The best thing we can do to protect our brave servicemembers is to bring them home from this economic, moral, and foreign policy disaster. End Trump’s illegal Iran war now.
Nearly 100 U.S. troops injured in last two weeks of Iran war, Pentagon says
The disclosure came as the U.S. military identified two U.S. soldiers who died following an attack in Jordan on Friday.

In April, I reauthorized the SBIR/STTR programs to support our innovators. Since then, more than $39 million went to Bay State small businesses through the NIH SBIR/STTR programs to develop treatments for Alzheimer's, technologies to help detect early-stage cancers, and more.
Trump putting a 50 percent tariff on Canada in response to the wildfire smoke is like an arsonist trying to collect on the insurance policy after the house burns down. Tariffs don’t put out wildfires, firefighters do. If Canada is asking for our help, we should send it.

Trump’s tariff tax carousel just keeps going around and around—and small business and American families are the ones getting whiplash. Trump must stop his MAGA merry-go-round and put an end to the Pain on Main Street.
Trump says he will impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods in 30 days
The move has nothing to do with the Canadian wildfires Trump complained about on Sunday, an official said.
These brave troops gave their lives in service to our nation. How many more must die for Trump’s war of choice? End Trump’s illegal Iran war now. Not another nickel.
Death Toll of U.S. Service Members Rises to 17 Over the Weekend
President Trump has vowed to avenge the deaths of any U.S. military personnel.
Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.
Yesterday, I voted to block Trump’s plan to let AI decide whether Medicare will approve or deny your medical care. Every Senate Republican supported Trump’s scheme. Doctors should be deciding what care seniors need – not a computer program.
Trump has no idea how to end his reckless and expensive war in Iran, so now he is bombing civilian targets. This is a war crime. We already know how to end this war. Stop the bombing now.
US strikes bridges and collapses a tower at a key port as its Iran campaign expands
Airport workers deserve good wages, quality health care, and dignity on the job. I’m proud to partner with @chuygarcia.house.gov on the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act to raise standards and put workers first.   Together with @seiu.org, we’re fighting for good jobs at every airport.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires is darkening skies and getting in our lungs across the state. With a record El Niño forecast for this year, we are looking at more wildfire smoke days ahead. The climate crisis is here and it does not stop at our borders. Stay safe, Massachusetts.
When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, my father cared for her in our home for thirteen years. My provisions to expand services for family caregivers are what I wish my father had. I’m proud to have the full support of the Senate in reauthorizing the Older Americans Act.
My new bill with @warren.senate.gov & @trahan.house.gov would secure millions in emergency water system grants, so when disasters strike like the burst pipe in Haverhill, communities aren’t left on the hook or in harm’s way. It’ll mean faster action to keep towns safer and businesses open.
SBA Administrator Loeffler claimed @sba-gov.bsky.social hasn't heard from small businesses that are struggling because of Trump's tariff taxes. We have the receipts. Main Street is suffering. Trump must be held accountable.
