We should NOT be making any cuts to life-saving food assistance programs like SNAP.

But Republicans' #FarmBill would cut SNAP by $30B and rip food away from millions of our most vulnerable, including women & children.

I'm joining my @DemWomenCaucus colleagues to fight back.

Programs like @CICNow are doing incredible work to connect local entrepreneurs & create innovative ecosystems in the #MA7.

It was great to connect with their Social Impact cohort & learn about their work shaping our communities.

My heart breaks for the murder of Hersh, Carmel, Eden, Ori, Almog and Alex. I've met with some of their families, their trauma is palpable, and I can't imagine the grief they must be carrying today.

This conflict has gone on for far too long and diplomacy is the only path forward.

Only a ceasefire will bring the hostages safely home and every day without a deal risks their lives, the lives of Palestinians, and every innocent life in Gaza.

I pray for their families and I will never stop pressing our leaders to find the political will necessary to end this conflict and the death, destruction, and suffering that it has brought.

To our workers:

Your work is essential.

Your lives are deeply valued.
And when we organize, we win.

Happy #LaborDay!

The labor strike and protests in Israel are a powerful act of solidarity and a reminder of our shared humanity.

Our destinies are tied and we need a #CeasefireNOW to end this conflict, return the hostages, and save lives.
.@FutureChefs uses culinary arts to teach our youth life skills.

I'm grateful for the Work they do to support our youth and empower them to become engaged community members.

Thank you to Dr. Elka and the team for having me!

The barbershop shooting in Dorchester this week & the shooting at Apalachee High School are heartbreaking.

And they're a reminder that gun violence remains a public health crisis.

We need meaningful gun violence prevention legislation to save lives & stop the cycle of trauma.

The public health crisis created by Steward CEO Ralph De La Torre is shameful & demands accountability.

But his refusal to come before Congress is the latest in a series of cowardly attempts to avoid responsibility.

If he doesn't show, he should be held in contempt of Congress.

It's unconscionable that women could be putting their health & lives at risk by using basic hygiene products like tampons.

I'm joining the @DemWomenCaucus to call on the FDA to take action to ensure the safety of tampons & protect those who use them.

.@SociedadLatina does essential work pouring into our youth & building a pipeline of Latine leaders in Mission Hill & beyond.

It was a joy to hear about their successes, challenges, & how we can strengthen our partnership.

And I'm proud to have one of their alumni on my A-Team!
