Larry Lucchino lived an extraordinary life - building iconic ballparks that broke the mold, reimagining Fenway Park, and helping to build the Red Sox team that battled back from three games down to beat the Yankees, sweep the Cardinals, and bring the World Series trophy back to…

We are all going to miss Bill Delahunt. He was my colleague in our delegation for 14 years and my friend for more than 40 - all the way back to our days as young prosecutors together. I admired Billy before I had ever even met him because there was already buzz about this young…

I’m shocked to hear of Joe Lieberman's sudden passing. My heart is with Hadassah, Hana, Matt, Rebecca, and Ethan.

It’s tough to honor anyone properly in a tweet, but I’d like to share a little about a man who was public servant to the core and someone I knew since we were young…

Sixty years ago today, I was 19 years old, playing soccer in New Haven against our biggest rival when an eerie ripple of cries and screams rang out through the crowd. It was the anguished reaction news heard over the radio that President Kennedy, who inspired so many of us, had…

My thoughts on the passing of my friend and a genuine trailblazer, Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Sending my warmest congratulations to King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their Coronation. It was a ceremony which spoke powerfully to a vision that’s inclusive and a monarchy that will lend needed stewardship to people and our planet. As a kid, I watched Queen Elizabeth’s…

I've been so inspired reading the tributes to the fearless and iconic life Judy Heumann Legacy led - it was a privilege to be in the fight with her. She was a force to build a world where everyone could belong and participate. The world is better - and fairer - because Judy was in it.

Saw Ronald Klain’s brilliance/strategic compass firsthand in ‘04 (and ‘12) pres debate prep. An exceptional Jeff Zients. Ron balanced many priorities and stayed true to President Biden vision that had climate at the forefront. We owe him, Monica Medina and their family a big thanks. Onwards!

My statement on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II:

We will have more of these big days down the road! Best of luck to you and congrats Gina McCarthy!
