“Here’s a better idea: If your tariff policy is so unpopular that you have to bully the central bank into not talking about it, maybe it’s time for a new policy.”

ICYMI: I joined the Spencer community to celebrate a $960,000 earmark I secured for their sewer collection systems project.
This investment will ensure families, businesses, and residents in Spencer continue to have access to safe, reliable water.

For months, Democrats warned about Republican cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Now we’re seeing the consequences.
Like hospitals across MA-01, Baystate depends on this funding to care for seniors, working families, & vulnerable residents.
Without it, jobs will be lost, & health care costs will rise.
Wishing a blessed Ash Wednesday to all who observe.
As Christians around the world mark the beginning of Lent, may this season be one of reflection and renewal.
Ramadan Mubarak to all who worship in MA-01 and around the world. May this holy month of Ramadan be filled with peace, reflection, and renewal.
Happy Lunar New Year, MA‑01! Wishing everyone happiness, good health, and prosperity in the year ahead.
As we welcome the new year, we honor the significant contributions of Asian communities throughout the country and the rich traditions that strengthen our nation.
Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to fighting for a better America.
From the Civil Rights Movement to the Affordable Care Act, he championed justice and equality, paving the way for generations of leaders who carry that work forward.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family.
If the president can sue the IRS for $10B over the disclosure of his information, these victims should too.
Chairman Smith must immediately bring Acting Commissioner Bessent before @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social to answer for this egregious violation of taxpayer privacy.

2 hours until Republicans face a choice: your wallet or bending the knee to Trump.
Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
The special bond between 🇺🇸 & 🇬🇧 reflects generations of a shared commitment to prosperity and peace.
I look forward to working with the UK’s newly appointed Ambassador to the US, Christian Turner, to preserve this partnership and unlock new opportunities for cooperation between our people.
There’s no ambiguity here. This is vile and racist.
The American people deserve better.
My full statement here: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...
Under my leadership, House Democrats paved the way for lower drug prices through negotiating.
Instead of building on that, Trump launched an all style, no substance website that's sure to benefit his own pockets without lowering your costs.
Patients need lower prices, not more smoke and mirrors.
In Massachusetts, Bay Staters spent an average of over $2,200 more during Trump's first year.
So long as this administration continues to attack health care and pursue reckless, illegal tariff policies, hardworking families will keep paying the price.
I'm proud to have secured over $14 million in Community Project Funds for MA-01.
From North Adams to Oxford, these projects will strengthen infrastructure, expand educational opportunities, and improve quality of life for families and businesses across western and central Mass.
My full statement: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...
When the IRS is at its busiest, helping workers and families file their taxes in MA and across the nation, Trump decides to drag the IRS into court in an attempt to pocket even more money from the American people.
This is his latest scheme—that Republicans are enabling—to rob America blind.
This pick is just the latest attempt at blatant politicization of the Fed that threatens the rule of law, weakens the dollar, and undermines the integrity of the country further.
President Trump—and the Republicans enabling him—are attacking the very foundation of responsible policymaking.
2/2
It’s no surprise that Trump has picked loyalist Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. Over the years, Warsh has only proven how far he will bend to appease the President. 1/
As millions of Americans are feeling the impact of SNAP cuts in Trump’s One Big, Ugly Law, I’m joining my friend and colleague @repmcgovern.bsky.social at Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen and Pantry to hear from those being hurt by these cruel and unnecessary cuts.
