Huge thanks to Community Servings' David Waters & Tufts University’s Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian for always bringing attention to the importance of nutrition in public health & supporting my bipartisan Medically Tailored Meals legislation. Now is the time to make it happen!

America’s public health programs must cover medically tailored meals

When you prescribe the nourishing meals that people require, they get healthier — and the system spends less.

Dreamers have built their lives in America. For many, it’s the only home they’ve ever known. They’ve gone to school, built careers, raised families, paid taxes & strengthened our communities. They deserve citizenship—not deliberate processing delays & unwarranted deportations.

When we invest in early childhood education, we build stronger communities & a brighter future. That's why I'm proud to have delivered $5M in federal funding with @warren.senate.gov & @markey.senate.gov for a new learning center at the #MetroWestYMCA — helping every kid get a fair shot at success!

What’s the return policy? We don’t want it.

Rubio on Trump's White House UFC fight on his birthday: "It's a gift to the American people."

El futuro de Colombia debe ser decidido únicamente por el pueblo colombiano, no por políticos estadounidenses que intentan influir en las elecciones de otro país. Veinte miembros del Congreso exigen a EEUU que respete la soberanía colombiana. Lea nuestra declaración aquí:

The future of Colombia should be decided by the Colombian people alone—not by American politicians trying to tip the scales or interfere in another country’s elections. 20 Members of Congress are calling on the U.S. to respect Colombian sovereignty. Read our statement here:

In 2018, Elon Musk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income. He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve. Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.

They're ripping his name off the building as we speak. Hallelujah.

I’m proud America is co-hosting this year’s #WorldCup. It should be a moment of global unity. Instead Trump is denying entry to referees & athletes from countries he doesn’t like. I want the world to know: most Americans don’t think like him. This is not who we are.

1/2 Nehls: Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a hundred years. He was born a very special baby. I bet the doctors said, “I can tell this is a very special baby.”

Should we spend a reported $100 BILLION on a reckless, illegal war of choice… …or should we cancel more than half the medical debt in this country? Trump made his choice. What’s yours?

Someone who says they “love inflation” ought to get out of Mar-a-Lago and walk down mainstreet.

Explosive new reporting shows how desperate the White House is to cover up the truth about Trump & Jeffrey Epstein. Why would they freak out if they have nothing to hide? I think we all know the answer.

MacFarlane: What do you think your constituents think about this slush fund? McGovern: They think Trump is a corrupt son of a bitch who doesn’t give a shit about them.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 10(source)

In just over 100 days, our government has burned through a reported $100 BILLION on Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran. With that money, we could cancel more than half the medical debt in the U.S. Trump has plenty of $$$ for defense contractors. Nothing to make healthcare more affordable.

Please send this man to every Congressional district with this winning message.
