My statewide #EndHungerNow Tour continues with @moulton.house.gov in Lynn! The Phoenix Food Bank does incredible work—providing fresh, nutritious meals and cooking classes to those in need. Hearing their clients’ lived experiences pushes me to fight even harder to #EndHungerNow.
The Iranian regime is awful and has committed horrific human rights abuses. But bombing Iran in the name of freedom and democracy is as naive as it is stupid. Look at what's happening in Venezuela. Same regime—one dictator replaced with another. Enough already! NO MORE WAR!
We all need more good news, so here’s some for today. This morning, we broke ground on a new childcare center in Whitinsville—funded with over $1 million in federal money I secured for the Whitin Community Center. 85 new child care slots—a BIG WIN for the Blackstone Valley!
Fantastic to start off my day at the Willows in Westborough! Folks here are angry that our country is moving backwards—and they’re worried about the world their grandkids will grow up in. I’m inspired by their wisdom & determination to get America back on track.
🕚HAPPENING SOON: I’m joining local leaders in Whitinsville at approximately 11:15am to break ground on a brand new childcare center! Proud to have delivered more than $1M in federal funding to make this project a reality. Watch here ⬇️⬇️
Hey Sterling—let’s grab coffee this Saturday! All are welcome.    🏛️ Sterling Senior Center, 36 Muddy Pond Road, Sterling, MA 01564 🗓️ Saturday, February 21, 2026 🕰️ 9:30AM- 10:30AM
Record high grocery prices. Skyrocketing health insurance premiums. Soaring housing & utility costs. Does that sound like “victory” to you?! Shockingly, the Epstein-class billionaire sitting in the White House couldn’t be more out of touch.
It’s disgusting that any person—much less a sitting member of the United States Congress—espouses such vitriolic hate & bigotry. Congressman Fine—You’re a disgrace to this country & the office you hold. Resign.
Tonight, as we mark the first night of Ramadan, I want to wish a blessed month full of peace, hope, prayer, and reflection to all those celebrating in Massachusetts and around the world.
Huge thanks to Growing Places Regional Food Center for hosting the 4th stop of my statewide #EndHungerNow Tour in Gardner with @trahan.house.gov. They’re working hard to provide low income families in North Central Massachusetts with fresh, local produce.
