As a Catholic American, I’m horrified by Trump’s immoral and unjust war of choice. I’m with Pope Leo.

These giant corporations didn't pay a cent in taxes.
Our tax code is written of, by, and for the rich and well-connected who profit off your labor while you work hard and play by the rules.
We need to fight for a system that puts working people ahead of billionaires.
The only people getting massive tax returns this year are the mega rich.
Meanwhile, working folks are $3,200 poorer because of Trump’s stupid tariffs & his costly war of choice with Iran.
Republicans are fighting for the billionaire Epstein class—and they’re leaving you behind.
As part of my #EndHungerNow Tour, @whipkclark.bsky.social & I visited Hosmer Elementary in Watertown, which is at the forefront of making sure kids get nutritious meals. School meal programs need more resources, which is why I’m pushing to pass my bill, the Healthy Meals Help Kids Learn Act!
Access to healthy food & quality healthcare are human rights—but we've too often failed to connect good nutrition & better health outcomes.
That’s why I’m urging Congress to fund Food is Medicine initiatives & make nutrition a core pillar of our healthcare system.

It’s almost like working people don’t like it when the government rips away their health insurance to give billionaires a massive tax break—and wastes billions on a reckless war of choice that’s making everything in life more expensive…
Trump said Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “obliterated" in 2025. His top counterterrorism official resigned because there was no imminent threat.
Bombing schoolgirls isn't making us more safe—and we certainly don't think this war of choice is more important than lowering costs.
Trump is doubling down on his reckless war of choice with Iran, pushing gas prices even higher with his weapons-grade stupidity.
This insanity needs to end NOW.
Climate change is real—and it’s hurting working people across the country, especially in our rural communities.
Honored to speak at the Worcester County Climate Summit hosted by the Greater Worcester Community Foundation & Mass Audubon! They're doing amazing work to fight for a cleaner world.

Folks struggling with addiction deserve to be treated with dignity & respect.
Great to meet with the Opioid Task Force & local leaders from Franklin County & North Quabbin. I’m thankful for their tireless work in spite of cuts to programs that help people dealing with addiction.
Does this administration understand basic economics? How the hell is blockading the place where gas comes from going to lower gas prices? Explain it to us like we’re in 5th grade.
Investing in the arts is investing in our mental health & wellbeing.
Honored to attend UMass’ Art for the Common Good to speak with artists, healthcare providers, policymakers, researchers & local leaders about the importance of creativity. Thanks for hosting a great event!
Gas in my hometown of Worcester is now well over $4 a gallon...
…and Trump’s big plan is a blockade of the blockade of the strait that 20% of the world’s oil passes through.
This guy is weapons-grade stupid.

I am repulsed by this photo. Does Trump now think he is Jesus? First he attacks and insults Pope Leo, now he depicts himself as Christ and tries to mock God. This is outrageous, offensive, and profane. Clearly he is not well. As an American, a Catholic, a human—I am disgusted.
I applaud the people of Hungary for exercising their democratic freedoms and rejecting authoritarianism.
I look forward to the new Hungarian government prioritizing human rights, strengthening EU and NATO ties, and standing against those who advocate illiberalism in Europe.
Americans are leaving America in record droves because they can’t afford to live in Trump’s Economy.
He’s spectacularly failing at the #1 thing he promised—and was elected—to do.
I just conducted oversight of an ICE facility in Burlington. Many of the people being held there are NOT the worst of the worst—they’re hardworking folks like Orlando, who simply want to support their family and give back to the community. Here’s a small part of his story.
