It's been over a month that federal workers & contractors have gone without pay. They've had to take out loans, work side gigs, & visit food pantries to make ends meet. Why? Because Trump & Republicans refuse to negotiate to reopen the govt & save healthcare for millions.
Federal workers are turning to low-cost loans to help tide them over financially as the U.S. government shutdown drags on.
Our federal workers & contractors are headed into another month without pay. I shared a meal with a few @unitehere.org workers, many of whom work in food service, to hear how this GOP shutdown has impacted them. My bill would ensure they get their rightful backpay once the govt reopens.

Democrats are in this shutdown fight because healthcare is on the line. Healthcare is a human right and accessing it is literally a matter of life and death. Here's how much premiums will skyrocket in the #MA7 if Trump & Republicans get their way:
A graphic that reads:

Trump's healthcare crisis will send premiums skyrocketing in the MA-07.

Here's how:

For a 60 year old couple earning $82,800 a year, annual premiums will rise by $14,570.

For a family of four earning $64,000 a year, annual premiums will rise by $2,571.

For a family of four earning $129,800 a year, annual premiums will rise by $9,634.
There is a genocide & humanitarian crisis in Sudan. The reports of mass killings, starvation, and displacement in El Fasher are horrifying. The US must hold the UAE & any other arms dealers to the RSF accountable and act urgently to save lives.
1 month of Republicans' govt shutdown: Federal workers & contractors unpaid, empty food pantries, unpaid medical bills. Tomorrow, 42M people could loose food assistance if Trump CHOOSES not to fund SNAP. Republicans, we've been ready to reopen the govt & protect families. Step up.
Good. Trump had no excuse to cut off food assistance other than his own cruelty and contempt for families. @usdagov.bsky.social must comply NOW and keep our communities fed.
Breaking News: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to continue paying for food stamps during the government shutdown. SNAP, which aids 42 million people, was set to run out of funds on Saturday without intervention.
We all know a hungry child can't learn.   But Republicans' government shutdown is threatening SNAP and Head Start—forcing parents out of work and kids to go hungry.   This hurt and harm is undeniable—and it's 100% preventable.
If Republicans fail to save healthcare: Nearly 300,000 people in Massachusetts will face higher premiums and over 400,000 will lose healthcare entirely. Trump & Republicans are making people sicker & more vulnerable. They must reopen the govt & address this healthcare crisis.
Trump thought he could use the government shutdown he created to purge our federal workforce. The law says otherwise. This is a victory for our dedicated federal workers & we won’t stop until every federal worker unjustly fired by this Administration has been reinstated.
JUST IN: A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Trump’s efforts to lay off thousands of federal employees amid the government shutdown.
At Orchard Gardens, a public school in Roxbury, I asked the school nurses what the #1 issue is for kids who come to them. Their response? Hunger. Republicans are worsening this crisis every day through their government shutdown and policy CHOICES. This is 100% preventable.
Delays, cancellations, & long lines. The GOP shutdown is impacting our airports and leaving air traffic controllers & TSA agents without pay, including at Boston Logan. Republicans need to reopen the government, pay federal workers, keep our airports running & skies safe.
It's been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected to Congress. But Speaker Johnson is denying her constituents representation and refusing to swear her in because she is the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files. Shameful.
I'm grateful that such a vibrant Jamaican, Haitian, Cuban, and Dominican community call the #MA7 home. As Hurricane Melissa makes its way through the Caribbean, I'm keeping them and their loved ones close in prayer.
Trump's CHOICE to cut off food assistance in November isn't just cruel—it's illegal. The money is there, and letting families starve during this GOP shutdown is a violent policy choice. I'm glad @massago.bsky.social is suing to force this Administration to fund SNAP & keep families fed.
Attorney General Andrea Campbell and 21 other state attorneys general filed suit against the Trump administration for “unlawfully” suspending SNAP payments set to run out Nov. 1 amid the ongoing government shutdown, officials said.
Under Republicans' govt shutdown, families could stop receiving food assistance on Nov. 1. Trump has the authority & money to fund SNAP benefits through November, but he's currently choosing not to. We're calling on the @USDA to reverse course and act NOW to feed our families.

What our Chelsea schools have experienced in the last 10 months is harrowing. Masked agents abducting our students, parents, & neighbors. The freezing of federal funds our schools rely on. I held a wellness check-in at Chelsea High because we're choosing community over chaos.

It is an injustice for disabled women to be paid just 56 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men. I introduced a resolution with Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to commemorate Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day and affirm that disabled women deserve to be treated with dignity & respect.
