Donald Trump is playing politics with our children's futures. Because this White House is withholding federal education funding, school districts may have to cancel vital programs, stop hiring teachers or delay important planning for the fall.
Trump must release these funds NOW.

helping them save time, cut costs and receive life-changing career and education guidance. Grateful to Governor Healey for spearheading early college programs!
When our young people are given the tools they need to unlock their full potential, there’s no limit to what they can achieve. Thanks to the remarkable new partnership between Fitchburg State and Mount Wachusett CC, Massachusetts students can earn college credit while still in high school –

In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @amo.house.gov calls out Republicans for cutting millions of Americans’ health insurance, food assistance and access to higher education, while driving energy costs through the roof.
In times like these, we must come together as neighbors, as communities, and as a nation to support our fellow Americans in their greatest hour of need.
The catastrophic flash flooding in Texas has taken nearly 100 lives, with dozens still missing. Our hearts are with every family enduring unimaginable loss and uncertainty.
We owe it to our young people to fight with everything we have to protect Job Corps centers like Shriver across the nation.
Job Corps Centers are the heartbeat of opportunity for young adults hungry to break barriers, earn their diploma, gain critical skills, and claim their place in the workforce. The stories of Shriver, Grafton and Westover graduates are living testaments to the life-changing power of this program.
Donald Trump is throwing a party at the White House today as he signs his Big, Ugly Bill into law. He’ll be surrounded by Republican politicians and their billionaire donors, and he's going to lie A LOT about what this bill does.
So let's go through it:
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
The fight for our independence began in Massachusetts – right here in Concord. We’ve inherited the freedoms they, and generations of Americans after them, fought to secure and strengthen.
It’s our mission to ensure future generations have the same opportunity.
I voted NO because Massachusetts families deserve better.
Kids, seniors, and people with disabilities shouldn’t have to pay the price for another billionaire tax cut.
And they’re doing all this to deliver nearly $1 trillion in tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy.
If you make over $1 million a year, you’re getting an $80,000+ tax break.
If you’re a working family, prices go up and lifesaving services disappear.
House Republicans just passed Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill.
They voted to:
❌Rip health care away from 17 million people
❌Close hospitals & nursing homes
❌Cut food for millions of families & kids
❌Raise energy costs
❌Kill over 1 million jobs
❌Undermine public schools
We’re not letting up the fight, and we’re going to do everything we can to sink this horrible piece of legislation.
I’m voting NO.
Because Massachusetts families deserve better.
Because we need budgets that lift people up — not tear them down to give billionaires another tax cut.
Stay tuned. I’ll have more to say after the vote.
And after all of that?
It adds $4 trillion to the national debt just to pay for nearly $1 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%.
Millionaires will get an average tax break of $80,000+ per year.
❌ Raises energy costs for families and seniors by $400/year on average.
❌ Kills more than 1 million jobs — mostly in clean energy.
❌ Undermines public schools and makes college more expensive.
❌ Eliminates taxes on silencers and short-barreled rifles.
❌ Slashes food assistance (SNAP) by 20%.
That’s 5 million people losing help to buy food.
Millions of kids will lose access to school breakfast and lunch programs.
