I'm proud to have moved several of my bills and priorities as part of this week’s Weather Act and NASA authorization bills, including provisions to fight extreme heat, support weather forecasting, and support astrophysics research. America can lead on safety and smarts.

The Senate's unanimous and bipartisan passage of COPPA 2.0 is a major milestone in the fight to protect children and teens online. I'm ready to work with my colleagues in the House to pass COPPA 2.0 into law. Let's get this done.
Massachusetts small businesses are leaders in emerging tech like clean energy and life sciences. The SBIR program is critical to our innovation economy.
We must continue to empower our most capable and competitive small businesses to keep innovating.
Trump is throwing your taxpayer dollars at an illegal war abroad, while you spend more for gasoline here at home.
We are spending a billion dollars a day on this illegal, reckless war. This is taxpayer money that should be going to healthcare and education. Now, Trump wants $50 billion more for a war that Congress has not authorized. Outrageous. No way.
Emmanuel Damas was a Haitian asylum seeker living in Massachusetts. His death in ICE custody is a terrible tragedy. I’ve been working with his family to uncover the truth. We must demand full accountability from ICE for his death.
BREAKING: COPPA 2.0 just passed the Senate by unanimous consent. This marks a tremendous victory in my decades long fight for children and teens’ online privacy. Now, the House must do the same.
My Statement on Voting to Oppose Trump's Illegal War in Iran.
Outraged by the State Dept's unreadiness for evacuating Americans from the Middle East.
This is a crisis of Trump's making. No plan for attacking Iran. And no plan for evacuating Americans.
This isn't a natural disaster—it's a man-made one. And the man responsible is Trump.
Two months into 2026, the U.S. has almost half as many measles cases as all of last year. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. and his Surgeon General pick refuse to endorse vaccines.
Tell the truth: measles vaccines are the best way to protect your family from this deadly disease.
Instead of protecting our food and farmworkers from harmful chemicals like glyphosate, Trump is shielding chemical companies from accountability and pushing more pesticides into our food. Americans deserve a Surgeon General who will stand up for their health, not chemical wealth.
I just left the classified briefing on Iran. And it only confirmed what we already knew:
Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it.
Donald Trump's illegal war with Iran has already cost $2 BILLION. Americans don't want another endless war.
We should be funding health care not warfare.
