A record number of supertankers are preparing to ship American oil overseas—another way for Big Oil to profit from Trump's illegal and reckless war in Iran. Oil exports pollute our communities and reduce our energy security, while our prices continue to rise at the pump.

Trump’s war is sending oil prices soaring and Big Oil is cashing in. Families pay more at the pump. CEOs profit. That’s not energy policy. That’s profiteering. Instead, I’m advocating for a tax on big oil windfall profits, and for oil execs to cut their pay.

Oil CEOs Raked in Money From Trump’s Iran War
Energy executives sold stock worth $1.4 billion in the first quarter on the back of historic shock to the world’s crude supplies
20 years ago, Massachusetts led the nation on health care for all—because no one should be priced out of caring for themselves and their families. Now it’s time to finish the job nationwide.
Always a joy to be in Chelsea at La Colaborativa! I was able to hear directly from community leaders and families about food access, economic development, and growing small businesses. Grateful to have such relentless and visionary partners in this fight. Honored to be a part of the work ahead.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s illegal war on Iran is a tax hike on American small businesses and families. Enough. End the war, end Trump’s affordability crisis, and end the pain on Main Street.
In February, Massachusetts experienced a blizzard that battered businesses and infrastructure, shut off power, and buried communities under historic levels of snow. I’m joining with my colleagues in the MA delegation to urge FEMA to approve Gov. Healey’s request for needed relief.

Trump wants to claim victory in his war with Iran but he's only made a bigger mess. 13 US troops and thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Gas has spiked to $4 a gallon. We need diplomacy to end this war now.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Is Strait of Hormuz Open Again? Maybe, but Few Ships Are Using It. There were conflicting reports about the status of the vital shipping waterway in the cease-fire with Iran." Full text of story linked in reply.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in February offered small businesses temporary relief from what has become a year of pain and uncertainty for Main Street. We must stop the pain from becoming permanent. Trump must automatically refund his tariff taxes.
Graphic of headline that reads "Opinion, Letters to the Editor. Sen. Edward J. Markey: Make tariff refunds automatic." Full text of story linked in reply.
I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.
Reminder: Right now, Democrats have a chance to stand up to Trump's chaos. Trump just requested an additional $1.5 trillion in military funding. We cannot hand over a huge check to a President intent on committing war crimes. I will do everything in my power to block it.
Donald Trump said “a whole civilization will die tonight”. There is no room for interpretation. The President of the United States is threatening genocide in Iran.
