More nurses mean shorter wait times, lower costs, and better care. That’s why we’re investing in training and retaining the next generation of health care workers. Great to visit Worcester State with @repmcgovern.bsky.social to meet nursing students answering the call with care and compassion.

Earlier this year, I brought together health care leaders to answer a simple question: How can we deliver the high-quality care Massachusetts is known for in a way people can actually afford?

Another round of President Trump’s tariffs, another illegal tax hike for families and businesses. It’s the same failed playbook from a failing White House. Grateful to @massago.bsky.social and her team for taking action to fight back, lower costs and protect the people of Massachusetts.

BREAKING: I'm suing to stop Donald Trump's newest illegal tariffs. Everything is too damn expensive. And, instead of helping struggling American families, Trump is imposing new unlawful tariffs that will be passed onto you. I'm fighting to lower costs for Massachusetts residents.

200,000 veterans transition to civilian life each year with the skills employers need. Massachusetts is connecting that talent to opportunity — and leading the way to become the best state in the nation to hire a veteran.

Commentary: Mass. can lead the nation in hiring veteran talent - Boston Business Journal

Approximately 200,000 service members transition out of the military every year. State officials say skills-based hiring can bridge the gap between their expertise and civilian jobs.

Donald Trump is fast-tracking deportations for people seeking safety in the United States — without ever giving them a hearing. It’s cruel, it’s unjust, and it’s un-American.

Asylum seekers could be sent directly to deportation court under new rule

The Trump administration rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to immigration judges, who could dismiss the asylum petitions.

We've had a great summer. It's not over yet, and neither are the savings on the @mbta.com. On top of discounts happening through August, we're rolling out new ways to save this fall: a 2 hr unlimited transfer window, $1.70 express bus fares, and free service for seniors 75+ without a license.

Today, we celebrate 36 years of the ADA, and the activists whose courage and leadership made this progress possible. The work continues — together, we’re building a Massachusetts where people with disabilities have full access, equal opportunity and the independence they deserve.

Jake Lang is an election denier, white supremacist, and extremist who backs Trump and cheers on ICE as they rip families apart and kill people in our streets. His beliefs are hateful and dangerous — and totally against what we stand for in Massachusetts.

As a former prosecutor and attorney general, I’ve seen the courage it takes for survivors to come forward. I’ve also seen what happens when our laws fail them. Today, that’s changing.

The Trump administration just admitted to what we’ve been saying all along: they’re using federal funding as a political weapon. These investments should go to states based on need — not who they voted for.

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

BREAKING: My Division of Insurance negotiated down rate increases with seven health insurers, saving 670,000 residents $72 million in premiums.   From lowering out-of-pocket costs to getting rid of prior authorizations, we're making sure you can afford the care you need, when you need it.

Tiny homes. In-law apartments. Backyard cottages. Whatever you call them, ADUs are easier than ever to build in Massachusetts. With free designs, financing assistance and planning support, we're helping more homeowners create the extra space their families need.

President Trump is doubling down on his failed tariff strategy — and sticking Americans with the bill. Prices are already high because of his reckless war with Iran. Families and businesses can't afford to pay another Trump tax.

My heart is with the families of the brave service members killed in action in the Middle East, and I’m praying for the recovery of the missing service member. Massachusetts will always stand with those who serve, and with the families who carry the weight of that service every day.

I've had the honor of calling Bob Cousy a friend for more than a decade, and I can honestly say he's every bit as special off the court as he was on it. Humble. Gracious. Funny. Kind. That's who Cooz is.

Donald Trump wants to distract you from the failures of his presidency: higher prices, millions losing their health care, and ICE agents shooting people in our streets. Here’s the truth: Massachusetts’ elections are safe and secure, and I’ll always defend your right to vote.

Three people are dead this week because of ICE. President Trump calls that a “great job.” That should outrage every American. This has to end.

BREAKING: President Trump says ICE should continue traffic stops after recent fatal shootings, seeming to contradict a new order to suspend them.

How many lives did it take before the Trump Administration finally said enough? This can’t be where accountability ends.

ICE agents have been directed to largely suspend vehicle stops until further notice following recent deadly shootings in Maine and Texas, source says. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4feMKmW

Last week in Texas. This week in Maine. President Trump and ICE are killing people, scaring communities, wrecking our economies, and doing lasting damage to America.

The British are coming — and this time, no need to light the lanterns. Incredible flyover by the Royal Air Force this afternoon. Reminds us how far the United States and the United Kingdom have come over the past 250 years 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Massachusetts needs homes, and we're making it faster and easier to build them. I created the first public-private financing tool to jump start construction on new housing. We're getting shovels in the ground on 600+ units — and getting families into homes they can afford.

Donald Trump campaigned on affordability. Instead, he’s trying to kill a bipartisan bill to build more homes and lower housing costs. President Trump — do your job. Sign the bill.

Massachusetts didn't just launch the American Revolution — we’re home to one of our nation's greatest Fourth of July traditions.   Tonight, Jane Lynch, Lainey Wilson, Chance the Rapper, Trombone Shorty, and so many others delivered the biggest and best Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular yet 🇺🇸🎶🎆

The fight for American independence began in Massachusetts — with ordinary people who believed in the promise of freedom, equality, and democracy. 250 years later, that same revolutionary spirit defines who we are. And it always will. Happy Fourth, Massachusetts! 🇺🇸

Still need plans for the Fourth? Massachusetts 250 events are happening all over the state 🎆 Visit Massachusetts250.org to find a celebration near you.

It’s hard to imagine the @celticsnba.bsky.social without Jaylen Brown. Thank you, Jaylen, for everything you gave to Massachusetts — on the court, in our communities and for the next generation of young people who look up to you. You’ll always have a home in Boston.

Massachusetts is where America got its start — and where 250th celebrations will be biggest and best. That’s why I’m making parking at state parks and beaches free all weekend long. Happy Fourth, Massachusetts! 🇺🇸🏖️☀️

Good news just in time for the holiday weekend — water testing has confirmed it’s safe to swim at state beaches impacted by last week’s sewage main break in Haverhill. I’m grateful to everyone who worked around the clock to protect public health and get families back to our waterways.

@joannalydgate.bsky.social and I are grateful to all public safety officials and volunteers at the World Cup. Fans from around the world are having a great time at Boston Stadium — and it’s thanks to the people working around the clock to make sure this tournament is safe, secure and successful.
