I’ll say it again: speeches and tweets are great but the only thing that matters around here is VOTES.
The “freedom caucus” has become the “tweet no, vote yes caucus.”

This is insane. Trump just bombed Iran without Congressional approval, illegally dragging us into war in the Middle East. Have we not learned our lesson!?!?
Congress must return to Washington at once to vote on Rep. Thomas Massie’s War Powers Resolution to stop this madness.
Mahmoud Khalil should never, ever have been detained. @markey.senate.gov, @pressley.house.gov and I went to see him in April and have continued to advocate for his release. We must not stop fighting until no person is jailed for simply exercising their First Amendment rights.
Over 200 people in Athol this morning for Coffee with your Congressman! Great conversations. This is what democracy looks like. Thank you to everyone who took time out of your busy day to ask questions and share your opinions!
#Juneteenth recognizes the end of slavery in America. But it’s about more than an end—it’s about fighting for justice & working to heal the wounds of racism so all may be free & equal. Honored to join the Worcester Black Heritage Committee at the YWCA of Central Massachusetts for a flag raising.
What an awful ruling. Because of this rogue Supreme Court, trans kids will lose access to life-affirming and life-saving care. This decision does not protect children, it hurts them.

Donald Trump in 2016: “Obviously the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake.“
Trump was right.
Let’s not repeat that mistake in 2025 by getting dragged into a war with Iran.
Knowledge is power. Our democracy depends on public libraries—doors open to all, wisdom shared by all, community built by all. Today Amherst breaks ground not just on major upgrades to the Jones Library, but on the promise of a building that will carry forward this dream to a future unseen.
I'm sick of politicians in Washington coming up with new ways to send young people to die in order to boost their political fortunes.
I urge all my colleagues to join us on this important resolution, and to say enough is enough!
It's unconstitutional for any president to go to war without a vote in Congress. Period, end of story.
I'm joining Rep. Thomas Massie on a bipartisan resolution to prohibit an unauthorized war with Iran.
Hey Athol, Orange, New Salem, Wendell, Erving, Warwick, Royalston, Northfield and Shutesbury—let’s grab coffee this Saturday! All are welcome.

Senate Republican leaders released a proposal tonight that would cut or take food assistance away entirely from millions of people, including kids, veterans, workers in low-paying jobs, older adults, and people with disabilities. More here: www.cbpp.org/blog/trackin...
Senate Republicans are pushing the same disastrous policies that will slash the food budgets of families with young kids, kick older adults off nutritional assistance, and take food away from hungry people all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Chair Foxx last night: "Any Member who has any regrets about his or her vote on the first bill [H.R. 1] has the opportunity to vote no on the rule."
Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Davidson—thank you for voting against this bill the first time around.
I want to make sure you both know how your leadership has structured today’s rule vote.👀⬇️
Hey Rep. Scott Perry, you claim you “sounded the alarm” about the awful bill before voting for it anyway.
You’re getting a second chance—will you actually vote against it now?
Hey Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene—you said you voted for the bill and you “would have voted NO if I had known [a provision preventing AI regulation] was in there.”
You’re getting a second chance later today. Will you actually vote against it now?
