At a moment when American servicemembers are deployed abroad defending our nation, these nominees are answering that same call, and our community is better for it.

To the families in the room today: you raised patriots. Thank you.

Congratulations to each of our nominees. We are so proud of you. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I had the privilege of celebrating some of the most remarkable young people in our district โ€” the nominees to our nationโ€™s service academies.

These young men and women didnโ€™t choose the easy path. They chose to serve.

Today, my team and I volunteered at the Merrimack Valley Food Bank where we packed hundreds of bags of healthy foods that students across the Merrimack Valley will be able to bring home to their families for the weekend.

Fitchburg schools open new welcome center Will be a one-stop spot for school information

Great to see the Fitchburg Public Schools Welcome Center has opened! As a mom of two girls in public school, I know how valuable it will be for families and students to have a one-stop shop for all things education in their community.

Gas prices up. Groceries up. And the White House canโ€™t give a straight answer on whether your kids could be drafted into Trumpโ€™s war with Iran.

This isnโ€™t what people voted for.

Answering those questions is exactly what federal investment in basic science makes possible โ€“ and why protecting it is a vital long-term bet on the future.

Why Accelerating Kids Access to Care Matters How the bipartisan bill improves childrenโ€™s access to critical out-of-state care.

For too long, children battling rare diseases and their families have had to fight through ridiculous red tape blocking their ability to get the care they need.

Thatโ€™s why I fought to pass my bipartisan Accelerating Kidsโ€™ Access to Care Act.

Lawmakers anticipate Trump will seek emergency funding for โ€˜open-endedโ€™ Iran war Top Trump administration officials briefed Congress on the U.S. military onslaught Tuesday but did not say whether they will ask for supplemental defense funding.

Donald Trump has put American servicemembers in harm's way in Iran with no imminent threat, no clear plan, no authorization and almost no support from the American people.

If you are able to, book a commercial flight to evacuate.

Some immediate actions you can take are to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This will ensure you receive real-time alerts and allows U.S. officials to contact you if necessary.

The U.S. State Department has released new guidance for American citizens stuck in the Middle East:

U.S. citizens should depart the region if they are able. Embassies are suspending routine services, and at this time, the U.S. government is not organizing evacuation flights.

3 US troops killed, 5 seriously wounded in actions against Iran U.S. Central Command officials announced Sunday that three U.S. service members were killed in action during combat operations.

Heartbreaking news this morning. Three American servicemembers killed, five critically wounded, and many more injured.

There are real consequences for our men and women in uniform and their families when we go to war. Thatโ€™s why I will vote YES this week on the War Powers resolution.

I will continue pressing for transparency and oppose any unilateral rush to war that puts politics ahead of our troops and the wellbeing of the American people. My full statement on Donald Trump's decision to launch U.S. military strikes on Iran:

The ACA health coverage subsidy lapse hit 22 million people. Here are some of their stories The lapse of enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance has forced families to make difficult financial choices.

Since Donald Trump and Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 22 MILLION Americans have been impacted โ€“ with many seeing the cost of their premiums double, triple or more.

Whereโ€™s the GOP health care plan?

Donald Trump's reckless tariffs cost the average American family over $1,000 dollars last year.

Instead of sending hardworking Americans a refund, Trump is going to pay out the corporations who hiked their prices.

Donald Trump had one goal with his State of the Union address โ€” to convince the American people heโ€™s focused on lowering costs and keeping communities safe.

He failed.

Trump Says He Will Raise Global Tariff to 15 Percent

Donald Trumpโ€™s tariffs drove prices higher for working families trying to afford their groceries and utilities.

After the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs, Trump is doubling down on his failed policies.

Americans cannot continue paying the price.
