If President Trump and Republicans don't act, more than 300K people in Massachusetts will see premiums skyrocket by as much as $25K.
They're gutting the ACA's ability to keep care affordable — and families and small businesses will pay the price.

President Trump blocked food assistance for over a week — then tried to punish states for feeding hungry Americans.
This is great news and I’m grateful to AG Campbell and her team. SNAP benefits are still going out. If you have funds on your EBT card, use them.

A federal judge just granted our motion to temporarily block the Trump Administration from ordering states to claw back full SNAP benefits.

We’re working with @massago.bsky.social to make sure everyone gets the benefits they’re owed. Trump should focus on reopening his government instead of fighting to take food away from families.

President Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.
Our scheduled SNAP payment went out this morning, so families who missed earlier payments should now have funds available on their cards ready to buy food. We’re reviewing what the latest court ruling means for those expecting benefits next week.

HUGE WIN: Thank you to @massgovernor.bsky.social and the Mass. Department of Transitional Assistance for getting FULL SNAP benefits on cards as early as tomorrow. Hunger isn't political - we'll keep fighting for our residents!
SNAP UPDATE: I’m directing SNAP benefits to be processed today — and paid IN FULL starting tomorrow.
Americans are going hungry because President Trump chose to play politics with their lives.
