I watched Jenny Racicot’s brave interview tonight. I believe her and the other survivors who’ve come forward about Graham Platner.
Graham Platner should get out of this race now. He should have already.
The people of Maine deserve the opportunity to vote for someone they can trust to tell the truth, fight for their values, and defeat Susan Collins in November.
From fires, to floods, to rescues of all kinds, firefighters are the heroes we call when lives are at stake. And in Massachusetts, we believe that our heroes should be well-prepared and well-protected.
Honored to welcome the @IAFFOfficial Convention to Boston!
The Machinists stood with the @IAFFofficial when #Boeing locked out its @BoeingFFs, and we’re proud to stand with them in their push for a fair contract!
Tommy Carroll wins it for Marshfield at 4:09 of second overtime. Rams win 2-1 over Reading.
Marshfield will face Arlington Catholic in the Elite 8

.@Ford CEO Jim Farley - who made $21 million last year - thinks because “someone from the military or a fire fighter makes mid $50,000s” that @UAW employees don’t deserve a raise. Here’s the truth: all workers deserve fair pay for their hard work.
The GOP is pushing to ban abortion nationwide…
…while simultaneously proposing drastic cuts to food programs like WIC that help pregnant women, infants & children.
As my friend Barney Frank likes to say: clearly Republicans believe life begins at conception—and ends at birth.
Please share from @VP_L718:
“As many of my Local 718 brothers and sisters have heard by now, my granddaughter, 14-Year-Old Shariyah Heyward, has been missing since last Thursday. It is with a humble heart that I ask my beloved Boston community members for help in the search for her. Our family is worried for her safety and is desperately hoping to be safely reunited. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is asked to contact 911 or D-4 Detectives at 617-343-5619. If you would prefer to share information anonymously you can do so by calling the CrimeStoppers Tip Line AT 1-800 (494) -TIPS or by texting the word 'TIP' to CRIME (27463). As we go through this difficult time, we ask everyone to look out for her and keep her and our family in their prayers.”
#IAFF Chief of Field Services Pat Morrison was honored by the American Burn Association for his outstanding contribution to burn prevention and care. Morrison is a long-time advocate for burn survivors & fire/burn prevention. Congrats, Pat! Pictured with @Ameriburn Pres. Parry.
The U.S. doesn't suffer from a higher incidence of mental illness than other countries.
What we do have is nearly half the privately-owned guns in the world, despite having just 4 percent of the world's population.
You have to be willfully ignorant to deny this as a big part of the explanation for why America has a dramatically higher number of gun deaths and incidents.
Happening Now: @IAFFPresident announcing the IAFF has filed suit against the National Fire Protection Association to remove standards keeping toxic #PFAS forever chemicals in fire fighter protective gear.
The overwhelming human instinct is to run away from danger.
But when that bell rings, firefighters run toward it to protect their communities.
We’re investing in firefighters – so they can stay safe while doing their jobs.
President @JoeBiden is committed to making our dangerous job safer – including helping eliminate cancer from the fire service. As he said today, "I’m determined to make sure you have the gear that protects you without making you or your family sick."
