60 minutes

Please, read on and let us explain   Friend, this is a longer email, but it’s important. Over the weekend, 60 Minutes — the famed and storied CBS News broadcast — was set to air a segment about the 250 or so men that Trump sent to the CECOT torture camp in El Salvador without due process. …

I’m making my endorsement

We urgently need patriotic leaders like Ed   Hi friend, it’s Ken Burns. Massachusetts is truly the cradle of American democracy. 250 years ago, people of Massachusetts protested against British rule, put their lives on the line, and took up the cause of independence, from the Boston Tea P…

Imagine this.

What happened at Faneuli Hall is an outrage and a complete mockery of everything our country stands for   Friend, imagine this for a moment. You’re an immigrant who becomes a legal US resident, and spends years doing everything that’s required to eventually become a US citizen. You fill o…

Justice

I will not waver   Friend, today the DOJ is set to release what should be the majority of the Epstein files. As we await the moment that these files are made public, I want to reaffirm my unwavering pursuit of justice. Justice for the victims of Epstein’s crimes and the crimes of his assoc…

Ed Markey grills Trump’s FCC chair →

Trump doesn’t give a damn about free speech   Friend, for a long, long time, Republicans have pretended to be defenders of free speech. Yesterday, we learned again what we already knew: Trump doesn’t give a damn about free speech, and he is willing to use the power of the federal governmen…

Good and bad

  Friend — It’s the halfway point of the month, so Ed checked in with the campaign team earlier today about our progress towards our end-of-year FEC fundraising goal. We had both good news and bad. The bad news: We are well behind where we hoped to be at this point in the month. It may be b…

We’re looking for something different today

  Friend, as you know we are quickly approaching a huge FEC fundraising deadline at the end of the year. But instead of asking for your contribution today, we’re looking for something else. We want you to personally endorse Ed Markey’s campaign for reelection. If that’s all you need to hea…

Republicans voted to double your premiums

  Friend, on January 1st, 2026, over 20 million Americans will see their healthcare premiums double on average under Trump and the GOP’s new budget for the Affordable Care Act. We had an opportunity to stop that from happening this week in the Senate. I voted Yes to save Americans’ healthca…

We have to fight unapologetically   Friend, it’s Ed. I have some personal thoughts that I want to share with you today. I hope you’ll read to the end. Donald Trump and the Republicans' victory on election night last year was an obvious disaster for our nation. But what really made that nig…

RFK Jr. must go

He’s set public health in the US back by decades   Friend — RFK Jr. is a dangerous man. As Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, he has set public health in the US back by decades and put his unfounded conspiracies over the lives of his fellow Americans. We think RFK Jr. is a dis…

Two options

  Friend, tomorrow is a holiday, so we’ll try to keep this quick. We’re just four days away from our November fundraising deadline and we’re still way behind our goal. About $20,000 behind. So, we have two options: Option 1: We fall short of our fundraising goal and have to seriously scale…

A failing score I’m proud of
