Workers over billionaires. People over profits. This Labor Day: Massachusetts says no more attacks on workers’ rights.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Thank you Association of Flight Attendants-CWA President Sara Nelson for marching with me in Boston this Labor Day. Let’s show Donald Trump and the rest of the country that workers won’t back down in the face of his attacks.

Trump and RFK Jr. hand picked Susan Monarez to lead the CDC. Now, they are trying to force her out for refusing to rubber stamp their anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. This administration is so hellbent on killing people that even their own nominees are saying no. It must end.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.

Bill Keating always puts the working families of the 9th Congressional District first and delivers for their health, safety, and prosperity every day. I am proud to be his partner in the United States Senate and honored to have his endorsement.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Public transit should be free. I took a ride on the Orange line to talk to riders about how we can keep more money in your pocket. Boston is leading the way. And @ayannapressley.bsky.social and I won’t stop fighting to make this dream a reality.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Donald Trump wants the city of Boston to bow down to his dream of absolute power. Yesterday, we came together to say we will not bow down. We will not be bullied. And we have never and will never let a king rule in Boston.

Instead of Solar for All—Donald Trump wants higher costs for all. This is just the latest MAGA heist that will drive energy costs up and keep everyday Americans beholden to Trump’s Big Oil buddies.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Donald Trump refused to call in the national guard on January 6th.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
From access to public transportation to managing climate impacts, to spurring economic growth, and strengthening maritime and artistic traditions, these leaders are tackling the most challenging issues of our time. I am proud to receive their endorsement.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill takes $1,200 from the lowest-income people in society while showering thousands of dollars on top earners with new tax breaks. It’s shameful. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-t...
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Trump didn’t call the National Guard when insurrectionists attacked the Capitol. Now he’s deploying them to enforce his cruel anti-homeless agenda in D.C. We need housing and dignity—not militarized streets.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
I’m honored to receive the endorsement of these Western Mass leaders. Together, we've been able to provide funding for childcare and schools, transportation, clean energy, community health centers, housing projects and more. I look forward to our continued partnership.

Supporting small businesses never tasted so sweet. Stopped by Ron’s Ice Cream in Hyde Park to uplift a pillar of the neighborhood. When we invest in small businesses, we invest in our communities.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
When we lower dangerous emissions, we can lower energy costs and ensure clean air. Boston is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and our Green New Deal Mayor is facing it head on. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/04/s...
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Data doesn’t lie but Trump does. This is authoritarianism. This is what dictators do.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Thank you to my friend @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social for your endorsement and unwavering partnership. From hunger to health care to human rights—we fight side by side for the people of Massachusetts.

Trump and Zeldin are trying to take away the government’s most powerful tool to stop corporate polluters and take climate action. www.npr.org/2025/07/29/n...
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Boston’s families are represented by the brightest, hardest-working, most effective leaders in the country, and my job is to fight for their vision and values in the U.S. Senate. I’m honored to have their endorsement for re-election.

The Associated Press reports the truth. Trump hates the truth. That’s why he’s hiding the Epstein files.

The people of Stow, Massachusetts have spoken: a town can go from a Dunkin’ desert to becoming Dunkin’ itself for a day. That’s what I call progress.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
When you have nothing to hide so you shut down half of congress to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Days after Colbert called out Paramount’s $16 million Trump settlement, CBS cancels his show. Did the Trump administration pressure CBS to make this decision? I wrote to Paramount today asking that question. We need answers.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Honored to have Lori Trahan’s support and the backing of 24 local leaders in the Third District. We’ve stood together in crisis, and we’re fighting together for working families. Let’s keep going.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Mayor Wu is leading Boston toward a livable, green-powered future—with fare-free transit, climate resilience, and green jobs that work for working people. I’m proud to endorse her re-election. Let’s keep going.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
I’m honored to have the endorsement of my friend—and Dean of the Massachusetts delegation—Congressman Richie Neal. He is a powerful champion for Central and Western Mass. I’m grateful for his partnership as we work to make this region a vibrant place to live, work, and play.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
It’s official. Republicans just voted to rip health care away from millions of Americans to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Abandon this bill.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
While republicans eviscerate the programs that help prevent poverty, they are taking that money to give to billionaires. www.livenowfox.com/news/worlds-...
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Big Oil has been getting tax breaks for more than a century. Trump’s big billionaire bill doesn’t just cut clean energy incentives, it RAISES TAXES on wind and solar. It’s a job killer, a planet killer, and an economy killer.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Call your gramma. Call your neighbor. Call your friends. Call your rep. Republicans Big Ugly Bill now includes a $1 TRILLION cut to Medicaid. Just when you think they can’t get any more cruel.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Republicans are killing wind and solar while giving new tax breaks for coal. Our utility bills will go up, pollution will increase, and our climate will be compromised. Now is the time to make your voices heard.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Millions of students from low-income and rural areas can compete becasue they have internet access at schools and libraries thanks to my E-rate law. Today, that was reaffirmed as the law of the land.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
To every LGBTQ+ kid watching the Supreme Court erase your stories from the classroom today: I’m sorry. You deserve to see yourself in the world and in the books you read. This campaign of censorship and cruelty will not win. We’re not backing down.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Donald Trump’s authoritarianism is being aided and abetted by a Supreme Court packed with right-wing extremists. Today’s ruling in the birthright citizenship case means just one thing—none of our rights are safe from this administration’s attacks. We must not be silent.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
I'm proud to receive the endorsement of IBEW Local 103 and Lou Antonellis who are at the heart of the clean energy revolution built by and for union workers. I'm honored to partner with them in this fight for better wages and benefits, green union jobs, and a brighter future for all.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
.@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social is a champion for working families, and she is fighting every day to stop Donald Trump’s corrupt takeover of our government. She knows how to defend our values in Massachusetts, and I am proud to have her endorsement for my reelection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZbZ...

It’s 100 degrees today in Washington DC but we came together with @seiu.org to say NO cuts to Medicaid.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
The climate crisis is here. Record broken. After record broken. After record broken. We can’t let Trump dismantle climate action.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Unconscionable. The Trump administration is forcing people back into violence and persecution—the very horrors they risked everything to flee. This isn’t immigration policy. It’s cruelty by design.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Yesterday I joined @maindivisible.bsky.social to say: No kings. No dictators. No going back. Together we march for trans rights, lgbtq+ joy, and the protection of democracy. Pride is protest—and Massachusetts has always and will continue to lead the fight.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
At Boston Pride today, our joy is not just celebration—it’s defiance. When the Trump administration threatens us, we meet him with power, protest, and pride. No kings. No fear. No backing down. This is what resistance looks like. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Trump’s budget threatens to dismantle the momentum of economic growth and job security we worked hard to establish. We must protect our climate and our economy.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Trump’s budget is a giveaway to Big Oil and billionaires—paid for by slashing Medicaid, food assistance, and climate resilience. It’s control disguised as policy. I’m standing with @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social to say: No Deal for Big Oil Billionaires.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Today, a federal court in Boston will hear Harvard's case against Trump’s attacks on its international students. We must defend our students, our educators, and our values.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Trump and Noem are targeting Harvard because it refuses to back down in the face of their authoritarian demands. We cannot be silent.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Want to know why Republicans are voting on their Big Billionaire Bailout in the middle of the night? MSNBC just reported that it includes a $500 Billion dollar cut to Medicare.

Elon Musk and DOGE are lying about Social Security fraud. They proved so themselves.

As Mother’s Day comes to a close I am reflecting on my mother—who not only raised my brothers and I—but her younger sisters as well. To moms every where: thank you for the work you do that so often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. You keep our world running. Happy Mother’s Day.

We have a long fight ahead to protect the first amendment. Today was an important step. Welcome back, Rümeysa.

Long overdue. Rümeysa, I look forward to welcoming you home to Somerville.

Teachers deserve more than appreciation—they deserve action. From budget cuts to book bans, and the assault on our Dept. of Education, educators are hurting. On #TeacherAppreciationDay, I’m not just thanking teachers—I’m fighting for them.

Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social for making it clear. Republicans are attacking public broadcasting. We need to fight to save it.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
The admin’s attacks on public broadcasting are more traumatizing than that time when Arthur cut his knee on a rusty lima bean can.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Millions of Americans, including our children, rely on public broadcasting for news, education, and entertainment. Trump wants to cut them off. Unacceptable.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
The Trump admin has arrested a judge in Milwaukee. This is a red alert moment. We must all rise up against it.

Massachusetts will never back down in the face of Trump and Musk's illegal, hateful attacks.

Today we came together in Newton to tell Donald Trump and Elon Musk that Massachusetts won’t back down in the face of authoritarianism. We will resist.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
We've all seen the footage of Rumeysa Ozturk's lawless abduction by ICE. This is authoritarianism. And we need to call it out together:
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
This is the right-wing playbook: Undermine the law. Call your critics crazy. Repeat. That’s why we need to call out authoritarianism and fight back.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
I am in solidarity with primary care physicians @doctorscouncilseiu.bsky.social as they exercise their right to organize a union. Physician working conditions are patient care conditions. I urge all parties to come to the table and bargain in good faith.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Get serious. Seniors contributed to Social Security their entire lives. Now Republicans want to take it away. Whether it’s Secretary Lutnick or Elon Musk—Trump’s ultra-wealthy cabinet is hyper-focused on making sure Gramma and Grampa’s cabinets stay empty.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
I am in solidarity with the Clark University Undergraduate Workers as they exercise their right to organize a union. Young people are 25% of our population, but 100% of our future.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
I’m voting no because Trump and Musk don’t want just a shutdown. They want us to stand down in our fight to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and the social safety net.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
The GOP and Trump continuing resolution can be summed up like this: The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and Trump and Musk get a free pass to continue their damage. I’m a NO. We must fight their attacks on working families.
Ed Markey (@edmarkey.bsky.social)
Yesterday, I joined the Massachusetts Building Trades Union Convention in Springfield. Workers are under attack by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Republican enablers. We are fighting back.
