Members of Congress should not be paid during a shutdown while the people they serve are left in limbo. I will be deferring my congressional salary until the government shutdown ends.

Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.
Today, I will perform my constitutional duty as Vice President to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation — one I will uphold guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and unwavering faith in the American people.
We’re proud to honor Rev. Art J. Gordon as a 2024 TOYL honoree!
As a pastor, faith-leader, & community servant, he believes in the power of faith & politics to create avenues of liberating systemic change in urban communities across Greater Boston.

Churches should be safe, welcoming spaces where people can find community. This isn’t just an attack on the First Congregational Church and our LGBTQ+ neighbors, it’s an attack on the principles of love and acceptance that we all value in Massachusetts. Whoever you are, whoever you love and however you pray, we have your back.

ALERT: Massachusetts lawmakers have approved an amendment to bring back happy hour to the Commonwealth after a 40-year absence.
The measure still needs to have the House approve the amendment and the governor sign the amendment into law.
🚨 BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders Publishes NYT Op-Ed in Support of President Biden
Wow! This is really good stuff from Bernie:
Sanders: “I will do all that I can to see that President Biden is re-elected. Why? Despite my disagreements with him on particular issues, he has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump — a demagogue and pathological liar.
It’s time to learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite profound political differences, came together this week to soundly defeat right-wing extremism.”
Donald Trump said he didn’t know what NATO was, does anybody think he’d be able to throughly and thoughtfully answer any of the questions like @POTUS is right now?
