The First Amendment is the beating heart of our democracy. Free speech protects the people—not Trump’s interests. We can’t let the FCC become the Federal Censorship Commission.
Authoritarians fear what speaks truth to power. Free speech is not the threat—censorship is. Yet FCC Chairman Carr and Republicans have abandoned that principle to do Trump’s bidding. Free speech should never be on the chopping block.
I am horrified by the violent arrest of Herman Elias Escobar by ICE and the reported injuries he suffered. Herman is a husband, beloved by his family, friends, and community. I join the Malden community in calling for his release from ICE custody.
The FCC’s job is to serve the public interest—not Trump’s. When officials threaten comedians & journalists, we start to look like the governments we condemn. Free speech, not Trump’s speech, must prevail.
The climate crisis is here and extreme weather is only getting more intense and more deadly. We need to make sure the Army Corps has staff and support it needs to keep us safe.
Lawmakers question resiliency of US Army Corps of Engineers after cuts

Measles. Mumps. Rubella. This vaccine is safe, it’s effective, and it protects us all. RFK Jr. is leading our country into a dangerous, uncertain future. He must resign.
CDC advisory panel recommends restricting access to the MMRV vaccine
The panel said the vaccine, which includes protection against chickenpox, shouldn’t be given to children under age 4 because of a small risk for febrile seizures in younger kids.
Sometimes when something looks like corruption and sounds like corruption, it’s just plain corruption. The American people deserve answers about how this deal will benefit them and not just enrich Donald Trump.

 (https://x.com/willsommer)One NSC official stood between what appears to be a wildly corrupt deal involving the UAE, AI chips, and China. Then Laura Loomer intervened and got him fired. (She says it had nothing to do with the chip deal).  https://

Transportation emissions, costs, and road deaths are sky high. Representative Huffman and I are reintroducing legislation that will deliver a greener, safer, more affordable transportation system by prioritizing transit and walking/biking infrastructure.
I am a fan of recycling—but not for nuclear waste. Reusing nuclear reactor fuel may sound good but would actually spread nuclear weapons worldwide. This is a nuclear pandora’s box that is best left closed.
Oklo Announces Fuel Recycling Facility as First Phase of up to $1.68 Billion Advanced Fuel Center in Tennessee
Brendan Carr’s weaponization of government power against Disney and ABC is censorship—plain and simple. No American, no matter their politics, should fear government retaliation for speaking their mind. We must stand for the Constitution, not intimidation.
Trump’s reckless tariffs have forced small businesses to pay more than $30.1 billion since March. That’s money stolen from workers, families, and communities. I’m fighting to pass the Small Business RELIEF Act to refund these unfair costs and protect Main Street—not Wall Street.
