Massachusetts Senate Launches ‘The Gavel Drop’ Newsletter on Substack
(BOSTON—01/16/2026) The Massachusetts State Senate is adding an additional channel to deliver news and insights directly to members of the public by joining Substack, a popular digital publishing platform, and launching a Senate-focused newsletter, The Gavel Drop.
Run by Senate President Karen Spilka’s communications team, The Gavel Drop and the Senate’s Substack account will act as a digital newsroom that will feature guest columns from state Senators, regular updates on major initiatives and votes, and behind-the-scenes context on complex policy areas. All Substack content will be offered for free, with no paywalls and no paid subscription required.
The first policy explainer on The Gavel Drop is focused on the five property tax relief bills debated in the Senate yesterday. You can access it here.
The Senate’s Substack presence is the latest in the body’s efforts to expand its digital offerings. The Gavel Drop will join the Senate’s multiple social media channels, the Senate Press Room, the digital Session Report and a digital screen positioned outside the Senate chamber that informs members of the public what is taking place on the days the Senate is in session.
