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.

A 5% tax on Elon’s net worth would fund every community health center in America for the next 26 years. I’ll say it again. Tax the rich.

lol. Senator from Massachusetts who created a self inflicted housing shortage wants to tax the people of Texas, who build electric cars and rockets, to subsidize the self inflicted housing shortage

It’s community spaces like the future MetroWest YMCA in Ashland that are essential, for our children, teens and adults. Congratulations to all on the groundbreaking—this is how we build a better future.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. While working people struggle to get by, the billionaire class is becoming the TRILLIONAIRE class. It's disgusting. I'm fighting to tax the rich so we stop rewarding trading stocks over punching clocks.

When our immigrant friends and neighbors are being targeted, it's our responsibility to stand up and respond. I'm grateful to be working with State Representative Priscilla Sousa and leaders across our Commonwealth as we fight for justice.

Donald Trump just said “I love the inflation.” while handing over another $70 billion to ICE thugs. This administration doesn’t care about working people.

Todd Blanche is loyal to one client: Donald Trump. And now, Trump has nominated Blanche to lead the DOJ as his attack dog. Absolutely not. x.com/nytimes/status/2064088…

We need more leaders in Washington who will stand up to corporate power, fight for working families, and take bold action on the climate crisis. That's what Graham Platner is fighting for in Maine. And that’s how he will help Democrats take back our Senate majority.

Graham Platner has won the Maine Democratic Senate Primary. He will face off against 5-term GOP Senator Susan Collins who pledged to retire in 2009.

Honored to earn the endorsement of @massaflcio and the more than 800 local unions and nearly half a million working people they represent. Together, we are organizing for a better future.
Massachusetts AFL-CIO Endorses Ed Markey: “While we have a President who governs through greed and division and pursues policies to make the rich richer and the middle class smaller, we need champions in Congress who will stand strong against the billionaire takeover of Washington,” said President Lynch. “Senator Markey has been an enthusiastic partner to unions amidst the Trump Administration’s unprecedented attacks on the bedrock rights and values of the labor movement. He doesn’t wait for us to call him when we have a problem – he calls us and asks how he can help. The Massachusetts AFL-CIO is proud to support Senate Ed Markey for reelection.”

We’re with @EdMarkey! He doesn’t just vote the right way, he writes the bills. When things got tough politically, he didn’t throw trans people under the bus. At a moment when our rights are under attack, we stand with the candidate who will stand with us. #mapoli #MASen #LGBTQ

Democrat Senator Ed Markey wants to ensure that Hollywood can secretly insert & promote controversial gender ideology in children’s programming without any notice or transparency to parents. Recently, parents have raised concerns that programming promoting transgender and gender non-binary ideologies are being rated as appropriate for young children without providing any information to parents. The FCC is asking about empowering parents with more information so that they can make their own decisions about what is appropriate for their families. Senator Markey wants the FCC to shut down that effort.
