Are you ready for #Halloween? The @bostonglobe.com reports how so many Halloween products - candy, costumes, accessories - have increased in cost in 2025, in large part due to the #Trump #tariff increases cause so many consumer products to be more expensive. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/25/b...

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! I’m proud to celebrate the contributions, struggles and lives of Indigenous people in #Massachusetts. I’m proud to cosponsor the Mass Indigenous Legislative Agenda (maindigenousagenda.org) & advocate for Indigenous people in my district. #mapoli

The 3 federal wildlife refuges in my district are now closed due to #governmentshutdown2025. On Saturday in #Maynard, I met w/ Friends of Woodlands & Waters, the advocacy group for the Assabet River, Oxbow & Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuges. Thinking of staff & volunteers

Yesterday at #Maynard Fest, @Fox25NewsFeed profiled Maynard High student & Girl Scout Siena Hesbach presenting AED life saving equipment to Maynard Fire Chief Lawless! Siena raised $20,000 to buy the devices! Thank Siena for this great project! #mapoli www.boston25news.com/news/local/t...

I’m very saddened to learn that my friend & colleague Senator Ed Kennedy has passed away, at the age of 74. He was deeply committed to public service, including as a Senator, #Lowell Mayor & City Councilor & Middlesex County Commissioner. He was part of what makes Lowell special

Wishing the Jewish community in my district and across Massachusetts a meaningful Yom Kippur and reflective fast

The @massdems.bsky.social #Democratic State Convention has officially begun! Wonderful to see so many colleagues, fellow Democratic State Committee members, progressive leaders, labor leaders, Democratic City/Town Cte members & activists! Thank you for all you do for #Massachusetts! #mapoli

It’s a beautiful day in Springfield for the #Democratic State Convention! It's a platform year where delegates endorse the official positions of @massdems.bsky.social. I'm supporting the amendment to restore the People's Platform, pls sign this morning & vote YES! #mapoli www.commonwealthcourage.com

Thank you!!!!

Yesterday as Senate Chair of the #cjreform caucus, I joined Prisoners Legal Services press conference to express serious concerns about @massgovernor.bsky.social’s $360 million proposal to renovate MCI-Framingham prison for incarcerated women. www.metrowestdailynews.com/story/news/l...

This week in #mapoli, we had hearings at the State House start up again. Some highlights: - Climate superfund and nuclear fusion at Environment hearing chaired by Christine Barber and @beccarausch.bsky.social. Quotes from @votesteveowens.bsky.social, @jamieeldridgema.bsky.social, and Bruce Tarr.

It is horrific that Charlie Kirk was shot & killed yesterday in Utah. I’m thinking of his family today. Violence has no place in society. Over the past 2 years, violence directed at political leaders has ramped up, which has a disproportionate impact on democracy www.newyorker.com/newsletter/t...

Disgraceful. Last week, I had the honor of attending a U.S. Naturalization ceremony in Boylston of 50 immigrants being sworn in as citizens. Next to the ceremony was #Worcester @lwvma.bsky.social, ready to register new Americans to vote. But #Trump sees only threats www.wbur.org/npr/nx-s1-55...

They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.

Happy #LaborDay! Beautiful morning in Marlborough, home of the state’s biggest Labor Day parade! Thank you to the labor unions, workers and organizers who fought and continue to fight for fair wages, economic security, good benefits & a safe working environment for all! #mapoli

“Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.” “I’m really fed up with Democratic leadership.” “I don’t want to see @schumer.senate.gov sending another strongly-worded letter.“ “I want alternate hearings; profiling a person who’s dying because their Medicaid has been stripped away.” Yes! All of this.

Wonderful to see the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in #Sudbury today, almost complete! I’m grateful to @MassDOT for its work, and selecting the BFRT as a #MassTrails 10 to encourage more visitors! Check out masstrails10.org/trail-pages/br…, and enjoy the trail! @massdot.bsky.social

85% of ICE detainees at Plymouth Co. jail are classified as "no threat." PLS has documented unacceptable conditions: solitary confinement for mental health crises, ignored medical requests, insufficient food, forced unpaid labor. When will MA stop working with with ICE? www.wbur.org/news/2025/07...

Terrific @LowellSun story on @massgovernor.bsky.social providing $10m to protect naturally-occurring affordable housing in Devenscrest neighborhood of Ayer! It's been a tough, inspiring & worthwhile grassroots battle against powerful real estate interests www.nashobavalleyvoice.com/2025/08/06/d...

Last Friday, masked #ICE agents came to #Acton, arresting a constituent of mine at his work. He has no criminal record & a pending asylum case, but that no longer matters under #DonaldTrump. TY to the brave witnesses. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social @sweetadelinevt.bsky.social

Great news, #maleg Supp budget includes $5m for Nashoba Valley communities for emergency medical response gaps, laid bare since the 2024 closure of Nashoba Valley Medical Center in #Ayer. TY to the area Fire Chiefs for leading this effort! @telegramdotcom www.telegram.com/story/news/l...

Great to see momentum build for universal healthcare for all, incl/ at the June MassCare conference in #Worcester & in #Washington w/ #singlepayer legislators joining @edmarkey.bsky.social unveil his bill to allow states to establish #MedicareForAll! #mapoli www.senatoreldridge.com/press-releas...

TRANSPARENCY VICTORY! On Friday night I was so proud to attend #ActonMass celebration of the transparency victories that are now law in the Legislature’s Joint Rules reform! I’m deeply grateful to the progressive groups that had the courage to fight for these reforms! #mapoli @actonma.bsky.social

With a high likelihood that #DonaldTrump's tariffs on most nations including major trading partners will be in effect Aug. 1st, most economists are predicting higher prices for consumers - on gas, appliances, phones, computers, TVs, clothes & coffee. @cnn-news.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/07/11/e...

Given @MassHHS Secretary Walsh’s underwhelming responses to the closure of the Nashoba Valley Medical Center, including calling it an empty community hospital, I welcome her decision to step down. Hoping new Sec. Mahaniah will focus on Central Mass more. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/11/m...

With a heavy heart, steely determination & excitement for 4th of July, I was so happy to join @RepDanSenaMA & #Harvard #Democrats in marching in the #FourthOfJuly parade! We love Harvard! Wonderful to finally have a beautiful long weekend! Don’t forget to read the Declaration of Independence #mapoli

The US Senate just passed 51-50 the Senate #Republican budget reconciliation bill that's one of the most expensive & wealth-transferring bills in US history, adding CBO-predicted $3.3 trillion in debt. Shame! CBPP June 28th statement www.cbpp.org/press/statem... #mapoli @centeronbudget.bsky.social

On Saturday, I was honored to join the National #TPS Alliance at #Boston City Hall to stand with #Massachusetts TPS holders, mostly from #ElSalvador, to oppose President Trump canceling TPS status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants. Their courage & resilience is inspiring!

Massachusetts should do everything in its power to protect patients and providers of essential health care. In response to other states’ increasing hostility to abortion and gender-affirming care, this bill builds on our state's strong protections to safeguard access.

Four years ago today, the Winthrop community tragically lost two neighbors in a violent hate crime. David Green, an Air Force veteran and state trooper, and Ramona Cooper, also an Air Force veteran, were valued neighbors who dedicated their lives to serving others and protecting this country. 1/2

.@ACLU on #SCOTUS decision around birthright citizenship is deeply chilling. While the Supreme Court decision is limited, it could allow #Trump to enforce executive order in parts of the U.S., stripping thousands of children from their rights, & sowing chaos. For what? www.aclu.org/press-releas...

As the discussions around #climateaction & #energy costs heat up on Beacon Hill, here is my June 9th Energy Costs 101 briefing with Green Energy Consumers Alliance! And FYI, @MassFiscal videotaped the whole briefing! #mapoli youtube.com/live/ZgIvWxx...

It was hot at the Better Day Adult Day Services Program Summerfest in #Marlborough tonight on Fort Meadow Reservoir! This beautiful house is home to people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and their families. Truly moved by meeting providers, volunteers & constituents! Great model!

Congrats @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on winning the NYC Mayoral primary despite establishment opposition! Strategist Rebecca Kirszner Katz argues in @nytimes essay Dems should take note that laser focus on pocket book issues & economic populism are winning messages www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

As a strong advocate for increasing government transparency, very happy that the House & Senate have ageed on major reform of the joint rules! Thank you to Majority Leaders Creem & Moran for their proposal, containing major provisions of the #SunlightAct! #mapoli senatoreldridge.com/194-sunlight-a…

#NotInMyName. I oppose the U.S. bombing & going to war with #Iran & condemn President Trump unconstitutionally launching a military attack on a nation that was not a threat to the U.S. Civilians across the Middle East are at risk, & many American military. #mapoli www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

Wonderful to kick-off Mass-Care Annual #Singlepayer Conference in #Worcester this morning, as Senate sponsor of #MedicareForAll in #Massachusetts! Grateful to all Mass-Care members committed to making #healthcare a right, and TY to Dr. @tamigouvea.bsky.social for her keynote speech! #mapoli
