Hold the line

I wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for holding the line on the CR. As you can see from the Tuesday elections, so many are behind you and it matters! A "promise" to address healthcare down the line is not enough. We need Democrats to stay united and keep fighting. That is what’s giving us

Thank you for continuing to oppose the GOP budget. The government shutdown is excruciating, it's true. I hate the pain it's causing Americans. But the Republican budget is worse. Let them bear the pain of the shutdown and their policies. Continue using this filibuster, and every other tool at your d

Breadlines and Bombs: Trump’s Golden Palace and His Unauthorized Wars

America now lives in a split-screen reality — breadlines on one side, bombs on the other. While millions of families brace for the loss of food aid, while federal workers go unpaid, while SNAP benefits expire in defiance of a court order, Donald J. Trump celebrates his new $300 million White House

Citizen Proposal For Healthcare

Obamacare is failing Massachusetts. Premiums doubled since 2010, deductibles hit $8,200, and 90% of plans tie workers to jobs.
