  1. Healthcare is a human right. That’s why health centers like the Family Health Center of Worcester are vital to the well-being of all our people. I’m grateful for the staff and volunteers who do incredible work ensuring that folks receive the care they deserve.

  2. Today marks 80 years since the bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki–yet the horrific memory of nuclear conflict is burned into our memories. On this solemn day, in Worcester, our community came together to call for a world without nuclear weapons.

  3. He taught his sons to love America—raising 3 Marines.

    His thanks? Violent arrest. Thrown into horrific ICE detention.

    Trump’s thugs aren’t going for the "worst of the worst." They're going after our families, friends & neighbors.

    I won’t stand by. I’ll stand in the way.

  6. Because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, nearly 300k folks in Massachusetts are expected to lose healthcare. I’ll fight like hell to overturn these outrageous cuts–the folks who get treated across the Commonwealth deserve nothing less. www.telegram.com/story/opinio...
