Last night, I signed the discharge petition led by Rep. Thomas Massie and @khanna.house.gov to force a House vote on legislation to release the Epstein files. The survivors and the American public deserve the truth.
Today, we heard powerful testimony from survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.   I will continue to fight with my colleagues to ensure that these women receive justice and those involved are held accountable.
There are 138,053 #SocialSecurity recipients in the Eighth Congressional District of Massachusetts! Today marks the 90th Anniversary of FDR signing Social Security into law, which provides tens of millions of working Americans an earned, guaranteed safety net every year.
It was a pleasure to celebrate this milestone alongside CEO Bill Halpin and the SBCHC team as well as State Senator Nick Collins, State Rep. David Biele, City Councilors Ed Flynn and Erin Murphy and Andrew Colameta of Sterling Construction.
Proud that we were able to secure $2 million in Federal Community Project funding to support this major investment in community health. This expansion will allow SBCHC to continue delivering compassionate, high-quality care to even more children, seniors and families.
 I joined nearly 100 of my Democratic colleagues in demanding transparency and accountability from the Trump Administration on its decision to award a $30 million contract for food distribution in Gaza to a private organization with no prior humanitarian aid experience.
With the United Nations reporting that a worst-case famine scenario has already developed in Gaza, we must make every effort to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid to the more than two million people who are facing critical levels of hunger.
Town Administrator Tom Mayo, Select Board Chair Bill Ramsey, Members Julie Strehle and Liz Klein, Bob Garrity and the Public Safety Building Committee, Police Chief David Jones, and Fire Chief Steven Murphy, our first responders, and the residents who worked to bring this project to life.
This state-of-the-art building was supported with local, state and federal funding and will serve as the new home for the Hingham Police and Fire Departments, enhancing public safety not only for Hingham, but for the entire South Shore. I am proud to celebrate this milestone alongside
Special shoutout to all the Braintree American Little League players and coaches as they continue to compete in the New England Regionals in Bristol, Connecticut! It was great watching you represent our state on ESPN today! On to Williamsport!🇺🇸
For 60 years, Medicare and Medicaid have been a lifeline for seniors, families, veterans, and people with disabilities. I will continue to fight alongside my fellow Democratic colleagues to protect Medicare and Medicaid.
My thanks to Plymouth County Treasurer Tom O’Brien, Commissioners Jared Valanzola, Greg Hanley and Sandra Wright for their great work as well as Senator Patrick O'Connor and Rep. Joan Meschino for their leadership and support. We are all grateful to Town Administrator Tom Mayo for a job well done.
My thanks to Chair Bill Ramsey, and members Julie Strehle and Liz Klein of the Hingham Select Board for allowing me to attend their meeting last night, and to join my colleagues in presenting the Town of Hingham with a Federal ARPA payment of $221,717.
This will result in the needless deaths of our young people, our neighbors and others in the LGBTQI+ community who are already in crisis. If you or someone you know needs support, please know that there are still resources available and allies who are willing and eager to help.
