The question now:
How many Senate Republicans will vote to cut Medicaid, SNAP, and Pell?
How many millions of people will they take health care, food, and education from—all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy?
Rümeysa Öztürk’s habeas corpus court hearing has been postponed. In the meantime, I will keep demanding answers from ICE about the treatment of women at the detention facility in Louisiana I visited.
The heinous murder of two young Israeli embassy staff outside an American Jewish Committee event in DC is deplorable. We mourn these victims and pray for their families and loved ones. We must denounce and root out antisemitic violence like this at every turn. Hate has no refuge in our society.
Donald Trump is taking away essential protections from Venezuelans and many other TPS recipients who cannot return home safely. Abhorrent. We must be clear—ending TPS could mean issuing a death sentence.
Tomorrow is Rümeysa Öztürk’s habeas corpus hearing in federal court in Vermont. At the same time, nearly 1,000 other women she was detained with in Louisiana remain in intolerable conditions. ICE has yet to answer my inquiries. I'll keep pushing.
Trump’s Golden Dome will not make us safer—it will motivate Russia and China to build yet more nuclear weapons to aim at us, setting off a terrifying three-way arms race. But it will put billions into Musk’s pockets. Reagan’s failed “Star Wars” fantasy is back.
My statement as Senate Republicans consider a procedural power grab to overturn California EPA Clean Air Act waivers.
Gerry Connolly dedicated his entire career to serving Virginia and the American people. His commitment to building a more peaceful, fairer, and healthier world was matched only by his kindness and camaraderie. My prayers are with his family as we mourn his loss.
We must support industries of the future - including offshore wind - that create jobs and drive investment in local economies. I am glad construction of Empire Wind will resume, which will deliver clean energy to half a million homes when completed.

Trump’s tariffs are directly hitting Main Street by jacking up prices and threatening small businesses like Henry Bear’s Park in Cambridge.
These stores survived pandemics and recessions—they shouldn’t have to survive Donald Trump.
Let’s pass the Small Business Liberation Act.
Trump wants to slash billions from federal housing programs at a time when we can least afford it. Housing is a human right. We should be expanding assistance - not gutting it to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.
Habeas corpus means the United States can't imprison people in our country and deny them a chance to challenge their detention in court. Apparently, Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security is unaware of this constitutional right. x.com/atrupar/stat...
Another day, another sign that the Trump FCC's baseless attacks on the news media are undermining journalists. We must reject all efforts to intimidate the free press.
Dan Gilbarg dedicated his life to justice. His unwavering commitment to building a better world through the Coalition for Social Justice was an inspiration to me and countless others. Thank you, Dan, for your legacy of social justice. We carry you in our work every day.
Small business owners are saying it loud and clear: Trump’s reckless tariffs are squeezing our neighborhood shops. My Small Business Liberation Act is how we fight back—provide relief, end the chaos, and put Main Street first. Let’s get it done.
Trump paid $6 million to El Salvador to imprison migrants from the U.S. in inhumane and cruel conditions. I led my colleagues to demand answers from Secretary Rubio about the legality of this payment. The U.S. must protect human rights, not fund torture.

A couple of weeks ago, I read an op-ed in the New York Times about a possible Trump third term. Here’s my response.
Big Oil spent 100s of millions to elect Trump. In exchange, they're demanding that Republicans destroy the clean energy industry. That's what they're trying to do now in Trump's “big beautiful bill.”
Let’s be clear: they’ve never been All of the Above – just Oil above All.
