Thank you to my constituents who’ve raised concerns with the climate and energy bill. I share your concerns and have been advocating to House Leaders to stop this bill from coming to a vote this week. I’m pleased to report our collective advocacy is making a difference. We can’t retreat on climate!

This spending bill is a fundamental betrayal of the people, and I voted NO. Shame on every member of Congress who voted to deny a child their medication or to tear away life-saving cancer treatment. The people deserve so much better, and this fight isn't over.

The City of Cambridge marked Veterans Day with a moving ceremony and keynote speech by Army Veteran Keven Lambert. It was my honor to attend this event and be in community with constituents and colleagues this morning. Thank you to all who serve our country. 🇺🇸

Congratulations to Ayah Al-Zubi on becoming the youngest member ever elected to the Cambridge City Council. Hats off to Ayah, her volunteers and campaign team, the dem socialist movement, and especially to the voters of Cambridge who sent her to the council on the first round of counting this week!

With @benjiwheeler.bsky.social at his victory party in East Somerville last night. I got to know Ben over the course of the campaign — and people who’ve known him for years kept telling me he’s the real deal! I was proud to endorse him and am excited to work with him on social housing and more! 🎉

Congratulations Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — proud to campaign for you and meet with you in Queens last week. Congratulations to the democratic socialist movement and to the people of NYC. Let’s now make the affordability agenda happen not just in the Big Apple but everywhere in the USA.

Tonight's Dem victories show we’re a big tent party that wins when we fight for the people—affordability, healthcare, & democracy. Grateful for every candidate, organizer, & voter. I feel so hopeful & resolved to keep defending our communities & governing like lives depend on it, because they do.

Proud to stand with the next mayor of Somerville, Jake Wilson, at his victory party at La Brasa in East Somerville this evening! @jake4somerville.bsky.social

Here in East Somerville with Somerville for Palestine where the early numbers for the Palestine Solidarity ballot question are looking very positive. I was proud to endorse a Yes vote on Question 3 and to support the incredible efforts of this grassroots campaign.

Out at the polls and proud to once again stand alongside David Weinstein in his campaign for re-election to the Cambridge School Committee. Polls close at 8 pm in Cambridge and Somerville today — please be sure to vote if you haven’t done so already!

Interview clip w/ @channel5bluesky.bsky.social outside the rally in Queens last week; asked about the reasons for Zohran’s popularity, I said his campaign is building on the Bernie movement by standing up for the things Democrats have always said they believe in but that we have to fight harder for…

Knocking doors today with @votejivan.bsky.social and @votealzubi.com and stopping to say hello to all the dogs 🐶 be sure to vote by November 4th 🗳️

Come join me and @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social this morning, Sennott Park at 10 am! (make sure you check your clocks!)

Knocking doors in Somerville Ward 2 (pct 1A) in support of Ilana Krepchin, a dedicated and strong voice for students, teachers, and families. Ilana is proudly endorsed by the Somerville Educators Union and has been a leader on the School Committee. Be sure to return your ballot or vote on Tuesday! 🗳️

@mikeconnollyma.bsky.social is our OG democratic socialist state rep, and his leadership continues to pave the way for a rising cadre of bold leftist leaders changing the status quo on Beacon Hill. I am so grateful for his support in our race for Cambridge City Council.

This Halloween evening, more than 1.1 million people across Massachusetts are facing the potential loss of SNAP benefits. This is a crisis of Trump’s making — read more about what I’m doing to advocate and where you can offer or get help in Cambridge and Somerville, here on my blog:

Ran into my state rep Big Mike Connolly while early voting this morning!

Incredible weekend campaigning for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the affordability agenda. Thank you, Zohran, for building the movement to make buses fast and free, to win universal childcare and a rent freeze — and for being a nice guy. This is the most hopeful moment since before the pandemic!

Out here in Queens canvassing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the affordability agenda. Looking forward to the rally at Forest Hills Stadium with Bernie and AOC this evening! 🙌🏻

Clean Elections are at the core of our vision for leftist politics — so I was excited to testify this week before the Joint Committee on Election Laws in support of legislation I filed to allow for public financing of municipal elections. Thank you @votejivan.bsky.social for working with me on this.

Tonight at 7 pm, MassDOT will host a virtual design public hearing to review the plans for the Mystic River Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge. I am very proud of the work we’ve done with my local colleagues to advocate for state funding to construct this bridge with a newly-designed 18-foot width.

No Kings on Boston Common yesterday was incredible — so many creative signs and costumes, powerful speeches, and some great musical performances. Thank you to everyone who organized, who showed up, and who said hi! #NoKings

Out here at the #NoKings demonstration on Boston Common this afternoon. ✊

👍 Somerville: Vote YES on the new Charter! Every single elected official and candidate agrees.

Somerville Kills Big Money Bid To Remove Boycott Measure From Ballot: A committee backed by the ADL and a resigned city councilor tried, and failed, to invalidate signatures needed to get the measure on the ballot horizonmass.news/2025/10/09/s... #politics #SomervilleMA #Gaza #democracy

Excellent Town Hall Meeting in Porter Square last night in support of making big corporations pay their fair share in taxes. As State Representative, I’m proud to always be on the forefront of efforts to #TaxTheRich and address today’s unprecedented wealth and income inequality.

Thank you to Senators Will Brownsberger, Sal DiDomenico, Cindy Friedman, and Pat Jehlen and Rep. Mike Connolly for joining us! Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven was here earlier. #mapoli

My statement on the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7th attack carried out by Hamas in Israel:

msm won't pick this up, but big WIN for Palestine solidarity in Somerville, MA this morning. @marisakabas.bsky.social Elections Commission rejects big money play to remove Palestine Solidarity measure from our November ballot. State rep @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social breaks it down.

This morning, I submitted this testimony to the Somerville Board of Election Commissioners — asking them to overrule the anti-democratic objections to the Palestine Solidarity ballot question — and to proceed with placing the question on the municipal ballot today.

i love having @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social as my rep-- I can bug him about issues but I also know he is already a cosponsor of all the progressive bills, etc.

It’s October 3, 2025 — and you know what that means — the album everyone has been waiting for is finally out! It’s the 30th anniversary super deluxe remastered reissue of Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? 🎸💿😎✌🏼

Woke up feeling blue about the Sox game — but then I remembered we have a chance to make big corporations pay more of their fair share of taxes in Massachusetts — and I perked right up! Proud to speak in favor of closing offshore tax loopholes and my bill to establish a tired corporate minimum tax.

The Cambridge City Council voted unanimously to initiate the process of increasing mixed-income housing in the city — a goal that is unlikely to come to fruition until at least 2026. Diego García Moreno & Summer E. Rose report.

Thank you to @rbreich.bsky.social for reposting my recent newsletter to his blog! I’m so proud of the efforts Somerville residents have made to defend our immigrant neighbors. Magdaleno had a bail hearing today and his GoFundMe has now raised over $28k. 🙏 robertreich.substack.com/p/how-a-sanc...

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

@mikeconnollyma.bsky.social Thank you Mike for coming to Cambridge City Council and endorsing the social housing policy order — we’re going to see this happen!!

Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social for sharing @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social's story #SanctuaryCommunity ❤️ robertreich.substack.com?utm_source=n...

My latest newsletter is out: “Responding to a surge of unlawful ICE activity in Somerville.” Collectively, we identified and located the man abducted by federal agents — his name is Magdaleno Pineda Avelar. More here, including how you can help support his legal defense!

Trump and ICE are terrorizing Black & brown families, abducting our neighbors off the street, & putting our constituents at risk. For folks like Luiz and so many others, my office will continue conducting oversight & standing with our immigrant neighbors. www.boston.com/news/local-n...

State Rep. @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social "I believe we have to be concerned at the potential for this work to be weaponized or politicized in a way that many Jews say they fear could make them ultimately less safe."

Pleased to welcome my constituent Adriana Lafaille to the State House for Latino Excellence on the Hill. Adriana is an immigrant from Brazil, a graduate of Harvard Law, and a staff attorney with the ACLU where she works on immigrants’ rights issues. Thank you, Attorney Lafaille, for all that you do!

Shanah Tovah to all my friends and constituents who are celebrating and observing the Jewish New Year this week 🍎 🍯 📯

68 hours after his unlawful detention (abduction) in East Somerville, we have concluded my constituent Magdaleno Pineda Avelar is being held at Plymouth County Correctional Center… 🧵 1/5

For the past 53 hours we have been trying to identify the man who was racially-profiled and abducted by ICE agents in East Somerville this past Saturday — his family and co-workers have now come forward to identify him as Magdaleno Pineda Avelar. More here: www.cambridgeday.com/2025/09/20/s...

We've updated our story on Saturday's Ice abductee from East Somerville with a name given by several community members to us and to state representative @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social: Magdaleno Pineda Avelar, “A deeply loved person by all who have met him." #Somerville #CambMA
