Blaming somebody who hasn’t been in power for 16 months is getting really old…

With all that’s going on in Washington, I’m happy to say I have some good news.
This weekend, I joined folks in Holliston to celebrate over $1M in federal funding I secured to upgrade water infrastructure in downtown Holliston. An important step towards unlocking major economic growth for the region!

I led the effort in Congress to keep the Leeds VA Medical Center open against those trying to privatize the VA who wanted it shuttered. Now, because of DOGE cuts, veterans are facing staffing shortages and longer wait times.
The Trump administration is betraying America’s veterans.
The Boston Globe@BostonGlobe
Last year, the Veterans Health Administration shed 48,000 staff, the largest one-year decline in staffing in the agency’s history. In Massachusetts alone, 855 workers left the VA in 2025, according to a Globe analysis of federal data. trib.al/0JCmXLI

This week in Congress was a total clown show. Under @SpeakerJohnson’s failed leadership, Republicans can’t govern without tripping over themselves and hurting the American People in the process.
We can do so much better.

Republicans know their farm bill—which locks in MASSIVE cuts to nutrition assistance—is awful. So they forced us to debate it in the dead of night.
They thought they could sneak it by without the American People noticing. They were wrong.

The House GOP finally caved in to reality and joined House Democrats, Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans in voting to fund the rest of DHS except for the dangerously lawless ICE and Border Patrol.
Why did Speaker Johnson make hardworking FEMA officials, TSA and Secret Service agents and other federal workers wait more than two months to receive their regular paychecks?

Good News: we scored a BIG WIN by stripping the pesticide company liability shield from the Republican Farm Bill.
Bad News: the farm bill STILL makes America LESS HEALTHY by locking in massive cuts to nutrition assistance which make hunger worse.
The fight is still on.
English
This farm bill hurts rural communities, betrays farmers, and locks in the $187 billion Republicans stole from food assistance to give tax breaks to billionaires—you can't be healthy if you're hungry, but this bill makes it harder for families to afford good, nutritious food.

Dear House Dems: Please listen to @RepMcGovern's plea to vote NO on this shameful highly partisan Farm Bill. @HouseAgGOP blocked 80% of all bi-partisan amendents, 93% of all Dem amendments. They are debating this highly flawed bill in the dark of night.

& @RepMcGovern isn't happy:
"It is now nearly 11 o’clock at night. This is nuts. What the hell is wrong with you people? You guys are bringing this current bill to the floor three years late in the middle of the night."
(Farm bill was due to be updated in 2023)

Republicans have failed to deliver.
Prices are through the roof. The U.S. is alone and isolated on the world stage. And working people are struggling while billionaires get another tax break.
It’s time for some serious change.

The Republican agenda sucks. Luckily, they appear to be tanking their own legislation because they’re in such disarray.
English
This terrible ruling will effectively let MAGA erode our democracy and rig the rules to stay in power. It gives a green light for states to disenfranchise Black, Latino, Native American, and Asian American voters.
It is an insult to generations of Americans who’ve fought for equal representation in government.
Americans should get to decide who represents them in Congress—not extremist Republicans or this far-right activist court.

He blocked the release of the Epstein Files, sold his soul to a sex offender president, and protects @RepMillsPress who had a restraining order against him for dating violence.
Call me a pessimist but I don’t think @SpeakerJohnson is going to crack down on misconduct.
