Back on the picket line with Encore workers—one day longer. One day stronger. They are not agonizing, they are organizing. Urging parties to negotiate in good faith and agree to a contract with good wages and working conditions.

Donald Trump's economy is failing working people while the billionaire class gets richer. This November, we're going to build a bolder, more affordable future for all.

Massachusetts firefighters run into danger to protect our communities every single day. I'm proud to deliver 2.5 million in federal funding for the Revere Fire Department.

When we organize together, working people are unstoppable. Wonderful to rally in Dorchester this morning with unions from across our Commonwealth.

This Administration is cutting healthcare lifelines that are essential to our communities—but we won't stand for it. I was honored to join my partners in this fight at La Colaborativa this morning, and grateful for their tireless advocacy.

While Massachusetts families suffer from rising gas, grocery, and electricity costs, CEO billionaires and the ultra-wealthy are getting richer. We need to tax the rich and build a more just, affordable country for everyone.

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on day one. His illegal war in Iran has cost Americans billions. We need to end this war now.

In Trump’s America, working families struggle to get by while billionaires buy our elections and rig the system. It doesn’t have to be this way. We need to get money out of politics and put the power back in the hands of the many.

We need to get corporations and private equity out of our communities and ensure that everyone can afford a home. Because housing is a human right.

Ed Markey @edmarkey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Who’s paying for Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran? Working people. Gas prices. Grocery costs. Energy bills. American families are paying more than ever. End the war now.

Abolish ICE. Pass Medicare for All. Secure a living wage for everyone. We need a progressive majority to build a bolder, brighter future for the entire country.

Donald Trump's ICE thugs are breaking apart families and building a reign of terror in our communities. We need to abolish ICE now.

Our progressive movement is building across the country. This November, we need to get out the vote and elect progressive leaders—to create a country that works for everyone, not just the ultra-rich.

The climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our planet, and Donald Trump ignores it while pouring money into the pockets of fossil fuel executives. This can’t continue. We need a green energy revolution to protect our planet and build a resilient future for all.

In Donald Trump's economy, prices are continuing to rise and Americans are struggling to get by. We need to lower costs, ensure a living wage, and build a better future for working families across the country.

Senators Press HHS on Delays in Getting Covid-19 Vaxxes to Kids
Senate Democratic leaders are pressing the Health and Human Services Department about an apparent delay in making Covid-19 vaccines available through a pediatric inoculation program.

The CDC delayed the program that gets Covid-19 vaccines to low-income kids. All kids should deserve protection from harm, regardless of how much their family makes.

Yet another attack by the Trump administration on LGBTQ+ kids. We deserve an Education Secretary who supports ALL students. Linda McMahon should resign.

Trump is $2 billion richer than he was when he was elected in 2024. His family is making hundreds of millions off his presidency. Meanwhile, the American people are struggling to get by. You do the math. It’s blatant corruption.

Trump’s illegal Iran war is driving up gas costs for American drivers. Reducing fuel economy standards will only make it even harder for Americans to afford their gas at the pump. Unacceptable. We need an economy that works for working people—not Big Oil.

ICE and CBP facial recognition tools are authoritarian—and we cannot allow this intimidation of our Black and Brown neighbors and surveillance of our communities. I’ve introduced the Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act to end this disturbing activity now.

Our country is not for sale. We must take power away from Trump and his cronies and put it back in the hands of the people. Together, we will fight against the billionaire class and vote these oligarchs out of office.

We need universal health care for every American. It’s time to fight for Medicare for All and ensure that everyone receives the care they need.

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 the Massachusetts Nurses Association 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.

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.

There’s a people-powered progressive movement building across the country. This November, we need to take back the House and Senate and deliver a bold, progressive vision for all.

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.

With @peggyflanagan.bsky.social and the wave of progressive candidates building across the country, we are going to secure a bigger, brighter future for all. Show up to the polls. Organize. Do everything you can to send our movement to the Senate this November.

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.bsky.social. .

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.

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.

Ed Markey @edmarkey.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
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.

Ed Markey @edmarkey.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
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.
