I wish all people would understand that the world is not a zero-sum game. In a zero-sum scenario, one person's gain is another's loss, but this perspective doesn't apply to human rights and the freedom to pursue happiness.

Missing my #SvenPals but always with you in spirit. Hope you're enjoying "Duel". It's dated, but it's cautionary tale still lands. We're all just one choice away from disaster on any given day. #Svengoolie

Not enough people are talking about this: Today, the Senate has one last chance to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire. I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.

Heather Cox Richardson offers the most lucid explanation(s) of the way Trump and his cronies are taking a hammer to our beautiful America. Get her daily letter wherever you get your podcasts.

A Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would be a five-alarm antitrust fire. Not to mention it's backed by a who's who of Trump buddies and foreign money. The government's review of any deal needs to be based on the law and facts — not who sucked up the most to Donald Trump.

In Massachusetts and across the country, the Trump admin is turning the pursuit of the American Dream into an American Nightmare. This is wrong, this is immoral, and this is exactly why we must continue to fight back against Trump’s racist anti-immigrant agenda.

Republicans are trying to turn the Arctic Refuge into a gas station for Big Oil. No more drilling, no more disgrace. Our public lands belong to the people—not polluters. youtube.com/shorts/xG33E...

Students want to leave high school with the skills to manage their money — so they don’t take on debt before they’re ready. Our framework for high school graduates would make financial literacy and financial aid part of every student’s path to graduation 💸

Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Union Pacific Railroad. They all shoveled money to Trump's ballroom — and could win big from friendly treatment from the admin on active antitrust deals and lawsuits. Is this bribery in plain sight? I'm pressing for answers.

Since 1991, the hepatitis B vaccine has cut pediatric infections by 99%. It’s safe and it works — saying otherwise puts our children in danger. Here in Massachusetts, our Department of Public Health is led by a doctor, guided by science, and still strongly recommends hep B shots for newborns.

My statement on RFK’s handpicked vaccine advisors’ decision to abandon longstanding guidance on hepatitis B vaccine for newborns.

It's the tone of "GOOD AFTERNOON" that makes it an insult. #ThatMeansYouHaveBeenScrooged

While RFK uses the federal government to spread conspiracies, we’re sticking with science. Vaccines save lives. No matter what happens in Washington, you’ll be able to get them in Massachusetts.

Being #1 in education means Massachusetts is always pushing to be better for our kids. That's why we're investing in: 💼 Career pathways 🛠️ Career technical education 📚 Early college And why we're setting strong statewide graduation standards that mean real readiness after high school.

The CDC’s vaccine panel is meeting. RFK Jr. is on a mission to make measles great again.

Trump is turning our highways into corridors of surveillance. @homelandcbp.bsky.social is using license plate cameras to track our movements. This isn’t about safety. It’s about targeting vulnerable communities and I’m demanding it stop. youtube.com/shorts/8ifEe...

Massachusetts Renters, stay warm this winter. It's your right.

Did you get this notification recently? That’s our office working to make sure you know where your money is going. Our junk fee regulations are increasing transparency and keeping more money in Massachusetts residents’ pockets.

Turns out that lady did not give birth to a 13 pound baby; it was actually a trucker who mistook her vagina for the Holland tunnel. #SNLJokeOff

At Thanksgiving tables around the country, the question being asked is, " Why is our country so dysfunctional?". Our forefathers never thought we would have to protect ourselves from the president. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBluein2026

Trump Imposes 100% Tax On Movies Where Slaves Escape

Thank you Canada 🇨🇦!

“Lucky”? Health care is being ripped away, grocery prices are up, and power bills are surging. The reality is families are feeling squeezed. Trump won’t even admit there’s a problem. Americans deserve the truth — and real plans to lower costs.

Trump is rolling out the red carpet for offshore oil and gas—which will inevitably spill into the ocean and increase costs at home. Trump is doing this while sabotaging offshore wind, the energy source that does the exact opposite. He’s not “unleashing American energy”—he’s underwriting Big Oil.

Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes. Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it. Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers. This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground. Red Lobster, Toys "R" Us, and Joann Fabrics. Who’s next?
