The TikTok ban has failed. It’s time for a new approach. Today, I’m releasing a new framework to ensure TikTok remains online while addressing its national security risks. I look forward to reviewing feedback on this discussion draft.
While Republican roadblocks bottleneck Congress, I’m working with @deluzio.house.gov to build the transportation system of the future. By investing in passenger rail, we’re lowering emissions, creating union jobs, and connecting communities across the country. All aboard!

Trump, not satisfied with undermining US democracy, has imposed 50% tariffs on Brazil to pressure it into dropping the case against fellow coup-plotter Jair Bolsonaro. And we are all paying more for coffee! Outrageous.
NYT Headline: No One Is Defying Trump Like Brazil’s President
Faced with threats of 50 percent tariffs and demands to end a criminal case, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said he wouldn’t take orders from President Trump.
Kelly Loeffler has refused to answer my questions about DOGE's access to sensitive information at the SBA for months. Now we know why. Malicious DOGE operatives are stealing American’s data from SBA, DOJ, DHS, the FBI, and more. This is incredibly dangerous. More to come.
Hundreds of pages of records reviewed by WIRED show just how quickly DOGE gained access to systems at the Small Business Administration—and through it, a USDA system that handles payroll for federal law enforcement.
When Emil Bove was nominated, whistleblowers sounded the alarm. Tonight, Republicans ignored it and gave him a lifetime appointment. He is unworthy of serving on and unfit for the bench.
Trump’s tariff cliff is looming on August 1 for businesses across America. I was joined by the full MA delegation in asking Boston Federal Reserve for detailed data on the effects of these tariffs on small businesses. We need to get the facts to keep Main Streets from becoming Pain Streets.

Yesterday’s mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan is yet another heartbreaking reminder of the deadly cost of inaction. Precious lives lost, loved ones forever shattered, and survivors traumatized. Gun violence is a policy failure. Action is overdue.
The EPA once acknowledged greenhouse gases endanger our health. Now it wants to erase that truth. Climate change kills through extreme weather disasters and causes costs to skyrocket. Denial is deadly. Today, I stood outside the EPA to say: we won’t let this rollback stand.
Nearly 3 months after announcing a trade agreement with China, the Trump Administration says they need more time to negotiate. Remember this anytime there’s a new deal announcement.

Children and families are starving to death in Gaza while Trump and Netanyahu send in the GHF in place of international aid. We must not stand idly by. We must surge humanitarian assistance into Gaza now. We must not be complicit. No more starvation. No more suffering.
No one should be denied the civic duty to serve on a jury because of their age or disability. I’m joining @replsimon.bsky.social to end this unjust discrimination and ensure our justice system reflects the diversity of our communities. Justice must be accessible to everyone.
As Trump fills the desks at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with his DOGE soldiers, we need a Chair that will protect its independent mission. I voted against David Wright's confirmation because he failed to hold that line--but I urge him to put public safety above politics.
