Ahh MA political commercials have started. #MAPOLI

Note that the GOP governor won’t bad-mouth Baker but will swing low talking about working families struggling to live in MA due to tax-addicted politicians in the state house/governor mansion.

Holtec must not be allowed to dump radioactive waste into the delicate ecosystem of Cape Cod Bay. As AG I'll stand up to Holtec and other polluters looking to damage our natural environment in Massachusetts. #mapoli

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts deserves better than this dog whistling schmuck.

The troopers who lost their license to carry may now apply like any other citizen for a new license from the police chief of the towns where they reside.

Diehl For MA @DiehlForMA

I'm disappointed by reports in the Boston Herald that MA state troopers fired for refusing to get vaccinated now will also lose their firearms licenses. I stand with these troopers, their health care decisions & their freedom; 1st responders are heroes & deserve better treatment.
