1 in 6 MA residents use SNAP to help buy groceries. 1 in 3 depend on MassHealth. The bulk of residents harmed are kids, older adults and persons with disabilities. This bill would slash these lifelines, making hunger, poverty, and poor health worse across the Commonwealth.
SNAP helps millions of kids eat. Now Congress wants to gut it — slashing $300 billion to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest households and corporations. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening this week. Contact your Senator now: https://t.co/uGNfRZBJH2 https://t.co/ECOxhqzcaN
Jesuits are always supposed to give people the benefit of the doubt. So even though I find this deeply offensive, I will presume that Mr. Trump meant this light-heartedly (even though he had just recently returned from Pope Francis's Funeral Mass, and he has a Catholic Vice President who met with Francis the day before his death). But imagine the incandescent outrage, the swift condemnation, and the individual and joint protests from the US bishops if this had been done by Joe Biden or Barack Obama.
Happy Warrior Entertainment is so proud to have produced this incredible project. Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life. Great thanks to David Bender for his vision, the support of Abigail Disney, Susan Disney Lord, and Timothy Disney, and the imagination and direction of Sean McGowan, the producer of the PoliticsGirl Project.
Good time to remind everyone that 11 members of the Boston City Council voted YES to accept federal grants to expand the surveillance network that federal agents are using to attack our community.
They gave them the tools to do this.

@masslivenews I love my hometown. My kids love their hometown because we know it’s not perfect by any means but it feels safe to us and we’re down the road from Mass and Cass. Ppl expecting perfection forget how young our nation is.
Hundreds of Syrians took to the streets, singing and holding placards, protesting the new constitution that they say undermines ethnic pluralism by promoting a singular national identity and maintaining a highly centralized power structure https://t.co/2o5BRHk5QI
Wu: If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.
Some Democrats laughed out loud when President Trump said the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats is over, with some standing up and pointing to Elon Musk. https://t.co/3wdwQpPrIb
Please join me TOMORROW for our virtual Town Hall to discuss the work that Democrats in Congress and pro-democracy allies are doing to block the unlawful actions taken by the Trump Administration and Elon Musk.
