A big thank you to Mark and his 8th grade class for inviting me to come speak at Whitinsville Christian School!
Great questions from an amazing group of students.
Young people are 100% of our future, and I’m so proud of how inquisitive and smart this group was.
The US Institute of Peace is an independent, non-profit institution. It is not a government agency. This means DOGE is expanding its attacks to the civil society sector, as we see in authoritarian states like China & Russia. Our democracy is under siege.

Reminder: Trump pardoned violent criminals who brutally beat law enforcement on January 6, including:
-A guy who tasered a cop—causing a heart attack
-A guy who's been re-arrested for soliciting a minor
-A guy who got killed in a shootout with police after Trump let him off
Nita was a dear friend and mentor to me. Someone who represented the best of Congress—a trailblazer for women's rights and a true champion for working people. I will miss her.
Musk is a deranged, sick person who put out a tweet defending Hitler. Running interference for genocidal dictators who ordered mass murder is beyond the pale. Someone should educate him on the evils of the Holocaust. In the meantime he should be removed from his role—now!
Republicans won the House, won the Senate, won the White House, brag about their mandate, refuse to negotiate, waited until the last second...
...but want to blame Democrats if there's a shutdown caused by *their own* incompetence?
Yeah, no. People see right though this shit.
The Worcester Irish Festival is one of my favorite events of the year—a time when community, culture, and tradition come together. Thanks to everyone who makes this incredible celebration possible! 🍀🇮🇪🇺🇸
THANK YOU, HOLLISTON!
400 people showed up today. People who care about the future of our country and want to protect freedom and democracy 🇺🇸
Something is happening in America. We’re packing town halls—while Republicans are hiding from their own voters.
We will not give up!
“WASHINGTON — House Republicans can’t meet their own budget target that is necessary to pass President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda without making significant cuts to Medicare or Medicaid, the official budget scorekeeper confirmed Wednesday.”

The vast majority of VA employees work for the Veterans Health Administration—aka VA medical centers, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes.
They are the nurses, doctors & support staff who care for those who served America in uniform.
Trump wants to fire them. This is evil.
This is unbelievable. I've had 4 town halls in the last 3 weeks. Not everyone agreed with me. Some people asked tough questions.
You know what? That's the job. We answer to the people.
You might as well resign if you're going to run from your own constituents like a coward.
Republicans think pissed off voters showing up at their town halls are “paid resistance.”
Did the “paid resistance” cause them to lose 41 seats in the House the next year, too?
I can actually guarantee veterans benefits and care WILL be affected by their extreme cuts.
So I have a challenge for Donald Trump.
Instead of standing at that podium and lying about how great things are—come visit a food pantry.
Look families in the eye and tell them why you’re making them go hungry.
In the meantime, I will keep fighting to #EndHungerNow.
Hungry families also come to pantries like Ginny's Helping Hand in Leominster—which relies on federal funding to help fill their shelves.
And at the same time Republicans propose cutting SNAP benefits, they're also proposing cutting funding for food pantries.
Of the rest, the majority who can work *do work.* They just make so little that they still qualify for benefits.
Let me put this into perspective: The average food benefit right now is just $2 per meal—about $6 a day.
That’s barely enough to buy a carton of eggs.
47 million Americans struggle to put food on the table.
Many of them rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to make ends meet.
The majority of people on SNAP are children, seniors, and Americans with disabilities.
🚨 Trump’s speech tomorrow won’t mention this → he wants to slash food assistance for hungry families while handing billionaires another tax break.
Watch my remarks on the state of hunger in America here: youtu.be/_VJGlwotlMk?...
