Workers paid 9% more for their family's health insurance this year, with annual premiums of almost $7.5k.

At a time when costs are growing faster than wages, Trump and MAGA Republicans are putting their billionaire friends ahead of Massachusetts families.

Rubio has made a mockery of his position by politicizing his responsibility to the U.S.'s national security and diplomatic efforts. The individuals chosen to serve our country as diplomats swear an oath to the Constitution not political loyalty to a wannabe king.

The Trump admin is playing games instead of prioritizing robust resources that small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country rely on. I'm fighting alongside @afgenational to demand transparency from Trump’s @SBAgov and to ensure Main Street can grow and thrive.

There must be an independent federal investigation of the Burlington ICE facility. I have seen the conditions myself and am deeply disturbed by reports of detainees, including pregnant women, being denied the treatment they need.

SCOTUS made the right decision today rejecting the Trump administration’s effort to withhold essential medical care from trans people behind bars. Healthcare is a human right.

Disgusting. We need to pass my No Robot Bosses and Stop Spying Bosses Acts now to put an end to this weaponized surveillance and union-busting by machine.

A document unveiled in a court case appears to show Amazon using AI to track workers and rank how likely they are to form unions.

The document has been released as part of court proceedings between Amazon and Canadian union Unifor.

It shows Amazon using an AI tool dubbed "Atlas" to give warehouses a risk score of between 100 and 900 for union activity, with a lower score meaning it believes workers are more likely to unionize. A higher score is “better” for leaders at the company, the document says.

I’m glad the U.S. government is now warning travelers that they are at risk of wrongful detention if traveling to China. I continue to urge the immediate release of wrongfully detained U.S. citizens Youlin Chen and Min Zen.

Terrifying news that a white supremacist planned a shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois. I’m grateful to local law enforcement and community members who prevented this incident. The rise of racist and xenophobic threats against Indian and Hindu Americans is alarming and has no place in our country.

Building West-East rail is a once-in-a-generation investment. I’m proud to have worked together with @MassGovernor and the federal delegation to secure this funding as we work to connect our communities and regional economies like never before.

Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in a day and the Iran war in a few weeks. He was dead wrong. Now, by buying diesel fuel from Russia, Trump is fueling both wars to last longer. Whose side is he on? Trump is risking lives for an empty campaign talking point.

I am heartbroken by the news of another devastating school shooting, this time in Oregon. We can't keep living like this and children can't keep dying like this. Congress must take action to end gun violence now.

Brendan Carr’s FCC is threatening to end E-Rate, which has helped connect schools and libraries to the internet for 30 years. I led my colleagues in writing to Carr demanding that he abandon this effort. Students and communities cannot afford to lose E-Rate.

The U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal is about megatons, not megawatts. Trump should not be sharing nuclear bomb technology with a nation that U.S. intelligence says may want nuclear weapons. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race. We must reject this dangerous deal.
