While Republicans in Washington play political games with families’ health care, Massachusetts leaders are stepping up. Grateful to @massgovernor.bsky.social for pushing for this vital investment to help hardworking folks across the Commonwealth afford their health coverage.

The protesters know the risks, and they're still demanding freedom and a future free of repression.

The bravery of the Iranian people deserves to be seen and supported.
January 12, 2026 at 7:41 PM
Watching the protests in Iran, it's impossible not to feel a deep sense of admiration. Ordinary people are standing up to a tyrannical government that's responding with fear and violence.

It takes real courage to raise your voice when the cost can be arrest, injury or death.

Donald Trump's reckless tariff policies are driving prices higher and instead of focusing on the high cost of living, he's attempting a hostile takeover of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Hardworking families looking at their skyrocketing monthly bills deserve better.

It hasn't gotten a lot of news coverage, but earlier this week, Donald Trump withdrew our country from international organizations he deemed "contrary to the interests of the United States."

Here are just a few of those organizations:

Seventeen House Republicans joined all Democrats to stop the GOP health care crisis and extend the ACA tax credits.

The Senate must act before more Americans lose their health coverage.

No new angle or Republican talking point can justify the killing of Renee Good.

An ICE agent shot a U.S. citizen and mother of three at point blank. The video tells the truth.

Donald Trump checked in with oil corporations – not Congress – before sending the U.S. military in to enact regime change in Venezuela.

Now, he's leaving the door open for American boots on the ground in South America.

We must pass the War Powers resolution now.
Trump spoke to oil companies before Venezuela attack but didn't brief lawmakers, he says
U.S. oil firms have not confirmed having held such conversations with Trump.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem should be removed from office.

Her incompetence makes our communities less safe.
Tricia McLaughlin, the mouthpiece of DHS, posted a private jet photo to her Instagram. It was recently revealed that her husband’s company won a subcontract on a non-competed $220M contract from DHS, in a deal described by experts as “corrupt” and “worthy of an investigation.”

Health care costs skyrocketed for millions of Americans on January 1st. Today, 17 Republicans joined with Democrats to pass a bipartisan bill to stop that price hike by extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

The Senate must act NOW!

Our communities deserve safe water, reliable infrastructure, and support for people working to overcome addiction. That’s why I spent the past year working to cut through the gridlock and secure $5 MILLION for vital local projects!

This week, my office met with @iamals.bsky.social to discuss the tireless efforts of physicians, nurses and researchers to treat and find a cure for ALS.

We cannot afford cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and research – all of which are vital for patients and their families fighting this terrible disease.

I just left the briefing on Donald Trump’s regime change in Venezuela.

Nothing I heard gave me any confidence that this administration has a serious plan to avoid a forever war in South America.
January 7, 2026 at 10:25 PM
Communities are being harmed, and the public deserves the truth. The Trump administration wants us to ignore what we can clearly see with our own eyes.
January 7, 2026 at 8:04 PM
The Trump administration is saying the woman shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis was trying to hurt law enforcement. Video evidence directly contradicts this claim. She was trying to leave when she was killed.

I’m heartbroken. And furious. Just two days after Trump & RFK Jr. told families it isn’t necessary to get your kids their flu shots, we learned three children have died from the flu in Massachusetts over the last month. These reckless decisions are going to devastate families.

Local leaders took their oaths of office in communities across the Commonwealth this week. I look forward to working with new and returning officials – from city and town halls to Beacon Hill to Washington – to deliver for the families we represent.

The 2024-25 flu season saw the highest number of children in the U.S. die from the flu in 15 years.

How are Donald Trump and RFK Jr. responding?

They're telling families it's not necessary to get your kids' flu or RSV vaccines. This is reckless.

Donald Trump was warned that releasing violent extremists without accountability would put our communities at risk. That warning was ignored.

Now, five years after January 6th, America is less safe.
January 6, 2026 at 6:28 PM
Now the consequences are clear.

Dozens of pardoned January 6 offenders are already facing new criminal charges, including child sex crimes, illegal weapons possession, drunk driving, rape, and in multiple cases, deadly outcomes.

Those pardons included people who assaulted police with flag poles and led coordinated attacks on the Capitol to keep Trump in power.
January 6, 2026 at 6:28 PM
Law enforcement held hundreds of the most violent attackers accountable. Then Trump erased it all.

Last January, he issued blanket pardons to every January 6th offender, no matter how brutal their crimes.
Criminal records of Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump include rape, domestic violence
Dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who received pardons from President Trump had past criminal convictions for charges including rape, manslaughter, domestic violence and drug trafficking.

Five years ago, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol after Donald Trump spent months lying about the 2020 election.

Police were beaten. Lives were threatened. Democracy was attacked.
