First, Trump takes a massive bribe from Qatar in the form of a $400 million luxury jet. Then, despite clear security threats, he rushes it into use, skipping many of the usual defensive systems. So, not only is this plane an illegal bribe, but it risks our national security. Corrupt and dangerous.

Trump is either politicizing disaster declarations or he is attacking states where it snows—neither is good. The February blizzard was costly for our communities, and Trump must approve the Commonwealth’s need for assistance. I will continue fighting with Governor Healey as she appeals this denial.

This missile test should be a wake up call to Trump that we need to negotiate with China and Russia about reducing nuclear threats. There are currently no treaties limiting nuclear weapons, which is an invitation for a new nuclear arms race. We cannot allow that to happen. Time to get back to the negotiating table. The bomb is ticking...

I am saddened by the passing of Tibetan activist Lobga Ranzen, and my deepest condolences go out to the Tibetan community. China’s ethnic unity law is a tool for targeting the identity of Tibetans and other minorities. I will continue to fight for the freedom of Tibetans and all minority groups.

Masked marchers representing the white nationalist and fascist group Patriot Front arrived in Washington, D.C. on Saturday amid celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. Part of the group was seen boarding the Eastern Market Metro stop heading toward the National Mall.

Today, I wrote with @SenWarren to four federal agencies for possible federal assistance following the sewage break into the Merrimack River. I will continue working closely with @MassGovernor and state and local officials to support the Merrimack Valley and the North Shore.

No answer is an answer. Both @RepMaxwellFrost & I wrote to ICE on their alleged “domestic terrorist” database used to track protestors and were sent different answers evading the truth. Surveilling Americans for lawfully protesting is unacceptable. ICE must answer our questions.
