Trump is continuing his crusade of erasure at our parks. This time, removing films that tell the history of women and immigrant labor organizing against terrible conditions at the Lowell Mills. Trump cannot erase the truth. Watch one of the films now on my YouTube: youtu.be/PhfN-c_Qv3o

Last year, the Trump admin unjustifiably shuttered the Springfield @SBAgov branch office, leaving entrepreneurs in western Mass hours away from in-person services and community partners in the lurch. I’m working with @warren.senate.gov, @neal.house.gov, and @repmcgovern.bsky.social to get answers.
I’ve secured more than $100 million dollars for 85 community projects across our Commonwealth this year. Check out my investments map to learn more about the money coming to our communities. www.markey.senate.gov/map
Screenshot of headline that reads, "Trump’s war aim: Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender.’ The president's message — coming after days of mixed signals from administration officials — articulates that the U.S. has no intention of providing Tehran with an off-ramp." Full text linked in reply.
Trump’s call for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” is just a road to endless war. We need an immediate ceasefire, not excuses to keep fighting. Trump is increasing the danger that he will send ground troops into Iran. We need diplomacy before this becomes a disaster.

Electricity rates are spiking as AI data centers pop up across the country. Households and small businesses should not be made to subsidize data centers while they already struggle to get by. Our nation's public utility commissions set household rates--they can act now.

I’m calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.
Screenshot of post reading: Welp: ZERO takers on the Trump administration's first lease sale for oil and gas development in the Cook Inlet, Alaska. Bidding closed today with no bids. The lease sale was supposed to spark new interest in oil and gas development in the region. It doesn't seem to be working.
Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill to force the government to attempt to sell our lands and waters to fossil fuel companies.
The first sale off the coast of Alaska got ZERO bids: no one wants their fossil fuel fantasies.
Trump—cut your losses and leave our lands alone.
It’s clear: Trump’s tariff taxes are killing jobs and putting real pain on Main Street. America’s small businesses, consumers, and communities cannot wait. The Trump admin must deliver tariff refunds now.
Screenshot of 404 Media headline reading: CBP Tapped Into the Online Advertising Ecosystem To Track Peoples’ Movements An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. ICE has bought access to similar tools.
ICE and CBP are buying your location information from data brokers. These frictionless, on-demand surveillance tactics are unacceptable. My colleagues and I are demanding answers.
I'm proud to have moved several of my bills and priorities as part of this week’s Weather Act and NASA authorization bills, including provisions to fight extreme heat, support weather forecasting, and support astrophysics research. America can lead on safety and smarts.
Screenshot of article, full text reads, "Senators passed the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act on Thursday, clearing a bill that creates stronger data protections for teens. The bill, commonly referred to as COPPA 2.0, updates the original 1998 legislation to extend privacy protections from people under the age of 13 to people under 17. It creates restrictions on how companies use minors’ data and bans targeting ads to kids. It passed with unanimous consent Thursday following remarks from co-sponsor Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) “Passing COPPA 2.0 today would represent the single most significant update to children’s online privacy protections in a quarter of a century. It’s long overdue,” Markey said. The Senate bill passed as the House Energy and Commerce Committee marked up a package of children’s safety and privacy bills, including COPPA 2.0’s counterpart. Markey criticized the House version as a “weaker, partisan version” of the Senate version."
The Senate's unanimous and bipartisan passage of COPPA 2.0 is a major milestone in the fight to protect children and teens online. I'm ready to work with my colleagues in the House to pass COPPA 2.0 into law. Let's get this done.
Federal SBIR program to fund tech companies is ‘back on track’ after senators Markey and Ernst reach a truce The House still needs to approve it as well, but the clash in the Senate was considered the biggest obstacle. By Jon Chesto Globe Staff,Updated March 4, 2026, 5:33 p.m.
Massachusetts small businesses are leaders in emerging tech like clean energy and life sciences. The SBIR program is critical to our innovation economy.
We must continue to empower our most capable and competitive small businesses to keep innovating.

Trump is throwing your taxpayer dollars at an illegal war abroad, while you spend more for gasoline here at home.
politico: Johnson: Congress will pass Iran war funding when ‘appropriate’ Lawmakers expect Trump will seek emergency funding. Meredith Lee Hill Meredith Lee Hill 03/04/2026, 10:10am ET
We are spending a billion dollars a day on this illegal, reckless war. This is taxpayer money that should be going to healthcare and education. Now, Trump wants $50 billion more for a war that Congress has not authorized. Outrageous. No way.
Emmanuel Damas was a Haitian asylum seeker living in Massachusetts. His death in ICE custody is a terrible tragedy. I’ve been working with his family to uncover the truth. We must demand full accountability from ICE for his death.
BREAKING: COPPA 2.0 just passed the Senate by unanimous consent. This marks a tremendous victory in my decades long fight for children and teens’ online privacy. Now, the House must do the same.

My Statement on Voting to Oppose Trump's Illegal War in Iran.
Outraged by the State Dept's unreadiness for evacuating Americans from the Middle East.
This is a crisis of Trump's making. No plan for attacking Iran. And no plan for evacuating Americans.
This isn't a natural disaster—it's a man-made one. And the man responsible is Trump.
