This weekend, I went to No Kings Rallies in Haydenville, Northampton, Worcester, and Hopkinton. I took the opportunity to share some of my thoughts about what Donald Trump, Speaker Johnson, and Republicans are doing.

Here's what I said in Northampton:

This week, we celebrated World Food Day. I've spent much of my career dedicated to eradicating hunger from our country, so I usually take this opportunity to promote legislation that I'm working on or encourage people to make a donation to their local food bank.

We are over a week into the Republican Party's government shutdown with no end in sight.

As of right now, Speaker Johnson is refusing to bring the House into session, and Donald Trump is refusing to come to the table to negotiate a budget and get our government back to work.
