During AAPI Heritage Month, and every day, we celebrate the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities who make Massachusetts stronger through advocacy, public service, small businesses, education, healthcare, the arts and so much more. Our diversity is our strength.
Thanks to Trump, America is losing the clean energy race. Last year, China invested $60 billion more in clean energy—and installed SEVEN times more wind, solar, and storage—than we did. Reviving American clean energy leadership will mean cheap, reliable energy for all.
Graphic of headline that reads "Inside Climate News: China Widens Its Clean Energy Lead, Chinese companies account for more than half of global investments in clean energy manufacturing since 2019, while new U.S. investments declined last year." Behind the headline is a photo of workers in a factory.
Honored to celebrate the opening of La CASA today in Villa Victoria—the largest Latino cultural center in New England. La CASA will be a new home for art, activism, and opportunity. A place for communities to come together to protect collective memories and create new legacies.

Abortion must remain safe, legal, and accessible. That’s why I joined every Senate Democrat in calling on the Supreme Court to preserve the right to receive mifepristone by mail. This case isn’t over–we’ll continue to fight attacks on reproductive health and freedom.
Trump’s love affair with coal has cost Americans hundreds of millions of dollars—all to keep the oldest, dirtiest fossil plants hanging around. We must pass my bill to stop Trump’s abuse of the energy emergency authority that's forcing families to fund his pet pollution projects.
Trump’s Push to Keep Coal Plants Open Is Costing Hundreds of Millions
Costs have been mounting in the year since the Trump administration began directing aging coal plants to stay open.
One month ago, my bipartisan bill reauthorizing our essential innovation programs became law. With these programs reopened, small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country are once again empowered to lead America forward as innovators and job creators.

“The American people deserve to have access to the most innovative technologies,” Markey said in a statement. “With a bipartisan, five-year authorization signed into law, small businesses are once again empowered to create these innovative technologies and tackle our nation’s most pressing challenges head-on.”
Children can’t learn on an empty stomach. School meals should be stigma-free and easily accessible for every student. Proud to join @repilhan.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov as they introduce this important legislation.

No child should have to sit in a classroom hungry or worried about where their next meal will come from.

Excited to introduce the Universal School Meals Program Act with 
@SenSanders
 to feed kids with free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to students year-round.
“Smart” glasses—dangerously dumb idea. DHS’s troubling record of using surveillance to silence protesters & target communities makes clear what this proposal really is: a tool for unchecked, wearable surveillance. DHS must immediately reverse course on this dystopian technology.

I’m proud to be from Malden, a city of immigrants—just like the Markeys—who keep the American Dream alive. In our city—and in our Commonwealth—we know that immigrants make America great.

Data centers are eating up more and more of our electricity—and it’s causing chaos in the grid. Families shouldn’t have to worry if their bills are going to shoot up or if their power will shut off because a data center moves in next door. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...
An absolute joy to meet with the crew of the Artemis II yesterday. In dark times, they have helped us to raise our gaze to the constellation of possibility. Thank you for your service as you inspire generations to come.
