Ahh MA political commercials have started. #MAPOLI

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
