The Trump administration wants to collect five years of social media history from visitors from Visa Waiver countries. That’s invasive, creepy, and undermines trust with our closest allies. People should be able to visit loved ones and enjoy our country without being digitally stalked.
I'm grateful a judge has terminated removal proceedings against Rümeysa Öztürk. But let’s be clear: she never should have faced removal in the first place.
Rümeysa is an example to us all of what it means to speak truth to power. Her courage and grace are inspiring.
What this ad doesn’t show: Ring also rolled out facial recognition for humans. I wrote to them months ago about this. Their answer? They won’t ask for your consent.
This definitely isn’t about dogs—it’s about mass surveillance.

There is no clause in the Constitution or law on the books—none—that allows a President to commandeer state elections. No emergency power. No implied authority. No ‘because I say so.’ We will not let Trump take over our free and fair elections.
Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for standing up for democracy and speaking truth to power. This is a deliberate attempt by Beijing to crush dissent and silence independent voices in Hong Kong. Speaking out is not a crime—it is the foundation of democracy.
Happy birthday E-Rate! Thirty years ago today I created the E-Rate program to ensure we keep students connected to the digital world, no matter their zip code. Thank you to the educators, students, schools, and libraries who have joined the fight to close the digital divide.
“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last. You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know—their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”
Last week, I demanded answers from ICE again about inhumane conditions at Burlington, following up on my oversight visit. This is no place to hold people. Accountability now.
RFK Jr. is a liar. He lied to me about his anti-vax Samoa trip. The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel is now stacked with conspiracists and the US is positioned to lose its measles elimination status. RFK Jr. must be removed now.
If Trump resumes nuclear testing, it would be a gift to China. The US has conducted over 1,000 nuclear tests; China has done just 45. Beijing has much more to gain from new nuclear tests than Washington. For Trump, this would be the height of stupidity. thehill.com/policy/inter...

Massachusetts is not defenseless. Know your rights. Memorize them. Share them.
A message from my office, @markey.senate.gov, @massgovernor.bsky.social, @mayorwu.boston.gov, @pressley.house.gov, @whipkclark.bsky.social, @repmcgovern.bsky.social, and @trahan.house.gov.
Azerbaijan's plan to sentence Armenian hostages to life imprisonment is a deep injustice. Following the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh, President Aliyev continues to show a blatant disregard for human rights. He must uphold due process and release these hostages now.
