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.

I just left the Senate floor where I was proud to vote for @ewarren’ss 21st Century ROAD to housing act. Housing is a human right, and this is an essential step toward lowering housing costs and taking on corporate greed.

I just voted to end Trump's illegal war in Iran. We can't continue to let a mad man run rampant over our United States Constitution while risking innocent lives and driving up costs for working people. This war must end now.

While I’m in Washington doing my job and voting to stop Trump’s reckless Iran war, Seth Moulton is platforming a MAGA multimillionaire in a Republican debate. They’ve agreed on a lot in the past—let me know if Seth decides to change his tune now that he’s running for Senate.

I just introduced my Slash the Pentagon Act to cut Donald Trump's 1.5 TRILLION dollar defense budget in half. No more illegal wars. No more reckless endangerment of American lives. We need to cut this bloated budget and invest it in the programs Americans need to survive.

Donald Trump is building a ballroom on the backs of working people. $600 million in taxpayer funds for his gold encrusted vanity project. Donald Trump is robbing the American people.

Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor’s invoices show otherwise.

An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.

My opponent wants to be a United States Senator, and yet he has delayed both his annual tax filing and his required personal financial disclosure until after early voting starts. Unacceptable. Today, I released my tax returns. I'm calling on Congressman Moulton to do the same.
Boston, MA – Today, Senator Ed Markey released his 2025 federal tax return and called on Congressman Seth Moulton to immediately release his own tax returns and provide Massachusetts voters with full transparency regarding his finances before ballots are cast in the Democratic primary. “The people of Massachusetts deserve a clear and complete picture of the financial interests, investments, and potential conflicts of those seeking to represent them in Washington,” said Senator Markey. “I am releasing my tax return, and I am calling on Congressman Moulton to do the same. Voters have a right to transparency and honesty from their elected representatives—we are accountable to them, not investment interests, CEOs, or shareholders." Senator Markey’s call comes as Moulton has delayed filing his mandatory personal financial disclosure report, requesting a 90-day extension that pushes the filing and public release of the report to August 13, 2026 – potentially two weeks after mail-in voting

After forcing transgender people from the military, the President is cutting off their health care. This is just the latest attack in a long line of cruel policies stripping the dignity of service members. The people who served our country deserve the care that they’ve earned.

For all those wondering why Elon is scared of this conversation.
Screenshot of Trump’s truth social post reading: Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!

The article is totally false btw. You can add up every government incentive my companies have ever received and they amount to less than 2% of the value of SpaceX and Tesla! And many of these incentives actually helped our competitors disproportionately to Tesla or SpaceX. For example, when President Trump removed the $7500 tax credit for electric vehicles, Tesla sales actually INCREASED, because more buyers shifted from other EV makers to Tesla.

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.
