Congratulations to Jonah on winning MA-01's @CongressionalAC! His innovative app, "Health Advocate," helps users prepare for medical appointments and deliver better patient outcomes. I look forward to welcoming Jonah to D.C. later this year. www.berkshireeagle.com/news/souther...
2/ As we reflect on his work, we’re reminded that the fight for civil rights is ongoing. Today, let us all recommit to the principles of equality, dignity, and justice that Dr. King championed, as we work to build a more perfect union.
1/ On this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King, whose vision continues to guide our nation. His moral courage, his belief in the power of community, and his unwavering commitment to justice have long inspired my own journey in Congress.
President Trump continues his illegal tariff policies that do nothing but raise your prices. This time, he’s targeting our longtime allies for failing to hand over Greenland. His feckless leadership is hurting working families and undermining our standing on the world stage.
BREAKING: Trump says eight European countries will be charged a 10% tariff for opposing U.S. control of Greenland.
2/ As millions of Americans are losing their health care, these reckless cuts would have further weakened our nation's health care system, putting lives at risk. This should have never happened in the first place.
1/ Yesterday, I heard from organizations across MA-01 that provide critical mental health and addiction treatment, all scrambling after the Trump administration abruptly cut funding. Hours later, the administration quietly reversed this decision after public backlash.
Breaking News: A day after the Trump administration said it was cutting $2 billion in mental health funding, it reversed itself and reinstated the money.
2/ That's why I joined my Democratic colleagues in writing to Secretary Noem and Acting Director Lyons, calling for a thorough and independent investigation.
1/ The President calling the shooting of Renee Good “justified” before any investigation is conducted, and especially in light of the egregious footage that was made public, is disrespectful to the victim’s family and an affront to due process.
More than 1.4 million Americans opted out of their health insurance because Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits before the end of the year. House Democrats forced a vote. We did our part to keep health care affordable and accessible. It's now up to the Senate.
Breaking News: About 1.4 million fewer people have enrolled in Obamacare coverage this year in the face of soaring premiums. That number could increase significantly.
Trump continues to target the independent Chair of the Federal Reserve, AND his own appointee, for following the data and doing right by the American people. Now he’s weaponizing the Justice Department against him. Getting his way matters more than your wallet or economic stability. Pathetic.
The first year of Trump 2.0 has proven to be the worst year for jobs outside of a recession since 2003. Trump has made clear his indifference to lowering costs and creating jobs. But that only strengthens our resolve to keep fighting for the people.
JUST IN: The US economy added just 50,000 jobs in December, capping off one of the weakest years of job gains in decades. https://cnn.it/3Z40dWN
This is a good day for the American family. After Democrats forced a vote, the House passed an extension of the ACA tax credits to keep health care accessible & affordable for millions of Americans. I urge the Senate to consider this bill immediately, ensuring no American goes without coverage.
Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
Republicans and Donald Trump spent all of their legislative might this year cutting taxes for billionaires. Now everyone else is left with higher costs, fewer choices, and an economy that doesn’t work for them.
Almost a year of Republicans in complete control: > Unemployment at its highest since 2021 > Nearly no jobs added since April > US manufacturing has been shrinking for 9 months > Households are paying an extra ~$1,200 for tariffs > Layoffs happening in nearly every sector
The Trump Administration was working behind the scenes to kick thousands of older workers with disabilities off Social Security. We fought back and they backed off. This is why we fight to protect Social Security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
