Americans don't want a war with Iran. We want lower prices, better health care, more jobs, and affordable housing.
We want leaders who are on OUR side—not the billionaire Epstein-class!
Hey Sterling—let’s grab coffee this Saturday! All are welcome.
🏛️ Sterling Senior Center, 36 Muddy Pond Road, Sterling, MA 01564
🗓️ Saturday, February 21, 2026
🕰️ 9:30AM- 10:30AM
Record high grocery prices. Skyrocketing health insurance premiums. Soaring housing & utility costs. Does that sound like “victory” to you?!
Shockingly, the Epstein-class billionaire sitting in the White House couldn’t be more out of touch.
It’s disgusting that any person—much less a sitting member of the United States Congress—espouses such vitriolic hate & bigotry.
Congressman Fine—You’re a disgrace to this country & the office you hold. Resign.
Tonight, as we mark the first night of Ramadan, I want to wish a blessed month full of peace, hope, prayer, and reflection to all those celebrating in Massachusetts and around the world.
This is straight out of the dictator’s playbook. If the government doesn’t like what you say, they’ll put you on a list & monitor your every move.
Trump knows people hate his billionaires-first agenda—that’s why he’s silencing the opposition & making it harder for folks to vote.
Shame on CBS for helping the White House undermine free speech.
Huge thanks to Growing Places Regional Food Center for hosting the 4th stop of my statewide #EndHungerNow Tour in Gardner with @trahan.house.gov. They’re working hard to provide low income families in North Central Massachusetts with fresh, local produce.
Jesse Jackson was a tireless advocate for civil rights & justice—fighting for decades to build a more humane America where all folks are treated with dignity & respect. His lifetime of service leaves an enduring legacy from which we all can learn.
For 6 decades, we've had a comprehensive trade embargo against Cuba. And for 6 decades, that embargo has failed in its strategic objectives.
It's time to pivot. My new bill would turn the page on the failed status quo—harnessing diplomacy & engagement to promote democracy & freedom.
Republicans own this shutdown. They would rather defund critical agencies that keep us safe like the TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA, than rein in Trump’s rogue secret police as it’s literally killing American citizens.
Trump can gaslight about a “golden economy” that doesn’t exist, but the American People know the truth: thanks to his stupid tariffs & his Big Ugly Bill, basic necessities have never been more expensive.
Honored to join my friends at the Met Council for a Ramadan food pantry distribution in Harlem this afternoon. They specialize in providing nutritious kosher & halal foods to those in need. Thank you for all you do to keep folks in your community healthy & fed!
Had a great meal at Refettorio Harlem! Just spectacular! With partners like Food For Soul, chefs, they prepare delicious, restaurant-quality meals from donated ingredients two night a week, making sure those in need have access to nutritious food.
As I told Congressman Chip Roy: The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added far fewer jobs last year than in 2024. He may be impressed by that, but I’m not a cheap date when it comes to making sure people have jobs in this country.
The economy couldn’t be better for the wealthy & well-connected—and Epstein-class billionaire donors are making more than ever.
But most of us are struggling to pay for groceries, rent, and healthcare. Thanks to this rigged economy, we’re getting screwed.
In a huge blow to Trump, six House Republicans sided with every Democrat to end his illegal and costly tariffs on Canadian goods. We must keep up the pressure. His grip on power is slipping.
Shocking that the billionaire Epstein-class is so out of touch that they don’t know how hard it is to pay for basic necessities.
When your government is run by the well-off & well-connected, they don't just fail to understand your struggles—they dismiss them.
Trump is not invincible. When enough of us raise our voices and say ENOUGH, we win.
The SAVE act is anti-American & anti-democracy. I’m furious that it passed the House.
It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. Voter fraud is rarer than rare—and when it does occur, it’s often MAGA trying to illegally tip the scale.
