Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.
My heart is with the families affected by the tragic shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center, a sacred place of worship. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is skyrocketing and it is unacceptable. No community should live in fear of violence against them because of their faith.
As electricity prices soar, Eversource is raking in record profits, and its executives are raking in seven-figure salaries and bonuses—driven directly by those excess profits. Families should not struggle to pay their bills while the CEOs take home millions.
I've already called on CEOs of the largest oil and gas companies to stop giving their CEOs bonuses for profiting off the backs of American families—that should apply to utilities as well.
As Trump dismantles lifesaving HIV prevention and treatment work around the world, we must continue fighting for the breakthroughs to help end the epidemic. This HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, we celebrate the dedicated researchers and community members who aren’t giving up on an HIV-free future.

HIV Medicine Association
@HIVMA
This #HIVVaccineAwarenessDay, explore AVAC’s roadmap for advancing HIV vaccine research and development, highlighting gaps such as the need for a shared target product profile, stronger coordination, and sustained political support to accelerate progress.
The Trump administration is taking away protections against dangerous PFAS. We keep learning more about the dangers of these toxic chemicals—we shouldn’t be backsliding and letting more into our water. Families shouldn’t have to second-guess what’s coming out of their tap.
The Washington Post
EPA wants to repeal limits on ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water
If finalized, the proposal would end the Biden-era restrictions for four toxic PFAS compounds and give utilities two more years to comply with limits on two other compounds.

You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.
Graphic of headline that reads, "Trump dismisses $10bn suit against IRS and creates $1.7bn ‘anti-weaponization’ fund." Behind the headline is a photo of Trump and reporters.
Investments in Head Start are an investment in our children, our communities, and our future. As Head Start turns 61, we celebrate one of our nation’s most visionary programs and commit to expanding Head Start so every child has the support and opportunity they need to thrive. #StandForHeadStart
6 years of Head Start

During AAPI Heritage Month, and every day, we celebrate the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities who make Massachusetts stronger through advocacy, public service, small businesses, education, healthcare, the arts and so much more. Our diversity is our strength.
Thanks to Trump, America is losing the clean energy race. Last year, China invested $60 billion more in clean energy—and installed SEVEN times more wind, solar, and storage—than we did. Reviving American clean energy leadership will mean cheap, reliable energy for all.
Graphic of headline that reads "Inside Climate News: China Widens Its Clean Energy Lead, Chinese companies account for more than half of global investments in clean energy manufacturing since 2019, while new U.S. investments declined last year." Behind the headline is a photo of workers in a factory.
Honored to celebrate the opening of La CASA today in Villa Victoria—the largest Latino cultural center in New England. La CASA will be a new home for art, activism, and opportunity. A place for communities to come together to protect collective memories and create new legacies.
Senator Markey and community members cutting ribbon for La CASA
Abortion must remain safe, legal, and accessible. That’s why I joined every Senate Democrat in calling on the Supreme Court to preserve the right to receive mifepristone by mail. This case isn’t over–we’ll continue to fight attacks on reproductive health and freedom.
