Selling more weapons to Saudi Arabia doesn't make America safer or align with our country's values. It only benefits defense contractors and @realDonaldTrump's alarming desire to sow chaos abroad. l'll do everything I can in Congress to stop it.
.@realDonaldTrump wants to keep selling American weapons to his Saudi buddies. But he knows Congress won't approve selling to a regime that's bombed thousands of Yemeni civilians and murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi – so he's trying to go around us.
This is a despicable act of cowardice. This vandalism is meant to divide us – but I know it only strengthens the resolve of the people of Dorchester and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Last week, @SenatorMenendez, @NydiaVelazquez & I questioned @FEMA about the delays. Now, the agency has confirmed the hospital on Vieques will be rebuilt. It's a critical win for the people of Puerto Rico – and we’ll be with them every step of the way.
For nearly 2 years, 9,000 US citizens living on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico haven't had access to a local hospital. Theirs was destroyed in Hurricane Maria, and despite promises to rebuild, @FEMA kept delaying the project.
Last night, I voted for a major bipartisan disaster relief package that will help people across the country recover from natural disasters like hurricanes, flooding, and wildfires. When we work together, our nation comes out on top.
I'm proud to cosponsor the Women’s Health Protection Act. It would #StopTheBans by enshrining Roe v. Wade into federal law – ensuring everyone in this country has access to abortion, no matter where they live. #ActForWomen
I was wrong. It's not 5 children dead – it's SIX. The Trump Admin just disclosed a 10-yr-old girl died in federal custody last year.
Are there more we don't know about? We need oversight. We need accountability. We need to do everything we can to keep this from happening again.
I stand with @AOC, @forrespect, and the 250,000 workers who lost jobs and severance pay when Wall Street fat cats @StevenMnuchin1 and Eddie Lampert gutted companies like @Sears. Together, we'll keep fighting for justice, accountability, and better futures for all.

.@forrespect has empowered workers around the nation to fight for an economy that allows us to work in dignity. Meet some of the @Sears workers who @senwarren and I are supporting today:
Washington is supposed to work for everyone. Instead, the rich & powerful like @StevenMnuchin1 & Eddie Lampert use it to become even more rich & powerful, while workers are left holding the bag. This is the DC swamp at its worst.
Steven Mnuchin and his college roommate Eddie Lampert (the CEO of Sears) piled the company with debt, closed thousands of stores, and enriched themselves at the expense of workers. Now, @StevenMnuchin1 could have a say in decisions affecting @Sears.
Before @StevenMnuchin1 became Treasury Secretary, he was on the board of @Sears, where he helped gut the company and fire thousands of employees. Now, @AOC and I have some tough questions for him.
It's been 48 days since the Violence Against Women Act passed the House. But @SenateMajLdr McConnell would rather help his @NRA buddies than bring #VAWA to the floor. This is ridiculous. Women's lives are more important than gun lobbyists' wish lists.
Two more immigrant children died over the past week after having been in @CBP custody. That’s five deaths in the past six months. It’s appalling. CBP owes the American people an explanation for these children’s deaths and its failure to keep them safe.
