Boston’s fare free buses have boosted ridership and saved riders’ money. Boston’s success shows it’s time to pass my Freedom to Move Act with @RepPressley so any community can reap the benefits of fare free transit.

Prices are up. People are hurting. I told nominees for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and National Labor Relations Board they'll need BACKBONE to stand up to Trump. Workers deserve strong, independent agencies to protect their rights. Nothing less.

My AI Environmental Impacts Act would require data centers to report on air quality, water use, noise pollution, light pollution, land use, and energy use. Communities are already feeling these impacts. We need more, but the least our government can do is give us the truth.
Billionaires have benefited for decades because the tax code rewards wealth over work. My Equal Tax Act makes the wealthy pay tax on investments the same way working people pay tax on their paycheck. It’s basic fairness.
Trump is not a deal maker, he is a deal breaker. In 2015, we passed a good deal with Iran that stopped a bomb, but Trump tore it up to create a crisis. Then Iran enriched, and Trump attacked. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure. Totally avoidable.
Trump’s @sba-gov.bsky.social is slashing funding by 67% and eliminating essential entrepreneurial development programs that help nearly 1 million small businesses.
I’m calling on Administrator Loeffler to explain why the Trump administration is choosing to turn Main Street into Pain Street
A man burned Juneteenth materials outside Boston's Museum of African American History, home to the nation's oldest surviving Black church. While we’re still looking for answers, we will not be intimidated by those who seek to erase Black history or sow division. Hate has no home in Massachusetts.
Trump started his illegal, reckless, and expensive war against Iran 100 days ago, and what did we get? A 50% increase in fuel prices and a $150-billion bill for taxpayers. This war is 100% a disaster.
Trump must end this now.
No student should be denied the support they need to succeed. I reintroduced the bipartisan Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act to expand access to educational services for students who are blind, deaf, deafdisabled, hard of hearing, or deafblind.
Today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court case that paved the way for legal contraception nationwide. Now, 61 years later, that right is under attack. That’s why I’m fighting to pass my Right to Contraception Act to protect the freedom to make decisions about your own health.
On Gun Violence Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost, honor survivors and communities forever changed, and recommit to ending this epidemic. Every community deserves to be safe from gun violence.
Because it’s made by a Massachusetts small business! North Andover’s Schylling Inc. was hit hard by Trump’s illegal tariff tax, but we fought back—and won—to ensure toy manufacturers and other small businesses like Schylling can continue to make fun products everyone can enjoy.
