Over 400 people at Wachusett Regional High School in Holden! People are fired up and mad as hell at what Donald Trump is doing to our country.
Thank you for showing up and standing up for what is right and just. You give me hope.
Today at Whately Town Hall, I told seniors from across the valley that I will not back down in the fight to stop Trump and Elon from screwing them over to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
If the courts won’t stop this, and the Republican majority in Congress won’t stop this, we must engage in mass peaceful protest to take our country back from fascism.
Today, I light a candle in solidarity with the people of Sudan. For too long, the world has looked away.
The Sudanese people deserve peace, justice, and accountability. We must speak out and protect civilians. #KeepEyesOnSudan #DontForgetAboutSudan 🕯️

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
UPDATE: Read my new, urgent demand for answers. The American people deserve to know what Marco Rubio and Bukele agreed to. If this deal is so great, why are our own leaders afraid to make it public???Release it—now!!!
This is NUTS. In this country, we do not let our leaders sign secret agreements with foreign dictators to deport people without oversight or transparency. That is illegal.
Project Just Because in Hopkinton does essential work serving over 1,500 people in our communities. Thank you Cherylann & your amazing team for the tour!
In the richest country in the world, it is shameful that we have over 40 million hungry people. Your work to #EndHungerNow is an inspiration!

I'm taking action following the Trump administration's sudden revocation of international student visas in MA-02.
Their actions are unconstitutional, unconscionable, and unprecedented. We need answers.

Phil Johnston was one of a kind. A fierce defender of human rights, he believed in the power of public service—and the idea that government can be a force for good. He’ll be missed by so many—especially those he encouraged & mentored with his wit & wisdom. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/06/m...
So happy to be at the 10th anniversary of LABO!
Thanks to Elizabeth and her team for their inspiring work—our vibrant Latino community makes America great, and I am proud to stand with such an amazing organization that drives economic development across Central Massachusetts.
Healthcare should be a fundamental human right in this country.
Great to be with the Health Equity Partnership of North Central Massachusetts—thank you Chelsey and your team for all your hard work towards health equity in our community!

Just in time for Easter…
Families can’t afford Trump.
Honored to join @mazonusa.bsky.social at this year’s annual Hunger Seder on Capitol Hill.
This year, it’s more important than ever that we stand up against the oppression of hunger.
Reposted byRep. Jim McGovern
Behind closed doors, House Republicans know their budget is deeply unpopular.
They know Americans won't stand for their plans to rip away health care and make kids go hungry.
Republicans may have gone home tonight, but Democrats won't stop fighting back against this betrayal.
This is delusional. Who was the President of the United States in March of 2020?
