I'm thrilled the House passed legislation to prevent health insurance from skyrocketing, but the fight to doesn't stop here. That's why, this weekend, I held a roundtable to listen to folks who are facing higher premiums. Their stories make clear that the Senate must pass our bill immediately.
This is such BS. Your administration pardoned thousands of people who beat cops with broken furniture & ransacked the Capitol during a failed coup attempt to try to stop the certification of an election. That is the definition of political violence.
Great to be in Shelburne for my first town hall of 2026! Folks here are angry about Trump's blatant disregard for the law, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, and Republicans’ refusal to do anything to lower costs. Thanks to the 1st Congregational Church of Shelburne for hosting this conversation!
I first worked with Natalie Blais when she was a member of my team in my Northampton office. She’s an incredible legislator, a selfless public servant, & a powerful voice in the State House. Most importantly, she’s an awesome person. Wishing her all the best in her next chapter at UMass!
This is not how the president of a democratic republic speaks. This is how fascist dictators with imperialist ambitions talk.
ROGERS: Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage? TRUMP: Yeah. There's one thing. My own morality. My own mind. That's the only thing that can stop me. KANNO-YOUNGS: Not international law? TRUMP: I don't need international law. I'm not looking to hurt people.
I just reintroduced a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to force a vote to stop any more strikes. I already forced a first vote last month which lost by only 2. If my Republican colleagues grow a spine, it will pass this time.

Republicans keep talking about how great Trump’s economy is. Are they living under a rock? Maybe if they actually held town halls & talked to real people, they’d know the only people who think the economy is great are Epstein elites & multi-billionaires. Everyone else thinks his economy sucks.
🚨NEWS: I just voted YES to pass bipartisan legislation that will lower healthcare costs & prevent insurance premiums from skyrocketing. The Senate must act immediately & advance our bill. The American People have no time to waste.
This is flagrantly corrupt and illegal. There’s only one reason they would want to funnel dark money from stolen fossil fuel profits into offshore bank accounts. It’s because they’re stealing it.
