My latest newsletter is out — detailing how we stopped a bad climate bill from coming to the floor last week. With Trump continuing his war on renewables — we have more work to do. We need climate justice *and* real affordability — not just one or the other! www.repmikeconnolly.org/we_just_stop...
We just stopped a bad climate bill from coming to the floor
House Leaders announced that action on the bill is postponed until at least the new year, and the concerning provisions of the bill are now subject to revision.

Goodbye Hubba-Hubba — a Cambridge, Mass. icon — it’s sad to see you go. Thank you for all you’ve done to educate and empower generations of people near and far in their sex lives. 50% off sale through tomorrow. Moving forward, we need policies that do more to support our local, independent retail.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the transgender members of our community whose lives were taken by hate. As we remember those we have lost, we recommit ourselves to building a Commonwealth where every transgender person is safe, affirmed, and able to live openly and joyfully. 🏳️⚧️

Thank you to my constituents who’ve raised concerns with the climate and energy bill. I share your concerns and have been advocating to House Leaders to stop this bill from coming to a vote this week. I’m pleased to report our collective advocacy is making a difference. We can’t retreat on climate!

This spending bill is a fundamental betrayal of the people, and I voted NO.
Shame on every member of Congress who voted to deny a child their medication or to tear away life-saving cancer treatment.
The people deserve so much better, and this fight isn't over.

@mikeconnollyma.bsky.social is our OG democratic socialist state rep, and his leadership continues to pave the way for a rising cadre of bold leftist leaders changing the status quo on Beacon Hill. I am so grateful for his support in our race for Cambridge City Council.
