Trump's reckless attack on Venezuela has left Massachusetts families trapped after their holiday travels. I am keeping a close eye on the Department of Transportation and the airlines to ensure they are working to safely get families home without delay or financial hardship.

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine crusade makes "America First" in reversing decades of progress to keep kids healthy. Today's announcement means more children and families will suffer under Trump and RFK's Make America Sick Agenda.

Who wins from Trump’s illegal war for oil on Venezuela? Big Oil Billionaires. Who loses? The rest of us. The Venezuelan people deserve better, and the American people deserve transparency. I’m demanding answers.

I’ve been sounding the alarm on ICE’s dangerous facial recognition technology—and now we’re seeing the consequences. The Trump administration is weaponizing this technology to target Black and Brown communities and expand its authoritarian surveillance network. This must end now.

Union employees at SBA were reinstated with back pay after facing back-and-forth firings, chaos, and cruelty last year. I’m proud to have worked with AFGE and my Senate colleagues to bring stability to our civil servants and SBA. This illegal mistreatment must never happen again.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's baseless targeting of Senator Mark Kelly, a patriot who proudly serves our country, is disgraceful, craven, and wrong.
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the

Did Donald Trump notify Congress before taking military action in Venezuela? No. Did Donald Trump notify his Big Oil Buddies? Yes. It was always about oil.
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

Trump can't manage the American economy and now he says he’ll run Venezuela and its oil infrastructure? We’ve seen what happens when we destabilize countries on behalf of American fossil fuel CEOs—they profit, service members die, and regions collapse. We cannot let this stand.

The Trump administration is lying to Congress and ignoring our constitutionally required approval for military action. This is what dictators do. This war is not just unjustified—it is unauthorized. Trump’s attack on Venezuela puts American lives in danger, destabilizes the

The Trump administration is advancing their cruel, extremist agenda by making abortion care even harder for veterans to access—with no exceptions even for serious health concerns, rape, or incest. This administration continues to fail those who served our country.

Trump and Republicans’ resolution for 2026: Jack up health insurance premiums for 22 million, including 337,000 in Massachusetts—all to pay for tax breaks for their CEO billionaire buddies. Our resolution? Don’t agonize—organize and take back our government in 2026.

A champion for the planet and public health, a brilliant writer, and a fearless advocate to the end. Most of all, Tatiana was a loving mother, wife, daughter and sister. A remarkable woman who lives on in the hearts of her beautiful family. Sending my love and prayers.
Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and the granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, has died at 35.

Make no mistake, this is an act of war. Only Congress can authorize war. Trump has put us on the road to an illegal war with Venezuela. We must stop this madness.

Trump’s reckless tariffs turned Main Streets into Pain Streets across Massachusetts in 2025. The Supreme Court must stand with small businesses, rein in Trump’s power grab, and deliver real relief to the entrepreneurs and employees who drive our local and regional economies.
