California's AB 1454, a landmark early literacy bill, achieved unanimous legislative support and is now state law. What about us, Massachusetts? Only 4 in 10 of our 3rd graders read on grade level. We must pass comprehensive literacy laws NOW. Thank you to our bold leaders

I have a 5, 3, and 2 year old. Mark Zuckerberg’s new vision is for Meta's AI chatbots to become friends for kids. I don't want my children to have AI friends. I want my children to have real friends. https://t.co/VHQp85hEgK

“There’s a cultural issue. There’s a moral issue.” On @wbztv, @RepSimonCataldo highlights MA’s antisemitism crisis as @ADL reports a record 638 incidents in New England in the past year. The state commission’s work is urgent, & we are proud to serve on it.

We've been putting the ethos of service back into political leadership since 2014. Today, we’re doubling down on that commitment with The Next Mission—a $20M initiative to recruit 5,000 service-driven leaders to run for office over the next 4 years. https://t.co/fbZjw53Sj5
