#MedicaidMatters. For our families. For our seniors. For our neighbors with disabilities. It's more than a program — it's a lifeline for 80 million Americans. We can’t let Republicans dismantle this vital resource just to cut billionaires’ taxes.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Whenever Republicans get a chance, they go after health care. Why? Because they believe access to care should be a privilege reserved for the wealthy and powerful. Today, I met with community health center leaders in Framingham to say Hands Off Medicaid!

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights. I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify them into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

If Trump can disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

HAPPY TAX DAY! How much would you spend on a year of tornado warnings? The average US taxpayer spends only $4 a year to help fund the NWS. It’s a smart investment—every $1 invested in NWS yields approx. $73 in social benefits. 🌪️❄️ Support science. Support the NWS. Stay tuned for more this #TaxDay

No kid should go hungry. Period. But Republicans are slashing school meals and vital nutrition programs to fund their billionaire tax breaks. I visited Belmont High to see their nutrition program in action and to stand up for every student's right to a healthy future.
