Get at it, Shrewsbury!

250 years ago, 128 from Shrewsbury answered the call.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Thank you, Wisconsin!

Worcester, Mass: A room full of local Democrats ready to go 💪

I’m not sure if you know this but we’re about a 1 degree temp change away from completely wiping out North American salmon.

You want people studying fish.

Historically in politics saying “read my lips” before making a sweeping proclamation has never backfired.

Trump promised on day one he would bring prices down.

More than a month in and gas, groceries, rent, cars, and eggs all cost more...

And yet what are Republicans focused on today?

Gutting Medicaid so they can give tax cuts for billionaires.

Taking inspiration from my Congressman @repmcgovern.bsky.social. No person I’d rather have representing our communities in Washington right now.

U.S. stocks tumble as companies and consumers worry about tariffs and Washington The S&P 500 sank 1.7% for its worst day in two months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 748 points, or 1.7%, and the Nasdaq composite tumbled 2.2%.

U.S. stocks fell sharply after reports showed that worries about President Donald Trump’s policies may be hitting the economy.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

Today I convened a roundtable in my district to hear how cuts to the NIH will hurt people—patients, clinical trial participants, and researchers working on lifesaving cures. And how cutting Medicaid coverage is going to mean people will lose care, get sicker, and die.

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

A darkly symbolic step on Trump’s road to gutting our democratic institutions. Disgusting.

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Don't Fall for Trump's Strongman Gambit Trump's first two weeks reveal a chaotic and incompetent administration trying to mask weakness.

If you want to understand Trump's approach you need to understand the concept of "Gorilla Dust." When threatened, gorillas kick up dust to make themselves appear bigger.

Trump wants everyone to think he is strong, instead he is trying to mask his weakness

Jimmy Carter Dies at 100: News and Reactions (Gift Article) The former president, a peanut farmer and Democrat from Georgia, was known as much for his charity and diplomatic work later in life as he was for his single presidential term, which ended in 1981.

Jimmy Carter has died. A remarkable man who has been on our minds a lot lately, for many reasons. What an example he set for everyone who has had to ask themselves, “Now what?”

Merry Christmas!

One of the lessons of the last month is that great wealth cannot buy courage but it can reveal cowardice.

Great job by the volunteers who put together Shrewsbury’s Yuletide Market & Light the Common!

For #SmallBusinessSaturday, go big or go home.

(But actually go small.)

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
