Heartbroken by the loss of the great Dolores Huerta. She spent her life speaking truth to power, fighting for the rights of migrant workers, women, and all those standing against oppression. We must honor her legacy and continue her fight for justice. May she rest in power.

Trump wants to build more dirty, expensive gas to power massive data centers, and he’s turned the EPA into Every Polluter’s Ally to make this wish come true. No more of this corrupt administration bowing to fossil fuel CEOs at the expense of working people. https://t.co/4mMv09Wqlx

💬 38🔁 10❤ 18Oct 28, 2026

After 8 months, Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war in Iran has cost Americans almost $50 billion so far. With oil and gas costs, the total is almost $200 billion. Families should not be paying for a war they never approved and do not support. End this disaster now. https://t.co/FlDv72ILuh

💬 55🔁 4❤ 18Oct 28, 2026

Workers paid 9% more for their family's health insurance this year, with annual premiums of almost $7.5k. At a time when costs are growing faster than wages, Trump and MAGA Republicans are putting their billionaire friends ahead of Massachusetts families.

💬 619🔁 18❤ 62Oct 22, 2026

Rubio has made a mockery of his position by politicizing his responsibility to the U.S.'s national security and diplomatic efforts. The individuals chosen to serve our country as diplomats swear an oath to the Constitution not political loyalty to a wannabe king. https://t.co/OuLqouPLlY

💬 62🔁 10❤ 49Oct 22, 2026

The Trump admin is playing games instead of prioritizing robust resources that small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country rely on. I'm fighting alongside @afgenational to demand transparency from Trump’s @SBAgov and to ensure Main Street can grow and thrive. https://t.co/0U19abMSeO

💬 14🔁 1❤ 20Oct 22, 2026

There must be an independent federal investigation of the Burlington ICE facility. I have seen the conditions myself and am deeply disturbed by reports of detainees, including pregnant women, being denied the treatment they need. https://t.co/iY1PiISjH4

💬 234🔁 28❤ 59Oct 21, 2026

SCOTUS made the right decision today rejecting the Trump administration’s effort to withhold essential medical care from trans people behind bars. Healthcare is a human right. https://t.co/BQjeyjOrlm

💬 23🔁 4❤ 32Oct 21, 2026

Disgusting. We need to pass my No Robot Bosses and Stop Spying Bosses Acts now to put an end to this weaponized surveillance and union-busting by machine.

💬 13🔁 33❤ 162Oct 20, 2026

I’m glad the U.S. government is now warning travelers that they are at risk of wrongful detention if traveling to China. I continue to urge the immediate release of wrongfully detained U.S. citizens Youlin Chen and Min Zen. https://t.co/vrR3CGi4cQ

How these are counted

Attendance is the share of roll calls held while the member was in office on which they voted Yea, Nay or Present. A party-line vote is a roll call on which a majority of Republicans voted against a majority of Democrats. Voting with the Democratic majority is the share of the member’s cast votes on those roll calls that matched that majority. The roll calls come from Voteview, which compiles each vote from the official record; Votewiser does the counting.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 907 of the Senate’s 915 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (8): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. Nominations are their own issue. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with. The Senate roll calls come from Voteview; Votewiser does the counting.
