I don’t trade stocks. I don’t take corporate PAC donations. I don’t take money from fossil fuel companies. I don’t treat public office as a personal self enrichment fund. And I will NEVER sacrifice trans kids to win political points.

Donald Trump is putting the lives of more than 1 million innocent people in danger and you are complicit.

Let me be ABUNDANTLY clear: Temporary Protected Status is just that: TEMPORARY. Democrats tried to turn this into a defacto amnesty program. President Trump put a STOP to it. If you are in the country without status, you are here illegally. Illegal aliens have two choices — they can either accept a $2,600 stipend and a flight home to self deport, or they will be removed.

57 years ago, trans women of color led the fight at Stonewall. They didn’t ask permission. They demanded it. Now trans people are being legislated out of public life, denied healthcare, and erased from the law. We owe them the same fight they gave us. Pride is a protest. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Today we commemorate the 57th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a crucial moment in our fight for LGBTQ+ rights. This Pride month and always, I'm reflecting on the hard work of organizers and activists in getting us here—and our ongoing march towards justice and liberation.

Thanks for logging on to make sure everyone knows you're behind this racist effort. Shame on you, the President, and your klan of bigoted henchmen. America has always, and will continue to be, a nation of immigrants long after you and your cronies are gone.

The entire Democrat Party — from its crumbling figureheads to its new communist recruits — now exists to make America into Haiti and Somalia.

We will fight to reinstate protection for the TPS holders who are essential to our communities, our economy, and the fabric of our country. Because our nation is measured by its ability to protect the vulnerable—not its willingness to cast them out.

Donald Trump cut thousands of National Park Service jobs in the name of cost savings. Then he had the agency spend $1.3 Million in taxpayer funding on Italian-carved granite for his White House redecorating project. Disgusting.

My Senate bill will extend TPS for Haitians in the United States, ensuring that we can protect our families, neighbors and friends from this administration’s racist attempts to strip protection from immigrants who make our nation great.

This morning, we gathered in Boston in wake of the Supreme Court’s shameful decision to overturn protection for over a million TPS holders. To our TPS neighbors who came to this country seeking a better future—we see you, and we will not stop fighting for you.

Together, we fight for a future where LGBTQ+ rights are guaranteed, not granted—because we deserve a future where everyone is free to live as their authentic self. Happy Pride Month.

On this day 11 years ago, SCOTUS finally legalized gay marriage. And in 2026, as LGBTQ+ rights are under relentless attack by this admin, we remember this day—and are inspired by the powerful organizing that made it possible. We will not give up in the fight for true equality.

Billionaire CEOs are padding their pockets while working people struggle to get by. We need to tax the rich and make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.

Donald Trump wants a $1.5 TRILLION pentagon budget. No way. We need to cut this bloated budget in half. That's why I introduced the Slash the Pentagon Act to do just that

For most Americans, buying a home has never been harder—and yet Donald Trump refuses to sign the most important housing affordability bill Congress has passed thirty years. Despicable. Donald Trump: Sign the damn bill.

When private equity gets involved in the things that matter, prices go up. Quality goes down. And life gets harder. I'm fighting to get corporate greed out of our lives.

Tens of thousands of people die every year from opioid overdoses. We need to make it easier, not harder, to access this lifesaving medication.
Stat: Bipartisan bill seeks to allow direct prescribing of methadone for opioid addiction On Thursday, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) are introducing an updated version of legislation that would allow doctors who hold board certifications in addiction medicine to prescribe methadone directly to patients for pickup at a pharmacy.

Bipartisan bill seeks to allow direct prescribing of methadone for opioid addiction

Methadone for opioid addiction has been available only at specialty clinics. A bipartisan bill would greatly expand access.

This is not over. It is our responsibility to protect TPS holders and provide this vulnerable group with a pathway to permanent citizenship. I will not stop fighting.
