Proud to join @klobuchar.senate.gov in reintroducing our resolution to designate April as #FairChanceJobsMonth. Everyone deserves a fair shot at rebuilding their lives after incarceration. Let’s break down barriers and open doors to opportunity. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
You don't need to read the Trump budget to know what's in it: more cuts, chaos, and corruption. We must come together to prevent this fiscal violence from becoming a reality.
Trump just fired the researchers behind the National Climate Assessment—the blueprint for federal agencies to tackle the climate crisis. This essential report helps communities prepare for billion dollar climate disasters and save lives. Trump’s move is costly and deadly.
New York Times headline: 'All Authors Working on Flagship U.S. Climate Report Are Dismissed

The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.'
Republicans voted FOR cancer. They’re giving greedy corporate polluters a loophole to evade the Clean Air Act and emit tens of thousands of tons of toxic air pollutants like arsenic, lead, and mercury that can make you sick. It’s the Make America Sick Agenda. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Three weeks ago, I led the Massachusetts delegation in calling on HHS to release the remaining LIHEAP funds. Yesterday, they did. $400M is on its way to help families afford their energy bills—including in Massachusetts. Organizing works. Your voice matters. We’ll keep fighting.
I spoke on the Senate floor yesterday to urge my colleagues to vote NO on repealing commonsense appliance energy standards. Instead, Republicans voted YES to roll back ANOTHER standard that would’ve saved families money and reduced emissions—all for Trump’s culture war on appliances.
Since President Trump took office, he has unleashed pure chaos. Yesterday’s Climate Power report reiterates what we already know – Trump’s actions are harmful to workers and American businesses across the country. climatepower.us/clean-energy...
The Chamber of Commerce has joined my call. Trump’s reckless tariffs should be rolled back but the least we can do is give small businesses the same exemptions that Trump is handing out to the biggest corporations.
We must never forget those currently held hostage or wrongfully detained across the globe - including my constituent Robert Gilman. It is time for the Administration to formally designate Robert as wrongfully detained and do everything in its power to obtain his release from Russian custody.
