What a win for the Minutemen!

Congratulations on an incredible 37-21 victory over Rutgers to open the season. And what a debut for the 413’s own Pop Watson III. Massachusetts is proud of you! 👏

The Minutemen went 0-12 last season and entered the game as 29.5-point underdogs

I cut taxes and signed a historic housing bill, helping preserve more than 10,000 affordable rental homes across Massachusetts. 

Today in Worcester, we announced our largest round of awards in more than a decade: 2,500+ new, affordable homes for seniors, veterans and families.

Gloria Steinem spent her life challenging injustice, expanding opportunity and fighting for women to have an equal voice. Her courage inspired generations, and her legacy will continue to guide the fight for equality and justice.

Rest in power, Gloria.

Looking out at the sea of purple flags on Boston Common, you can see the tremendous pain that overdose has brought to too many families.

I also see tremendous love, and a community doing everything they can to keep others from going through the same hurt. Today and always, we stand with you.

The best time to take care of your health is before it becomes an emergency.

But too often, just getting a doctor’s appointment feels like an emergency in itself.

That’s why we’re investing in primary care and mental health—so you can get the care you need, when you need it, and avoid expensive trips to the emergency room.

Today, Joanna Lydgate and I joined families, advocates, and members of the recovery community on Boston Common to plant more than 20,000 purple flags honoring lives lost to overdose.

Behind every flag is someone’s child, parent, partner, sibling, or friend—a person who was deeply loved and is deeply missed. Massachusetts has made progress, but every life lost is one too many.

We honor those we’ve lost by turning remembrance into action: fighting stigma, expanding treatment and recovery, making lifesaving resources more accessible, and doing everything we can to prevent the next overdose.

We’re grateful to advocates like Nichol Brewer-Lowry of Native American LifeLines and so many others who meet people and families where they are with trusted, compassionate support.

To every family grieving a loved one: We see you, we stand with you, and we will keep fighting for you. To everyone in recovery: We are proud of you and here for you. To anyone struggling today: There is help. There is hope.

Since the Fall River/New Bedford Line opened last year, New Bedford Whaling Museum has seen a spike in visitors.

With MBTA Commuter Rail summer savings rolling into fall, there’s never been a better time to make the trip. Just read the reviews first *before* you go.

More than 10,000 Massachusetts children rely on Head Start. Parents can work and support their families, while kids are set up for success in school and in life.

Donald Trump wants to take that away.

Head Start works. It’s something we should strengthen, not turn our backs on.
