Rolling back the air toxics rule ignores science, law, and morality. Trump and Zeldin's Make America Sick Agenda sacrifices Americans near and far while lining the pockets of fossil fuel execs. Americans deserve clean energy and a healthy, livable future—not dirty power plants.

BREAKING NEWS ALERT
EPA to propose rolling back climate rule for power plants Wednesday

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a big, cruel attack on education, climate, health care, and food justice. Join us today for a series of virtual teach-ins to break it all down and fight back. RSVP: markey.senate.gov/TeachIn

We should protect the Dreamers and young people who know no other home than America. When DACA is under attack, so are the dreams, hopes, and futures of DACA recipients and their families. Congress must act—DACA must remain in place.

Spending $134 million, diverting servicemembers, and ignoring real security threats for an authoritarian stunt.

ABC News Headline: Pentagon says deployment of troops in LA will cost $134 million and last 60 days
The Pentagon’s top budget official is estimating the deployment of U.S. troops to Los Angeles will cost $134 million.

Republicans are still pursuing their unacceptable plan to block states from regulating AI. I’m ready to fight with every tool I have. I will be filing an amendment to strip this provision from their "Big Beautiful Bill". Republicans better be prepared to vote on it.

Donald Trump is sending in the Marines. This is authoritarianism.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJun 9(source)

The Health Secretary pushing to cut 16 million people off their health care is firing the people who make sure vaccines are safe. RFK Jr. should be safeguarding people’s health but he’s too busy serving his and Donald Trump’s Make America Sick Agenda.

SCOTUS just gave DOGE the green light to access your sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, medical records, and financial data. It’s shameful. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Supreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data

The dispute concerns efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency, largely led by Elon Musk, to access sensitive data, including Social Security numbers.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJun 6(source)

In yesterday’s HELP Committee hearing, I asked a simple question: Will you object to anything that doesn’t afford Americans due process? The answer should always be clear: uphold the Constitution. We can’t let authoritarianism replace rule of law.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJun 6(source)

Eid Mubarak! Wishing our Muslim neighbors across Massachusetts and beyond a blessed Eid al-Adha. May this day be a source of peace, renewal, and strength for you, your families, and the communities you hold together.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJun 6(source)

Is that a drafting error? Are Republicans hiding the ball after public pushback? Who knows. Here's what I do know: A ban on state AI regulation is irresponsible. I will fight it with everything I have.

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.govJun 6(source)

The AI language supposedly gives states a choice: broadband money or AI rules. But under the current text, this choice is a false one. The AI moratorium language is binding on its own.
