal and aggressive third-country deportations. It is inhumane for the Administration to send immigrants, without a shred of due process, to countries where they lack ties and may face torture or persecution.
Screenshot of headline that reads “A judge finds the Trump administration’s third-country deportations unlawful.” Full text linked in reply.
The public deserves to know that these so-called self-driving cars rely on human operators thousands of miles away. I won’t stand by while large tech companies experiment on public roads. That’s not standing in the way of progress; that’s standing up for transparency and safety.
Graphic of Washington Post headline that reads "Opinion: Letters to the Editor. Who is really driving 'driverless' vehicles? Edward J. Markey on self-driving vehicles, parents on snow days and more. Full text linked in reply.
I hope everyone is staying safe and warm in this record-breaking storm. Thank you to all the first responders working around the clock to keep people safe, and to residents across the Commonwealth doing their part to stay inside and help their neighbors as we make it through.
According to a peaceful protestor, a DHS agent told them, "If you keep coming to things like this, you’re going to be on a domestic terrorist watchlist. Then we’re going to come to your house later tonight.” DHS must answer for its grotesque intimidation and surveillance tactics.
Screenshot of headline that reads "DHS accused of using surveillance tech to track legal observers in Maine. Maine residents allege that DHS agents threatened to place them on a domestic terrorist watchlist after scanning their faces and license plates." Full text linked in reply.
Trump is continuing his crusade against public education, this time by putting conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. in charge of school safety. That’s like putting Pam Bondi in charge of releasing the Epstein files. Oh wait.
Screenshot of headline that reads “Trump administration expands efforts to dismantle the Education Department. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s agency will have a new role in managing the federal government’s response to school violence.” Full text linked.
The SAVE Act is a dangerous move to keep Black and Brown voters, women, and LGBTQ+ people from the ballot box. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they have no solutions to the issues that Americans are angry about, so they plan to meddle with the 2026 election. I will vote NO.
Congratulations to Team USA men’s hockey players and Massachusetts natives Matt Boldy, Jack Eichel, and Noah Hanifin. From BC Eagles to BU Terriers, a UMass Lowell River Hawk and two of our own Boston Bruins this was a Bay State Gold medal game. You make our Commonwealth proud.
Do you want to be breathing more mercury and toxic air pollution? The Trump administration thinks you do. It’s sick. Even Trump’s EPA admits that its repeal of mercury will lead to 23% more mercury in the air—poisoning our lungs and our families in a greedy giveaway to Big Coal.

I’ve long demanded Tesla drop its misleading and dangerous “Autopilot” brand. That name deceives consumers and creates unnecessary safety risks. Tesla must cease using the name Autopilot everywhere.

In the case of Main Street vs. Mar-a-lago, America’s small businesses won. Today, the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariffs. We must guarantee that small businesses get immediate relief, and end Trump’s tariff taxes on working people for good.
The VA's new rule could slash disability ratings for veterans whose meds are working. Secretary Collins says it won't be enforced—but veterans shouldn't have to take that on faith. They earned these benefits. The Trump administration must rescind this harmful rule now.
VA backs off rule that would have cut benefits amid outrage
