The emergency SNAP fund exists to prevent hunger. Trump is refusing to release it. That’s not fiscal restraint—it’s moral bankruptcy. Children in Mississippi, Nevada, Massachusetts are starving because he won’t act.

Great news for Haverhill! L’Arche Boston North received a $150K state grant to launch the L’Arche Learning Cafe, culinary job training for adults with developmental disabilities. This builds an inclusive workforce & opens doors to meaningful careers. Congrats to all involved!

We recently passed a supplemental budget in the House that delivers critical funding for hospitals like Merrimack Health in Haverhill. This investment supports frontline care in the face of federal uncertainty.

"The uproar is not surprising. The cost, however, is unacceptable," @franksesno says of Kimmel's suspension. "It's not just Jimmy Kimmel. It's a $15B lawsuit against The New York Times. It's a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register because we don't like a poll. It's settlements with George Stephanopoulos or 60 Minutes because we don't like the way you edit. I come back to Brendan Carr, the chair of the FCC, who said, and I quote, in 2022, 2023, 'Censorship is the authoritarian's dream.'"

We’re 1 of 15 cities across the state to receive this funding! Thrilled with the work Haverhill Public Schools is doing to advance literacy.

President Biden is right.
Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.
It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.
That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

"Poll after poll shows this and report after report explains how sky-high home prices are bad for Massachusetts. The YIMBY bill moves us forward by enabling us to build the number and variety of homes we need to make housing more affordable across the Commonwealth." @jessekb
