Shanah Tovah! 🍎🍯 Sending my warmest wishes to those celebrating Rosh Hashanah over the coming days. May the New Year be filled with happiness and hope.

When Steward walked away from Nashoba Valley, we came together—leaders in health care, government, community, labor—to chart a new path forward.    Today, UMass Memorial broke ground on a new Emergency Department where folks can access high-quality emergency care close to home.

I’m a parent and I’m the daughter of a school nurse. Keeping kids healthy and safe is important to me — it’s important to all of us. Families deserve the facts when they’re vaccinating their children. In Massachusetts, that’s what they’ll get.

To all the scientists, clinicians, innovators and investors who joined us today at #WMIF2025 — your work, talent, passion and partnership are valued more than ever. You bring hope to our families and drive our economy. Massachusetts believes in you, and I have your back.

Rachael Sirianni at @umasschan.bsky.social had to suspended her research on pediatric brain cancer because Donald Trump cut federal funding. Children fighting brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump is taking hope away from.

Happy #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! 🗳️ It’s the perfect time to check your registration, update your information or register to vote for the first time. In Massachusetts, you can register at Mass.gov/Vote.

For our veterans, recovery, stability, and the dignity they deserve all start with one thing — a place to call home. "Housing First" is working in Massachusetts. The Trump Administration needs to follow our example, not turn its back on it. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/15/o...

The promise of Massachusetts is tied to the success of our Hispanic and Latino communities. Our state is stronger because of your contributions, leadership and service. We celebrate with you — this month and always.

Happy 100th Birthday, Teddie Peanut Butter! 🥜💯   A staple in kitchens, a source of good jobs, and a proud part of Massachusetts' story and economy. To celebrate, Teddie’s is donating enough peanut butter for 100K meals to @gr8bosfoodbank.bsky.social.   Cheers to 100 more years!

Patients like Jonathan come to UMass Memorial facing scary diagnoses, and they find hope in remarkable treatments like CAR T therapy. While the Trump administration cuts funding for groundbreaking science, I want to accelerate more breakthroughs, create jobs, and save lives.

For too long, new homes have been stuck in limbo, waiting over a year just to clear environmental review. That's important — but it shouldn't take that long to get the job done. Government should move at the speed of business. That's why my plan cuts wait times to 30 days.

Each year on September 11, we honor our fallen heroes – the firefighters who gave their lives to save others at Ground Zero and all who made the ultimate sacrifice.   Today and always, we carry forward the legacy of bravery and unity of spirit they represent.

Firefighters are the ones we look to in our hardest moments – and they’re always there to answer the call.   They are the face and heart of public service, not only on days like September 11, but every day. We will never forget your strength or sacrifice.

Thinking of the families in Boston, across Massachusetts, and around the country still grieving loved ones lost on September 11. You showed us that, in the face of the unimaginable, we're strongest when we love and lean on each other. Holding you in my heat today.

Twenty-four years later, the pain of September 11, 2001 still runs deep. Today, we honor the lives lost, the families changed forever, and the heroes who answered the call. They will never be forgotten.

Violence has no place in our politics — ever. What happened to Charlie Kirk is horrific and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. The growth of political violence in our country must be stopped.

We're speeding up review times for new housing because the faster we get shovels in the ground, the faster families get to move into new, reasonably priced homes.

When it comes to building housing, saving time is saving money — for builders and for renters and buyers. By speeding up environmental reviews from a year to 30 days, we’re putting shovels in the ground faster and building more homes people can afford.

Right now, it can take a year or more to get new homes through the environmental review process. That's way too long.      So, let's speed it up. Let's make it 30 days.      We don't need to choose between protecting the environment and building more homes. We can do it all.

Students want to get a head start on college and a career while they're in high school. So, we invested in Early College and it's paying off. 66% of Early College graduates enroll in higher education — most of them at our public colleges and universities.

When I say we’re going to protect vaccine access in Massachusetts, I’m not just talking about the COVID vaccine. I’m talking about the vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella and more that keep our children healthy. It’s not political — it’s public health.

Health care is a right — and public health is a responsibility.    While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. restrict access to lifesaving vaccines, Massachusetts is stepping up to get people the science-backed care they want and need.

Donald Trump put a con man and conspiracy theorist in charge of Americans’ health. Now, RFK Jr. is trying to stop people from getting science-backed vaccines that could save their lives. I’m not going let that happen in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts is America's health leader because we believe in science-backed, evidence-based care.    I will not let Donald Trump and RFK Jr. get in between you, your doctor, and lifesaving vaccines you need.    Here's what we're doing to protect public health in our state 🧵

I don’t think measles is a souvenir anyone wants to bring home from Disney World.

No matter what happens with Trump and RFK Jr., we’re going to make sure vaccines stay available in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts: where innovation meets education! 🍎 This week, we were ranked one of America’s top states for innovation in our schools — because here, we don’t just set the bar, we raise it.

With pressures from school, friends, and social media, nearly one in five young people face a mental health diagnosis by seventeen. We’re expanding community-based care for the nearly half of Massachusetts children covered by MassHealth to get more kids the care they need.

Sold-out arenas. All-star athletes. A game-changing summer for women's sports in Massachusetts ✨

Kids need to be able to read and read well. Here in the #1 state for education, we know what works — and we’re investing in it! 📚 We put $25 million toward literacy tutoring, and it’s coming to almost 300 schools in Massachusetts this fall.

In Massachusetts, we know what we stand for — and I sure as hell know who I stand with. Happy Labor Day.

When Donald Trump’s spending his Labor Day weekend cutting jobs and driving up prices, we don’t take a day off. We take action.

This Labor Day, @governor.ny.gov, Governor Lamont, @govdanmckee.bsky.social, @govmurphy.bsky.social and I stand with union workers powering our offshore wind industry. We’re calling on the Trump Administration to keep these projects moving — for the good of our workers and Americans’ energy bills.

Happy Labor Day, Massachusetts! This morning, I’ll be marching with @gblcboston.bsky.social in Boston’s first-ever Labor Day Parade.   It’s always a beautiful day to celebrate the power of working people and the unions that represent them ☀️

Cheryl Juaire lost her sons Corey and Sean to overdoses, and founded Team Sharing to support other grieving parents.     When people see her new #OverdoseAwareness license plates on the road, she hopes they'll start conversations that break stigmas, support families, and save lives. #EndOverdose

Last year, overdose deaths in Massachusetts dropped 36% — their lowest level since 2013.     It's good news, but our work is far from over. Together with providers and advocates, we'll invest in what we know works: Narcan, test strips, recovery coaches, mobile treatment and more.

As AG and now as Governor, I've come to know many families who’ve lost a loved one to overdose.     Parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, and friends — all with people who love and cared for them. I'll never forget their stories or their heartbreak. It shapes the work we do every day.

It's Labor Day weekend, and the Trump Administration just laid off 800 construction workers.    Canceling funding for the Salem Offshore Wind Terminal doesn't just cost existing jobs. It kills jobs that could have been.

In Massachusetts, we don’t just deliver the best health care. We discover the cures, treatments and vaccines that save lives around the world. We do more than believe in science — we invest in it. And we’ll always put public health over politics.

Yesterday, I sent a letter President Trump requesting that flags be lowered to half-staff for Overdose Awareness Day. Over the past 25 years, more than a million Americans have lost their lives to overdose. We can’t look away — for all the lives lost and the ones we can still save.

The dirty, crime-ridden South Station that Donald Trump wants to take over:

Firing the CDC Director. Restricting vaccine access. Cutting billions in public health funding. Donald Trump and RFK will cost people their lives. Massachusetts protects health care and public health. And we're going to get people the vaccines they need – no matter what.

My statement on Donald Trump’s threat to take over South Station.

My heart breaks for the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis — the start of the school year shattered by another senseless, preventable act of gun violence. Praying for first responders, students, teachers and families going through the unimaginable. Children should be safe in school.

At 101, Robert ‘Boots’ Chouinard has spent a lifetime serving others as a soldier, teacher, and lifeguard. It’s only fitting that we rename Salisbury Beach’s Lifeguard Command Center in his honor. Thank you, Boots, for all the lives you’ve kept safe ❤️

Boys & Girls Clubs prove that when we invest in young people, we invest in our future. These young leaders are the next innovators, changemakers and community builders. Congratulations to Megan, Victoria, Mirembe and Argenis, Massachusetts 2025 Youth of the Year finalists!

Big things are brewing in Massachusetts! ☕️ Thrilled to hear that Keurig Dr Pepper's Global Coffee Co. will be headquartered in Burlington, Mass — fueling new jobs, innovation and opportunity for our state!

Faster trains mean shorter trips. And that means more time back in your day. The @mbta.com is making real progress.

My administration is full-steam ahead on West-East Rail — and we're closer than ever to making it a reality. We just won $3.5 million to connect Boston and Albany through Springfield. Better commutes, less congestion and a stronger economy are on the way.

Massachusetts has more high schools ranked in the top 25% than any other state — again! 🎓 Great schools don’t just happen — we invest in them. With early college to career training, we’re giving students a better shot at success beyond the classroom.
