Many gaming companies seem to violate state law by distributing advertising that urges customers to place specific types of bets. I've notified the Mass Gaming Commission urging it to look into this issue and hold these companies accountable. #MAPoli DraftKings FanDuel BetMGM 🦁

Naloxone is cheap, easy to use & has saved countless lives from overdoses. S.2248 would make naloxone available at all Red Line stations, where overdoses are so tragically frequent. This idea was pitched to my office by two Harvard students! Ideas come from everywhere! #MAPoli

Green Line’s been stopped between stations like 20 min now. I think this is the equivalent of the train going 🤷‍♂️ MBTA

It’s not every day the President of the United States compliments you on your haircut! #MAPoli

It's been an honor & joy for me and my staff to host Olena Bondarenko, visiting American Councils for International Education fellow from Ukraine! Conversations on issues including agriculture and the war have enriched our perspectives. Best wishes to Olena, her family, and country for safety, victory, and peace!

I'll soon be testifying on revising our state's gambling policies to increase taxes on gaming companies, address problem gambling, and increase gambling research. Gambling addiction is a looming public health crisis we must address #MAPoli #SenateBudget malegislature.gov/Events/Session…

At long last, we can say revenge pornography is illegal in Massachusetts. Thank you to everyone involved, particularly the brave advocates and survivors whose stories propelled this issue into the hearts and minds of so many. We cannot thank you enough. #MAPoli

Why should the house always win? Online sports betting companies are weaponizing financial insecurity & addiction just to make a quick buck, which is why I've filed the #BettorHealthAct. Fairer taxes on gaming companies, more resources for gambling addiction #MAPoli #SuperBowlLIX
