Hurricane Melissa was supercharged by climate change — a crisis brought on by greedy Big Oil and Big Gas billionaires and their complete disregard for the lives they've cut short and the devastation they've wreaked. Climate change is real and it’s deadly.

Global Warming Made Hurricane Melissa More Damaging, Researchers Say
Climate change enabled the storm to churn faster and grow more quickly, a rapid analysis found.

As Americans struggle to feed their families and federal workers struggle without pay, Trump builds a golden ballroom funded by CEO billionaires and large corporations. We demanded answers about Trump's corruption and pay-to-play politics and got zero answers. Public office is a public trust.

Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide

The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govNov 10(source)

This is good news, but our fight continues. Extremist Republicans are attacking LGBTQ+ rights across the country. We will keep fighting until we achieve full equality for all LGBTQ+ people.

Attorney General Pam Bondi saying the quiet part out loud. The President’s agenda? Forcing millions of Americans to go hungry to give tax cuts to CEO billionaires.

Screenshot of post from AG Pamela Bondi reading: The Supreme Court just granted our administrative stay in this case.

Our attorneys will not stop fighting, day and night, to defend and advance President Trump’s agenda.

Responding to a post reading: Judicial activism at its worst.

A single district court in Rhode Island should not be able to seize center stage in the shutdown, seek to upend political negotiations that could produce swift political solutions for SNAP and other programs, and dictate its own preferences for how scarce federal funds should be spent.

MAGA Republicans are robbing the American people of their dignity.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govNov 7(source)

We are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. And the Republicans are about to let 22 MILLION Americans lose their health insurance. The least we can do is extend the ACA tax credits for the next year and provide some relief. youtube.com/shorts/_fM1L...

The Trump administration is doing everything in its power to deny food assistance to Americans.

Vance on judge's ruling that admin must fully fund SNAP:

"The president and the entire administration are working on that, but we’re not going to do it under the orders of a federal judge. We’re going to do it according to what we think we have to do to comply with the law."

Last night, I was proud to once again cast my vote for @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution. Going to war without consulting the people is what monarchies and dictatorships do. Strong democracies must be willing to debate these issues in the light of day.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govNov 7(source)

The ruthless ICE raid in Allston is a blatant attack on our communities. The Trump administration is targeting and terrorizing hard-working individuals. The cruelty is the point. We will demand answers and support our neighbors.

Far-right Justices have again greenlit Trump's hateful policies. Transgender & nonbinary people deserve to be able to travel freely and safely. I won’t stop fighting to protect the LGBTQ+ community from bigotry and discrimination.

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Fully Fund Food Stamps This Month

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govNov 6(source)

Trump’s manufactured hunger crisis is a moral failure. And now a federal judge agrees with what we all knew: Trump’s plan to withhold SNAP funding and steal food off the tables of millions of Americans is illegal.

Screenshot of headline “Judge orders Trump administration to fully fund food stamps this month. A federal judge rebuked the administration for the way it tried to fund only partial benefits to food stamp recipients.” Article linked in reply.

US attorney for Mass. slams Attorney General Andrea Campbell over ICE comments - The Boston Globe

The top state and federal prosecutors in Massachusetts clashed Tuesday over the ongoing nationwide immigration crackdown.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govNov 6(source)

@massago.bsky.social knows exactly what’s in the Constitution. It’s why she’s led lawsuit after lawsuit against the Trump administration — the most lawless and corrupt administration in history. Like Massachusetts, she respects the rule of law.
