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.
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.
Trump has already fired over 6,000 veterans from the federal workforce and now he’s terminating the program that helps veterans at risk of foreclosure stay in their homes. This is sick.
So the Trump plan is to fire the NIH, CDC, and FDA researchers working on preventing and curing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s—and send them to work in the factories. This makes perfect sense if you are literally the stupidest person ever.
Republicans can keep running from town halls—Democrats are going to keep holding them. People are mad as hell at what Elon and Trump are doing to our country.   Over 400 people in Westborough are standing up and fighting back against authoritarianism. We will not be silent!!!
With all the negative stuff coming out of Washington, it’s good to be in Worcester rallying for a great cause.   Grateful to join folks at the Safe Homes Gala to celebrate and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.
Always great to be with my dear friend, Massachusetts Senate President Emerita Harriette Chandler!   The city of Worcester is a better place because of you. Thank you for having me on and for the important conversation about the future of our country!
FACT: Trump’s last trade war cost American taxpayers $3 billion a month in higher taxes, and cost American farmers $27 BILLION. Trump's trade war 2.0 will screw over our farmers and raise food prices for the American people.
Trump promised he’d lower costs on Day One. Costs are up. Consumer confidence is down. And his tariffs are a tax on working families that will raise prices across the board—from groceries to cars to electronics. This isn’t a path to prosperity. It’s a roadmap to recession.
Trump & Musk are betraying farmers by slashing funding that helps them increase efficiency & firing staff that helps them access resources. I stand with Ryan and all the family farms in MA02 who work day and night to put food on the table for us. www.recorder.com/My-Turn-Voil...
Proud to join @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, Rep. Jahana Hayes & @fracposts.bsky.social to introduce the Hunger Free Future Act. Republicans want to gut food programs to give billionaires more tax breaks. Our bill protects SNAP & ensures families can afford to eat. No one should go hungry in America!
Elon tried to use his money to buy a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin, because billionaires like him think their money matters more than your vote. Guess what? Wisconsin won—and the billionaire lost.
Actually, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives Congress a role in terminating these tariffs. It “doesn’t involve Congress” because Speaker Johnson rigged the rules to block the House’s ability to have a say (by literally pretending calendar days don’t exist)!
Praying for all those impacted by this devastating earthquake, including those who lost family members, homes, and livelihoods throughout the region. The people of Myanmar have suffered such hardship, even before this tragedy. My thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
