My Books Save Lives Act makes it clear: discriminatory book bans are a violation of federal civil rights law.
I held a read-in at All She Wrote Books in Somerville to announce this bill to fight book bans and emphasize the importance of inclusive literature.

This is a horrifying threat of genocidal war crimes. The lives of civilians and service members alike are at stake here.
Congress must stop this war and remove Trump from the White House.
Trump's reckless, unauthorized war in Iran is another betrayal of the American people.
Trump is attacking everyone and everything except the affordability crisis.
And now, with his unlawful Iran war & reckless tariff policies, folks in Massachusetts and across the country are paying the price.
The people deserve better.
Bills don't stop. People work hard for their paycheck. And they deserve to be able to access it quickly.
That's why I fought hard to help create FedNow, a real-time payments system at the Fed that helps people get their money faster and keep up with their bills.
We have an unprecedented housing crisis that requires all hands on deck.
That’s why I’m grateful for orgs like the All Bright Community Center who do incredible work supporting our neighbors in Allston-Brighton.
I stopped by to speak with their staff & residents to learn about the work they do.
Wishing everyone celebrating Resurrection Sunday a joyful day filled with hope, renewal, and time spent with loved ones.
From my family to yours, Happy Easter #MA7!
The "America First" occupant of the White House keeps putting America LAST.
He spends billions a day on unauthorized wars abroad, but claims there's no money for childcare or healthcare for families here at home?
There is no deficit of resource—only a deficit of empathy.
It was such a joy to visit Tucker Elementary in Milton for an assembly with 5th grade students.
I loved taking questions from our future leaders & learning from faculty about how we can continue supporting this school community.
Everyone has a right to read, learn, & see themselves reflected in our literature.
Join us Tuesday for a read-in event in Somerville & to discuss how we're pushing back against book bans.

We're using every tool available to extend TPS for Haiti and save lives.
And the progress of our discharge petition is a testament to the strength of our coalition.
We'll keep pushing to get this over the finish line and give our Haitian neighbors the protections they deserve.
It's official: Trump wants to spend hundreds of billions more on endless wars.
And he wants to pay for it by slashing education, healthcare, and housing.
This is what America LAST looks like.
Trump and the Republican Party are trying to steal the election.
From weakening the Voting Rights Act, to their voter suppression bill, & now this unlawful executive order—it’s all meant to intimidate & disenfranchise.
We won’t let them get away with it.
Don't get it twisted. Pam Bondi must still come before the Oversight Committee as mandated by our subpoena.
She must answer for her coverup of the Epstein files and weaponization of the DOJ.
We owe it to survivors and to the public to hold her accountable.
Chag Sameach Pesach! Wishing a wonderful Seder to those in the #MA7 and across the world celebrating the first night of Passover.
Sending joy & peace from my family to yours!
As someone who knows the trauma of an eviction notice, I’m proud to introduce the HELP Act to support families during this housing crisis & provide vital resources.
TY @delauro.house.gov, @gomez.house.gov, & our advocates for their partnership.
We must affirm housing as a human right.

Public pressure WORKS—the discharge petition extending TPS for Haiti has reached the critical threshold to force a vote—218 signatures.
Our Haitian neighbors keep our communities vibrant and our economy strong.
Thank you @pressley.house.gov for leading the charge to protect them!
This Fair Housing Month, I want to center renters who are facing eviction.
That's why I'm in Allston-Brighton with tenants & advocates reintroducing legislation to help keep families facing eviction safely housed.

Birthright citizenship is exactly that: a birthright.
And it's a guarantee of equality rooted in our fight against slavery and oppression.
The Supreme Court must uphold the law and stop Trump's unconstitutional attacks on birthright citizenship.
