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. trib.al/hy8UAM9
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.
Screenshot of headline reading: ‘It’s been a challenging year.’ Trump’s tariffs have taken a toll on small businesses.
Trump’s attacks on Vineyard Wind are attacks on union jobs and American wallets. This will make our nation weaker, our energy costs higher, and our families less certain about how they’re going to make ends meet.
The Trump admin is trying to shut down Vineyard Wind 1—threatening 3,700 clean energy jobs, $3.7B in savings, and power for 400,000 homes. @warren.senate.gov and I are demanding access to the “classified” reports used to justify this reckless pause. We won’t let them hide the truth.

The Burmese junta’s planned elections are a ploy to legitimize its illegal power grab amid ongoing violence. I’m alarmed by airstrikes on civilians and mass detentions of political leaders. I’ll keep calling for civilian protection and a real return to democracy.
I’m demanding to see the classified reports that the Trump administration is waving around in an attempt to justify its weird, lawless crusade against American offshore wind.
And as Congress continues to talk permitting reform and appropriations, we can’t sell out workers and households facing higher bills by being cheap dates. The Trump administration should stop screwing over Americans before we sit down at the table.
Trump and his lackeys are risking our grid, putting Americans out of work, and raising energy bills as a result of a bizarre anti-energy vendetta. It’s lawless and reckless. To any company that doesn’t join the fight against this: you should realize you could be next.
Betty Reid Soskin wasn’t just the oldest National Park Ranger in American history—she was a force, a storyteller, and a civil rights icon. Her life’s work preserved history and uplifted truth. We remember her legacy, and we carry it forward.
We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.
Betty’s family announced her passing and has requested privacy during this time. In lieu of flowers, they’ve asked that those wishing to honor her legacy consider donations to Betty Reid Soskin Middle School and to a forthcoming film documenting her remarkable life.
