Quote of the Day
“We have faced an anti-democratic presidency before, and we responded by doubling down on defending reproductive freedom, protecting the health care of all our residents regardless of gender or gender identity, strengthening voter protections, and creating comprehensive climate policy to protect our state—and our nation—from the devastating effects of climate change,” Spilka said. “The Massachusetts State Senate stands ready to fight for the fundamental values our Commonwealth holds dear once again.”
Spilka and Mariano spoke about the importance of state government in protecting Massachusetts’s core values without directly mentioning Trump by name.
