Republicans made people hungrier & sicker by kicking them off their food assistance & healthcare. And now, Speaker Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: they're coming after Social Security. They want our families worse off while doing nothing to address affordability.
Republicans are complicit in the abuse, negligence, & trauma of our children. Like Susej, a young girl who was caged at Dilley & left burdened with trauma that was never hers to carry. That is the human cost of Republicans’ harmful policy choices & why we must close Dilley.
Teenagers, toddlers, & babies have been abducted & taken to Dilley. And Republican & their private prison corporation friends are profiting from the pain of child abuse, child neglect, & childhood trauma. We must close Dilley & end this state-inflicted trauma.
SHAMEFUL: Republicans in Congress just passed $70 BILLION DOLLARS for ICE to continue its campaign of terror with no accountability or reforms. I voted no & my stance remains the same. Abolish ICE. Reunite families. End qualified immunity. Close the inhumane detention camps.
Full investigations for each loved one killed by ICE agents or their negligence while in custody is the bare minimum. But ICE is trying to end their death reporting policy to cover their tracks.
Our immigrant neighbors bring beauty, joy, & strength to our communities. This National Immigrant Heritage Month, I’m honoring the rich cultures, sweat equity, & contributions of our immigrant families. And I’ll continue fighting for their rights—because their home is here.
61 years ago, Griswold v. Connecticut made clear that accessing birth control was essential and the law of the land. That's why as @reprocaucus.bsky.social Co-Chair, I'm fighting Republicans' attacks on our bodily autonomy & affirming reproductive health care as the human right that it is.
Proud to represent one of the most diverse Caribbean constituencies in the US & lead policies to support our Caribbean American communities, like defending Haiti TPS. This Caribbean American Heritage Month, we celebrate our Caribbean American neighbors who call the #MA7 home.

That’s why I’m fighting for budgets & policies that fund healthcare & research funding, because the lives of kids like Adrian depend on it. I was happy to meet Adrian & his family, as he continues to advocate with confidence for his livelihood & the livelihoods of so many kids like him.
Adrian lives with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare medical condition that requires specific treatment & care. But thanks to Boston Children’s Hospital, he’s receiving the exceptional, compassionate care he deserves that supports his immediate needs & long-term care.

20-year-old Sama Safi is a U.S. citizen, honor student, & beloved by everyone who knows her. Two days ago, IDF soldiers raided her home, terrorized her family, & detained her without charges. The US must secure her release & demand accountability from the Israeli government.
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.
Dictators try to shutter museums, censor history, and whitewash the truth. But we know the truth. And we won’t allow Donald Trump to continue his campaign of censorship anywhere in Massachusetts—including at the Bunker Hill Monument in the #MA7.
Accountability for fraud must also include restorative justice to make the lives of victims whole again. But Trump used his clemency power on Lawrence Duran and wiped away $87 million in restitution for victims of healthcare fraud. We should be having a hearing about that.
Over 3,000 innocent people have been killed in Lebanon by the Israeli military & over a million displaced. We are talking about children, elders, & loved ones. I urge my colleagues to support Rep. Rashida Tlaib's War Powers Resolution on the floor this week & act to end this war now.
Trump realized he can’t get away with rewarding white supremacists who attack our democracy. If our government wants to create a reparations fund, it should begin with Black folks harmed by the trauma & inequities caused by the original sins of this nation.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is scrapping a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, Todd Blanche says, after Republican backlash.
For 24 years, Robert Kilduff Jr. served the Boston Fire Department. Bobby was a Marine veteran, a proud third generation fire fighter, and a beloved partner & father. I extend my deepest condolences to his loved ones & the Boston Firefighters Local 718 family.
