I’m speaking up and I’m standing in the gap Hello, yesterday I asked Trump’s Treasury Secretary a simple question: “Yes or no, do you support an exemption to tariffs on items that parents need to care for their babies?” I was referring to car seats — which Trump doesn’t even have in his voc…

100 days

Will you keep our fight strong for 100 days more? Yes, it’s been 100 days since Trump took office, and they have been a damning masterclass of cruelty, callousness, chaos, and corruption. Trump has governed with a reckless disregard for the Constitution and contempt for everyone who calls…

This is not normal

Donald Trump’s abuses of power will not go unchecked. I recently got back from Louisiana, where I visited the ICE detention center where Rümeysa Öztürk — one of my constituents — and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. It was a physically and emotionally grueling and depleting day…

Read our Op-Ed in the New York Times

  When a government begins to imprison writers for their words, when it brazenly disregards the law in favor of an authoritarian political agenda, when it cloaks oppression in the language of national security, alarm bells must ring. Loudly. My colleagues Senator Markey, Congressman McGov…

Black history will not be erased
