My Statement on D.C. Circuit’s Ruling to Protect Landmark Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund from Unlawful Trump Attacks

It's immoral to strip people of their health coverage just because they can’t afford bail. Congress must pass the Equity in Pretrial Health Coverage Act to make it easier for people who’ve been detained to get the healthcare they need. Healthcare is a human right.

Last night, the Senate unanimously passed a bill reining in illegal robocalls. I'm proud that the bill included four of my amendments to strengthen efforts to trace illegal calls to their source, crack down on sham phone companies & expose the networks that enable these scams.

Massachusetts learned the hard way what happens when private equity puts profits over people. That's why I reintroduced the Health Over Wealth Act with @jayapal.house.gov. It's time we get corporate greed out of our healthcare system.

Climate action can’t wait, and neither can our students. That's why I'm proud to lead the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act with @jayapal.house.gov to build healthier, safer, and more resilient school buildings and invest in our educators—all to protect kids and help them learn.

I'm proud to lead the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act with Rep. Jayapal.

From Worcester to the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts knows what’s possible with fare-free transit. My new report with @pressley.house.gov shows that going fare free saves money, grows ridership & simplifies transit. We must pass the Freedom to Move Act so communities can go fare free.

While Turkish President Erdogan continues to lock up journalists, political participants, and minorities, Trump rewards him by lifting sanctions. I'm reintroducing the Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act to make clear that the U.S. supports peace and stands against dictatorships.

I am deeply concerned that Trump may plan to steal the upcoming election. We know that no unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional act is beyond him. We must sound the alarm.

For years, Ralph de la Torre and Cerberus Capital Management bled MA hospitals dry. While they flew on private jets and made millions, workers went unpaid, patients died, and hospitals were forced to close. Massachusetts deserves accountability, and Ralph de la Torre deserves to be in jail.

When private equity treats hospitals like assets to strip instead of places to heal, patients like Chelsea Adolphus pay the price. We saw it with Steward here in MA. Congress must pass my Health Over Wealth Act now to rein in reckless private equity in healthcare.

61 years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid became law. In Massachusetts and across the country, they've meant the difference between care and catastrophe for millions of families. I am proud to keep fighting for both—today and always.

Across the country, kids are trying to learn in buildings with broken heat, leaky roofs, and hazardous ventilation systems. I’m proud to introduce the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act with @jayapal.house.gov to reinvest in our students, our planet, and our future.

The Trump administration approved the first private data center on public land using a permit meant for a solar project. Instead of building clean energy to lower utility bills, the President wants more data centers to make Big Tech rich using OUR land and resources. No way.

Trump appears poised to break the law again and send ICE and other armed federal agents to the polls this November to intimidate voters. We must protect our free and fair elections. Blanche, Mullin and Hegseth must answer my questions about election interference threats.

From record heat to noxious air from wildfires, people are paying for the climate crisis with their health. I am proud to introduce the Green New Deal for Health with @khanna.house.gov to build a healthcare system to withstand this crisis and to put patients and workers first.

Gas prices up, US troops lost, billions spent, and now this. Trump’s endless, unwinnable war has produced a new leader in Iran who is even worse than the old one. Just another reason why this war is a complete disaster. End the war now.

Instead of actually lowering your energy bills, Trump puts on a puppet show with his Big Tech donors to make them richer on your dime. My Ratepayer Roadmap offers a real solution: provide direct relief, build affordable clean energy, end profiteering from Big Tech and utilities.

The Trump administration said what has been clear for over a year: their slashing of federal funding is not about eliminating ‘waste, fraud, and abuse.’ It’s a crude attempt to punish their political opponents and harm our communities. It’s cruel, it’s illegal, and I won’t stop fighting it.

With the release of my AI Accountability Agenda, I am making a promise to families across America: I will fight to take back power from Big Tech and put it into the hands of the American people. AI must stand for Accountability and Inclusion, not Abuse and Injury.

My mother fought Alzheimer’s for thirteen years. I'm proud to lead the bipartisan reauthorization of the Alzheimer’s semipostal stamp, which has raised almost $2 million for Alzheimer’s research. Each letter sent with this stamp offers hope to families & gets us closer to a cure.

The Trump administration is turning the clock back on school civil rights to the 1960s: cutting staff, gutting the Department of Education, and eliminating tools that protect our kids from harm. All students deserve to live up to their potential with a school system that supports that.

Fair housing laws only work when local organizations can investigate violations and enforce laws. I’m proud of the Mass. Fair Housing Center for standing against Trump’s cruel attacks on fair housing groups. Housing is a human right. Everyone deserves to find a home without fear of discrimination.

Trump wants Congress to bankroll his illegal war with Iran with a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget. I voted no. Not a dime more for endless war. It's time to put people before the Pentagon. youtube.com/shorts/eec81...

Private equity gutted Steward Health Care and closed two hospitals in Massachusetts. Patients & health workers suffered, and communities were left to clean up the mess. Never again. I’m proud to reintroduce the Health Over Wealth Act with @jayapal.house.gov to stop this corporate greed.

Trump and Rubio are reckless hypocrites. They want to allow Saudi Arabia to develop nuclear technologies while starting a war with Iran under the guise of preventing an Iranian nuclear bomb. This deal will make us all less safe. We must stop a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill has stripped SNAP from 4 million people. Families shouldn’t be forced to choose between putting food on the table and paying the bills. We must reverse these cruel cuts—in the richest country in the world, no one should go hungry.

“X” is using its rebrand to try to avoid FTC privacy requirements. We all see this for what it is: Elon Musk—the richest man in the world—asking for a pass from Trump’s FTC. Unacceptable. The FTC must reject this petition.

The climate crisis is a five alarm fire. Thanks to arsonist-in-chief Donald Trump, our quality of life is up in smoke. I'm fighting to pass legislation to help Americans survive extreme heat and protect communities from the growing health impacts of the climate crisis.

Attacking civilian targets is a war crime, and Donald Trump is a war criminal. Impeachment. 25th amendment . Remove Trump from office now and end this war.

Trump is killing efficiency and crushing consumer choice, making it harder to buy cost-cutting appliances and cars. Fuel efficiency standards have saved American drivers $5 trillion since 1975. My Gas Money Saved Act would bring them back.
