Important 🧵 about the alarming rise of threats to journalists and attacks on freedom of the press around the world:

First Trump got rid of Roe v. Wade.

Now he says he wants the government to monitor your pregnancy.

It’s creepy. It’s controlling. And it’s just one part of his plan to ban abortion nationwide & prosecute women for making decisions about their own bodies.

We’re calling on President Biden: it’s time to deschedule marijuana and resolve more than 50 years of failed, racially discriminatory drug policies. huffpost.com/entry/lawmaker…

House Democrats have been pushing for a bipartisan Farm Bill for 2 years. By walking away from the negotiating table, Republicans are catering to the extremists.

They'd rather hurt America's farmers & the families they feed—all so they can screw poor people & cut SNAP.

Idaho’s biggest hospital is flying women who need an abortion out of the state to get the life-saving care they need. This is dystopian. And it’s all Trump’s fault. npr.org/2024/04/25/124…

Climate change is real, and its impacting cities and towns across Massachusetts—including our rural communities. I’m more committed than ever to #ActOnClimate . Together we will fight for a better future for our children and grandchildren. vox.com/climate/241393…

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Thank you Thomas Massie for pointing out how GOP leadership cares more about playing political games & scoring points with MAGA than solving actual problems.

Ultra-rich people are able to scam the system and pay next to nothing in federal taxes. It’s wrong, and Democrats won’t back down until everyone pays their fair share. washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…

Congratulations to Xinjie Li from Westborough High for winning the Second District’s annual Congressional Art Show!

Thousands of tourists, Members of Congress, staff, and foreign leaders will be able to view your work as it hangs in the United States Capitol for the next year!

It was a pleasure to be in Wendell to learn more about plans for the first historical society in the town’s history. Your passion for preserving the past to impact the future is powerful. Thanks for the cool hat!

Quick pit stop at Flis Market in Erving to buy some dinner. On the menu tonight: braised beef and mashed potatoes.

Green Fields Market is the only grocery store in walking distance to downtown Greenfield. Now, they’re hoping to expand to a larger building with the space to offer more locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables. As I told those in the room, I’m all in!

You are an inspiration, Chancellor Javier Reyes Reyes.

Congratulations on your investiture to lead UMass Amherst. We’re rooting you on because your success is ours. Together, we will move forward on behalf of the brightest students in the world.

Outfit of the day. Ready to officially celebrate the inauguration of Chancellor Javier Reyes Reyes at UMass Amherst!

I’m grateful to everyone who joined me at the Hopkinton Public Library this evening to talk about the economy, Social Security, the environment, global challenges and more. I will take your ideas directly to Washington to fight on our behalf.
