With families already facing rising energy costs, it’s critical they have the support they need to keep their homes safe & warm this winter.

Today I partnered with @repraulruizmd.bsky.social to demand that the Trump administration release all available LIHEAP funding for folks in need.

Open enrollment is here, and folks are quickly realizing they cannot afford the Republican health care price hike.

Trump gutted Medicaid and undermined the ACA – and now costs are soaring.

Republicans in Congress need to work with us to lower costs for families.

Millions of Americans' health care costs are skyrocketing, but Donald Trump and GOP leaders refuse to act. Many Republicans represent districts that will be decimated by this decision.

Only four need to join us to protect Americans' health care.

Donald Trump's decision to withhold SNAP benefits during the shutdown was cruel and unnecessary. They had the money and the power to release it, but chose not to.

We're fortunate to have @massgovernor.bsky.social and organizations like United Way of Massachusetts Bay who helped fill that void.

Republicans refused to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social for 50 DAYS after her election because she's the deciding vote to release the Epstein files.

Yesterday, she was sworn in. The first thing she did was sign the petition that will force a vote to release the files.

Let’s get it done!

For seven weeks, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress refused to work in good faith to protect Americans’ health care, help families put food on the table, and reopen the federal government.
November 13, 2025 at 1:32 AM
Republicans are taking a victory lap on this so-called “deal” despite having no plan to protect Americans’ health care or lower costs for families.

I’m voting NO.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein wrote in emails that Donald Trump "knew about the girls" he was trafficking and abusing, and even spent hours at Epstein’s house with one of the victims.
 
No wonder Republicans in Congress are blocking the release of the full Epstein files.

On Veterans Day, we pause to honor those who answered the call to serve and to recommit ourselves to standing by them when they return home.

To every veteran and their loved ones, thank you for your courage, sacrifice and service! 🇺🇸

It’s great to see Hudson receive nearly $2.9 million to offset PFAS cleanup costs!

Responding to these forever chemicals can cost a fortune and decimate a community’s budget. Investments like this are essential to cleaning up our drinking water.

From the shores of Tripoli to raising the flag over Iwo Jima to today, generations of Marines have courageously defended the rights and freedoms we cherish.

As we mark 250 years of the United States Marine Corps, please join me in wishing every Marine a happy birthday!

I’m reviewing the details of the Senate deal, but from day one my focus has been clear: lowering health care costs for the American people.
 
Movement toward reopening the government is good, but any deal must deliver real relief for working families.

This one isn’t there yet.

Families are bracing for yet another spike in health care costs. Why? It’s the direct result of Trump and House Republicans’ failed policies.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are still at the table waiting for GOPleaders to work with us to protect Americans’ health care.
America’s health-care costs are shooting up
One big reason is that people are seeking more treatment

Yesterday, @repmcgovern.bsky.social and I spoke with the North Central Chamber of Commerce about the issues that matter most to small businesses across the region, including their efforts to overcome higher prices caused by costly tariffs.

The Merrimack Valley Food Bank does so much to support folks in need across our region. Grateful for the opportunity to stop by and support their efforts this morning.

We must restore SNAP and food bank funding immediately!

Families across Massachusetts are struggling to put food on the table as Trump ignores court orders to release critical SNAP benefits.

@repmcgovern.bsky.social and I met with families who depend on food pantries to hear how they’re working to make ends meet.

The video of a violent ICE apprehension in Fitchburg is deeply disturbing. My office has been in touch with ICE to gather more information about what occurred and why, as well as the City of Fitchburg and Fitchburg PD to offer my support.

When Trump refuses to release funds for food and home heating assistance, our communities suffer – that’s why @repmcgovern.bsky.social and I met with Making Opportunity Count leaders today.

Millions of families are bracing for massive health care cost increases of hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Instead of working with Democrats to stop this price hike, Trump & the GOP are refusing to protect Americans’ health care and causing the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Americans brace for much higher ACA premiums
Just how much healthcare premiums will increase will vary from state to state and will also depend on age.

A year since Donald Trump was elected, and the average American family is paying $208 more every month for the exact same goods and services – the same housing, the same groceries, the same utilities.

We deserve better.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s retirement marks the close of one of the most extraordinary chapters in American history. As she thanks San Francisco, the country and indeed the world thanks her.

For decades, Nancy Pelosi has embodied the very best of public service.

Donald Trump and Republicans have spent the past year driving up prices, ripping health care away, and making life harder for hardworking Americans.

Voters sent a message in yesterday's elections. While the GOP buries their heads in the sand, Democrats are fighting back.

First, a billionaire crypto executive turned a blind eye to money laundering and pleaded guilty.

Then, he funneled billions to Trump to get a pardon.

Now, Trump claims he doesn’t know who he is.

They think we’re stupid.
