Great to be in Worcester for the 50th anniversary celebration of The Cultural Center Hrisohorafiton—an incredible organization dedicated to preserving Greek heritage in our community. Wishing them another 50 years of cultural exchange, education, and community building!

Today I joined @trahan.house.gov & the United Way of North Central Massachusetts to hear directly from local food pantries and service providers about how Trump is making hunger worse in North Central MA.
Food should be a fundamental right this country!

While too many in Washington want to demonize poor people, I’m proud that here in Massachusetts, groups like Making Opportunity Count are rallying our community in support of those in need. Great roundtable w/ @trahan.house.gov & other local leaders to discuss their work today.

There's something wrong with our country when on the same day that Elon Musk gets paid a trillion dollars, the Trump administration appeals a federal court order that requires them to fully fund nutrition assistance for poor people.

During my visit to the Central Massachusetts Veterans Support Inc. food pantry, Anne Marie told me they’re seeing a “drastic increase” among veterans and active-duty service members.
Some in Washington are cutting nutrition assistance & leaving our veterans behind. It’s shameful.

After bravely serving our country, many of our veterans can't even afford food.
Today, I helped stock the shelves at the Central Massachusetts Veterans Support Inc. food pantry in Millbury. It’s essential that we help those who've already given us so much.

There’s a special place in Hell for people who rip food away from hungry children.

Trump just admitted that he’s weaponizing hunger—defying a court order & starving more than 40 million Americans (including 16 million CHILDREN) for sadistic political leverage.

Trump’s own lawyers at USDA posted (then deleted) the guidance below that SNAP continues during a shutdown.
Can someone ask him to explain why he disagrees with Trump’s own lawyers?

Republicans give every tax break & giveaway they can think of to greedy billionaires and then tell Americans we have to pick between food & healthcare. It’s a false choice and I reject it.

While you’re struggling to put food on the table & pay for healthcare, Trump is focused on yet another home renovation project.
He’s auditioning for Property Brothers while you can’t pay your rent.

Fantastic to be in Athol for the groundbreaking of The Residences at the Park—a new affordable housing community.
I secured $1 million in federal funding for nonprofit NewVue to make this a reality.
Every American deserves affordable housing & projects like these make it happen.

Local food pantries are essential—especially as Trump illegally rips away food assistance from millions of families.
I was honored to be at the ribbon cutting for the renovation of the Food Pantry at Pernet Family Health Service. Their work is so critical during these challenging times.

Trump continues to violate the rights of our immigrant community.
I hosted a Know Your Rights roundtable in Leominster with @massago.bsky.social @trahan.house.gov to make sure folks understand their constitutional protections.
America is a nation of immigrants & we must stand with them.

Trump is a lousy president & a lousy human being. Republicans in Congress know this—but they’ve all fallen in line. It’s outrageous & pathetic.

Trump can find $40 billion to bail out Argentina, but can’t find it in his heart to help millions of hungry Americans.
I spoke with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com about how Republicans are illegally cancelling nutrition assistance & using hungry families as sick political leverage.

Trump’s own lawyers said emergency funding must be used for nutrition assistance during a shutdown. USDA just deleted that memo & is now planning to illegally cancel SNAP.

It’s not a joke. Republicans in Congress have totally given up on being a separate and coequal branch of government. Mike Johnson has shrunk himself so much and made himself so irrelevant and trivial that the only joke is him.

The Speaker of the House had to tell the President of the United States that he can’t seek an unconstitutional third term. That should frighten everyone.
Trump is telling us what he wants to do. We better listen & be prepared to stop him. If we don’t, we won’t have a country anymore.

Republicans talk about their “clean” continuing resolution… It was “clean” before Trump ignored the law and obliterated programs that Congress authorized & appropriated money for. That’s what would “continue” under their CR.

Inflation is up 3% over the past year. Because of Trump’s tariffs, working people are struggling to pay for food, housing, & healthcare. But don’t worry, his “main priority” is building his Temu Versailles ballroom.
He never was and never will be America First.
