Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Thank you @RepThomasMassie for pointing out how GOP leadership cares more about playing political games & scoring points with MAGA than solving actual problems.

Ultra-rich people are able to scam the system and pay next to nothing in federal taxes. It’s wrong, and Democrats won’t back down until everyone pays their fair share.

Green Fields Market is the only grocery store in walking distance to downtown Greenfield. Now, they’re hoping to expand to a larger building with the space to offer more locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables. As I told those in the room, I’m all in!

Our criminal justice system is broken, but the Liberal Arts for Returning Citizens program at @ClarkUniversity is a beacon of hope, giving those who were formally incarcerated the chance to take free college classes. Congrats to their students who worked so hard this semester!

I applaud @USDANutrition ’s new school meal nutrition standards, broadening their commitment to serve our students healthy, good-tasting food. This is a step in the right direction, making it easier for schools to serve locally produced and culturally appropriate meals.

My friend Donald Payne, Jr. was a man who respected his colleagues and respected Congress as an institution. He was decent and kind—he stood up for his district when it mattered, and he fought hard for those who struggled. I will miss him.

Food heals. It can save lives. And save taxpayer money. I joined @TuftsNutrition ’s second annual Food is Medicine National Summit to spread the word: let’s better integrate nutrition in our healthcare system!

Worcester is home to one of the oldest Armenian communities in the U.S. I stand in solidarity with them and with Armenians around the world in solemn remembrance of the more than 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children whose lives were taken during the #ArmenianGenocide .

Veterans deserve the very best our nation has to offer, and that includes safe, stable housing. I plan on working closely with the nonprofit Clear Path to help them transform an old convent in Leominster into housing and supportive services for veterans who are unhoused.

In Leominster, I learned about the fantastic work the South Middlesex Opportunity Council is doing to tackle homelessness. I will do everything I can to support their latest effort to convert a former motel into permanent supportive housing for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Apple growers in New England face a unique set of challenges—a single approach to insuring their crops often means small farms get left behind.   It was a pleasure to work with you on behalf of our farmers, @SenatorShaheen . Nothing beats their fresh, local fruits and vegetables.

. @RepMcGovern and I successfully halted a proposed @usdaRMA apple crop insurance policy that would've hurt New England growers. Now, we’re urging the agency to continue to work with growers and ensure their concerns are taken into account when designing crop insurance policies.
