One of the opening acts of Trump's war of choice was the massacre of schoolkids in Iran. Those kids would be alive today if Congress had done our job and restrained the president's lust for power. Sadly, House Republicans again blocked a bill to end the war. A contemptible

As more AI data centers are built, Americans are concerned about their energy, water, and land use, as well as air, noise, and light pollution. Little reliable information is public, so @SenMarkey and I introduced our AI Environmental Impacts Act to bring it to light.

When President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women were making 30% less than their male counterparts on average. In the decades since, the Equal Pay Act has cut this gap in half, but we need to keep working until there is no pay gap at all!

Donald Trump just said “I love the inflation.”  I guess he doesn’t care if you're being squeezed by higher costs as long a he and his cronies get richer.

And with this bruiser of an inflation report, there's been no real wage gains for all employees under President Trump. It's zero. For production and nonsupervisory workers, wages are back down to February 2025 levels, with the Iran War erasing around 15 months of previous gains.

Trump promised repeatedly that he would “end inflation” starting on day one but by almost every measure, he's failed to achieve those goals. And far from lowering costs, his tariffs have only made the affordability crisis worse for the American people.

Celebrating 250 years of our democracy should be a celebration for every American, regardless of who they voted for. But Donald Trump only knows how to celebrate himself and is using your tax dollars to pay for it.
