Today, I’m voting NO on the Republican reconciliation package.  Instead of reversing their cuts to SNAP or health care, Republicans are giving another $70 BILLION to ICE.  No reforms. No protections for our communities. Nothing to lower costs.

First, it was a TRILLION dollars in cuts to SNAP and Medicare. Now, Republicans are targeting Social Security and Medicaid.   The goal is the same: Tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to the programs that Americans pay into over their careers and need when they retire.

Note that this seems natural now, but was not obvious at all for a heavily Catholic state 30-40 years ago. It took dedicated and courageous effort.

I’m always amazed by the talent and grit of our community. Congratulations to Tyler Andrews from Concord, who just broke the record for the fastest ascent of Mount Everest. Truly a testament to his impressive determination and depth of experience!

There’s no better state in America than Massachusetts for people to live openly and freely themselves. I know it. You know it. And now USA Today has confirmed it to the rest of America.

As the daughter of a union ironworker and a former Division I volleyball player, organized labor and sports are at the core of who I am today. That’s why it was such an honor to speak at the World Players Summit, hosted at @aflcio.org headquarters!

Congratulations to all the seniors graduating from high school this spring! This is such a special moment for you and your families – the culmination of years of work. Your futures are bright, and you have an entire community of support cheering you on in your next chapter!

More than sixty years ago, the Supreme Court's decision in Griswold v. Connecticut established a principle that has guided us ever since: health care decisions belong to individuals and their doctors, not politicians. Today that principle is under attack. We will not go back.

Without a comprehensive federal strategy on AI, the most powerful corporations will set their own rules. We’ve already seen the devastating consequences of that approach with social media. We can’t let that happen again. We need a bipartisan framework, and we need it now.

82 years ago, over 73,000 Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Many never came home. Among them was Private Dominic R. Narciso from Foxborough, who gave his life so future generations could live in freedom. (1/2)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Natalie and her parents, Amelia and Will. Natalie is with us thanks to the amazing nurses, physicians and staff at Boston Children’s Hospital. I’ll always fight to make sure children like Natalie can access the high quality care they need!

Artificial intelligence models are getting more powerful each day. We need a national strategy that prioritizes safety and national security at the federal level while ensuring states can protect their residents from AI harms. It has to be bipartisan. We have to get this right.

Today we #WearOrange to honor every life lost to gun violence. As a mother, I’m committed to honoring those we've lost and fighting for a future where every child can grow up without the fear of a mass shooting in their school, at their local park or their house of worship.

The House passed War Powers legislation to end Donald Trump’s forever war in Iran and bring our servicemembers home. Now, Republican Senators must do the same.

What great news! Haverhill public schools were recognized for sustained improvement across literacy, mathematics and attendance. This is a testament to the students, teachers and district leaders working hard to make sure our kids have access to the best education possible!

The threats AI poses to our national security, safety and workforce are here and growing by the day. Congressman Jay Obernolte and I released draft legislation to protect workers, establish real accountability for the most powerful AI systems, and position the U.S. to lead on AI.

I’m on my way to the House Floor to vote YES on a War Powers legislation to end Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Two weeks ago, House Republicans pathetically pulled this resolution from the floor to buy Trump a few more days. Time’s up.

One of the best parts of this job is welcoming Massachusetts students to our nation’s capital and making sure they have the chance to see their government in action. It was great to meet with such an impressive group of students from Overlook Middle School and answer some of their questions!

Last week, I visited Oscar’s Taqueria and Thinking Flower Bakery in Boxborough to hear how federal investments helped them grow. Three years later, the impact is clear. We can’t wait for another crisis to act to get small businesses the support they need to succeed in our communities.

NEW: I just cosponsored War Powers legislation to stop Donald Trump from dragging American servicemembers into another foreign conflict – this time in Cuba. America cannot keep risking the lives of our troops for regime-change fantasies while families at home pay the price.

Rest in peace, Correction Officer Edwards. We are grateful for your 28 years of dedicated service to keep our communities and our Commonwealth safe.

This is what happens when Americans – regardless of their political affiliation – see something wrong and speak out against it in force. Donald Trump was forced to abandon the $1.8 BILLION slush fund for his friends and January 6th insurrectionists.

Today marks the start of #PrideMonth! This month is about celebrating the progress we've made and the work ahead to ensure every LGBTQ+ person in America can live openly, safely, and freely. They deserve nothing less.🏳️‍🌈

There’s no federal law on the books governing how the most powerful AI systems in the world are built, tested or deployed. No independent auditors verify their safety claims. No federal agency has clear authority to step in when something goes wrong. Congress must act now on AI.

$5 million in taxpayer funds to paint statues in Washington gold…seriously? Apparently, there’s no money to help families afford their health care or groceries, but they can waste money on this.

First, it was regime change in Venezuela. Then a seemingly endless war in Iran. Now, it looks like Cuba is next. When is Donald Trump going to focus on the issues facing hardworking Americans? When will he put forward an initiative to lower gas and grocery prices?

It was great to join the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce for their annual Congressional Breakfast! Rising gas, grocery and utility prices are hitting families and small businesses across our country. (1/2)

Since Donald Trump took office, ICE agents have been deployed into our communities with masked, unmarked cars and hidden badges. Kids are missing school, parents are missing doctor’s appointments, and entire communities are living in fear. I stand with @massgovernor.bsky.social.

Very cool to see Massachusetts native and New England Revolution goalie Matt Turner being selected for his second World Cup as a member of @usmnt.ussoccer.com

@sewell.house.gov is right. Republicans are rushing to dilute the voices of Black voters in Alabama and across the south. We cannot sit back quietly and let them turn back the clock. We have to stand with our fellow Americans and demand that others stand with us.

My dad was a union ironworker. His union made sure our family had strong wages, health coverage, and a roof over our heads. I grew up knowing what it means when workers have real power at the table. (1/2)

Trump's budget: Gut Americans’ health care to pay for $1.5 TRILLION for Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon. Over a month later, Republicans haven't said a word. Always money for war. Never for health care.

We know Massachusetts is home to some of the best donuts in the country. Now, we have a list to back it up, and it's pretty cool to see Dracut's Top Donut representing in the top 100!

I support a ban on members of Congress trading stocks. I believe that ban should also include the President, Vice President, members of the Cabinet, and their family members as well.

It was great to see so many folks at my Gardner Casework Clinic today!   Grateful to our local, state and federal partners who joined us to make sure Massachusetts residents are getting the help they need.   Stay tuned for more events like this one across our district!

Massachusetts knows the danger of PFAS more than most. That's why we know this decision to roll back federal PFAS safety standards is dangerous and misguided. More forever chemicals in our water won't make America healthy again.

Massachusetts just recorded its third straight year of declining overdose deaths, and in 2024, opioid-related fatalities dropped by more than 36%, the lowest level since 2013. (1/4)

From the Merrimack Valley to North Central to MetroWest and beyond, there’s no better place to raise a family than Massachusetts. That’s why we must ensure the next generation of Bay Staters can live, work and start their own families here. (1/2)

I’m proud to introduce the DONOR Milk Act with @delauro.house.gov to ensure that when a family is fighting for their baby's life, the safety of their child’s nutrition is one less thing they have to worry about. This bill is commonsense, and it’s the right thing to do.

📍Gardner | This Tuesday, my team and I will be on hand to help you! Whether it’s with a federal or state agency or another important issue, we can get you the assistance you need. No RSVP necessary! 📢May 26, 2026 11:00AM-1:30PM 🏢Gardner City Hall (Perry Auditorium)

JUST NOW: Republicans canceled a scheduled vote on War Powers legislation to end Donald Trump's war in Iran.   They knew they would lose, so they pulled the bill from the floor. Pathetic.

American taxpayers are already being squeezed by high prices at the pump and grocery checkout. Now they’re being asked to pay for a ballroom they’ll never see and the legal bills of January 6 rioters? I don’t think so.

Every year, the Congressional Art Competition reminds me just how much talent we have right here in the Third District. Congratulations to this year’s participants for having the courage to submit your art, and congrats to Nate Kim for taking home first place!

Congressman Barney Frank was as fierce as he was smart. He fought for his constituents, for our Commonwealth, and for a brighter future for our country. (1/4)

House Republicans are planning to vote THIS WEEK to send $75 BILLION to ICE. No reforms. No protections for our communities. Just another slush fund. I’m voting NO.

Massachusetts has strong laws in place to prevent animal cruelty. That's why it's infuriating that Republicans in Washington are trying to jam through a provision that would overturn our prohibition on keeping farm animals in extreme confinement. Proud to oppose this horrible bill.
