2/2 With this legislation, Massachusetts is taking a stand to put people first, give residents real control over their data, and hold companies accountable when they cross the line. This is about safeguarding our privacy in the digital age, and Iβm proud the Senate has led the way.

Healey pauses plans to close 2 state-run hospitals after pushback
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has hit the brakes on plans to close two state-run hospitals in Canton and Cape Cod, saying she wants to bring the communities together to discuss the path forward.
THIS is whatβs possible when you show up and make your voices heard. THANK YOU to my colleagues in the Cape & Islands delegation and everyone who wrote a letter, sent an email, made a call, and most importantly showed up to insist our mental health facilities remain open. Very good news indeed.
