During my visit to the Central Massachusetts Veterans Support Inc. food pantry, Anne Marie told me they’re seeing a “drastic increase” among veterans and active-duty service members. Some in Washington are cutting nutrition assistance & leaving our veterans behind. It’s shameful.

After bravely serving our country, many of our veterans can't even afford food. Today, I helped stock the shelves at the Central Massachusetts Veterans Support Inc. food pantry in Millbury. It’s essential that we help those who've already given us so much.

Nancy Pelosi is unquestionably the most consequential Speaker of the House of Representatives in American history. My full statement on her decision to retire after a profound career in public service.

There’s a special place in Hell for people who rip food away from hungry children.

Turns out it’s not very popular to shut down the government when you control everything, double people’s healthcare costs, raise grocery bills with price-hiking tariffs, protect pedophiles, bulldoze the White House & starve out 40+ million Americans including hungry kids.

Trump just admitted that he’s weaponizing hunger—defying a court order & starving more than 40 million Americans (including 16 million CHILDREN) for sadistic political leverage. This guy is sick in the head.

Another shameless lie. Trump’s own lawyers at USDA posted (then deleted) the guidance below that SNAP continues during a shutdown. Can someone ask him to explain why he disagrees with Trump’s own lawyers?

Republicans give every tax break & giveaway they can think of to greedy billionaires and then tell Americans we have to pick between food & healthcare. It’s a false choice and I reject it.

I’ve never heard him express this level of compassion for the survivors of Epstein's disgusting crimes. Really tells you who he feels more at home with.

This is how politicians talk when they don’t have a plan.

Hungry kids can’t eat because Trump is illegally withholding nutrition assistance. But the good news is you can now tour the White House Hole where the East Wing used to be.

So unbelievably freakish & out of touch. These guys don’t live on the same planet as you & me.

Don't worry, America. When you're in line at the grocery store and the cashier is ringing you up, and your food costs an extra 50 bucks because of Trump's tariffs, just tell them "no, you're wrong."

Imagine hating poor people so much that not only do you cancel their food assistance, but you also go after the grocery stores that are trying to help them in a time of dire need.

For the record, nothing prevents the House of Representatives from meeting during a shutdown. Johnson could call the House back whenever he wants, swear in Grijalva, pass appropriations bills, advance other legislation... Instead he's given Republicans a 7 week paid vacation.

Trump is the first president in American history to cancel food assistance for hungry families. Cruelty will be his legacy.

Wall Street is doing great because they’re screwing over working folks. When was the last time this “trickle down economics” bullshit worked for ANYONE except the rich & powerful?

While you’re struggling to put food on the table & pay for healthcare, Trump is focused on yet another home renovation project. He’s auditioning for Property Brothers while you can’t pay your rent.

People can't pay their bills. No one gives a f*** what your bathroom looks like.

Yikes! House Republicans, led by Lazy Mike, haven't been in Washington for SIX WEEKS. He might want to sit this one out.

Fantastic to be in Athol for the groundbreaking of The Residences at the Park—a new affordable housing community. I secured $1 million in federal funding for nonprofit NewVue to make this a reality. Every American deserves affordable housing & projects like these make it happen.

Local food pantries are essential—especially as Trump illegally rips away food assistance from millions of families. I was honored to be at the ribbon cutting for the renovation of the Food Pantry at Pernet Family Health Service. Their work is so critical during these challenging times.

In world history, the politicians who use food as a political weapon are never the good guys.

The Trump administration's own legal experts know they can use the contingency fund for November SNAP benefits. They're choosing not to because taking food from 42 million Americans is apparently acceptable to them.

Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires. Now they're illegally withholding food assistance from 42 million Americans. They found money for billionaire donors & hedge fund managers. They just refuse to find it for hungry kids & seniors.

Trump is illegally suspending November food assistance payments for 42 million Americans, including 16 million American children, 8 million American seniors and 1.2 million American veterans. Hard to explain how taking food away from hungry Americans is "America First."

Trump continues to violate the rights of our immigrant community. I hosted a Know Your Rights roundtable in Leominster with @massago.bsky.social @trahan.house.gov to make sure folks understand their constitutional protections. America is a nation of immigrants & we must stand with them.

Trump is a lousy president & a lousy human being. Republicans in Congress know this—but they’ve all fallen in line. It’s outrageous & pathetic.

Healthcare premiums will skyrocket because Trump refuses to extend tax credits. Poor kids & working families will go hungry because he's illegally canceling SNAP. He can feed kids & lower healthcare costs TODAY, but he’d rather use you as political leverage. A lousy president & a lousy person.

Trump can find $40 billion to bail out Argentina, but can’t find it in his heart to help millions of hungry Americans. I spoke with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com about how Republicans are illegally cancelling nutrition assistance & using hungry families as sick political leverage.

JD Vance grew up on nutrition assistance provided by the federal government. Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from millions of hungry kids growing up in poverty. Pulling the ladder up when you reach the top is not the American way. He should be ashamed.

Trump’s tariffs are a nightmare for working families this Halloween 🎃 🍫 Candy is up 11% 🧛‍♀️ Costumes up 13% 🕸️ Decorations up 11% Everything costs more—because Trump’s economy works for billionaires, not you.

'He's a lousy president and a lousy human being': House Dem torches Trump for threats to food aid www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Massachusetts won’t roll over while Republicans play cruel political games with hungry families. I stand with AG Campbell in fighting this administration’s illegal attempt to rip away food from those in need. People are counting on us to fight for them. And we must.

What the hell is wrong with these people?!

Trump’s own lawyers said emergency funding must be used for nutrition assistance during a shutdown. USDA just deleted that memo & is now planning to illegally cancel SNAP. Republicans are using hungry families as political leverage. It’s disgusting.

It’s not a joke. Republicans in Congress have totally given up on being a separate and coequal branch of government. Mike Johnson has shrunk himself so much and made himself so irrelevant and trivial that the only joke is him.

I’m horrified and outraged by reports coming out of Sudan that RSF (Rapid Support Forces) fighters are going from house to house in El Fasher and murdering civilians. Here's my full statement:

Republicans in Congress quiet quit their jobs. They have not shown up to vote since September 19th. They’ve only worked 14 days since July. It is unbelievably lazy and disgraceful. Mike Johnson needs to get them back on a plane to DC to do their damn jobs!

The Speaker of the House had to tell the President of the United States that he can’t seek an unconstitutional third term. That should frighten everyone. Trump is telling us what he wants to do. We better listen & be prepared to stop him. If we don’t, we won’t have a country anymore.

If this doesn’t convince you that Trump is for his fellow billionaire elites—and not for you—I don’t know what else will.

Republicans in Congress are taking an indefinite vacation & relinquishing their power to a wannabe king. Without a Congress, we’re living in a dictatorship—not a democracy.

Reminder that House Republicans have worked 14 days since July, passed 3 of 12 appropriations bills through the House, and shut down the government while they control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Republicans talk about their “clean” continuing resolution… It was “clean” before Trump ignored the law and obliterated programs that Congress authorized & appropriated money for. That’s what would “continue” under their CR.

We need to start talking about the fact that Mike Johnson has basically abolished the House of Representatives. He has made himself irrelevant and pointless, shrinking the speakership so much that his role has become a pathetic echo of what it used to be. How sad.

You’re a hedge fund manager who rents farmland to soybean farmers. You’re profiting off their hard work while sipping champagne with billionaire elites & kissing Donald Trump’s boots. You haven’t earned the title of “farmer” you hack.

President: Republican Senate: Republican Majority House: RepublicanMajority And how exactly are Democrats “in charge,” Lazy Mike? If we were, the country wouldn’t be in this f***ing mess.

Trump: Our history is being erased! We have to replace the statues of racist confederate generals! Also Trump: *Tears down the entire East Wing of the White House with a bulldozer.* It’s not about history. It’s about hate.

“Soybean Farmer”

Reminder that instead of releasing the Epstein Files, Donald Trump released George Santos. Criminals protecting criminals.
