As electricity prices soar, Eversource is raking in record profits, and its executives are raking in seven-figure salaries and bonuses—driven directly by those excess profits. Families should not struggle to pay their bills while the CEOs take home millions.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
I've already called on CEOs of the largest oil and gas companies to stop giving their CEOs bonuses for profiting off the backs of American families—that should apply to utilities as well.
As Trump dismantles lifesaving HIV prevention and treatment work around the world, we must continue fighting for the breakthroughs to help end the epidemic. This HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, we celebrate the dedicated researchers and community members who aren’t giving up on an HIV-free future.
The Trump administration is taking away protections against dangerous PFAS. We keep learning more about the dangers of these toxic chemicals—we shouldn’t be backsliding and letting more into our water. Families shouldn’t have to second-guess what’s coming out of their tap.
You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.
Investments in Head Start are an investment in our children, our communities, and our future. As Head Start turns 61, we celebrate one of our nation’s most visionary programs and commit to expanding Head Start so every child has the support and opportunity they need to thrive. #StandForHeadStart
During AAPI Heritage Month, and every day, we celebrate the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities who make Massachusetts stronger through advocacy, public service, small businesses, education, healthcare, the arts and so much more. Our diversity is our strength.
Thanks to Trump, America is losing the clean energy race. Last year, China invested $60 billion more in clean energy—and installed SEVEN times more wind, solar, and storage—than we did. Reviving American clean energy leadership will mean cheap, reliable energy for all.
Honored to celebrate the opening of La CASA today in Villa Victoria—the largest Latino cultural center in New England. La CASA will be a new home for art, activism, and opportunity. A place for communities to come together to protect collective memories and create new legacies.
Abortion must remain safe, legal, and accessible. That’s why I joined every Senate Democrat in calling on the Supreme Court to preserve the right to receive mifepristone by mail. This case isn’t over–we’ll continue to fight attacks on reproductive health and freedom.
Trump’s love affair with coal has cost Americans hundreds of millions of dollars—all to keep the oldest, dirtiest fossil plants hanging around. We must pass my bill to stop Trump’s abuse of the energy emergency authority that's forcing families to fund his pet pollution projects.
One month ago, my bipartisan bill reauthorizing our essential innovation programs became law. With these programs reopened, small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country are once again empowered to lead America forward as innovators and job creators.
Children can’t learn on an empty stomach. School meals should be stigma-free and easily accessible for every student. Proud to join @repilhan.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov as they introduce this important legislation.
