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.
Trump’s SBA is ratcheting up its discriminatory attacks on immigrants. The result? Local economies and small businesses are suffering. The Small Business Administration must rescind its draconian citizenship rule and give entrepreneurs a fair shot at the American dream.

I am calling on ICE to immediately release Seamus Culleton. It is appalling that Seamus has remained in detention for 5 months in dire conditions, away from his family. As a spouse of a U.S. citizen with strong Massachusetts ties, there is no justification for keeping him detained. Release him now.
Our nation’s largest public utility with its MAGA Republican appointed board is prioritizing dirty coal on behalf of our dirty President—driving up energy costs and polluting air and water for the 10 million Americans who live in the Tennessee Valley. The TVA must change course.
Get ICE out. Lawless thugs are terrorizing entire communities, have murdered and injured innocent people with impunity, and are surveilling and targeting protestors. Not another dime for ICE. Defund. Abolish.

Homan announces end to Minnesota immigration enforcement surge
A “significant drawdown” in federal immigration agents is already underway, border czar Tom Homan told reporters, and will continue into the next week.
This is good news. Now Trump needs to say the same thing. We do not want a new, dangerous, and expensive nuclear arms race with Russia or China. The last one cost $10 trillion and almost destroyed the planet. Been there, done that.
Russia says it will stick to New START's nuclear arms limits as long as the U.S. does

Canada and Massachusetts do $16 billion in trade every year. Trump's tariffs have only made housing and energy more expensive in the Commonwealth. Time for them to end.
Screenshot of post that reads “US House votes to overturn Trump's tariffs on Canada after six Rs sided with nearly all Dems to rebuke one pillar of the president's trade agenda. The Democratic measure passed 219 to 211. However, the resolution's passage is largely symbolic, since it could be vetoed by the president if it clears the Senate, and it did not pass the House with a veto-proof majority.”
Ring’s Super Bowl ad exposed a scary truth: the technology in its doorbell cameras could be used to hunt down a lost pet...or a person. Americans oppose this creepy surveillance state. Amazon must discontinue its dystopian monitoring features.
Screenshot of headline reading: Sen. Markey calls on Amazon to “discontinue” Ring monitoring features.

Ring’s Super Bowl ad focused on how its cameras could be networked to find a missing dog, but for a lot of people, it highlighted the surveillance power hiding in those devices. Now Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has sent a letter to Amazon saying, “Get this creepy technology away from our homes.”
Our military’s strength comes from the courage, talent, and diversity of the Americans who serve. Dismissing that isn’t leadership—it’s disrespectful to every service member who defends our country.

🚨WTF: Pete Hegseth now at a military tour stop at Beth Maine:

"We're done with all that garbage; we're done with "our diversity is our strength," which is the single dumbest phrase in military history."

Our military deserves so much better than a guy whose "strength" came from Fox rants.
From Massachusetts to Vermont, Team USA’s New England athletes are showing the grit, talent, and joy that define who we are as athletes, competitors, and neighbors. I’m rooting for you every step of the way. Go Team USA!
