Nearly 42 million people could miss food stamps next month thanks to the Trump-Republican government shutdown.
And Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than help feed our families.
The cruelty is the point.

After our pressure, @nationalgrid.bsky.social announced a payment plan opportunity for federal workers & contractors impacted by the Republican government shutdown.
Those needing assistance should call their hotline without delay: 1-800-322-3223.
I call on @eversource.bsky.social to follow suit.
Sergio Mejia's deportation is a brazen violation of his right to due process.
Despite having his immigration case pending, he was stolen from his three children and unlawfully deported.
The Trump Admin. must return him NOW and stop trampling on our constitutional rights.
Healthcare costs are about to skyrocket for millions of families in Massachusetts & across the country.
And where are House Republicans? On day 31 of their vacation.
It’s time for Republicans to get back to work, re-open the govt, & address the healthcare crisis they created.
Happy #Diwali to everybody celebrating the festival of lights in the #MA7 and around the world.
Light will always triumph over darkness.
Wishing you and your loved ones love, light, and happiness during this joyous holiday.
Our girls are limitless.
It was so fulfilling to co-host our Girl Scouts at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for a special civic engagement day.
They were sworn in as "Senators for a Day," drafted legislation, delivered floor speeches, & encouraged to step into their power.
Instead of reopening the government and addressing the healthcare crisis they created, Republicans are willing to let hospitals close and people's healthcare costs double.
It's shameful and our communities deserve better.
Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison.
His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate.
The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.
Republicans have never been serious about the care, health, & future of all our children.
They want to ship middle schoolers to prison & rip them from their families while protecting predators like Trump & Epstein.
We need real, sustainable solutions to keep our kids safe.
The CFPB has returned over $21B to consumers by holding big banks accountable, tackling discrimination, & more.
But now, the Trump Admin is promising to kill this essential agency.
This is shameful and unlawful. And the cruelty is the point.

As Members of Congress, it's our right & duty to help folks abducted by ICE connect with their family & legal counsel.
But the Republican govt shutdown & closure of ICE's congressional relations office is preventing us from doing just that.
They must reopen the government NOW.
More than 35,000 #MA7 residents are at risk of losing their healthcare coverage if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire.
None of this is acceptable and it's 100% preventable.
Republicans need to re-open the government NOW and address the healthcare crisis they’ve created.
Thousands of federal workers & contractors in Massachusetts are missing paychecks because of the Republican govt shutdown.
That's why I’m urging @nationalgrid.bsky.social & @eversource.bsky.social to make sure the electricity & heat stay on for their families.
No shutoffs, late fees, or interest.
Trump is using the shutdown HE CREATED as an excuse to keep firing our dedicated federal workers.
Workers who have been doing their jobs for decades and keeping our Commonwealth and country running.
This is unlawful, and every single one of these workers must be reinstated.
It's been two weeks of this Republican manufactured shutdown.
Two weeks in which real people & real lives have been disrupted.
To our shared constituents: Democrats are fighting to protect your healthcare & your livelihoods.
Our fight isn't over, and we won't give up on you.
Every day the Trump Admin fails to act, more student loan borrowers are pushed closer to financial ruin.
This isn’t just a policy failure—it’s a moral one.
That's why @warren.senate.gov & I are demanding Trump & Republicans address the student loan default cliff before it's too late.
We’re witnessing a coordinated Republican assault on Black political power—from attacks on the Voting Rights Act to redistricting Black & brown leaders out of their seats.
The Supreme Court must uphold the VRA & defend the sacred right to vote.
Our democracy depends on it.
Unlike my Republican colleagues, I'm in Washington ready to reopen the government & fighting for the people I represent.
Healthcare is a human right. Sharing a few letters from our neighbors with you today:
It is alarming that the Trump Admin & rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child from Everett, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away & reportedly subject him to harrowing conditions.
They must stop violating our constitutional rights.
