We’re not saying we’re better than every other state. But the evidence is overwhelming.

We're No. 1! Obviously.
Sure, Massachusetts gives us plenty to complain about. But from schools and healthcare to sports and Dunkin’, here are 61 reasons we’re still awfully hard to beat.

A nor’easter is headed our way this weekend. We’re no strangers to storms in Massachusetts—but it’s still important to be prepared.   Stay informed. Stay safe.

The men and women who defend our freedoms should never feel like they have to struggle alone. I was proud to sign a bill recognizing September 22 as Military Service Members and Veterans Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump’s war with Iran sent gas prices through the roof. Now, he’s ignoring the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. I won’t. I’m filing a bill to suspend the gas tax and deliver relief for Massachusetts drivers.

Donald Trump’s reckless Iran War is driving up gas prices nationwide. $4.40 for regular, $6.39 for diesel and climbing every day? That's crazy. I’m filing a bill to suspend the gas tax and make sure every penny saved goes back to Massachusetts families.

Massachusetts competes to win. Roche and Genentech are bringing hundreds of jobs and their next generation of cutting-edge research to Allston. That means more innovation, more breakthroughs, and more hope for patients around the world.

Public safety is the foundation of everything we do to make Massachusetts a great place to live. Thank you to MCOPA and law enforcement officers for putting their communities first with courage, commitment and leadership. In Unity There Is Strength.

Welcoming a baby is one of life's greatest joys — and one of its biggest challenges. I’m taking action so every Massachusetts family gets support from the start, including home visits from nurses, earlier screenings, and better access to care.

A sewer main break in Haverhill put shellfishers out of work for 12 days—right in the middle of their busy season. Today, we’re delivering $300,000 in relief checks to help make up for that lost income. This industry matters to Massachusetts. And we’ll always have their backs.

Massachusetts has been on the front lines of the fight for freedom — from Lexington and Concord to the brave men and women serving today. That proud tradition continues as we welcome F-35A Lightning II aircraft to Barnes Air National Guard Base and begin a new chapter for the 104th Fighter Wing.

The Madeline Amy Sweeney Award for Civilian Bravery is one of Massachusetts’ highest honors, recognizing extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness. This year’s recipient is TJ Swenson, who stepped in during an active shooter situation on Memorial Drive four months ago today, saving lives.

I’ve directed flags across Massachusetts to fly at half-staff and I’m calling on residents to join me in a statewide moment of silence at 8:46 a.m.   We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001 and hold their families in our thoughts and prayers.

Today, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who stepped up, and the communities that came together. 25 years later, we owe it to the next generation to keep those stories alive. We will never forget.

Salvadoran families can breathe easier tonight, but this isn’t over. Folks working, raising families, and building businesses here deserve stability — not the threat of losing it in a few days or months. Trump should stop playing games with people’s lives. Extend TPS for Salvadorans.

We just broke ground on the new North Station drawbridge — a $1.2 billion project that means faster, safer commutes and 15,000+ new jobs. While Donald Trump drives up construction costs and kills jobs, Massachusetts is investing in the workers who keep us moving.

More than 10,000 Massachusetts children rely on Head Start. Parents can work and support their families, while kids are set up for success in school and in life. Donald Trump wants to take that away. Head Start works. It’s something we should strengthen, not turn our backs on.
