Plans for proposed ICE facility in Merrimack, N.H., won’t move forward, governor says - The Boston Globe “We can breathe easy again,” said the chair of the Merrimack Town Council, which had opposed the warehouse.

This administration’s effort to erase our history and those who have lived it must fail.

If you feel like you spent more at the grocery store last year, you weren't imagining it.

Essential items are all getting more expensive. Beef went up 16.4 percent, coffee rose 19.8 percent, and lettuce went up 7.3 percent.

If Kamala had been elected Minneapolis would not have been turned into a war zone where people are gunned down in the streets.

One of my constituents died in ICE custody two weeks ago, so I went to Philadelphia's Federal Detention Center, and 2 things stood out to me🧵:

We held our first town hall of the year at Widener University in Chester! Thank you to the over 400 constituents who showed up!

I can't support any bills that condone the President's war on children and families that cut food assistance, healthcare, and education programs.

This is inspiring.
