Trump and Republicans have made their priorities clear: they’ll raise costs for everyone else so long as it means another tax giveaway for billionaires.

That agenda doesn't earn my vote.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a titan of this institution. This country is stronger because of her patriotism, her example, and her unwavering belief in America’s promise.

I wish my dear friend, Speaker Pelosi, and her beloved family every happiness in this well-deserved next chapter.

Today, I watched the legality of Trump's tariffs argued in front of the Supreme Court.

This case is about more than that though—it's about bringing down prices and restoring Congress' power.

People are already feeling the sticker shock of their skyrocketing 2026 health care premiums.

We're here in Washington ready to do something about it, but Republicans need to be here too.

1/ While 24 years have passed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the memories of that day, and the ones that followed, have not diminished.

May we always hold close the memories of all those who lost their lives 24 years ago today.

President Trump is unleashing an economic assault. With his illegal firing of Federal Reserve Governor Dr. Lisa Cook, he is threatening the financial security of every American.

Politicizing the central bank threatens more inflation, higher rates, unstable retirement accounts, and more uncertainty.

Social Security is a promise America made that no senior would be left to face old age alone. That promise for 90 years has been expanded so that none of the nation’s most vulnerable is left behind.

Republicans want to break that promise. But Democrats will ensure we keep it.

1/ Free and fair elections are the bedrock of our democratic system, providing an equal voice for every American, no matter their race, gender, or zip code.

Texas Democrats are standing up to an unconscionable attack on the bedrock of our democratic system: free and fair elections.

Treasury Secretary Bessent today said the quiet part out loud: Republicans’ ultimate goal is to privatize Social Security.

And we know that there isn’t a backdoor they won’t try to make Wall Street’s dream a reality.

60 years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid became law.

Since then, these programs have made health care a reality for hundreds of millions, helping people live with dignity, security, and hope.

Democrats have never stopped fighting to keep this promise – and we never will.

5 years ago today, we lost one of the greats.

John Lewis dedicated his life fighting to make America a better and more just place, showing us how kindness and forgiveness are what truly make a person strong and great.

We miss him every day.

The Republican tax bill attacks hospitals in Massachusetts. It cuts off revenue, cuts jobs, and cuts lifesaving care for thousands.

More on this with @ianpickus.bsky.social on @wamcradio.bsky.social: www.wamc.org/podcast/the-...

Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been holding the floor for over 8 hours because he—and every single Democrat—knows just how disastrous this bill is for the American people.

No matter what happens today, Democrats and I won’t stop fighting for a brighter future for every American.

2/ And for what? To give the top 0.1% an extra $700 per day, while those making less than $50,000 get less than $1 per day.

1/ In less than 100 days, this administration has taken an economy that was the envy of the world & is threatening to plunge us into a recession.

The Trump Tariff Tax is tanking the economy, erasing trillions of dollars in retirement savings & increasing costs for the average household by $3,800.

1/ This is the sign hanging on the door of the Springfield Vet Center after the VA cut thousands of employees in February.

Now, the administration is cutting an additional 80,000 workers and threatening to terminate contracts with critical entities like the National Center for PTSD.

1/ THANK YOU to the more than 8,000 constituents who joined my telephone town hall last night.

I heard every one of your concerns about the new administration, and they are shared by my Democratic colleagues and I.

1/ Over the last three weeks, I've heard from countless constituents concerned about many of the actions taken by the Trump Administration.

Tonight, join me for a telephone town hall at 6:30 PM EST to discuss how we are fighting back against against this executive overreach.

What's being targeted in the Republican budget proposal?

❌ The Affordable Care Act
❌ Medicaid & CHIP
❌ SNAP

Here's what this may look like in MA-01.
