I'm proud to have secured over $14 million in Community Project Funds for MA-01. From North Adams to Oxford, these projects will strengthen infrastructure, expand educational opportunities, and improve quality of life for families and businesses across western and central Mass.

Trump’s Administration has repeatedly failed to keep your data safe. Now, this decision lets Trump use your SSA data for something it was never meant to do: verify voter eligibility. Your data should be protected, not misused as a tool in Trump’s voter suppression agenda.

As the Co-Chair of the Friends of Ireland Caucus for the U.S. House Representatives, I urge the British Secretary of State Bryant to weigh in on this consequential moment on the island of Ireland. 28 years after the historic Good Friday Agreement, allowing this contentious parade to proceed would represent a marked step backward. It is within the Secretary of State’s remit to use his office to preserve the peace and stability that has been painstakingly built for the past three decades, and to prevent a return to the divisions of the past. Failing to do so would be a disservice to the next generation, who seek peace, prosperity, and a shared future.

ICYMI: Earlier this month, I was honored to join military and community leaders in Chicopee for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Westover Air Reserve Base’s new Regional ISO Maintenance Hangar. After years of steadfast advocacy from local, state, federal, and military leaders, this long-awaited project is now complete, marking a significant investment not only in Westover's infrastructure, but also in the men and women who carry out the base's mission every day. As our nation’s largest air reserve base, Westover plays a critical role in advancing our nation’s military readiness while supporting thousands of local jobs across western and central Massachusetts. I was proud to help secure the necessary funding for this project, ensuring Westover's place in western Massachusetts for years to come.

The American people have a right to know the truth about their government and members of the press have a right to report it. Trump just showed us the extreme lengths he will go to thwart that. That isn’t the hallmark of a courageous leader, it’s cowardice and un-American.

You read that right. American families have spent $100 BILLION MORE on fuel thanks to Donald Trump's war of choice. No strategy, no endgame, and no authorization from Congress. Enough is enough. wsj.com/business/energy-oil/…

On average, families have spent over $4,200 more since Trump’s taken office.

Trump’s relentless attacks on the First Amendment show just how much he wants to hide from his failing record. It's the work of journalists that connect the American people to what their government officials are doing. Barring members of the press from the White House is barring the American people from their government.

Notice how Trump will always find money to cut when it comes to maternal health care, education, farmers, research, and the things people depend on and care about. But when it comes to tax breaks for billionaires, Trump and Republicans will always find more to give.

The Kennedy Center is a beacon of the performing arts and a memorial to one of our nation’s greatest presidents. Demolishing it would be illegal and un-American. Imagine a president trying to add their name to the Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial. Only weak leaders grift their names onto the legacies of great ones.

It was a pleasure to gather with friends from the @SpfldRegChamber and @RepRichardNeal to close out the Chamber’s 2026 Washington Symposium. A chance to reflect on the special connection shared by Ireland and Western Massachusetts, rooted in relationships and cultural heritage.

Last week, I was proud to join President @JosephCHartman and the @WNEUniversity community for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the University's new Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (CAMS). When we secured this $850,000 earmark, the goal was simple: give our students the hands-on experience needed to compete in a rapidly changing economy. With the cutting-edge technology available through CAMS, WNE will also be able to: 🧑‍🏭 Provide 20 MA companies with state-of-the-art facilities to improve training on advanced welding, prototyping, and state-of-the-art equipment. 🏢 Incubate two local Springfield startups annually. 🧑‍🎓 Empower annual industry workshops and introduce 200 K-12 students to advanced manufacturing. Congratulations to everyone at WNE on this extraordinary achievement!

When someone’s digging you into a hole, you don’t hand them a bigger shovel. The American people can't afford for Congress to cede more tariff power to Trump.

Right now, everything is going in the wrong direction for the American people. Even Trump's handpicked, loyal Fed Chair can't hide how out of control prices are.

Since taking office in January 2025, Republicans have canceled 24% of their scheduled voting days. That’s nearly 1 in every 4 voting days. While millions of Americans stare down unaffordable bills, Republicans simply can’t find anything else they want to do for the American people.
