From Massachusetts to Minnesota, our Somali communities are strong and vibrant. And no amount of hate from the occupant of the White House will change that. Proud to stand in solidarity with our Somali siblings in Boston and let them know we’ve got their back.

Survivors deserve so much better.

Black unemployment is still soaring—a crisis for our communities and a red flag for the health of our economy. @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social and I are requesting the Federal Reserve take action and deliver an urgent briefing to the Congressional Black Caucus about their efforts.

Trump thinks complying with the law means releasing entirely redacted Epstein files like this. This is a brazen cover up and deeply disrespectful to survivors. Pam Bondi must release ALL the files NOW.

Trump is violating federal law by blocking the release of the Epstein files—denying survivors the accountability they deserve. By defying our subpoena & now Congress itself, this White House continues to shield powerful abusers and their enablers.

Congress mandated that Trump's DOJ release all the Epstein files by TODAY. They must comply. Survivors have waited far too long for the accountability they deserve.

We have the votes to extend the ACA subsidies and save healthcare for our constituents TODAY. But Republicans would rather send Congress home, attack abortion care, & let premiums skyrocket. The shame and sham of it all. Speaker Johnson must bring this bill to the floor NOW.

Healthcare is a human right. Speaker Mike Johnson, the House is ready to vote to extend the ACA subsidies and save healthcare for millions. Let’s get it done NOW — no games, no delays.

🚨 BREAKING: We now have 218 signatures to force a vote to extend the ACA subsidies for 3 years. Healthcare is a human right. Speaker Johnson must bring this to a vote NOW.

Today, I reviewed some of the classified Epstein files. They were disturbing & hard to review—but even harder for survivors to have experienced. The DOJ must follow the law & release the files, with protections for survivors. Our march towards healing, transparency, & accountability continues.

Shameful. Unemployment is now the highest it’s been since 2021. And Black women's unemployment is at 7.1% compared to 4.6% overall. This is a five-alarm fire for Black women, Black families, & Black futures—& the broader economy. The Federal Reserve must address this crisis NOW.

NEWS: Today I released a new, first-of-its-kind report exposing Trump's Clemency Gap and how his pardons neglect those who need them most. The results are alarming, and shameful.

The Codman Square Health Center at Randolph High School is a commitment to the health & well-being of the Randolph community. I was proud to secure $1M in community project funding so families can access the care they need without leaving their community.

Chag Sameach, #MA7! Wishing a bright first night of Hanukkah to all! May these next eight nights be filled with peace, light, & joy.

The horrific attack in Australia is a senseless reminder that we must root out antisemitism & all forms of hatred everywhere. I’m praying for the families impacted, our Jewish neighbors, & those in mourning.

I’m praying for the lives lost, those in critical condition, & the Brown University community. More innocent lives stolen due to senseless gun violence. It’s long overdue that we treat this gun violence epidemic as the public health crisis it is.

This investigation is yet another baseless attempt by Trump to undermine Boston’s success. In Boston, we are committed to working towards safe, affordable housing for all residents. I don’t expect the most lawless & corrupt President of our time to get that.

AI is everywhere—and without civil rights protections, it can worsen the discrimination our communities already face. That's why Congress should pass my AI Civil Rights Act with @markey.senate.gov and @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social. We cannot allow AI innovation without AI protections.

Housing is stability, security, dignity, & a human right. I held an urgent roundtable to sound the alarm on how Trump's funding cuts to the Continuum of Care program & the delays in Section 8 payments are placing enormous strain in the #MA7.

I voted against Republicans’ $900 BILLION military spending bill.   It blocks healthcare coverage for IVF, bans DEI initiatives, undermines military readiness, and expands ICE’s power to attack immigrants. The public doesn’t support this bill and neither do I.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be home in Maryland with his family. Instead, the Trump Administration has been defying the law, court order after court order. They are forcing him through inhumane treatment. It's past time he comes home.

Healthcare is not a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. Republicans have made it clear: they do not care if people's healthcare costs skyrocket or lose healthcare altogether. They could have done something to tackle the healthcare crisis they created. Instead, they have failed millions.

@liccardo.house.gov & I are deeply concerned about the implications of this sale for data privacy, democracy & our media ecosystem. If Warner Brothers Discovery moves forward with this deal, there must be a thorough review & rigorous oversight that protects our communities & interests.

Rümeysa Öztürk should never have been ripped away from our Somerville community. I'm glad that she'll be able to continue her research, teaching, & service to our district while her case plays out. The Trump Administration must stop targeting her & restore her visa without delay.

While borrowers and families struggle with the cost of living, Trump just ended the most affordable student loan repayment plan in history. Republicans don't care about affordability and they never have. The shame and sham of it all.

Proud to work with @pressley.house.gov in demanding transparency and oversight.

It has been over 30 days since ICE descended on an Allston neighborhood car wash & abducted nine of our neighbors.  Hector, Vanessa, Felicita, Clarisa, Heidy, Dairo, Pablo, Jose, & Yuli.

Pregnant women are being detained & denied access to essential reproductive care. And the ability to raise families is threatened by Trump's unlawful deportation campaign. Our resolution affirms that nobody should be policed, and everyone should be met with the humanity & dignity they deserve.

We cannot allow AI to be the latest chapter in America’s history of exploiting marginalized people. That's why I'm joining @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social and @markey.senate.gov on a bill to help protect our civil rights and liberties in the age of AI.

Hey Massachusetts, LIHEAP applications are now open! If you need support paying utility bills or heating costs, there is help available to you. To learn more and to apply, visit the site here: www.toapply.org/MassHEAP

Pete Hegseth is unqualified & unfit to serve as Defense Secretary. He must resign immediately.

It's long past time we prioritize affordability, accessibility, & sustainability in public transportation — including through fare-free transit. That's why I'm leading my colleagues demanding Congress do just that in the next surface transportation bill.

This investment is meaningful—but economic justice cannot and must not depend on the benevolence of billionaires. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent must issue equitable guidance to ensure Trump Accounts uplift our most vulnerable families and not leave these children behind.

Healthcare is not a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. Democrats are united in extending ACA tax credits that have been a lifeline for families. Now we just need four Republicans of conscience to join us and help save healthcare for millions of people.

In communities like Allston, rogue, masked agents are terrorizing our immigrant neighbors—glorified bullies masquerading as public servants. They're abducting workers, violating civil rights, & ripping families apart. We must protect our communities and reject this cruelty at every turn.

That’s why today, I’m proud to stand with @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @repsummerlee.bsky.social, and @pressley.house.gov to introduce the AI Civil Rights Act.

I'm proud to join @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @jayapal.house.gov, and @pressley.house.gov in reintroducing the AI Civil Rights Act to make sure AI is fair and accountable to the people.

Unlike federal employees, federal *contractors* did not receive backpay when the government reopened. I'm still fighting to make sure they do. This isn't just a matter of fairness—it's about stability, dignity, & justice.

My district has already lost two hospitals. But Trump & Republicans' Big Betrayal Bill is threatening lives, care, and causing more hospitals to close.

Millions of people still lack access to HIV treatment & prevention services that save lives. And Trump's cuts to these programs have only deepened the hurt. On World AIDS Day, we recommit to creating a future free from stigma & #EndAIDS once & for all.

Black women are powerful. I’m grateful for leaders like Dr. B. Her mentorship & programming have helped so many Black women discover their why. I was proud to join her for a fireside chat that centered the voices of powerful women leaders.

The death of National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom is a tragedy and devastating loss for all who knew her. I condemn her murder, along with the exploitation of this tragedy to further advance hate, bigotry, and anti-immigrant policy. We cannot treat trauma with more trauma.

UPDATE: After nine months of unjust detention in an Israeli prison, Mohammed has been released. I met with his loved ones earlier this year, and I can only imagine the joy and relief they must be feeling. Praying for his healing and recovery, after months of inhumane treatment.

Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs. And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase. His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table. Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families. Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more. A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

I'm horrified and praying for the two National Guard members shot in Washington, DC, and their loved ones. No family should endure the trauma of gun violence, especially so close to Thanksgiving.

Haiti is grappling with an unspeakable humanitarian crisis that is worsening daily. To deport 350,000 of our neighbors back there is unconscionable & could be a death sentence. The Trump Administration must reverse course and stop operating with cruel disregard for human life.

I’ve long championed Baby Bonds as an investment in our kids' future and a tool to close the wealth gap. When the Admin issues guidance on Trump Accounts, equity must be the goal. That’s why I’m calling on Secretary Scott Bessent to ensure our most vulnerable families aren't ignored.

Remember, this is not just about sticking it to Trump or seeing how Republicans voted. This about real people. I was in a meeting with Rep Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) today and she said the survivors told her “we are the Epstein Files and we want to be released.” THAT’S what this is about. 13/

CDFIs keep urban & rural communities afloat and help everyday people build wealth. When we protect CDFI deposits, we support housing, childcare, healthcare, & more for communities and small businesses. If Republicans cared about lowering costs & growing our economy, they'd stop attacking CDFIs.
