Donald Trump doesn’t care about how much you’re paying at the pump—he’s too busy fighting an unconstitutional, illegal war in Iran.

This war must end.

This decision is a step in the right direction. But we can’t stop here. In the Senate, I’ll keep fighting for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Who’s going to pay the price for Trump’s LNG export plan?

American families—and the only ones winning are Trump-loving fossil fuel corporations.

Screenshot of MassLive headline reading: Western Mass. pols rally for Markey

Elected leaders from across Western Mass say they’re backing U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass, for reelection.

Holyoke Mayor Joshua Garcia, Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno, and Chicopee Mayor John Vieau — along with city councilors and school committee members from across the four cities — are backing the Malden pol, who’s in a three-way September primary fight. 

Markey has “consistently delivered for Springfield — supporting federal investments that strengthen our infrastructure, grow our economy and create opportunity for our residents,” Sarno said in a statement released by Markey’s reelection campaign.

Great to be in Holyoke today with Mayor Josh Garcia talking with voters across Western Mass.

Families are working harder than ever but still getting squeezed by rising costs while powerful interests rig the system.

I’ll keep fighting for working people and to defend our democracy.

92K jobs lost in February.

Unemployment rate rose to 4.4%.

Groceries cost more.

Gas costs more.

Health care costs more.

That’s the reality of Trump's “Golden Age” economy.

Donald Trump just fired Kristi Noem but this fight is far from over.

Steven Miller.

They ALL must go alongside their murderous agenda.

I just voted to end the illegal war with Iran. Republicans blocked it. We have to keep fighting tooth and nail to prevent this from becoming another endless war in the Middle East.

Trump is ‘waging an illegal war, and he has no plan to end it,’ Senator Markey says

Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey said Tuesday that President Trump’s war on Iran “must end now,” calling the offensive illegal and based on bald lies to the American people.

“I just left a classified briefing on Iran,” said Markey, a Malden Democrat, in a video message posted to X shortly after 8 p.m. “And it only confirmed what we already knew. Donald Trump is waging an illegal war, and he has no plan to end it.”

“Today, he said we attacked Iran because he had a feeling,” Markey said, an apparent reference to the president’s comment that he believed Iran was going to attack first. “But we know the truth. Trump is lying about Iran’s nuclear capacity. He’s lying about Iran’s missile capabilities.”

Donald Trump is waging an illegal war with Iran based on lies, and American servicemembers have already lost their lives because of it. We need to end this war now.

AFA-CWA Endorses Ed Markey

“AFA is proud to endorse Senator Markey for reelection. This endorsement of Ed Markey by our Flight Attendant union is also a personal one for me,” said Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO. “I’ll never forget standing in the middle of our crisis room at the Hilton Logan in the wake of 9/11, grieving the loss of people I love and trying to make sense of our new world, when Ed walked in without fanfare to listen, grieve with us, and commit to Never Forget. He fights every day like our pain is his pain. He demands results because real people fuel his fight. He fought with that same conviction to secure the historic worker’s first relief during COVID that kept two million aviation workers connected to our paychecks and healthcare while capping executive pay and banning stock buybacks. Ed Markey fights for the working class and the people who need a champion. He stands with us. And we stand with him.”

Grateful to earn the endorsement of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA and my good friend, @flyingwithsara.bsky.social. The @afacwa.org organizes, fights, and wins. Together, we'll keep fighting for aviation workers and their families across Massachusetts and the nation.

“We don't believe that there's anything to hide when it comes to American history.”

Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey has long been involved in the issue. Last summer, he joined Black history experts for a walking tour of Boston’s historic sites. 

“I’m animated by the history that Massachusetts created, and I feel a responsibility to protect and to further educate our country,” he said. “Censoring history is an act of violence.”

Markey called the lawsuit the “highest form of patriotism.” 

“MAGA supporters are not just trying to rewrite policy. They are attempting to rewrite the truth, and we must stand up,” he said. “If we don’t learn from the struggles that is the movements of our past, we will repeat the same mistakes over and over again.”

Donald Trump is trying to rewrite history—but we won't let him. No more violent censorship of our past.
