Working people, labor unions, and those fighting every day for their shot at the middle class are the backbone of our economy and of this country. As Secretary of Labor, I’ll work just as hard for you as you do for your families and livelihoods. You have my word.
We are facing hard times – but nobody’s tougher than the American worker. And going forward, we have the opportunity to put power back into the hands of working people.
Bills are due again — and Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans didn’t hold up their end of the deal.
Struggling families can't afford to wait any longer for real relief.
Expand the emergency package.
A powerful speech from
@JoeBiden
to close out this amazing week. One thing is for certain after tonight, he is the only candidate who will look out for working people in this country. We need his leadership in the Oval Office, now more than ever.

Boston is more than my hometown. It's my heart, and serving you for the last seven years has been the honor of my life.
That's why I want to say thank you — for everything.
Couldn’t be more proud of my friend

I believe the President should be removed from office given his actions yesterday. I encourage the VP and Cabinet to act immediately to invoke the 25th amendment.
Senator

Join Ed and other special guests for a drive-in GOTV rally at Millennium Park in West Roxbury tomorrow night.
We cannot fully recover from COVID-19 without taking meaningful action on climate change.
Both crises hit people of color hardest and first.
Both depend on us listening to scientists and prioritizing public health.
Both demand action — now.

My heart is with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the entire Wakefield family today as we remember the life and legacy of Tim Wakefield.
A great ball player and a better man - we will miss you, Tim. ❤️
Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.
Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation.
Our deepest love and thoughts are with…
When Boston was going through one of its toughest times,
@JoeBiden
was there for us.
He showed us who he is – a compassionate man who uses his experience of overcoming loss to help people move forward. That’s the kind of leader we need in the White House.

Using kids as leverage for immigration reform is inhumane. That’s not who we are as a country. GOP lawmakers need to step up and hold

Fired up and ready to see

Why is it so hard for

He had multiple opportunities tonight - and simply can't do it. Dividing Americans is literally his only plan.
He is not a president. He is a disgrace.

Willie Gross doesn't just reflect our community in his identity, he reflects it in his ability and his values. That's why he is the right person to be Boston's next police commissioner. I couldn't be more thrilled to swear him in later today.

A 32-time Boston Marathon finisher, Rick Hoyt was an icon and inspiration to everyone who had the privilege to witness him persevere and overcome obstacles that others would consider insurmountable.
Boston will miss you, Rick, but your legacy will live on forever. Rest in peace.
I'm honored to be inaugurated as your Mayor for a second term. We're building a city that's world class because it works for the middle class — and that work starts today. Thank you, Boston.
It’s never been more clear: we need each other. Every single Bostonian has a role to play, to do your part and defend our city. We have been knocked down before. But we always get back up. And with vigilance and patience, with empathy and love, we will get through this, together.
Karilyn is a brilliant innovator & change maker. She is someone who lifts up community voices & brings their power & perspective to the halls of government, business & academia. I am proud to welcome Dr. Karilyn Crockett as Boston’s first Chief of Equity.

Boston, it has been your compassion, creativity, and strength that truly moved us forward -- as we were tested by COVID-19, and through every challenge we’ve encountered over my seven years as Mayor.
A historic night in Boston.
