This stunt is projected to cost taxpayers $2 billion. That’s twice as much as what we spend on veteran suicide prevention. Priorities.

Trump says he doesn’t “want to hear about affordability.” But I do.

Building ballrooms is his greatest strength. Running the country & lowering costs? Not so much.
He should have stuck to tacky home renovations.

Republicans took an 8-week paid vacation—then came back to screw working people.
They voted against feeding hungry kids & lowering healthcare costs. But don’t worry—they voted in favor of Trump’s $40B Argentina bailout.
Corrupt. Cruel. Cowardly.

Republicans thought they could get away with sneaking a massive slush fund for pro-insurrectionist senators into their corrupt funding package.
They’re giving themselves a million dollar payday while hiking your healthcare costs.

See those 8 empty seats? That’s where Republicans should have been sitting.
But they didn’t even have the decency to debate us while taking healthcare away from millions of people after they shoveled tax break after tax break to billionaires.
Lazy, heartless & cruel.

Great to be in Worcester for the 50th anniversary celebration of The Cultural Center Hrisohorafiton—an incredible organization dedicated to preserving Greek heritage in our community. Wishing them another 50 years of cultural exchange, education, and community building!

Today I joined @trahan.house.gov & the United Way of North Central Massachusetts to hear directly from local food pantries and service providers about how Trump is making hunger worse in North Central MA.
Food should be a fundamental right this country!

While too many in Washington want to demonize poor people, I’m proud that here in Massachusetts, groups like Making Opportunity Count are rallying our community in support of those in need. Great roundtable w/ @trahan.house.gov & other local leaders to discuss their work today.

There's something wrong with our country when on the same day that Elon Musk gets paid a trillion dollars, the Trump administration appeals a federal court order that requires them to fully fund nutrition assistance for poor people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
