From the shores of Tripoli to raising the flag over Iwo Jima to today, generations of Marines have courageously defended the rights and freedoms we cherish. As we mark 250 years of the United States Marine Corps, please join me in wishing every Marine a happy birthday!

I’m reviewing the details of the Senate deal, but from day one my focus has been clear: lowering health care costs for the American people.   Movement toward reopening the government is good, but any deal must deliver real relief for working families. This one isn’t there yet.

Families are bracing for yet another spike in health care costs. Why? It’s the direct result of Trump and House Republicans’ failed policies. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are still at the table waiting for GOPleaders to work with us to protect Americans’ health care.

Yesterday, @repmcgovern.bsky.social and I spoke with the North Central Chamber of Commerce about the issues that matter most to small businesses across the region, including their efforts to overcome higher prices caused by costly tariffs.

The Merrimack Valley Food Bank does so much to support folks in need across our region. Grateful for the opportunity to stop by and support their efforts this morning. We must restore SNAP and food bank funding immediately!

Families across Massachusetts are struggling to put food on the table as Trump ignores court orders to release critical SNAP benefits. @repmcgovern.bsky.social and I met with families who depend on food pantries to hear how they’re working to make ends meet.

The video of a violent ICE apprehension in Fitchburg is deeply disturbing. My office has been in touch with ICE to gather more information about what occurred and why, as well as the City of Fitchburg and Fitchburg PD to offer my support.

When Trump refuses to release funds for food and home heating assistance, our communities suffer – that’s why @repmcgovern.bsky.social and I met with Making Opportunity Count leaders today.

Millions of families are bracing for massive health care cost increases of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Instead of working with Democrats to stop this price hike, Trump & the GOP are refusing to protect Americans’ health care and causing the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

A year since Donald Trump was elected, and the average American family is paying $208 more every month for the exact same goods and services – the same housing, the same groceries, the same utilities. We deserve better.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s retirement marks the close of one of the most extraordinary chapters in American history. As she thanks San Francisco, the country and indeed the world thanks her. For decades, Nancy Pelosi has embodied the very best of public service.

Donald Trump and Republicans have spent the past year driving up prices, ripping health care away, and making life harder for hardworking Americans. Voters sent a message in yesterday's elections. While the GOP buries their heads in the sand, Democrats are fighting back.

First, a billionaire crypto executive turned a blind eye to money laundering and pleaded guilty. Then, he funneled billions to Trump to get a pardon. Now, Trump claims he doesn’t know who he is. They think we’re stupid.

Combined sewer overflows continue to hurt the Merrimack River – from Manchester to Lowell, Lawrence, Methuen & Haverhill all the way out to Newburyport and everywhere in between. Congress must pass my bipartisan Stop Sewage Overflow Act to upgrade our water systems and protect our rivers.

Lower prices. Protect people’s health care. If you don’t, you will lose elections.

Hardworking families are struggling with high prices everywhere they turn – the grocery store, the pharmacy, their monthly bills. Now, Trump’s tariffs are going to force them to pay more for gifts and food during the holidays. The GOP needs to get back to work and make our country affordable.

Donald Trump just announced that he is knowingly violating multiple federal court orders by refusing to release $5 BILLION in SNAP funding that families need to put food on the table this week. This will be devastating for millions of Americans.

Losing the marketplace in Mill No. 5 felt like a gut punch for so many in our community. That’s why I couldn’t be more thrilled to see the Hive Public Market up and running less than a year later – allowing small business owners to come together and thrive!

The Republican government shutdown is forcing families to their breaking point. I’m grateful to communities like Fitchburg that are stepping up to feed families, seniors and veterans. But this shouldn’t have to happen.

Families are facing higher costs everywhere they turn. Instead of taking action to lower costs, Republicans are raising the price of health care for millions of hardworking American families.

Open Enrollment is here, but even with coverage available, health care costs have skyrocketed, making it unaffordable for too many. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to make sure we lower these costs for hardworking Americans, and it’s time for the GOP to get back to work and do the same.

Setti Warren’s sudden passing is a heartbreaking loss for Massachusetts and for everyone who believes in the power of public service to change lives. He dedicated his life to serving others as a Navy veteran, the first Black mayor elected in Massachusetts, and a mentor to countless young leaders.

Week 6 of the GOP government shutdown and Republicans in Congress have been on vacation the whole time. The worst part? Speaker Mike Johnson just extended their getaway.

Donald Trump has cut off funding for SNAP and LIHEAP, programs that families rely on to keep food on the table and stay warm during the winter months. And yet he’s sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina.

Happy Halloween! Wishing everyone a fun, safe night of trick-or-treating!! 🎃

What hardworking Americans need: ✅ Affordable health care ✅ SNAP for groceries ✅ LIHEAP to keep their homes warm What we’re getting: ❌ A $300 million White House ballroom

No patient should ever have to fear abuse in the exam room. So many brave women have come forward after being abused by their physician – and we’re working to ensure it never happens again.

#TeamTrahan carved out a win at this year’s Pumpkin Bash! Each pumpkin supports Imagine an Answer to Kids’ Brain Cancer and their mission to end pediatric brain cancer. Let’s keep fighting for kids and families who need life-saving care most.

Open enrollment starts on Saturday, and millions of Americans are starting to see how much their health care prices are going to skyrocket. Republicans could have prevented this. Instead, they refused.

If you already bought candy for Halloween, you’ve likely seen Donald Trump’s tariffs at work. Higher prices for the same stuff. Talk about scary!

South Gardner’s Revitalization Project is a major win for our community, as it invests $1.5 million to create safer streets, support small businesses, and help attract new investments. Great news for families and local businesses who call Gardner home!

The people responsible for keeping planes in the sky and all of us safe on the ground shouldn’t be pawns in the GOP government shutdown. Air traffic controllers are doing their jobs. It’s time for the Republicans to do theirs.

A great recap of an even better event. Thank you to Scouting America’s Spirit of Adventure Council for honoring Joe Hungler, Maria Gonzalez Moeller and me with this year’s Good Scout Awards.

No matter how much Republicans try to spin this, health care prices are set to skyrocket for millions of Americans. The time to act is NOW.

Our hearts are with our vibrant Caribbean communities in Massachusetts – especially those with loved ones in Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic – as Hurricane Melissa moves through the region.

It’s an honor to be named one of this year’s Scouting America Merrimack Valley Good Scout awardees, especially alongside community leaders like Joe Hungler and Maria Gonzalez Moeller who have dedicated their lives to supporting our community!

Food banks are getting hit from all sides. The Republican government shutdown is forcing more folks to turn to food pantries for help, but Donald Trump cut the federal programs that support their work. Families and food banks like Lazarus House in Lawrence deserve better.

Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs are devastating American families and businesses. Why aren’t Republicans screaming from the rooftops about this? Why aren’t they working with Democrats to stop it. All it takes is a vote.

Millions of Americans will see their premiums double or triple if Republicans if Congress doesn’t act. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to help families afford their coverage.

Donald Trump promised to put America First. Since he took office, he’s done the opposite.

From classrooms to labs, Massachusetts leads in education and innovation! It’s great to see @massgovernor.bsky.social investing $5.4 million in STEM education for students across Massachusetts. Our students are our future!

I met with Jacinta, a hardworking mom of two, who lost her MassHealth coverage after a small pay raise. Programs like Head Start and Medicaid change lives, but Republicans are fighting to cut them. I’ll keep standing up to protect families like hers.

American families are paying more and getting less. It’s time for Donald Trump to end his reckless tariffs and work with Democrats to drive down prices on health care, groceries and other daily expenses.

Is this really what Donald Trump is doing during a federal government shutdown? Donald Trump is tearing down part of the White House to build a lavish ballroom while millions of Americans worry if they’ll be able to heat their home, afford their rent and provide health care for their kids.

Nothing matters more to me than hearing directly from you, and I had the chance to do just that in Fitchburg this weekend!

Donald Trump is sending $40 billion to Argentina. His administration is buying luxury private jets. And they’re wining and dining tech billionaires who just received a massive tax cut to build a lavish ballroom at the White House.

The Merrimack Valley gas explosions showed what happens when safety takes a backseat to profits. @markey.senate.gov and I are fighting to make sure communities like ours are never put at risk again. Yesterday was an important step forward!

22 days since Republicans shut down the government and left for vacation. Now, families are about to lose the SNAP benefits they need to put food on the table. Groceries and health care are expensive enough. Americans don't need another GOP price hike.

Argentinian beef instead of U.S. cattle. A Qatari military base on U.S. soil. Anyone else wondering what happened to America First?

Millions of families are facing a Republican health care crisis. Every day that Donald Trump and GOP leaders stall, every day that they choose partisan games over governing, they are gambling with people’s health and financial security.
