I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Worcester FD Captain Jason Couture—a hero, mentor, and profound leader in our community. Lisa and I extend our condolences to his wife, family, and all those mourning his loss. May his legacy of selfless service be an example for us all to live by.

America deserves a refund from Trump’s illegal tariffs.
Trump promised to lower costs on day one.
It's day 401. He's done nothing to make life more affordable. Prices are going up while he gives his billionaire donors one tax break after another.
My statement on the lies—and the reality—of Trump's economy:
Total snooze fest. Nothing about lowering the cost of living. Nothing about making life more affordable. This guy lives in a bubble.
No one loves the sound of their own voice more than Donald Trump…
Trump spent more of his speech talking about Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, and Argentina than about lowering prices for families at home.
Tells you all you need to know about his priorities. So much for “America First.”
Trump replaced Maduro with his own Vice President. One dictator for a different dictator.
Not for the human rights or freedom of the Venezuelan people—but to benefit big oil companies who donated generously to him.
I think going to war with Iran is an awful, stupid, reckless idea. But if Trump wants to do it so bad, he should follow the Constitution and come to Congress to get authorization. If Republicans want a war so bad, they should at least have the guts to vote for it.
America right now...
His speech really is one big lie. It would make Kim Jong Un blush. And Republicans in Congress are like a cult. The economy sucks, he's telling everyone it's great, and they stand and applaud. It's insane.
This has me yearning for the days when the State of the Union was a written address…

Instead of addressing violence & crime, Trump has closed the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, cut $300M for community violence interruption, and legalized the sale of devices that turn semi-automatic weapons into machine guns.
He has chosen the gun lobby over American families. #StateoftheUnion
He’s been ranting and raving like a lunatic for an hour, yet not a word so far about Jeffrey Epstein—you know, the massive coverup that dwarfs Watergate—or why Donald Trump continues to protect his pedophile friends instead of seeking justice for survivors.
The only one trying to cheat is Donald Trump. He tried to steal the election on January 6th. And now, he’s lying about the so-called "SAVE America" Act. That bill is all about making it HARDER FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS TO REGISTER TO VOTE.
His family's wealth has gone up by BILLIONS since he took the presidency. He is the biggest crook in the history of the Republic.
💸A multi-million dollar luxury jumbo jet from Qatar—in exchange for God knows what.
💸Billions in investments from crypto scams.
💸Millions in donations for his ballroom from lobbyists and special interests.
Correct—Members of Congress shouldn’t trade stock.
Now let's talk about the billions in bribes & corrupt pay-to-play schemes Trump has solicited.
Reposted byRep. Jim McGovern
This BS about lowering costs is rich coming from the guy who kicked millions of Americans off their health insurance, spiked premiums for over 20 MILLION Americans, & called the concept of making life more affordable for working people, a ‘hoax.’
He cut Medicaid by a trillion dollars.
