Together, Bezos, Musk & Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom half of America. Billionaires are buying elections. And there's a greater concentration of ownership than at any time since the Gilded Age. Is that the society we want for our country?

We are moments away from a Senate vote on my Right to Contraception Act. Americans will remember who took action to protect their reproductive rights. They will remember who voted yes.

Dear GOP candidates: right now we tax the first $150k of everyone’s earnings which goes to SS. But we don’t tax what people make after that—that’s why a cop and a firefighter pay on every dollar and a hedge fund guy doesn’t. If you fix that it could extend solvency.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the cultures, traditions, and resilience of Native communities across Massachusetts and our country. We also confront America’s painful legacy of violence, displacement and assimilation. Together, we must continue our work to right centuries of wrongs.

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.

Let's be clear: One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be making decisions about a woman's body.

If I could pass one law today to reduce gun violence- I would federalize Massachusetts state gun laws that have resulted in this state having the lowest gun death rate in the country. If every state had the same gun death rate, we could cut gun deaths 70%

Too often, rural communities have been left out of conversations happening on Beacon Hill. We want to change that. Ā  We’re announcing the creation of a Director of Rural Affairs. For the first time in history, we’re dedicating staff to the unique needs of our 181 rural towns.

You know, every time I hear someone suggest raising the Social Security retirement age, I think: there’s someone who didn’t work construction all their life. Who didn’t carry little kids around as a preschool teacher. Who didn’t help patients in and out of beds as a nurse.

Public safety does not begin with policing. Public safety begins with investments in community. Until we're investing in a living wage, health care, after school programs & violence interrupters, we're not having a serious conversation about reducing crime. We’re dog whistling.
