EPA is abandoning its defense of air pollution standards—and abandoning its mission to protect us. I’m embarrassed on behalf of Lee Zeldin that he’s willing to do this to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Trump EPA to abandon air pollution rule that would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths
The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.
Fishermen face demanding and dangerous working conditions on the water every day—conditions that take both a physical and mental toll. My FISH Wellness Act will provide much-needed funding to make sure they can access critical resources to stay safe and healthy on the job.
@homelandcbp.bsky.social is using license plate readers to monitor Americans. This is at best a profound invasion of privacy and at worst a deep violation of the Fourth Amendment. I'm demanding answers.
I joined @pressley.house.gov to honor families and survivors of homicide victims. For every life lost, there are ten more carrying the trauma. Gun violence is a public‑health crisis—and we must do more to support healing, justice, and survivors.
The EPA is sitting on critical funds for lead pipe replacement—leaving communities in Massachusetts at risk. I’m leading the Massachusetts delegation in demanding the immediate release of these funds. No child should drink dirty water.

Gaza’s medical system is collapsing. Hospitals destroyed. Children without care. I’m demanding the State Department act now to restore access to lifesaving treatment and release Palestinian medical workers being held without charge.   Health care is a human right. youtube.com/shorts/bW3R1...
Make no mistake—small nuclear tests are still nuclear tests. Even one U.S. “hydronuclear” test would give Russia and China the green light to conduct tests that pose a threat to our national security. Trump’s plan to resume nuclear testing is the starting gun for a new arms race.
The Forgotten Nuclear Weapon Tests That Trump May Seek to Revive
Hydronuclear experiments, barred globally since the 1990s, may lie behind President Trump’s call last month for the United States to resume its testing of nuclear bombs.
Two months after Trump signed his TikTok executive order, there are still major questions about this supposed TikTok deal. I’m demanding full answers and transparency.

Trump is once again playing the role of Putin’s puppet—pushing a backroom deal that would force Ukraine to surrender territory it holds, slash its military in half, give up long-range weapons, and bar foreign peacekeepers. That’s not peace. That’s Putin’s wishlist.
U.S.-Russian Peace Plan Would Force Ukraine to Cede Land and Cut Army
The 28-point proposal, which comes as the Trump administration tries to restart settlement talks, includes demands long rejected by Kyiv as  nonstarters.
