Building West-East rail is a once-in a-lifetime investment to connect Massachusetts’ communities and our regional economies like never before. It will mean lower costs, less congestion, and access to opportunity for families across the…

But cutting E-Rate is not a child-safety measure. E-Rate funds broadband connectivity — not laptops, tablets, applications, or online content.

Cutting E-Rate would narrow that talent pipeline. Maintaining connectivity in every school and library is therefore an investment in America’s technological leadership, economic competitiveness, and national security.

Schools and libraries help develop the next generation of engineers, scientists, and cybersecurity professionals, including in communities that have historically lacked access to those opportunities.

“We agree that permitting should be efficient, predictable, and capable of supporting the infrastructure our country needs. But faster permitting should not come at the expense of transparency or communities’ ability to shape the decisions…

We must recommit to bring about lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians, ensuring self-determination, peace, and freedom for all.

Three years into the brutality of the war in Gaza, we must stop the bombing, end this conflict, and usher in much-needed humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The Fossil Free Finance Act would require our financial institutions, including banks, to protect Americans’ savings, investments, and our economy by addressing the threats posed by climate change. We need to put the planet over profit and…

Our economy and global financial systems have a codependent relationship with the fossil fuel industry. We cannot wait for big banks to address the very climate crisis they are financing if we are serious about reducing greenhouse gas…

“I’m still reviewing text of this proposal, and I will be looking closely at the details. Building transmission is important. It’s also important not to lock in more fossil fuels and lock out communities.”

“Data center developers are hijacking our energy grid and using ratepayers to subsidize their profit-making operations, while also polluting air and water in surrounding communities.

“The Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill and the Trump administration’s illegal actions to block clean energy projects and rescind grants have killed tens of thousands of megawatts of clean power, stopped creation of union jobs, raised costs for…

“I’m never going to ignore that Trump’s attacks on American-made clean energy fueled the energy crisis we’re in now—not to mention his boosterism of power-hungry data centers—all of which have been enabled by Republicans in Congress.

Instead of subverting the EPA to Big Tech’s control, Trump and Zeldin should act in the interest of the American people and hold accountable the industries they are obligated to regulate.

75% of Americans do not want a data center in their backyard, yet Trump’s EPA has chosen to facilitate data center construction at the expense of our health, our pocketbooks, and our bedrock environmental laws.

Trump’s economic and foreign policy crises are already leaving families underwater from rising gas prices—and by attacking fuel economy standards, he’s also setting fire to the lifeboat.

For National Recovery Month, we celebrate those working to achieve and maintain recovery from addiction, and everyone who helped them along the way. Especially as families struggle to get ahead, it’s more important than ever that we help…

Facial recognition and other biometric technologies in the hands of government agencies have become tools of authoritarianism.

“We need the Cybersecurity and AI Board of Investigations to get to the bottom of major incidents and give companies and the government the critical information necessary to build resilience and better secure our economy and our country.”

“Building stronger defenses requires a full accounting of what goes wrong, and we cannot depend on companies with little incentive to disclose their failures to give us one.”

“Despite the unprecedented depth and scale of recent AI-enabled cyber attacks, the public is learning critical details piecemeal,”

As Americans face frequent extreme weather disasters, a job market disrupted by the expansion of artificial intelligence, and other economic challenges, the Civilian Climate Corps presents an opportunity to support meaningful job…
