I am concerned the ShotSpotter Detection Program could be causing civil rights violations through unjustified surveillance and over-policing of Black and Brown communities. That's why I'm calling on DHS Office of Inspector General to investigate federal funding for it.

I have long fought to ensure that FAA stands for Families Ahead of Airlines. And thanks to the FAA Reauthorization Act, we've made that vision reality. Airlines can no longer charge parents extra just so they can sit with their kids, and I'm still celebrating this historic win.

The Banking on Climate Chaos report is clear—banks are gambling our future on investments that fuel the climate crisis. In 2023, banks invested more than $700 billion in fossil fuels despite net-zero commitments. Let’s pass my Fossil Free Finance Act now. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

I applaud @FERC's final transmission rule, which literally will bring power to the people. With better planning, we can figure out where to build transmission and who should pay—just like my CHARGE Act would require—so cheap, clean energy can get to our doorsteps.

It's crucial that the US and China maintain an open dialogue to forestall the AI arms race. I urge President Biden to continue these talks. My Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous AI Act with Rep. Ted Lieu will ensure AI isn't involved in the use of nuclear weapons.ft.com/content/e10b03…

I was proud to win the fight to get Judge Julie Rikelman confirmed to the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit—and I was honored to attend her investiture ceremony yesterday. Judge Rikelman will be an outstanding addition to the First Circuit and make the Commonwealth proud.

A healthy economy—and a healthy planet—will be built by and for union workers and frontline communities. It was great to join Massachusetts AFL-CIO. Let's put clean energy dollars to work with union jobs and deliver climate, economic, and health benefits to doorsteps across the country.

It was a great morning at Logan Airport to celebrate the Senate passage of the FAA Reauthorization Act. With key protections banning family seating fees and ensuring automatic refunds for canceled flights, we're clearing the runway for smooth travel and grounding corporate greed.

I'm live at Logan Airport celebrating the Senate passage of the FAA Reauthorization Act. After years of fighting to ensure airlines put people over profits, this bill is now fully booked with wins for families, workers, and travelers. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Republicans want to roll back the fundamental right to contraception. We have a moral obligation to fight back and pass my Right to Contraception Act to ensure everyone has access to essential health care.

An invasion of Rafah would bring suffering and death to the more than one million Palestinians trapped there and jeopardize the return of the hostages. The U.S. must not be complicit, and President Biden is right to hold Netanyahu accountable.

With Trump pledging to roll back environmental protections, our planet and future are at stake. That's why I asked Michael Regan, U.S. EPA about protections that will save lives, money, and our future in MA. From cutting pollution to cutting costs at the pump, @EPA is leading the way.

Immigrants deserve respect and access to the opportunities our nation offers. But millions of undocumented immigrants live in fear of separation from their families. That's why I joined Senator Alex Padilla in urging President Biden to take executive action to support undocumented immigrants.
