I am heartbroken by the reporting out of Venezuela and praying for the hundreds of victims and families still searching for their loved ones. We must come together to provide relief for Venezuela in this devastating moment.

Today is the anniversary of the landmark Obergefell decision—expanding the constitutional right to same-sex marriage and equal protection under the law. As we celebrate this milestone for LGBTQ+ equality, now more than ever we must continue fighting for equal rights and to protect our democracy.

Today in Boston, I stood with community leaders to condemn the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn TPS protection. This fight isn’t over. I will do everything in my power to pass my TPS legislation in the Senate and protect our families, neighbors, and classmates who call America home.

You shouldn't be in debt to your employer for leaving a job. @SenMarkey and I are demanding answers from companies about their use of coercive stay-or-pay contracts that saddle workers with debt and restrict their freedom to leave. These anti-worker practices must end.

Gas prices are still high from Trump's illegal war in Iran. Fuel efficiency standards saved drivers money for decades before Trump put Big Oil above Americans. I introduced the Gas Money Saved Act to make sure drivers can buy fuel-efficient cars that keep money in their pockets.
'MARKEY BILL TARGETS CAE: Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has introduced a bill that would require the Transportation Department to revisit its current fuel economy standards if gas prices jump more than five times faster than inflation. The Gas Money Saved Act would also reverse Republicans' vote last year to zero out all penalties for non-compliance with fuel economy standards.'

The Supreme Court sided with corporate polluters over the health of the American people. This decision to protect Bayer and Monsanto puts corporate immunity above accountability. Americans deserve transparency about cancer-linked chemicals and the ability to hold corporations accountable.

Methadone is a life-saving medication, but we’ve kept it locked away from people who need it. I reintroduced my bipartisan Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act 2.0 to knock down barriers to treatment and help people stay healthy and safe.

The Trump administration says countries like Haiti and Syria are too dangerous for Americans to visit, yet today's SCOTUS decision puts TPS holders at risk of being sent back. @RepPressley and I will do everything in our power to pass legislation to protect TPS holders.

Trump violated our constitution by refusing to seek Congress’s approval for his illegal and reckless war, yet now he wants Congress to pay for it? No way. End this war.

It's workers vs. billionaires and I know which side I'm on. Proud to stand alongside @SenSanders with @IAM_Union to fight for good-paying union jobs, fair taxes, workers' rights, and an economy that rewards work, not wealth.

Trump’s war with Iran put our economy in the hands of Big Oil—and they’re doing what they do best: engaging in price gouging and collusion. I told the FTC to investigate months ago. Trump is allowing and abetting Big Oil's highway robbery.
Avatar Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil. Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being “gouged.” I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this. Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I’m seeing! President DJT
