We can’t hand Saudi Arabia the keys to nuclear tech while ignoring its desire for nuclear weapons. I’m urging the Trump administration to insist on the “gold standard” safeguards—enrichment bans and full inspections—before any deal.
Honored to receive the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association’s Broadcast Champion award last week. Across Massachusetts, local broadcasters keep our communities informed, connected, and inspired. I’m proud to fight for them with MA Broadcasters.

Ken Burns always tells America’s story with depth, honesty, and heart. I was proud to honor him with the Third Lantern Award at Boston’s Old North Church—and I can’t wait to watch his latest documentary on the American Revolution. @kenlburns.bsky.social reminds us who we are and who we aspire to be.

It is unacceptable that tens of thousands of Massachusetts families could be left in the cold this winter because of Trump’s shutdown. It is absolutely critical that the Trump administration releases home heating funds as quickly as possible.

Trump says he will sell our most advanced fighter jets to the Saudis, who US intelligence says killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Looks like Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar business deals with the Trump family are paying off. This is outrageous.

Your sticker shock on your monthly gas bill is not just driven by the cost of natural gas. Pipeline infrastructure spending is a major factor that jacks up both our rates and utilities' profits--that's why my Pipeline Accountability Act would support smarter system investments.
Why Mass. gas bills are rising — and what we need to do about it
Most of what customers now pay each month no longer goes toward fuel, but toward rebuilding and maintaining a gas network that is larger than necessary to meet future needs.

Trump must work with Russia to stick with New START. This nuclear treaty—the only legal limit on Russian nuclear forces—expires in less than 100 days. No one wants a new nuclear arms race.
Airport workers keep our country moving.—yet Trump’s agenda grinds away their rights and wages. Yesterday I stood with 32BJSEIU to say: Every worker—at Logan and airports across the county—deserves dignity, good wages, and consistent, reliable benefits.
