Massachusetts families will start getting health insurance premium hike notices as soon as this week. Trump’s health care crisis isn’t just causing a shutdown in Washington - it’s raising costs for real people. I’ll keep fighting to protect affordable care for every family.
Today, I met with Adnaan and Tor Stumo, my constituents, who risked their lives to deliver aid to the people of Gaza. The US should have done more to keep them safe. But now, we have another chance to heed their calls: surge aid into Gaza and provide desperately needed relief.
Senator Markey stands with Adnaan and Tor Stumo in his office.
I’m outside the Supreme Court, where SCOTUS is once again threatening the Voting Rights Act—one of our most vital civil rights protections. We can’t let extremists turn back the clock. Congress must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and protect every vote.
Boston mourns the loss of the Honorable Judge Leslie E. Harris—a trailblazer, mentor, and champion for justice. His wisdom and compassion shaped generations. We hold his family in our hearts as we honor a life devoted to fairness, dignity, and community. May he rest in peace.
Disgusting. And completely unacceptable. First, a Christian nationalist, white supremacist flag flown at SBA headquarters. Now, an SBA employee found participating in an 'I love Hitler' chat. We need accountability now.
Lawrence: Trump admin. staffer reportedly in an 'I love Hitler' chat hasn't been fired by Trump yet
The safety of patients and health care workers cannot be sacrificed at the altar of Big Tech. Last week, I introduced the Right to Override Act to require human oversight of health care decisions.
Trump green lights covert CIA “lethal” action in Venezuela, setting up yet another CIA failure in the region: the Bay of Pigs, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua. Why should Latin America trust the United States? We should know better.
Trump Administration Authorizes Covert C.I.A. Action in Venezuela
The development comes as the U.S. military is drawing up options for President Trump to consider, including possible strikes inside the country.
Trump claims other countries are paying the tariffs. But the numbers say otherwise. Small businesses and everyday Americans should not bear the cost of Trump's chaotic tariff tantrum. This administration must end its war with Main Street. We must pass the Small Business RELIEF Act now.
Good. Everyone—from media outlets to everyday Americans—must stand up for free speech and speak out against the Trump administration’s attacks on the First Amendment.
Media outlets, including Fox News and CNN,
refuse to sign Pentagon's press access rules
It might be Hollywood, but the message is clear: with thousands of nuclear weapons, we have built a “house of dynamite” that can explode at any minute. We must reduce nuclear threats and prevent a new arms race. As the President in the movie so aptly puts it, “this is insanity.”
It’s day 14 of the Trump/Republican shutdown. Democrats are in Washington ready to work. But Republicans are hiding in a witness protection program—they refuse to answer why they’re gutting health care for millions. I’m fighting for Massachusetts families and your health care.
