Trump’s @sba-gov.bsky.social is slashing funding by 67% and eliminating essential entrepreneurial development programs that help nearly 1 million small businesses. I’m calling on Administrator Loeffler to explain why the Trump administration is choosing to turn Main Street into Pain Street
A man burned Juneteenth materials outside Boston's Museum of African American History, home to the nation's oldest surviving Black church. While we’re still looking for answers, we will not be intimidated by those who seek to erase Black history or sow division. Hate has no home in Massachusetts.
Trump started his illegal, reckless, and expensive war against Iran 100 days ago, and what did we get? A 50% increase in fuel prices and a $150-billion bill for taxpayers. This war is 100% a disaster. Trump must end this now.
No student should be denied the support they need to succeed. I reintroduced the bipartisan Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act to expand access to educational services for students who are blind, deaf, deafdisabled, hard of hearing, or deafblind.
Today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court case that paved the way for legal contraception nationwide. Now, 61 years later, that right is under attack. That’s why I’m fighting to pass my Right to Contraception Act to protect the freedom to make decisions about your own health.
On Gun Violence Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost, honor survivors and communities forever changed, and recommit to ending this epidemic. Every community deserves to be safe from gun violence.
Because it’s made by a Massachusetts small business! North Andover’s Schylling Inc. was hit hard by Trump’s illegal tariff tax, but we fought back—and won—to ensure toy manufacturers and other small businesses like Schylling can continue to make fun products everyone can enjoy.
How a North Andover company struck toy gold with NeeDoh
While corporations are making record profits, workers who suffer discrimination are denied full justice due to outdated caps on legal compensation. The Equal Remedies Act ends these arbitrary limits and ensures all workers, including seniors, receive their full jury awards.
Following weeks of advocacy from my office, the federal delegation, the American Postal Workers Union, and most importantly the community, it is great news that the USPS has reversed course on its decision to close the Shutesbury Post Office. Service will continue uninterrupted.
Republicans just voted to give a $70 billion blank check to Trump’s ICE thugs and placed no checks on the $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. They’ll give relief to criminals but none to families.
While your electricity bills are going up and taking cash out of your budget, Trump is stealing out of our national wallet—using taxpayer dollars to pay for polluting, expensive, and unnecessary coal plants. We need to save Americans’ money, not give it to Trump’s fossil donors.
Graphic of headline that reads “Trump plans $700 million in new coal support, White House official says.” Full text of article linked in reply.
The cost of groceries rose faster last month than at any other time in the past four years—all while personal savings plummeted. More loans won’t fix Trump’s affordability crisis or deliver real relief to American families. Ending Trump’s reckless economic policies will.
