The American people want a transportation system that is cheaper, safer, and greener. That means we need more passenger trains, free transit, and fewer traffic deaths. I will not stop fighting for the bold ideas that can make this dream a reality.

My heart goes out to the people of Cabo Verde as they confront the devastation and loss left in the wake of Tropical Storm Erin. We must come together to support recovery efforts and recommit to building resilience in the face of our changing climate.

I heard from small businesses like LMI Textiles in Milton, Massachusetts during my listening session with @ronwyden and @SmallBizFuture. The small business owners put it best: Trump’s unpredictable tariff policies have created an impossible situation for small businesses.

Trump didn’t call the national guard when insurrectionists violently attacked the US Capitol but now he’s calling them to take over the nation’s capitol.

80 years ago this week, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, unleashing atomic devastation that reshaped the world. As the only nation to use nuclear weapons in war, we must confront that legacy and lead the effort for peace and to end the threat of nuclear.

According to Trump, the biggest threat to veterans ISN’T PTSD, suicide, or long wait times…it’s organized nurses, social workers, and counselors. These people take care of our veterans. Trump just stripped away their rights.

Businesses small and large are being forced to raise prices to survive. Obliteration Day and reckless tariffs aren’t just a burden on businesses. It’s an all-out assault on the American people.

There are growing signs that President Trump’s levies are filtering through to consumer prices, as companies exhaust options for keeping them stable.

BRIC is more than just a line item in FEMA's budget—it's a lifeline for Massachusetts communities, like Chelsea and Everett, as they prepare for climate disasters. I've seen the need for this program first-hand. We can't afford to lose it. Thank you @MassAGO for fighting back.
NEW: We just won an order from a judge protecting funding for the FEMA BRIC program while we continue fighting our case in court. Today, I was in Manchester-by-the-Sea at the Central Street Bridge Project, which wouldn't be possible without this critical funding.

It's simple. If you colluded with foreign oil cartels, you shouldn't be allowed to serve on the board of a US oil company.
