Medicaid helps people with disabilities live, work, and participate in their communities. It’s shameful that Republicans are cutting those programs. Great to join the 35th annual Providers of Central Massachusetts in Worcester—they’re fighting for folks’ right to live with dignity & respect.

The U.S. must stand for those who defend human rights. Ruth Lopez has been imprisoned for political reasons. The government of El Salvador should release her immediately. The Trump Administration should stand with human rights defenders, not the dictator who jails them. FREE RUTH LOPEZ!!!

Trump is destroying America’s long legacy of defending religious freedom at home and abroad. Click the link in the comments to read my oped about why it matters—and what Congress can do to reverse course before it’s too late.

While many are trying to pull us apart, organizations like the Retired Friends of Greendale are building community. It was an honor to present them with a flag flown over the Capitol to celebrate America’s 250th—a reminder that our common love of country is stronger than what divides us.

Elections have consequences—and none are more severe than Trump’s Big Ugly Law, which threw at least 700,000 KIDS off nutrition assistance (that we know of). One hungry kid in this country is one too many. Hundreds of thousands is beyond shameful. I’m furious. You should be too.
Sharp Drop in Number of Children Receiving SNAP Food Assistance Under New Federal Law
While cutting SNAP eligibility for children was not a stated target of H.R. 1’s proponents, the cost shift and access barriers are resulting in serious losses of food assistance for low-income childre...

Everyone deserves access to fresh, local produce—and family farms in Massachusetts are leading the way to make that happen! Great to visit Dan & his brother John from Smiarowski Farms in Sunderland. They grow asparagus, delivered to schools, restaurants, & grocery stores across the Commonwealth!

The Trump administration is tearing up our public lands to enrich the fossil fuel lobby—making conservation efforts more important than ever before. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that I secured funding to preserve over 260 acres of prime forest land in Deerfield!

What Republicans are fine spending your money on: Trump’s ballroom. Trump’s White House arena. Trump’s arc. Trump’s Iran War. What Republicans say we don’t have enough for: Your healthcare. Your social security. Your education. Your roads & bridges. Disgusting.

Freedom isn’t free. Today, we remember the brave men & women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom, justice, and democracy. We honor their selfless service to our country—which allows us all to live in peace & build a more perfect union in their memory.

McGovern: Can you explain what is happening with the Iran war powers resolution that was scheduled to be voted on this evening? Are we not voting on it because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of dollars?

🚨NEWS: Republicans just pulled a vote on an Iran War Powers Resolution because they knew they were going to lose. They don’t have the guts to end a war that’s costing BILLIONS of dollars and putting lives at risk while driving up the cost of gas & groceries.
