It’s Match Day, Massachusetts! 🇭🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Who are you rooting for?

Bienvenue, Les Bleus! 🇫🇷 Thrilled to have one of soccer’s most iconic teams make Massachusetts home base for the World Cup. Bonne chance!

It's Match Day for the @USMNT 🇺🇸 Proud to cheer on @NERevolution's Matt Turner and Massachusetts native Miles Robinson as they represent us on the world's biggest stage. Let’s go, USA! cbsnews.com/boston/news/us-w…

Today, I was honored to welcome @JMNPresidente of Cabo Verde to the Massachusetts State House. Massachusetts is home to one of the largest Cabo Verdean communities in the United States, and the ties between our state and Cabo Verde run deep — built through generations of family, culture, commerce, and shared values. Bem-vindo a Massachusetts, Senhor Presidente.

Heading to a World Cup match? ✅ DO get to Boston Stadium early ❌ DON’T try to walk there

Whether you’re going to a World Cup match or Fan Festival at City Hall Plaza, let the MBTA get you there. Tickets for Boston Stadium trains are on sale now on the MBTA mTicket app.

There has never been anyone like Barney Frank. And there never will be again. Brilliant. Fearless. Hilarious. But beneath the sharp wit was a deep moral conviction. Barney could not stay silent in the face of injustice, and he never backed down from those who tried to justify it. He was a champion for LGBTQ rights long before it was popular. He helped rebuild fairness and stability in our economy through Dodd-Frank. He fought for healthcare, reproductive freedom, racial justice, immigrants' rights, criminal justice reform, veterans, affordable housing, food security, environmental protection, and so much more. He worked with joy, humor and passion, and also with strategy and with pragmatism. He worked across parties and differences, negotiated difficult agreements, and took hard-earned wins, knowing he’d be back to fight another day. Most of all, Barney brought his full, authentic self to public service. He never apologized for it. And in doing so, he changed what was possible for generations of Americans. He was one of the greatest legislators of our time. He was an inspiration to so many of us. Thank you, Barney.

HUGE NEWS: Thanks to @Airbnb, 1,100 kids from across Massachusetts are getting tickets to the World Cup — for free. The world's biggest sporting event is coming to our backyard, and we're making sure more young people have the chance to be part of the action.

Ahead of the first-ever @NEFreeJacks and @WER_Banshees doubleheader, I had the chance to sit down with athletes, coaches, and staff to talk about the power of women’s sports. Sports taught me some of life’s most important lessons: leadership, teamwork, resilience, and confidence. Today, more girls across Massachusetts see themselves in athletes competing at the highest level — from the Banshees to @PWHL_Boston, @NWSLBoston, and beyond. Everyone watches women’s sports.

The American Revolution began in Massachusetts. So did the abolition movement. And generations of civil rights leaders and immigrant communities have shaped who we are today. President Trump isn't preserving history. He's censoring it. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

One of the best parts of this job is welcoming our troops back to Massachusetts. Today, 300 National Guard members returned home from deployment in Djibouti. Grateful for their service, proud of their work, and thankful to the families who supported them. Welcome home.

Massachusetts has always been a place that believes in freedom. Freedom to speak up. Freedom to be yourself. Freedom to love who you love. That's worth celebrating this month, and always. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Less than a year after breaking ground, Foxborough's new @MBTA_CR station is now open. It means more capacity. Better accessibility. Faster, easier trips to games, concerts and everything in between. And it's just in time for @FWC26Boston.

One year after launching State Land for Homes, more than 5,600 new units are in the pipeline across Massachusetts. We're using every tool available to build more homes, lower costs, and create more opportunities for families and workers.

BIG NEWS: Massachusetts' economy just ranked #1 in America for the second year in a row. We’ve got a world-class workforce, growing STEM industries, and an innovation economy that's built to compete—and win.

Robert Kilduff Jr. devoted his life to helping people. Whether serving his country as a Marine or his city as a third-generation firefighter, he answered the call time and again without hesitation. He was a hero by every measure — who ultimately gave his own life to save others. @JLydgate and I are sending our love to his partner Jessica, his children Hannah Jane and Mason, the entire Boston Fire Department and all his brothers and sisters in service. Massachusetts will never forget his sacrifice.

Pride is about celebrating the freedom to be who you are and love who you love. This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ community and the advocates who helped make our state a leader for equality. I will always have your back. Happy Pride, Massachusetts! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

At just 22 years old, Giovanni Bala had his whole future ahead of him — a devoted son, a new union carpenter, and a young man who meant the world to those around him. Keeping his family and the Dorchester community in my thoughts as they grieve this unimaginable loss. bostonglobe.com/2026/05/27/m…

This afternoon, Massachusetts Public Safety Officials received reports of an audible boom and ground tremors in Eastern Massachusetts. Although we do not yet know the cause, there are no known emergency police or fire requests connected to these reports and we do not believe there is any public safety threat. We remain in contact with our local, state, and federal partners to monitor any impact and understand the cause when it becomes available.

My heart breaks for the Doncev family, for the communities of Greenfield and Worcester, and for everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy. Keeping them in my prayers during this incredibly difficult time. bostonglobe.com/2026/05/29/m…
