Rumeysa Ozturk must be released. I joined @warren.senate.gov and @pressley.house.gov to demand answers from DHS, the State Dept. and ICE. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Donald Trump wants to gut Social Security. Join me live in Boston.

This delay is because we are making our voices heard. We must keep pushing. Pressure works. Defend Social Security. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/27/n...
The Trump admin is detaining students and faculty without charges, withholding federal dollars from universities, blackmailing institutions into silence with witch hunts masquerading as investigations, and violating the Constitution. We cannot be silent. youtube.com/shorts/JyNTa...
Anti-Semitism is on the rise in the United States. It is wrong. It is condemnable. And we will not tolerate it. youtube.com/shorts/gMcIc...
Senate Republicans just voted to raise overdraft fees from banks on American families to $35 dollars.
RFK Jr. wants to cut 10,000 more jobs at HHS. People are waiting too long and paying too much for care. Meanwhile, this Administration is cutting grants for lifesaving medical research and fighting to cut Medicaid—all to pay for billionaire tax breaks. It’s outrageous.
RFK Jr’s Make America Sick Agenda:
www.reuters.com/world/us/rfk...
Ghost guns are dangerous, untraceable weapons. I advocated for these commonsense regulations for years. I'm glad the Supreme Court has upheld them.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Let's be clear: Public media is a public good. It keeps our communities informed about local news, helps educate our kids, and ensures the public receives life-saving emergency alerts. Cutting federal funding for these stations would deal a serious blow to communities across the country.
Trump sent masked law enforcement officers to arrest Rumeysa Ozturk—a Tufts University grad student with legal status—without a criminal charge. Disappearances like these are part of Trump’s all-out assault on our basic freedoms. This is authoritarianism, and we will not let this stand.
Pete Hegseth is a liar. These are war plans. End of story. Hegseth is unfit for the job and should resign or be fired immediately.
BLOCKED: A Massachusetts judge is ordering the Trump administration to restore grants that support groups, including some in Mass, tasked with combating housing discrimination.

Unless Dr. Makary and Dr. Bhattacharya aggressively denounce the undermining of basic science, censoring of research on race and gender, and callously cutting funding for lifesaving research, they will do nothing but aid and abet this administration’s Make America Sick Agenda.
Yet another unlawful overreach by Donald Trump. Unacceptable. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Democrats sounded the alarm that Trump’s proposed national security team was unqualified and incompetent, but Republicans traded our security for fealty and put them in office. It took only two months to confirm our fears. Hegseth and Waltz should resign.
One stop closer to transit justice in our Commonwealth. The opening of South Coast Rail represents a long-awaited celebration for Taunton, Fall River, New Bedford, and beyond. Together, we are expanding rail service, reducing congestion, and increasing economic opportunity.
This is malpractice. Donald Trump is a national security risk and his advisors would put our service members in danger with their recklessness and incompetence. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
A federal judge told the Trump administration to show her the waste, fraud, or abuse. It couldn’t. There’s no basis for @epa withholding funds that Congress appropriated to deliver clean energy and lower bills to communities that need them the most. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
