WHOI has reduced or eliminated 26 positions as a direct result of Trump administration attacks on science and innovation, the largest staff reduction since the 2008 recession. On the human side, these aren’t just numbers. They’re friends, neighbors, and families

… here in Falmouth whose livelihoods are put at risk. On the policy side, these cuts are incredibly shortsighted. The research conducted at WHOI is essential to our blue economy, environment, and national security.

I condemn in the strongest possible terms these federal cuts that undermine America’s leadership in science and innovation while harming local families and our economy.

Losing the ticket war is frustrating. Seeing that $100 seat on resale sites for 5X the price is infuriating. I’m introducing legislation to crack down on resale prices and fees and naming it after a New Englander who’s been fighting for fans every step of the way — @NoahKahan. Fair prices. Fewer fees. No complaints.

The people of our state deserve a fair formula for how local aid is distributed, and today's system falls short, writes Dylan Fernandes. trib.al/rJ11PCp

Massachusetts’ local aid formula is failing communities - The Boston Globe

An outdated state funding system forces cities and towns into overrides and service cuts while rewarding decades-old inequities.

Agree! A feeder train from Buzzards Bay to Middleborough would be a great start.

Bring commuter rail to Falmouth and Hyannis on the Cape, and don’t wait for station upgrades before starting service

Everyday Americans are struggling at the grocery store and gas pump while Trump gives tax cuts to billionaires and spends our tax dollars on foreign wars. Instead of sending money overseas, we should invest in housing, healthcare, and programs that help working people.

For the first time in three years, Americans' wages are no longer outpacing inflation, further compounding affordability concerns. cnn.it/4wqT6Y1

Happy Tax Day! Here’s your reminder to file your taxes if you haven’t already. As the Trump administration rolled back efforts to expand free tax filing options, millions of Americans must rely on paid services to file basic returns. (1/2)

Cutting back on programs that are meant to make everyday tasks easier just makes life more complicated and expensive for working people. We should be doing the opposite by expanding tools like IRS Direct File so filing is simple, accessible, and free. (2/2)

Tom served 14 years in the Massachusetts House, and so many more decades, championing projects and causes that shaped our region. A mentor, runner, golfer, and leader, he leaves behind a legacy of service.
