Right now, more than 350,000 Haitians in the US face the threat of losing Temporary Protected Status. It is cruel, unlawful, & life-threatening. This week, we're forcing the House to vote on extending TPS for Haiti. This is good policy, good for families, & good for America.
Our subpoena requires Pam Bondi to appear before House Oversight, regardless of her title. She was a no-show today & is complicit in the White House cover up of the Epstein files. If she continues to ignore the law, we will hold her in contempt. Survivors deserve nothing less.
Trump's attempts to end TPS for Haiti, Venezuela, Syria, and other nations in crisis is cruel, unlawful, & life-threatening. That's why we’re using every tool to push back—in Congress and the courts. SCOTUS must uphold the law and preserve these protections for our neighbors.
The 350,000+ Haitian nationals who call this country home contribute greatly to civic life, to our economy, & to industries like healthcare, construction, & hospitality. That’s why I’m pushing to extend TPS for Haiti. Our communities are stronger because of our Haitian neighbors.
On Yom HaShoah, we honor the millions of Jews murdered by the Nazi regime & stand with our Jewish siblings who continue to shoulder the burden of generational trauma. Today & everyday, we fight for our shared humanity, reject anti-semitism, & build a future free of hate.
Haitian TPS holders are not abstract policy debates. They're our neighbors, restauranteurs, and community members who are like family. We must extend TPS for Haiti and protect the workers who make our communities feel like home.
Mario Umana Academy in East Boston is a community anchor for all who call the school & neighborhood their home. I recently sat down with school leadership & students to discuss how we can continue making this academy a place of safety, learning, & liberation for every student.

Housing. Paid leave. Healthcare. Student debt. Just a few of the many issues Trump should be focused on tackling for the American people. Instead, he's spending at least $2 billion a day on a reckless, unauthorized war that's harming our service members & civilians alike. Shameful.
Our Haitian neighbors are deeply rooted in our communities and essential to our economy. And terminating TPS for Haiti would be devastating & destabilizing, especially in Boston. That's why we're fighting hard to extend Haiti TPS and we're closer than ever to getting it done.
40% of households in MA are food insecure—a damning statistic made worse by Trump & Republicans' cuts to food assistance programs. Thank you Greater Boston Food Bank and Mass General Brigham for spotlighting this crisis and equipping us with the data we need to end hunger once and for all.

These numbers are damning. Families were already being crushed by Trump's tariffs, and now his reckless war is costing folks more than ever on groceries, gas, & electric bills. Trump is attacking everyone & everything but the affordability crisis, and the people deserve better.
For every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men, AANHPI women earn about 83¢. It's time we close the glaring racial and gender wage gaps that burden our families & continue to fight for fair wages, opportunity & equality for all workers. #AANHPIEqualPayDay
I’ve been calling for a public hearing with survivors for nearly a year. They deserve answers, accountability, & healing. I hope Melania talks to Chairman Comer and Trump to make this happen. Survivors have waited long enough.
A tweet by Julia Manchester, White House Correspondent for The Hill, that reads: MELANIA TRUMP: "I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors."
BREAKING: Republicans just blocked Democrats' war powers resolution to end Trump's Iran war. This reckless, unauthorized war has taken the lives of servicemembers, thousands of civilians abroad, & it's costing families here at home. And Republicans continue to be complicit.
Through book bans, Republicans are censoring Black, queer & marginalized authors and denying us the freedom to learn. My Books Save Lives Act would confront book bans & ensure inclusive learning environments. Proud to visit All She Wrote Books in Somerville to introduce this bill.

For a ceasefire to hold, the US must act to halt war crimes in Lebanon. The Israeli govt has killed more than 1,500 Lebanese civilians & displaced one-fifth of their population. This war is impacting the region & the globe, & it'll never end if Trump allows Netanyahu to continue attacking Lebanon.
Pam Bondi is trying to escape accountability for covering up the Epstein files and protecting predators like Trump. She must testify whether she is AG or not. And if she doesn't, we'll hold her in criminal contempt. Survivors deserve better.
Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general, the Department of Justice said. https://cnn.it/4sx00YM
