I applaud the people of Hungary for exercising their democratic freedoms and rejecting authoritarianism. I look forward to the new Hungarian government prioritizing human rights, strengthening EU ...

Americans are leaving America in record droves because they can’t afford to live in Trump’s Economy. He’s spectacularly failing at the #1 thing he promised—and was elected—to do. https://t.co/xbn...

Welcome home, Artemis II crew! Your courage, curiosity & determination will inspire a new generation to dream bigger, aim higher, and reach for the stars. It’s amazing what humanity can do wh...

This week, I conducted oversight of an ICE facility in Burlington, Massachusetts. Many of the people being held there are NOT the worst of the worst—they’re hardworking folks like Orlando, who have...

I join @RepGregoryMeeks and @SenTimKaine in condemning the blockade against Cuba that is creating a severe humanitarian crisis. We are calling for a diplomatic approach to address the Cuban people...

Trump wants a $350 BILLION slush fund to drag out his war of choice in Iran. With that money, we could PERMANENTLY extend healthcare tax credits. He wants to bomb children half way around the worl...

In the richest country in history, it’s unconscionable that 46 million people go hungry.   Thankfully, organizations like @cityfreshfoods in Roxbury are fighting to ensure our neighbors have access...

ICE honored the court order and let me in. They did not let in my staff. What I saw was very concerning. They are detaining people who should not be there at all. They are targeting people who are ...

The American people deserve the truth. When an administration is rounding people up, hiding behind locked doors, and constantly lying, Congress has a responsibility to show up, ask questions, and d...

I went because the law gives Members of Congress the right to inspect these facilities without warning.   We continue having to sue to ensure the administration complies with the law. We continue w...

I’m with the Pope.

So he’ll stop bombing Iran in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz… …which was open before he started bombing Iran. Got it.

If Trump’s cabinet had one shred of integrity left, they’d immediately invoke the 25th amendment and take the nuclear codes away from the madman sitting in the Oval Office. https://t.co/MWmufNFhvg
