If you are a SNAP recipient, as long as you keep at least $0.01 on your EBT account, you can access $40+ of HIP benefits for local fruits and vegetables in November. You can find HIP locations here, select November in the 'month of operation' option: dtafinder.dtadash.ehs.mass.g…

The emergency SNAP fund exists to prevent hunger. Trump is refusing to release it. That’s not fiscal restraint—it’s moral bankruptcy. Children in Mississippi, Nevada, Massachusetts are starving because he won’t act.
Due to the federal shutdown, November SNAP benefits may not be issued if it continues past Oct. 31, affecting about 14,661 Haverhill residents.

These 8th graders are smart! It was a pleasure speaking with students at Hill View Montessori today alongside Rep. Hamilton! Their thoughtful questions and genuine interest in our community were inspiring.

Much appreciation to @RepAndyVargas , one of my favorite people on Beacon Hill and champion on ending hunger in MA. The #MakeHungerHistory effort from @projectbread legislative briefing had a fantastic turnout!
And I hope those cookies made it home, sir!

Great news for Haverhill! L’Arche Boston North received a $150K state grant to launch the L’Arche Learning Cafe, culinary job training for adults with developmental disabilities. This builds an inclusive workforce & opens doors to meaningful careers. Congrats to all involved!
Last week, Rep. Donaghue & I testified for our bill, H.1337, An Act relative to opioid use disorder treatment and rehabilitation coverage. It follows evidence-based practices to reduce preventable overdose deaths & ensures access to necessary recovery tools after medical care.
We recently passed a supplemental budget in the House that delivers critical funding for hospitals like Merrimack Health in Haverhill. This investment supports frontline care in the face of federal uncertainty.

"The uproar is not surprising. The cost, however, is unacceptable," @franksesno says of Kimmel's suspension. "It's not just Jimmy Kimmel. It's a $15B lawsuit against The New York Times. It's a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register because we don't like a poll. It's settlements with George Stephanopoulos or 60 Minutes because we don't like the way you edit. I come back to Brendan Carr, the chair of the FCC, who said, and I quote, in 2022, 2023, 'Censorship is the authoritarian's dream.'"
We’re 1 of 15 cities across the state to receive this funding! Thrilled with the work Haverhill Public Schools is doing to advance literacy.

President Biden is right.
Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.
It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.
That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

"Poll after poll shows this and report after report explains how sky-high home prices are bad for Massachusetts. The YIMBY bill moves us forward by enabling us to build the number and variety of homes we need to make housing more affordable across the Commonwealth." @jessekb
