“[To Overton:] Why didn't you correct the president at that moment so that the correct science was understood by American parents?

“The wrongful detainment of innocent civilians is never justifiable and should always be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
“Further escalation in the Saudi-Iran proxy war will worsen an already dire humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen and risks setting off a nuclear arms race between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
“The United States must not send thousands of conventional weapons to Saudi Arabia or allow it to develop a nuclear program. I am deeply concerned by the Kingdom's human rights abuses, the security of the region as the war in Iran rages on, and the proxy war that is escalating between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen.
“Tonight is a testament to the power of the progressive movement of our nation.
“Donald Trump brings out the Malden in me every day — and I fight him every day.
“Massachusetts needs a senator who stands up and fights back, a senator who never forgets who they are fighting for. There is a big blue wave coming to drown out all those red MAGA hats.
“I’m always the youngest guy in the room when it comes to new ideas.
“This is a pattern, not a slip. RFK Jr. has lied to the Senate, lied to the American people, and jeopardized the health of children to advance his anti-vaccine agenda. He should never have been confirmed, and he cannot be trusted to run [the US Department of Health and Human Services] for even one more day.
“New documents confirm what we already knew: RFK Jr. lied to Congress. He told us his Samoa trip had nothing to do with vaccines—now this letter shows that was false.
“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 dismantling of the social safety net. 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.
“This deal is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race.
“For generations, Massachusetts has been shaped by our immigrant communities. We have a moral duty to protect Haitian TPS holders and provide them with a permanent pathway to citizenship. Haitian TPS holders deserve the stability of preserving their status, the dignity to live without fear, and the security of not being returned to danger.
“This decision tears trans athletes from their teams and the sports they love. We will keep fighting.
“The campaign against Disney and its editorial decision-making, culminating in last week's early-renewal order, is an egregious abuse of power and a clear violation of the First Amendment.
“I'm glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn't be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can't simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.
“25th Amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war.
“This military attack is illegal and unconstitutional. Trump's illegal actions raise the threat of escalation into a wider regional war with grave risks for U.S. troops and civilians in the region.
