I condemn in the strongest possible terms these federal cuts that undermine America’s leadership in science and innovation while harming local families and our economy.

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

WHOI has reduced or eliminated 26 positions as a direct result of Trump administration attacks on science and innovation, the largest staff reduction since the 2008 recession.

On the human side, these aren’t just numbers. They’re friends, neighbors, and families

… here in Falmouth whose livelihoods are put at risk. On the policy side, these cuts are incredibly shortsighted. The research conducted at WHOI is essential to our blue economy, environment, and national security.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

Losing the ticket war is frustrating. Seeing that $100 seat on resale sites for 5X the price is infuriating.

I’m introducing legislation to crack down on resale prices and fees and naming it after a New Englander who’s been fighting for fans every step of the way — @NoahKahan.

Fair prices. Fewer fees. No complaints.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Governor Maura Healey is filing a proposal that would put guardrails on the ticket resale marketplace in an effort to tamp down on inflated prices for concerts and sporting events. https://t.co/XBNW3Z9PyH

Noah Kahan “calls” in with his support 🐞

@rural___juror As the state senator for this district and vice chair of the cannabis committee, I approve this message.

The people of our state deserve a fair formula for how local aid is distributed, and today's system falls short, writes Dylan Fernandes. https://t.co/54HVKAGiFg

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

The state local aid formula is broken. Read my op-ed in the @BostonGlobe here: https://t.co/QlFTLmwkOG

Agree! A feeder train from Buzzards Bay to Middleborough would be a great start.

[Massachusetts YIMBY @ryanbebb]

Bring commuter rail to Falmouth and Hyannis on the Cape, and don’t wait for station upgrades before starting service

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

Everyday Americans are struggling at the grocery store and gas pump while Trump gives tax cuts to billionaires and spends our tax dollars on foreign wars. Instead of sending money overseas, we should invest in housing, healthcare, and programs that help working people.

[CNN @CNN]

For the first time in three years, Americans' wages are no longer outpacing inflation, further compounding affordability concerns.

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

Cutting back on programs that are meant to make everyday tasks easier just makes life more complicated and expensive for working people.

We should be doing the opposite by expanding tools like IRS Direct File so filing is simple, accessible, and free. (2/2)

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

Happy Tax Day! Here’s your reminder to file your taxes if you haven’t already.

As the Trump administration rolled back efforts to expand free tax filing options, millions of Americans must rely on paid services to file basic returns. (1/2)

My statement on Trump threatening the lifeline to Cape & Islanders

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

These allegations are serious and he should resign to focus on his legal charges and allow for new representation on Cape Cod. https://t.co/ztrWnFtrRX

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

With the news of Rep. Flanagan’s arrest today for defrauding a local group to support his political campaign, he can no longer effectively represent his constitutes in the 1st Barnstable District.

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

Tom served 14 years in the Massachusetts House, and so many more decades, championing projects and causes that shaped our region. A mentor, runner, golfer, and leader, he leaves behind a legacy of service.

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

Today, I led the Senate in adjourning in memory of Tom Cahir, a dedicated public servant from the Cape Community.

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

The Cape’s Bourne & Sagamore bridges are among 68 nationwide without a vulnerability assessment. The Army Corps, which owns them, must act now to ensure their safety. We can’t wait for a disaster—it’s time to evaluate and address any vulnerabilities. https://t.co/F41inqIMHR

Happy National Ag Day!
