When the rules aren’t working—we change them. To protect the vulnerable. Pass Medicare for All. Abolish ICE. This is our fight. Our time is now.

Our nurses are the backbone of Massachusetts, and they deserve fair pay and good conditions. They fight tirelessly for us—we need to fight tirelessly for their rights. I stand with the Brigham Nurses and @MassNurses, and I urge all parties to come to the bargaining table.

The Trump admin is caving to Saudi demands and leading us down a dangerous path to a Saudi nuclear bomb and an arms race in the Middle East.

Saudis have not ruled out developing nuclear weapons, U.S. intelligence assesses

The sobering outlook has compounded concerns from some U.S. lawmakers about President Donald Trump’s agreement to assist the kingdom with establishing a civilian nuclear program.

Public interest shouldn’t lose to private equity. We need to protect our communities from corporate greed and fight to remove private equity’s influence from our Commonwealth and country.

Data centers have consequences for our environment, our health, and our bills—and our communities should be able to say no.

Donald Trump is ripping us off. He makes billions off of struggling Americans while plunging our nation into war. He lets foreign oligarchs and tech billionaires pay to play. It's a presidency built for the ultra-wealthy—and it's the most corrupt administration in history.

People all across this country understand that it’s Trump’s reckless, illegal war with Iran driving up prices at the pump. Americans are already struggling to get by—we must end this war and slash the Pentagon now.

ICE agents are disappearing our neighbors and sowing violence in our communities. Their reign of terror has no place on our streets—Trump’s domestic terror organization must go. Abolish ICE now.

Billionaires and corporate special interests are getting a free pass to buy our elections and pay off corrupt politicians. It's unacceptable. We need to get dark money out of politics now.

Higher education should be accessible to everyone in this country—no matter your income level or zip code. Thats why we made community college free in Massachusetts. Grateful to be in this movement with leaders like @massteacher.

Health care is a human right, not a privilege. We need to put people over profit and protect health care access for everyone. We need Medicare for All now.

Groceries. Gas prices. Medical bills. Costs are rising, and Americans are struggling to get by while the Trump administration continues to drive up prices. Thats why we’re fighting for a progressive majority to build a brighter, more affordable future for everyone.

ICE is a domestic terror organization wreaking havoc on our communities and committing violence across the country. We need to abolish ICE now.

By trying to undermine our mail-in voting system, Donald Trump is trying to disenfranchise millions of Americans. We must fight back against threats to political participation and preserve our democracy.

Freedom of the press is essential to the functioning of our democracy. Trump’s ban on CNN, MSNOW, and Politico will have a chilling effect on all expression. It’s authoritarian and unconstitutional. No more.

While working people struggle to get by, Donald Trump is spending hard-earned tax dollars on illegal wars, vanity projects, and securing sweetheart deals. Trump doesn’t work for us—he works for billionaire CEOS. We must impeach Donald Trump now.
