Republicans are willing to slash $420 billion in clean energy investments and 400,000 jobs in red and blue states. Solar, wind, and batteries are critical to meeting our energy demands, and eliminating these incentives will only further fuel pollution and costs for families.

We are fortunate to have @agomezfcc.bsky.social pushing back against the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and dangerous attacks on free speech. I’m proud to be with her in this fight. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
This is not normal. This is blatant corruption. Trump First, America Last. www.cnn.com/2025/05/11/p...
Republicans are once again showing us who they are truly serving—cutting funding for cleaner, healthier communities while rubber-stamping fossil fuels. This is not America First, it is Polluters First. We should be investing in technologies of the future, not the past.
Trump appointed a corporate executive to be Privatizer General of the US Postal Service. USPS exists to provide universal, reliable, and affordable services to the public—not fill the pockets of private interests. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
It is great news that Edan Alexander finally is free and on his way home to loved ones. Yet, too many families continue to suffer as more hostages remain at risk. Hamas must release all of the hostages now. There must be a full ceasefire and an end to this war.
This decision is an absolute betrayal for those who risked their lives to support the United States during two decades of war. I call on the Trump administration to immediately reinstate TPS protections for Afghans. We cannot abandon our allies.
Every dollar cut from Medicaid is a dollar ripped from health care and given to billionaires. Giving a handout to the rich while making it harder for millions of people to get health care is disastrous.
The US has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year. It’s only the second time the US has hit this dangerous milestone in the past 30 years and it’s only May. This is the Make America Sick Again agenda.
Trump wants to slash $1.2 billion from NPS. At the same time, Republicans are getting ready to rubber stamp projects that ravage our public lands for oil, gas, minerals, and timber. All to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. We can't let this happen.
After firing thousands of workers, the VA is risking patient privacy by forcing providers to hold telehealth appointments in crowded rooms, where sensitive conversations can be overheard. This attack on veterans' mental health care is unacceptable.

I agree. Travelers should not have to check their privacy alongside their luggage at the airport. That is why I joined my colleagues @senjeffmerkley.bsky.social and @senjohnkeenan.bsky.social in introducing the Traveler Privacy Protection Act this week.
An update on Rümeysa Öztürk.
www.youtube.com/shorts/wpx4P...
Rümeysa Öztürk has finally been ordered released. She has been unlawfully detained for more than six weeks in an ICE facility in Louisiana, more than 1,500 miles away from Somerville. This is a victory for Rümeysa, for justice, and for our democracy.
Trump’s firing of only the Democratic CPSC commissioners is not just unconstitutional. It endangers American families. The CPSC safeguards our children from unsafe toys and dangerous cribs. Undermining this agency puts lives at risk.
Today, as the Ranking Member of @senatesmallbizdems.bsky.social I'm releasing a new report. Pulling the Plug: How Trump's Attacks on Clean Energy Could Turn Out the Lights on Small Business. Read now at markey.senate.gov/PullingThePlugReport.
Join us live as I lead a Small Business Committee Field Hearing on Small Businesses and the Clean Energy Economy www.sbc.senate.gov/public/index...
This week, Energy Secretary Chris Wright tried to defend DOE’s proposed budget cuts in a pathetic testimony straight from the Big Oil playbook. In it, he made one thing painfully clear: he is not for an “All of the Above” energy strategy, but rather for “Oil above All.”
Hurricane season starts in three weeks. Trump just fired the head of FEMA. Climate disasters are on the rise, and Trump is kneecapping our ability to respond.
Donald Trump just fired my dear friend Dr. Carla Hayden—the Librarian of Congress—via email. This is disgraceful. The Library of Congress represents some of the best America has to offer. Equal access to learning for all.
