The brutal killing of Palestinian American citizen Sayfollah Musallet while visiting family in the West Bank is a tragedy, and one that deserves a full investigation, answers, and accountability. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

It’s time for Trump to face a Frankenstein of his own making—release the Epstein files. No redactions. No more secrets. The American people deserve the truth.
Unbelievable. Just days after the tragic flooding in Texas, NOAA is demanding that public TV stations remove equipment from towers that is critical for these stations to send weather alerts. Trump’s ideological crusade against public broadcasting will cost lives.

Trump and Loeffler are busy shuttering SBA offices and barring immigrants from accessing SBA loans. Instead of supporting small business owners, they're limiting economic opportunity for entrepreneurs.   Ranking Member Velázquez and I demand an explanation www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/15/b...
Trump illegally cut $7 billion in education funding and fired a third of the Dept of Education. Communities now must figure out how to educate our youth without the federal funding and support they need. Trump is anti-student, anti-family, anti-educator, and just plain cruel.
Supreme Court allows mass layoffs at Education Department as Trump seeks to close the agency
I am devastated by this morning's unimaginable tragedy in Fall River, and I am sending my prayers and support to the victims' families. I am grateful for the first responders who ran bravely into the fire to save lives, and I wish all those injured a full and fast recovery.
Instead of supporting America’s small businesses, Trump and Loeffler are trying to gut the SBA’s workforce. I'm introducing the SOS Act to prohibit reductions in force in offices that provide vital services and programs to small businesses and entrepreneurs. No more games.
Following Supreme Court Order on Federal Employee Layoffs, Ranking Member Markey Introduces Legislation to Prevent Workforce Cuts at the Small Business Administration
