Why did Speaker Johnson and House Republicans send Congress home with a total government shutdown just five days away?
Every member should be in Washington working together to prevent it.

Grocery prices are climbing. Hospitals are operating on the brink. And now Donald Trump has decided to give $20 BILLION to Argentina because he likes their president.
Tell me how that will help working families here in Massachusetts.
We can’t let families lose the care they count on.
Fifteen years ago, the Affordable Care Act passed to put affordable health care in reach for millions of Americans.
Today, much of the ACA’s progress is now in danger. Without urgent action from Republicans in Congress, 22 million Americans will see their premiums skyrocket in just months.
The Trump administration just illegally handed over a Democrat’s full military record to her GOP opponent. If they’ll violate a veteran’s privacy to win an election, no servicemember’s records are safe.
This is a threat to every veteran who’s ever served their country.
Donald Trump’s One Big, Ugly Bill is slashing funding for our hospitals at the worst possible time as we continue recovering from the Steward Health crisis.
Grateful to @massgovernor.bsky.social for stepping up to ensure our community hospitals can keep their doors open and vital services online.
Wondering why everyone’s talking about Affordable Care Act premium tax credits?
The bottom line: Millions of Americans’ health care is at risk.
Nine months in power, and prices are higher and bills are bigger for working families trying to make ends meet.
But hey, at least they owned Joe Biden with this nonsense.
Donald Trump’s policies are failing families. His tariffs are driving up grocery prices and Republicans slashed SNAP.
Now he’s canceling the tools we use to track hunger in America – because he doesn’t want you to see the harm he’s causing.
I know it's hard to believe, but the Rourke Bridge replacement project is fully underway. Proud to secure the significant federal investment that finally got this started!
Expect (many) more updates like this one for this long, long overdue project!
RFK Jr. promised to find the cause of autism by September. Instead, he had Donald Trump cite a few inconclusive studies to question the safety of Tylenol.
This doesn’t advance science or protect families. It just adds confusion to our health care system.
Our law enforcement deserves the best tools to keep our communities and themselves safe.
The new state crime lab in Marlborough will do just that by strengthening investigations, delivering justice for victims, and ensuring officers have the resources they need to do their jobs.
Yesterday, I joined with Mayor Melinda Barrett to celebrate $2.4 million in federal funding to remove lead hazards from homes in Haverhill!
This historic investment will help protect kids from lifelong health issues and make housing safer for families across the city.
Democrats have always worked to keep the government open – no matter who’s in charge.
With the White House, Senate & House under GOP control, Republicans should do the same.
Trump’s refusal to meet with Democrats risks a shutdown and millions of Americans losing health care.
🍎🍯 Wishing everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah a sweet, happy and healthy new year. Shanah Tovah!
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re taking action to ensure kids battling cancer and rare diseases can receive the treatment they deserve.
My bipartisan Creating Hope Reauthorization Act will drive innovation for new treatments for children with rare pediatric diseases.
Millions of women rely on Planned Parenthood clinics for basic health care – from preventative cancer screenings to prenatal care.
Trump’s Medicaid funding cuts will put that care out of reach for millions of women, threatening their health, their safety and their families.
While Donald Trump tries to dictate what’s on late night TV shows, hardworking families are struggling with higher costs, fewer jobs and a broken economy.
Let’s be absolutely clear about this. Ending mental health screenings in school will be a disaster for our children.
There’s a mental health crisis in our nation that can’t just be swept under the rug.
Every person deserves the ability to get their kids to school, get themselves to work and get around their community safely and easily.
That’s why this investment from @massgovernor.bsky.social is so important for greater Lowell – making the LRTA more accessible for all residents.
