The EPA proposed a rule that would convert clean air safeguards into a fast-track for data centers and fossil fuel plants. EPA’s duty is to protect Americans from pollution, not to shield corporations from accountability. The agency must withdraw this rule.
Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed a fundamental promise of the 14th Amendment: if you're born in the United States, you're an American citizen. We have, and always will be, a nation of immigrants. Today we celebrate. Tomorrow, we keep fighting to protect our democracy.
Today, the far-right Supreme Court again cleared the way for Trump and MAGA Republicans to discriminate against the trans community. This decision tears trans athletes from their teams and the sports they love. We will keep fighting. Discrimination and hate will not win.
I will continue to fight alongside my partner @pressley.house.gov in this fight for TPS as we push the Senate to act. We won’t stop until we protect all TPS holders.
The implications of the SCOTUS ruling to allow TPS termination are nothing short of catastrophic. Seniors will lose their caregivers. Business owners will lose their staff. And children will lose their classmates. This fight is not over. The Senate must act.

Haitian workers and entrepreneurs are essential members of our community and drivers of our economy. Trump's Supreme Court "win" is a devastating lost for small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country.
The Boston Globe
More than 10,000 Haitian workers in Mass. will lose immigration protections, a move that could 'decimate' industries
The Supreme Court ruled today that states can count timely postmarked ballots arriving after Election Day. Voting should be easy and accessible for all. As the Trump administration pushes to limit mail voting, we must keep fighting to protect every American's right to vote.
I am heartbroken by the reporting out of Venezuela and praying for the hundreds of victims and families still searching for their loved ones. We must come together to provide relief for Venezuela in this devastating moment.
Today is the anniversary of the landmark Obergefell decision—expanding the constitutional right to same-sex marriage and equal protection under the law. As we celebrate this milestone for LGBTQ+ equality, now more than ever we must continue fighting for equal rights and to protect our democracy.
Today in Boston, I stood with community leaders to condemn the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn TPS protection. This fight isn’t over. I will do everything in my power to pass my TPS legislation in the Senate and protect our families, neighbors, and classmates who call America home.

Sign that reads: "CRUELTY IS NOT IMMIGRATION POLICY. IT'S JUST CRUEL."
Gas prices are still high from Trump's illegal war in Iran. Fuel efficiency standards saved drivers money for decades before Trump put Big Oil above Americans. I introduced the Gas Money Saved Act to make sure drivers can buy fuel-efficient cars that keep money in their pockets.
'MARKEY BILL TARGETS CAE: Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has introduced a bill that would require the Transportation Department to revisit its current fuel economy standards if gas prices jump more than five times faster than inflation. The Gas Money Saved Act would also reverse Republicans' vote last year to zero out all penalties for non-compliance with fuel economy standards.'
The Supreme Court sided with corporate polluters over the health of the American people. This decision to protect Bayer and Monsanto puts corporate immunity above accountability. Americans deserve transparency about cancer-linked chemicals and the ability to hold corporations accountable.
Methadone is a life-saving medication, but we’ve kept it locked away from people who need it. I reintroduced my bipartisan Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act 2.0 to knock down barriers to treatment and help people stay healthy and safe.
The Trump administration says countries like Haiti and Syria are too dangerous for Americans to visit, yet today's SCOTUS decision puts TPS holders at risk of being sent back. @pressley.house.gov and I will do everything in our power to pass legislation to protect TPS holders.
