Authoritarianism is here. This is not business as usual. Trump is weaponizing the law to punish dissent and instill fear. Thankful to have @massago.bsky.social testify in Washington about how Massachusetts is leading the charge against the Administration in the courts.
Three years after Dobbs, Massachusetts leads in defense of reproductive care and abortion access—but the fight continues. Anti-choice extremists want a national ban. We need federal protections for every person in every state.
All along the East Coast, residents are being asked to conserve energy during the extreme heat. Today is only going to be hotter. The climate crisis is here and we need a grid that can handle it. That means better transmission planning and an independent FERC.

Markey wants answers from Verizon over lead in old phone lines

Proud to join @wyden.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social to demand answers about reports that Palantir is helping to build a “mega-database” on American citizens. It’s Orwellian and it’s unacceptable.
The Trump administration’s expansion of invasive social media surveillance is a clear effort to chill speech and stifle dissent. I wrote to the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security with @wyden.senate.gov to stop this government overreach.
Democrats push administration on use of AI in social media screening

by Adam Taylor

A group of senators wrote Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi L. Noem on Friday to seek answers on whether the Trump administration planned to use artificial intelligence to help screen the social media accounts of visa applicants, as well as to demand audits of the effectiveness of social media screening programs.
Republicans tried to eliminate the CFPB. Senator Warren and Senate Democrats stopped that from happening. It’s simple: Democrats are fighting to hold big companies accountable and return money to consumers. Republicans are fighting to give tax breaks to billionaires.
SCOTUS just sided with polluters—again. 115 million people live in areas with dangerously high smog levels, yet this ruling weakens EPA’s ability to stop smog from crossing state lines.This will make Americans sicker. I will keep fighting for public health over corporate wealth.
Supreme Court raises bar for future curbs on industrial air pollution
The ruling could complicate EPA’s “good neighbor” rules that aim to clamp down on pollution that crosses state borders.
Extreme heat is the deadliest extreme weather. Yet Trump’s USDA is cutting funding for tree planting programs that make our cities greener, cleaner, and cooler. Planting trees to help Americans combat the climate crisis and stay cool should be a no-brainer.
Grants for forestry, conservation cut over links to DEI ‘propaganda’
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said she terminated more than 145 awards the department had made in various programs.
Donald Trump says his "Golden Dome" will keep us safe from a nuclear attack. All it will really do is make us poorer, less secure, and more isolated. It’s a gold-plated boondoggle that will enrich defense contractors and ignite a new nuclear arms race. time.com/7295780/sena...
