The Republicans’ budget bill that passed the Senate is nothing short of devastating.

And every Representative & Senator who voted to support it has let down the communities that elected them to be their voice in Congress.

My full statement:

Kitty Dukakis was an incredible role model in authenticity, transparency, and vulnerability.

Her deeply personal advocacy for mental health and substance use awareness helped remove the stigma & change our political discourse.

My heart is with Gov. Dukakis, John, Andrea, Kara, and their family.

Thanks to everyone who joined our town hall in Roxbury!

Trump & Musk want to rip away our rights and freedoms, and harm everyone in America.

But what do we meet a dictator with? Defiance. We fight back every time, using every tool we have.

This level of incompetence is damning and dangerous from our grossly unqualified Secretary of Defense.

This Women’s History Month, I visited the Harvard Kent Elementary School in Charlestown to read ‘ABC What Can She Be?’ 📚 

TY to Ms. Collings & her amazing Pre-K students for the warm welcome.

And a special shoutout to our educators, school psychologists, & librarians!

Last week, Trump revoked a policy prohibiting federal contractors from having segregated facilities.

Today, Republicans are opposing my amendment to ban segregation.

They literally want to take America back to Jim Crow.

This is a horrifying violation of Rumeysa's constitutional rights to due process and free speech.

She must be immediately released.

And we won't stand by while the Trump Administration continues to abduct students with legal status and attack our fundamental freedoms.

Celebrating with emojis in a group chat with a random journalist as they unlawfully authorize military actions.

The disregard for human life and national security is beyond the pale.

Everyone involved should be investigated by Congress and Pete Hegseth must resign immediately.

Fired employees.
Broken website.
Closed field offices.

Social Security is a promise that allows folks to retire with dignity.

But Trump and Musk are breaking it so they can give their billionaire friends tax breaks.

Tune in as we welcome Rümeysa Öztürk, our constituent, an accomplished scholar, and a beloved community member, back to Massachusetts.

Rümeysa Öztürk is back home in the #MA7 where she belongs.

Her unlawful detention was shameful.

We won’t stop until she’s fully exonerated, her visa is restored, and she’s free to keep serving our community.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today I'm thinking of the families who've lost loved ones to homicide.

TY @LDBpeaceInst for convening us at your annual Mother's Day Walk for Peace, a beloved tradition & reminder of the Work that remains to address gun violence & advance healing.
