Ed Markey

Today’s unanimous committee passage of my Youth AI Privacy Act is a huge step forward for protecting kids’ privacy and safety in the age of AI,” said Senator Markey. “This vote demonstrates bipartisan support for robust privacy safeguards…

I am praying for Robert and his family today.

We must also never forget that there are still more than five other Americans detained in Russia. I urge the Trump administration to use Robert’s case as motivation to continue to advocate for the release of others wrongfully detained in…

Airline crew members and passengers have the right to breathe safe, clean air, on the ground and in the air.

We urge the Department to withdraw this proposed rule, ensure that the federal government upholds the civil rights of all students, and work to ensure all students can attend schools that are not segregated.

While the rule claims to offer ‘flexibility’ in desegregation compliance efforts, the Administration’s actions reveal that its goal is to throw away the umbrella, not find a raincoat instead.

As with other efforts to erode federal civil rights oversight and enforcement, ED’s proposed rule is ‘like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.’

I urge the Trump administration to use Robert’s case as motivation to continue to advocate for the release of others wrongfully detained in Russia and around the world.

While this news is deeply welcomed, it is long overdue. It is a tragedy that it took Robert’s near-death condition for his case to receive the attention that it required for his release to be negotiated.

Over the past two years, my office has been working closely with the family of Robert Gilman – a Massachusetts resident and former Marine who has been wrongfully detained in Russia on questionable charges for 1,666 days.

I will continue fighting for my Health Over Wealth Act and to get private equity out of health care.

As energy costs rise and market power becomes increasingly concentrated, FERC must use its authority to protect consumers from transactions that threaten competition, affordability, and reliability. It should do so here and deny the…

FERC has a statutory obligation to ensure that consolidation in the energy sector serves the public interest, not corporate profits. It is impossible to see how this consolidation will not put the public interest at risk.

Corporate consolidation is sweeping the energy sector, concentrating unprecedented market power in a shrinking number of companies and threatening to drive already-high electricity costs even higher. NextEra Energy’s proposed acquisition…

The agency should also address the thousands of potential toxins already used that the GRAS loophole has rubberstamped since its creation.

In addition to mandatory notification of use outlined in this rule, the FDA should be using strong, science-based standards to independently review every chemical proposed for use in our food.

The FDA is correct in its recognition that the GRAS rule is flawed and overdue for correction, but this proposed rule will not protect families from exposure to dangerous food chemicals.

It’s unacceptable. But we can and will fight back. The FCC will be accepting comments for the next few months, and they need to hear what E-Rate means in your school, library, and community. Submit comments. Share the numbers. Tell the…

I am also seeking information related to ICE’s harmful, nontransparent operation of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (“ISAP”)—an alternative to detention program—in the Commonwealth.

I’m proud to have voted against more of Donald Trump’s nominees and agenda than any other Senator, and I won’t stop fighting him with every tool there is.

I will not give a nickel to an authoritarian who is handing over our government to billionaire and corporate interests that have raised the cost of living so high that human rights become commodities that working families cannot afford.

Voting for this Continuing Resolution would be signing a check for President Trump to continue his illegal, reckless agenda, including ICE raids, an unwinnable war in Iran, threats to interfere in our elections this fall, and the…

I will fight to extend these same protections to TPS holders from Syria, Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, Sudan, and every other community that has been forced to seek safety in the United States.

ICE claimed that a ‘statistical reporting hold’ blocked it from identifying the number of individuals processed at the field office in 2025 who committed violent crimes.

The Trump administration must be held accountable for its attacks on our immigrant neighbors.
