380+ clinical trials disrupted. More than 74k real people waiting for breakthroughs. All derailed by NIH grants cuts. I’m leading the MA delegation demanding answers from the Trump admin. We need the truth about cuts to lifesaving research.

Meta wants to quietly roll out facial recognition technology in its smart glasses, hoping Americans won’t notice the potential risk to their privacy and civil rights. They’re mistaken. I have serious questions about the privacy risks and ethics of deploying this technology.

Right now, billionaires can pay less in taxes on their stock trades than teachers or nurses that educate our children and care for us in emergencies. My Equal Tax Act would stop rewarding wealth more than work by making the ultra-wealthy pay taxes like millions of working people.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all celebrating in Massachusetts and beyond! Today we honor the rich Irish heritage that helped shape our Commonwealth and continues to strengthen our communities.

The Trump administration has made attacking transgender Americans central to its agenda. I want to hear from you. Share your story so we can fight back and defend dignity, safety, and freedom for all.

A century ago, Worcester’s Dr. Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, helping spark the modern space age. The Bay State has always had a rich tradition of innovation—with Central Mass helping launch us to the stars.

Congratulations to @masslive.bsky.social and the entire Springfield Republican newsroom on winning 13 first-place awards. Our democracy needs strong local journalism now more than ever.

The foundation is cracking. Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center just resigned saying he “cannot in good conscience” support Trump’s war because Iran “posed no imminent threat.” The people deep inside know how wrong this war is. This illegal, reckless war must end now.

A court just blocked a major part of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda. Good. Vaccines save lives. Policy must be guided by science—not conspiracy theories and dangerous misinformation. Today’s ruling is a victory for science, for parents, and for kids across America.

RFK Jr.’s reckless anti-science crusade is turning deadly in the Commonwealth and across the country. He continues to spread vaccine misinformation, cut lifesaving NIH-funded research, and dismantle our public health infrastructure. RFK Jr. must end his Make America Sick Agenda.

Let me get this straight: DHS collected sensitive biometric data they shouldn’t have — and now they can’t even locate it? Outrageous doesn’t begin to cover it.

Cuba has gone dark. Trump’s vindictive oil embargo – along with a sanctions regime that has starved Cuba of opportunities to develop its solar and wind – is depriving innocent Cuban citizens of basic necessities and creating a humanitarian crisis. Trump must end the embargo.

The Federal Censorship Commission is threatening broadcasters who don’t cover Trump’s illegal Iran war the way he wants. Democracies don’t censor the media, authoritarians do. I’m demanding that Brendan Carr resign, now.

Trump chose this war and now he wants help. Why would NATO help protect the Strait of Hormuz after Trump did not consult with NATO before he launched this illegal war in Iran? Trump was recently threatening to attack Greenland, part of NATO. Mr. “I don’t need allies” now wants them.

The BP Oil Spill was the worst environmental disaster in US history. It wreaked economic havoc and cost us billions to clean up. The Trump administration is giving BP the green light to do it again—all so Big Oil can make money off our backs and leave us to live with the mess.

It’s not even subtle. Carr is saying: Broadcasters, cover Trump’s illegal Iran war as he says or the Trump FCC will destroy you. This is censorship.

Americans do not trust RFK Jr. to keep them healthy and safe. His reckless vaccine skepticism and disregard for science and truth are hurting families across the country. I’m calling for him to testify at my Health Committee and am tracking his chaos here: www.markey.senate.gov/rfktracker

Americans are in for a crude awakening at the pump. Trump’s illegal war in Iran is costing people $1.8 billion more per week on gas. That money could fund home energy tax credits, electric vehicle rebates, and more. We must end the war and break our addiction to fossil fuels.

A Massachusetts small business owner testified this week that health insurance premiums for his business are rising 27% this year. This is not sustainable. When MAGA Republicans refuse to lower health care costs, small businesses and workers pay the price.

A win for veterans. A federal judge saw through Trump’s illegal union-busting of VA workers. The dedicated people who care for veterans every day now have their labor rights protected. When the VA is strong, our veterans benefit.

It’s simple: more exposure to ethylene oxide means more cases of cancer for workers and communities. Trump’s EPA is rolling back our protections against these toxic emissions—we can’t let the EPA put polluter profits over the health of our families.

Trump’s illegal war with Iran cost $11.3 BILLION in the first six days alone. Here’s what that money could fund instead for the American people:

Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud. He's driving up gas prices so his Big Oil cronies can rake in massive profits at your expense. No war with Iran.

Trump launched this reckless war “hoping” to change the regime in Iran, “hoping” Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz, and “hoping” gas prices would not go up. There was no plan. Hope is not a military strategy. This war is a tragic failure.

I’m grateful to the first responders in Bloomfield Hills for their swift response at Temple Israel. Houses of worship must always be places of peace and safety. Antisemitism and violence have no place in our country.

My heart is with the families of the victims of the shooting at Old Dominion University and with the entire ODU community. No student should have to fear for their safety on campus. This violence is unacceptable, and these tragedies must end.

It has been more than 200 days since I called on the Trump administration to have a plan for tariff refunds. Now, Trump’s delay is costing $20 million per day in interest. American small businesses, workers, and consumers need their money back without delay.

My constituent, Juan David, is facing imminent deportation. The Trump administration needs to allow time for his T visa case to be processed. Removing him before he can fully pursue this relief is unconscionable.

I am relieved about the release of the 14-year-old girl picked up by federal agents yesterday. I will continue to do everything I can to support her case. Her safety and wellbeing need to be ensured.

Classic Trump. Faced with a tragic US mistake that cost the lives of 168 children in Iran, Trump, against all evidence, blames Iran. I was proud to join my Democratic colleagues in writing to Trump to demand the truth. Trump must own up to this catastrophe now.

Trump is doubling down on his illegal tariff taxes and putting even more pain on Main Street. American small businesses, workers, and families can’t wait for another court decision. We must pass the Small Business Liberation 2.0 Act and stop Trump's tariff madness.

Offshore wind means local union jobs, economic wins for Massachusetts communities, and cheap clean power that protects us from global oil price shocks. New Bedford is showing how to get it done—now Trump needs to back off his unlawful attacks so we can keep building.

Americans are paying for this war at the pump. Americans are paying for this war with their lives. Now Trump and Republicans are asking Americans to foot the bill for more of this war with their tax dollars. No. No more funding for this reckless war.

Gas prices are soaring at home, but instead of ending his illegal and reckless war abroad, Trump is easing sanctions on Russia to sell more oil. Trump’s war is now benefitting his buddy Putin, who is helping Iran. And more money for Putin will hurt Ukraine. What a disaster.

Trump’s illegal war with Iran is hitting Americans hard—at the pump, at the grocery store, and on their utility bills. Americans deserve to know what the cost of Trump’s reckless actions will be for themselves and their families as he continues this war. I'm calling for answers.

Trump’s strikes on oil infrastructure in Iran released massive plumes of toxic smoke, inflicting environmental warfare on innocent Iranian families—alarming their loved ones in Massachusetts and worldwide. This is a human rights violation. Trump must stop this illegal war.

Trump is lying and children are dying in Iran. Trump claimed again that Iran attacked a girls’ school where 175 people died, mostly children, using a Tomahawk missile. Not true. Only the US uses Tomahawks in this war. Trump must own up to this tragedy. We must end this war.

For 25+ years, green card holders and other lawful immigrants have been eligible for SBA loans, creating jobs and investing in communities. Now, 5+ million entrepreneurs are completely cut off from SBA loans. Trump's SBA must immediately reverse its cruel, anti-immigrant policies.

Donald Trump is throwing gasoline on the flames of war in Iran, while at home, Americans are paying higher prices for gasoline at the pump. Take a walk with me to see how prices are skyrocketing as a result of this illegal war.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is causing the largest oil shock in history. Gas prices are spiking, and Americans will be feeling the pain at the pump. Meanwhile, Trump is not ruling out sending ground troops into Iran. Americans do not want an expensive and endless war abroad.

My Statement Welcoming the Ruling Against Trump Administration Effort to Terminate Protected Status for Haitians.

Today we celebrate the strength, leadership, and achievements of women in Massachusetts and around the world. International Women’s Day is a reminder that the fight for equality, dignity, and opportunity for every woman continues, and must continue every day.

So much joy in Easthampton this evening at the CitySpace ArtWalk. Proud to support the artists, musicians, and community that make this city special, and celebrate the $3.5 million I secured to renovate the historic Old Town Hall.

Trump is continuing his crusade of erasure at our parks. This time, removing films that tell the history of women and immigrant labor organizing against terrible conditions at the Lowell Mills. Trump cannot erase the truth. Watch one of the films now on my YouTube: youtu.be/PhfN-c_Qv3o

Last year, the Trump admin unjustifiably shuttered the Springfield @SBAgov branch office, leaving entrepreneurs in western Mass hours away from in-person services and community partners in the lurch. I’m working with @warren.senate.gov, @neal.house.gov, and @repmcgovern.bsky.social to get answers.

I’ve secured more than $100 million dollars for 85 community projects across our Commonwealth this year. Check out my investments map to learn more about the money coming to our communities. www.markey.senate.gov/map

Trump’s call for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” is just a road to endless war. We need an immediate ceasefire, not excuses to keep fighting. Trump is increasing the danger that he will send ground troops into Iran. We need diplomacy before this becomes a disaster.

Electricity rates are spiking as AI data centers pop up across the country. Households and small businesses should not be made to subsidize data centers while they already struggle to get by. Our nation's public utility commissions set household rates--they can act now.

I’m calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.

Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill to force the government to attempt to sell our lands and waters to fossil fuel companies. The first sale off the coast of Alaska got ZERO bids: no one wants their fossil fuel fantasies. Trump—cut your losses and leave our lands alone.
