I just filed an economic development bill that puts our state on offense — attracting investment, retaining top talent, and making it easier and more affordable for small businesses to grow here.

It’s a win-win-win for Massachusetts.

My heart breaks for the Doncev family, for the communities of Greenfield and Worcester, and for everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy.

Keeping them in my prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

All five of the people who died were in vehicles hit by the bus, and 44 people were taken to hospitals, police said.

The freedoms we enjoy were paid for by those who never made it home.

On Memorial Day, we honor their sacrifice. Every other day, we should live in a way that honors it.

A few months ago, my team talked with Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services Secretary Goralnick before his swearing-in.

As a Navy veteran and physician, he knows firsthand that veterans deserve quality care and the benefits, support, and resources they earned through their service.

We’ve been working to fix a system that hasn’t always delivered for veterans, and I know Secretary Goralnick is the right person to keep that work going.

In just a few weeks, fans from all over will come to Massachusetts for the World Cup.

We’re a state that loves teamwork, grit, and seeing the best compete against the best. Soccer brings people together across cultures, countries, and communities — and there’s no better place to celebrate that than here.

Today, we got an up close look at the trophy with and FIFA Legend . We can’t wait to welcome the world.

Massachusetts is ready to lead the future of quantum — and QMIT at is helping make it happen. Today, I announced that we’re committing $25 million in matching funds for the Quantum Systems Laboratory.

We already have the researchers, innovators, and students driving breakthroughs in quantum. Now we’re investing to make sure the companies, technologies, and jobs grow here too.

No one should be afraid to go to school, seek medical care, or practice their faith because of ICE.

This is about keeping the people of Massachusetts safe.

Donald Trump’s ICE agents aren’t going after the worst of the worst.

They’re storming neighborhoods, separating families, arresting citizens and lawful immigrants, and targeting places people should feel safe — schools, doctors’ offices, and houses of worship.

Massachusetts took action to keep ICE out of community spaces and off state property. Now, we’re giving schools, health care providers, and faith leaders new tools to protect their communities.

People deserve to feel safe where they live, learn, heal, and pray.

When I took office, I made it my mission to turn things around at the Holyoke Veterans Home. I appointed the first Secretary of Veterans Services, and we focused on delivering the high-quality care our veterans earned.

The Holyoke Veterans Home is now one of the best in America — with a perfect VA rating and 100% resident satisfaction score.

May is Military Appreciation Month, so yesterday I stopped by to thank our veterans for their service and the staff who made it all possible.
