A month ago, I warned that Trump couldn't be trusted with more authority. Now he’s proving it: abandoning our allies to cozy up to Putin – and at the cost of Ukrainian lives and American values.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer: while Trump is using tax dollars to promote himself on TV, he’s taking more resources away from communities that need them. Congress approved this funding, and denying these funds from the American people is a blatant attack on Congress’s constitutional powers.

Social Security Commissioner Bisignano told Congress he has “the right amount of staff.” Meanwhile, field offices are described as “ghost offices” & record-low morale has created the worst staffing crisis in SSA’s history. His failure to respond after 3 months leaves serious questions unanswered.

Trump's track record speaks for itself. The American people can't afford for Congress to hand more price-hiking tariff power to the most corrupt president in history.

This morning, I joined the Westfield community and the families of four Westfield residents who were taken from us 25 years ago. Hearing their stories was a poignant reminder of how much time has passed and the many milestones their loved ones should have had the chance to witness.

Trump promised you he’d cut costs on day 1. Nearly 600 days later, and you’re footing the bill for his costly war, thoughtless tariffs, and grandiose vanity projects. Workers and families in Massachusetts deserve better.

Every day the Trump Administration launches attack after attack on hard-working people. In this case, the IRS and CEO Bisignano are trying to trample on the rights of IRS unionized employees. I’m demanding answers and accountability.

The same people who promised you trillions of dollars in savings are now responsible for ballooning the debt to $40 trillion. More broken promises from a president only focused on enriching himself.

Republicans are forcing families to make harder choices just to get by. Their paychecks aren’t keeping up. Their savings are disappearing. And the cost of everyday essentials keeps climbing.

Democrats’ fight to protect Social Security from Republican sabotage is still unwavering, as is our commitment to strengthening it. Because after a lifetime of hard work, you deserve the benefits you’ve been promised.

Medicare & Medicaid reflect our belief that everyone deserves dignity & security. 61 years later, Republicans are moving us in the opposite direction. After making the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, they're not satisfied & are finding new ways to hike costs and shut down more hospitals.

Trump promised Massachusetts families lower costs. Instead, they're paying more than $4 a gallon for gas, $70 more for electricity, and facing health care premiums that have climbed more than 50%. Trump's policies aren't working.

Today, we celebrate another year of the oldest Committee in Congress. Where we spend our money shows what we value as a nation—and @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social is where those priorities take shape. As we celebrate 237 years, its jurisdiction demands nothing less than the best for the American people.

It wouldn’t be a day in Washington without the Trump Administration trying to jack up your costs even further. Forced labor is a real and pervasive problem and it should never be cheapened into a pretext for Trump’s unrelenting attempts to keep his tariffs.

Trump has forced people to spend nearly $60 billion more at the pump since the start of the war he started and has failed to get out of. What else could you have spent an extra $477 on?

6 years ago, we lost a titan of Congress and my dear friend, Congressman John Lewis. Throughout his life, John never stopped fighting to make our country more just and equal for all. We will never stop working to carry forward his legacy.

While Republicans try to rebrand their Big Ugly Law, real people are feeling the pain of their bad policies. I broke it down in a recent episode of the Julie Mason Show. Listen to my full interview here: sxm-publish-clips.content-ingest.siriusxm.com/clip/f319447...

Republicans claimed there wasn’t enough money to fund health care. Now they’re trying to hand Trump $350 billion while your premiums double. You were never their priority.

At a time when rent and mortgage payments are climbing, Trump would rather see Americans on the streets than at the ballot box. You deserve better.

It was great to be in Charlemont to announce federal funding for a new pumper fire truck that enhances public safety for local residents. Investing in rural communities is the work Congress should be doing. I’m proud to secure funds that support those who serve our communities & keep them safe.

Since retaking office, Trump has added billions to his net worth while you're stuck paying higher bills. Republicans are letting the president profit from power while you struggle to refill your prescriptions and put food on the table. This should never have happened.

It was an honor to join veterans, community leaders, and state & local officials for an unveiling ceremony of the new Veterans Memorial Garden in Forest Park. A fitting tribute to those who served to protect our freedoms, this garden is a reminder of the sacrifice made by veterans & their families.

I was proud to join state and local officials, STCC leaders, faculty & staff to break ground on the relocation of the School of Health and Patient Simulation. This $55M investment will strengthen our health care workforce by giving students the state-of-the-art training they need to succeed.

It was a privilege to welcome President Clinton, Members of Congress, former staff, and family of Barney Frank to celebrate his life and service to Massachusetts. Barney was a friend, a trailblazer, and a good person whose legacy will live on through the lives he changed and the country he served.

Trump repeatedly claimed private donors, not taxpayers, would be paying for his ballroom. Instead, taxpayers are expected to foot half of the $600 million bill. That's $300 million that could lower health care costs, strengthen Social Security services, or help families struggling.

For nearly 160 years, the last Monday in May has served as a day to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. On this Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy every day and remember the sacrifices of those who have made this observance possible.

The President who once promised to lower costs on day one now dismisses the pain you feel as something he doesn’t even think about. This is the reality of Trump's economy and the direct result of his war of choice—and it's only going to get worse.

Trump is engaging in levels of corruption unlike anything America has seen from a president. His scheme to reward his allies and shield himself, his family, & his businesses is a gross assault on taxpayers. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov Ranking Member @raskin.house.gov & I are demanding answers.

If there’s one thing the Trump Administration is consistent about, it’s finding new ways to steal from the American people. Republicans can keep ignoring these gross abuses of power, but today I am leading my Democratic colleagues to protect the money you’ve worked hard to earn.

The Supreme Court’s decision to weaken voting rights is a stain on our democracy. The right to vote is fundamental to who we are as Americans. After years of hard-fought progress by voters of color, this ruling marks a dangerous step backward. Democrats won’t stop fighting to protect voting rights

The average price of gas in the U.S. surpassed $4.50/gallon, up more than $1.50 since Trump's war began. This is the "small price to pay," as the President described it, for his reckless & illegal war. Add gasoline to the growing list of things Americans can no longer afford under Trump's economy.

This Tax Day, it’s clear: Republicans handed tax cuts to the wealthy and higher costs to workers and families. Over 2 million refunds delayed, sky-high inflation, and a stretched-thin IRS that Trump is suing for $10 billion. Americans were promised relief but got higher bills instead.

The American people didn't ask for the war in Iran, yet they are paying the price. Health care costs and grocery prices were already skyrocketing, and now the national average for gas is nearing $4 per gallon—and climbing. This is the reality of Trump's "Golden Age."

16 years ago, Democrats made history and showed what’s possible when you invest in people. 16 years later, Republicans made history with the largest cut to health care. Dems believe families should never have to choose between rent or their doctor. Our fight won’t waver until that’s a reality.

Workers and families across Massachusetts and the country were promised lower prices on Day 1. Over 400 days later, prices are up and the job market is shrinking. Democrats refuse to join Republicans in settling for this failure. The American people deserve better.

Tonight, I voted to pass the War Powers Resolution and force the President to make his case in plain view of the American people. Unfortunately, congressional Republicans continued to demonstrate their subservience to the President, rubber-stamping a war the American people do not want.

President Trump is using his State of the Union address to try to sell the American people on the idea that we’re in a "golden age." But I’ll be right here in my office, putting in the work to deliver real results for the American people.

For months, Democrats warned about Republican cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Now we’re seeing the consequences. Like hospitals across MA-01, Baystate depends on this funding to care for seniors, working families, & vulnerable residents. Without it, jobs will be lost, & health care costs will rise.
