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!!!
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!
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.
