Climate change supercharges a host of deadly threats: extreme heat waves and weather disasters, toxic air pollution, and more. Our resolution urges the Trump administration to fight this public health crisis and strengthen our health system against climate change—not slash it.
July 10, 2025 Sen. Markey and Rep. Barragán Introduce Resolution to Confront Rising Public Health Threats from Climate Change

The public deserves transparency—not backroom deals. That’s why @lujan.senate.gov and I are calling on the FCC to hold a public vote on the Paramount-Skydance merger.
Tech: Democrats push FCC’s Trusty on Paramount Democratic Sens. Ed Markey (Mass.) and Ben Ray Luján (N.M.) are pushing the newest member of the Federal Communications Commission to hold a public vote on the proposed Paramount-Skydance merger. The letter to Republican Commissioner Olivia Trusty comes after Paramount settled a lawsuit with President Donald Trump over political coverage by Paramount-owned CBS News.

Prime Day and every day, Amazon makes millions in profits off the backs of workers who don’t make enough to pay for food or health care. Bezos gets richer while workers get hurt.  Workers > billionaires. Solidarity > sales.

Black women earn just 66 cents for every dollar earned by white men. This is a systemic failure. It’s a theft of labor, time, and dignity--stolen for generations. Pay Black women what they are owed. No more delays. No more excuses.

Here are some facts: 1. In the past week, climate-fueled floods killed more than 100 people in Texas. 2. The National Weather Service at NOAA has been under relentless attack by the Trump admin. 3. I asked Trump's NOAA nominee if he supports cuts to its budget. He said yes.

The Trump administration’s love affair with coal is just like the Big Ugly Bill the Republicans just passed: If it hikes your energy bill, puts your health at risk, and would be modern in the 1800s, they’re going to fight for it at all costs.
Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright America's capacity to reclaim its leadership in global energy relies on our ability to support a domestic supply chain—starting with COAL and CRITICAL MINERALS.

When a storm hits, an alert from public media station may be the only warning rural communities get. Cutting this community resource puts lives at risk. Tonight, I made it clear: public media is a lifeline—we must fund it, not gut it.
Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJul 10(source)
Today on the floor, I made it clear: voting to confirm Bill Briggs as Deputy Administrator of the SBA means putting Trump’s interests ahead of small businesses. The SBA needs a leader who stands with entrepreneurs and employees, not Wall Street. youtu.be/Zwkzp4XbiBY

Trump before the election: “I know President Putin very well” and I will end the war in Ukraine on “day one.” Trump now: Putin is “very nice to us all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.” So which is it?
Putin, Undeterred by Trump’s Words, Escalates His War Against Ukraine The Russian leader is convinced that Moscow’s battlefield superiority is growing, and that Ukraine’s defenses may collapse in the coming months, according to people close to the Kremlin.

Trump promised 90 deals in 90 days—so far he’s delivered countless rants and endless delays. Small businesses shouldn’t need a Truth Social account to figure out how much they’ll be paying in tariffs in three weeks.
Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJul 9(source)
I called out Trump's nominee to head up our weather and ocean agency after he told me he would back Trump in slashing @noaa.gov’s budget—even as our nation reels from climate disasters. Cuts to staff and resources put lives at risk. We need investment in science, not sabotage.
Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJul 9(source)
On July 9th, 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. As President Trump attempts to revoke birthright citizenship, may today be a reminder that every individual born or naturalized in the United States is a citizen and entitled to equal protection under the law.
