While Donald Trump drives up energy costs, I'm doing everything I can to save you money. Ahead of a cold winter, I’m declaring a State of Energy Emergency to boost heating assistance, help middle-class families pay for oil, and take $100M in charges directly off your bills.

Last month, we cut the ribbon on Masters Academy International — bringing together the best in academics and athletics 🎓🏅 A place for future Olympians like Lauren Scruggs to learn and train, and a permanent Massachusetts home for @usafencing.bsky.social.

Every student deserves a classroom where they can be comfortable, healthy, and focused on learning. With support from @masscec.bsky.social, the 120-year-old Otis School now has cleaner, more efficient heating and cooling — a model for how we retrofit schools across Massachusetts.

It’s clear why @mit.edu was named the number one school in the nation. MA is leader, bringing people together to innovate. Future Fest and Sensing Oceans at the MIT Museum show what’s possible when art, design, and STEM come together. Honored to celebrate those shaping our future.

We’re not saying we’re better than every other state. But the evidence is overwhelming.

We're No. 1! Obviously.

Sure, Massachusetts gives us plenty to complain about. But from schools and healthcare to sports and Dunkin’, here are 61 reasons we’re still awfully hard to beat.

New season. New captain. The B's are back in Boston tonight. Good luck, @nhlbruins.bsky.social 🖤🐻💛

Massachusetts’ Latino community is strong, growing, and making our state better every day. We see you. We believe in you. And we’ll always have your back. Happy Hispanic & Latino Heritage Month!

Gold Star families have given more than anyone should ever have to give. On Gold Star Mothers & Families Day and always, we honor your loved ones and their sacrifice, and pledge to serve your families with the same selflessness they showed our nation 🇺🇸

A nor’easter is headed our way this weekend. We’re no strangers to storms in Massachusetts—but it’s still important to be prepared.   Stay informed. Stay safe.

The men and women who defend our freedoms should never feel like they have to struggle alone. I was proud to sign a bill recognizing September 22 as Military Service Members and Veterans Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump’s war with Iran sent gas prices through the roof. Now, he’s ignoring the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. I won’t. I’m filing a bill to suspend the gas tax and deliver relief for Massachusetts drivers.

Donald Trump’s reckless Iran War is driving up gas prices nationwide. $4.40 for regular, $6.39 for diesel and climbing every day? That's crazy. I’m filing a bill to suspend the gas tax and make sure every penny saved goes back to Massachusetts families.

ICE needs to answer for their actions.

Wishing all those observing Yom Kippur an easy fast and a meaningful day of reflection and renewal. G’mar chatima tova.

The Big E is one of those traditions that makes New England special. Even better when Opening Day is about celebrating our veterans, service members, and military families. Great to be back — and grateful for everyone who serves 🇺🇸

AI is moving fast. We need to move faster to keep people safe. Massachusetts has an opportunity to lead with strong protections — and we should take it. We need Washington to do the same.

Massachusetts competes to win. Roche and Genentech are bringing hundreds of jobs and their next generation of cutting-edge research to Allston. That means more innovation, more breakthroughs, and more hope for patients around the world.

Public safety is the foundation of everything we do to make Massachusetts a great place to live. Thank you to MCOPA and law enforcement officers for putting their communities first with courage, commitment and leadership. In Unity There Is Strength.

Welcoming a baby is one of life's greatest joys — and one of its biggest challenges. I’m taking action so every Massachusetts family gets support from the start, including home visits from nurses, earlier screenings, and better access to care.

Massachusetts is stronger because of our Hispanic and Latino communities. During Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month and always, we celebrate their cultures, contributions, and lasting impact across our state. Unidos, Somos Más — Together, We Are More.

A win for the American people — and our democracy. Voting by mail is a trusted, essential way for millions to participate in our elections and make their voices heard. Massachusetts elections are safe and secure. I’ll always do everything in my power to protect them.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejected President Trump's bid to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterms.

A sewer main break in Haverhill put shellfishers out of work for 12 days—right in the middle of their busy season. Today, we’re delivering $300,000 in relief checks to help make up for that lost income. This industry matters to Massachusetts. And we’ll always have their backs.

Massachusetts has been on the front lines of the fight for freedom — from Lexington and Concord to the brave men and women serving today. That proud tradition continues as we welcome F-35A Lightning II aircraft to Barnes Air National Guard Base and begin a new chapter for the 104th Fighter Wing.

Shana Tovah, Massachusetts! 🍎🍯 Sending my warmest wishes for a sweet, peaceful and hopeful New Year to all celebrating Rosh Hashanah.

Boston and Massachusetts share a deep connection to the events of September 11, 2001. We remember those we lost and the families who continue to grieve. Today and always, we stand with you.

The Madeline Amy Sweeney Award for Civilian Bravery is one of Massachusetts’ highest honors, recognizing extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness. This year’s recipient is TJ Swenson, who stepped in during an active shooter situation on Memorial Drive four months ago today, saving lives.

Each year on September 11, we read the names of the more than 200 Massachusetts lives taken from us on that terrible day in 2001. Today, those families are in our prayers.

My heart is with the Keating family today. 25 years after losing a mother and grandmother in the 9/11 attacks, they can finally lay her to rest. Grateful to the teams who’ve spent decades helping families bring their loved ones home.

Barbara Keating died in the 9/11 attack. She's finally being laid to rest

Barbara Keating died aboard one of the planes that hijackers slammed into the World Trade Center. Her remains were finally identified last year, and her family is gathering for a long-delayed funeral.

I’ve directed flags across Massachusetts to fly at half-staff and I’m calling on residents to join me in a statewide moment of silence at 8:46 a.m.   We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001 and hold their families in our thoughts and prayers.

Today, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who stepped up, and the communities that came together. 25 years later, we owe it to the next generation to keep those stories alive. We will never forget.
