Trump says he will sell our most advanced fighter jets to the Saudis, who US intelligence says killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Looks like Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar business deals with the Trump family are paying off. This is outrageous.

Your sticker shock on your monthly gas bill is not just driven by the cost of natural gas. Pipeline infrastructure spending is a major factor that jacks up both our rates and utilities' profits--that's why my Pipeline Accountability Act would support smarter system investments.
Why Mass. gas bills are rising — and what we need to do about it
Most of what customers now pay each month no longer goes toward fuel, but toward rebuilding and maintaining a gas network that is larger than necessary to meet future needs.

Trump must work with Russia to stick with New START. This nuclear treaty—the only legal limit on Russian nuclear forces—expires in less than 100 days. No one wants a new nuclear arms race.
Airport workers keep our country moving.—yet Trump’s agenda grinds away their rights and wages. Yesterday I stood with 32BJSEIU to say: Every worker—at Logan and airports across the county—deserves dignity, good wages, and consistent, reliable benefits.

I visited the Milford  Youth  Center with Representative Murray and witnessed a community masterpiece—kids of all backgrounds and ages having fun and thriving together. We must continue to support places like this where every child belongs.
I sat down with Oscar-winning Director and Producer Kathryn Bigelow to discuss her new film House of Dynamite on Netflix, which serves as a prescient warning amid renewed threats of a new nuclear arms race. Watch now:
This is completely unacceptable. After holding SNAP benefits hostage, the Trump administration is trying to make it even harder for people to receive the support they need to feed their families. This is wrong.

The move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the nation’s largest anti-hunger program and get rid of “fraud.”
As Trump shows off his golden Oval Office and gilded ballroom, his Administration is planning to force 170,000 Americans, including 3,800 people in Massachusetts, out of their homes — many of them elderly and disabled. The cruelty is the point.
Screenshot of headline reading “Trump Administration Proposes a Drastic Cut in Housing Grants. In a major shift, HUD’s plan would direct most of the $3.9 billion in homelessness funds away from Housing First to programs that prioritize work and drug treatment.”

Families are already paying too much for energy. Now Big Tech's data centers want to drive costs even higher. I'm urging @ferc.gov to stop unjust utility rate hikes—corporate greed has no place on your power bill.

Yesterday I was in Framingham, talking to small businesses that are being crushed by Trump’s tariffs and racist intimidation. Donald Trump wants to Make America Hate Again. But in Framingham we know—immigrants make us great.
