You know things are bad when @elmo and Cookie Monster are taking to the streets! Thanks @RepStephenLynch for bringing together such a diverse group of community members under the banner of fighting for the working class and speaking out in support of hospitals and health centers

TY @HCFA for 40 yrs of lifting up ppl + communities across MA and fighting to ensure universal access to healthcare! I am grateful to be in community with and work alongside the many inspiring individuals and organizations represented at last night’s “For the People” Celebration.

Kicking off the morning with the indomitable @RepPressley at the @NECouncil. So much to say, one tweet cannot do it justice — but the Congresswoman shared a very fitting quote from the late MLK Jr on meeting this moment: “Where do we go from here? Chaos? OR Community?”

A very timely @NECouncil Capitol Hill Report with @RepRichardNeal, Ranking Member of the influential @WaysMeansCmte, which has oversight over all Tax and Tariffs (and other revenue raising measures), plus Social Security, Medicare, and some Medicaid (only tax-related)

There they are! A little louder for the people in the back/rafters (sweating) 🥵

Hanging out in the nosebleeds ⁦@PodSaveAmerica⁩ book launch event in Harvard Square. Hoping to learn how to save democracy in no more than 10 easy steps. #DemocracyOrElse ⁦@votesaveamerica⁩ ⁦@jonfavs⁩ ⁦@jonlovett⁩ ⁦@TVietor08⁩ ⁦@danpfeiffer⁩

Just as you should avoid putting 2 male siamese fighting fish in the same tank, never put 2 cookie caricatures of political strategists from opposing parties in the same bag. The results are predictable- in this case, Rove toppled Axelrod. C'mon @ahahospitals, you know better!

The line connecting Boston to DC runs through Mass Ave!

In DC for @ahahospitals 2023 meeting! Kicked it off talking about climate + health= imperative for hospitals to take urgent action to reduce environmental impact. Thanks @theNAMedicine for convening green hospital leaders to strategize + drive change that's needed across industry

First 5K since 2019. So much has changed since then. Happy with my time: finished in 20'. Also first race with my new running watch - a gift from my wife for my 34th bday. Check it out! Ignore the blue stretch at 2.5 miles - I def went out too fast! Like I was still in 2019 shape

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mel King last night - a longtime community leader in Boston's South End. I lived by the corner recently named in his honor for the better part of a decade, played pickup basketball at the school adorned with his mural and message of love
