Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing this holy month across the Commonwealth and around the world. May this month bring you peace and renewal and be a time for reflection, connection, and joy with your loved ones.
Trump claims he wants a deal with Iran, not war. That’s B.S. We had a great deal with Iran on its nuclear program in 2015, but Trump tore it up and then bombed Iran last summer. Trump is a dangerous warmonger that must be stopped.

Reverend Jesse Jackson believed in an America where “the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected, and the despised” could have a fair shot at a better life and a brighter future. Now, we must work to keep his hope alive and secure true justice for all.
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating in Massachusetts and across the country! As we gather to welcome a new year of hope, health, and prosperity, we honor the rich traditions and contributions of Asian American communities that strengthen our Commonwealth and our nation.
Eight years after Marjory Stoneman Douglas, we remember the 17 lives stolen and the families forever changed. Their courage sparked a movement led by young people who refused to accept gun violence as inevitable. We honor them by continuing the fight for safer communities.
DOJ is spying on lawmakers who are reading through the Epstein files. If they can do that to members of Congress, imagine what they are doing to you. This is Trump’s surveillance state.

La administración de Trump está atacando sistemáticamente a niños no acompañados para expulsarlos, deteniéndolos durante largos periodos en condiciones inhumanas y desmantelando protecciones. Esto es inadmisible. Los niños deben estar con sus familias–no tras las rejas. Pongamos fin a este terror.
The Trump administration is systematically targeting unaccompanied children for removal, detaining kids for long periods in inhumane conditions, and dismantling child-friendly protections. This is vile and unconscionable. Kids belong with their families—not living behind bars. End this terror.
