Congresswoman Lori Trahan

Proudly representing Massachusetts' 3rd District in the United States Congress.
Coverage means nothing without trust. It was great to join the Congress Hispanic Caucus Institute this past week to talk about the health challenges facing Americans today, particularly in Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and how we can work together to solve them.
Americans are worried about AI's catastrophic risks and are counting on Congress to take decisive action. My bipartisan FRONTIER Act establishes the clear, durable guardrails we need on this emerging technology.
Americans' concerns with data centers are real and they cannot be treated as an afterthought. (1/2)
At least 4.5 million Americans, including 1.5 million CHILDREN have lost SNAP benefits because of the Republican Big Ugly Law. (1/2)
Last week a powerful AI model broke out of a sealed testing environment, got onto the open internet, and hacked into another company’s live systems. All on its own. (1/2)
Today is World IVF Day. I'm a mom because of IVF. At times, it was grueling, and there were plenty of moments I wasn't sure it would work, but I wake up each day so grateful for my two incredible girls. (1/2)
Millions of Americans are battling fertility challenges. Anti-abortion politicians are making it worse. I introduced the Right to IVF Act so people have every chance to start or grown their family.
Like so many people in our country facing fertility challenges, my husband and I turned to IVF as our last hope to have kids. After years of appointments, injections, and setbacks, and thanks to our remarkable physicians, we have two beautiful daughters. (1/3)
House Republicans wrote a corruption bill that carefully avoids the most obvious corruption in Washington.
Two companies control 99% of U.S. smartphones. They charge developers up to 30% and block you from hearing about lower prices. Americans could save $8.9 billion a year if app stores had to compete. That's exactly what my bipartisan App Store Freedom Act would do.
Families shouldn't foot the bill to power AI data centers. Today I voted to advance the Ratepayer Protection Act to make Big Tech pay for the energy and grid upgrades their data centers demand, so hardworking families and small businesses aren't stuck with higher electricity bills. More 👇
Under Donald Trump and Republicans’s One Big, Ugly Bill, millions of Americans have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket, including 389,000 Massachusetts residents. Tax cuts for billionaires. Funding for ICE. Blank check for war in Iran. Nothing for healthcare.
Instead of using tonight's address to lay out a plan to make groceries, housing, or health care more affordable, Donald Trump spent it laying the groundwork to steal the midterms and ram through his partisan voter suppression bill.
Today, I voted for an amendment to eliminate $3.3 billion in military assistance funding for Israel in this year's national security funding bill. I want to be clear about why.
Under Donald Trump's Big Ugly Bill, 1 in 6 Massachusetts children on SNAP have lost their food assistance. That’s over 60,000 kids whose families are now living in fear of not being able to put dinner on the table.
As communities along the Merrimack River continue to recover from the recent sewer main failure in Haverhill, it's clear that local governments cannot shoulder the costs of expensive water infrastructure projects without reliable federal support. (1/2)
What started as the house dressing at a Framingham steak house in 1941 is now a family-owned company supporting 600 jobs right here in #MA3. It was great to see what Ken’s Foods is building here in Marlborough!
Happy Fourth of July! I hope you are able to enjoy time with family and friends as we come together to celebrate the 250th birthday of our great nation!
One year after Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, Americans have been left with an even bigger and uglier bill.
Last week, I asked folks across our district a simple question: What makes you proud as we celebrate America's 250th birthday? The responses were illuminating and a reminder of the very best of America. Happy 250 America!
In anticipation of America’s 250th birthday, I was proud to represent Massachusetts by helping decorate the Congressional cake with a DNA strain representing our state’s advancements in biochemistry and STEM. A small cake decoration showcasing a major contribution from the Commonwealth!
Apparently Republicans in Congress are too busy eating lobsters and ribeyes to care about affordability for the American people.
The most powerful AI companies aren’t waiting for Washington to catch up. They’re racing ahead developing even more powerful models, and the risks are growing with them. (1/2)
Donald Trump tried to erase the values of the Constitution and our nation with the stroke of a pen, and today he failed. I will keep fighting to make sure no family ever has to wonder whether the rights guaranteed by our Constitution can simply be signed away.
It’s been a year since Republicans in Congress passed their Big, Ugly Bill to kick millions of Americans off their healthcare and rip food away from hungry kids. As families pay more this Fourth of July, the GOP is throwing themselves a party. You aren’t invited.
Last week, Republicans fled town because they didn’t have the votes to pass Donald Trump’s voter suppression bill. A week later, Trump is still holding hostage a housing bill that would make homes more affordable, calling it a “YAWN.” (1/2)
For decades, NIH-funded research has unlocked treatments and advanced work toward cures for cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes and countless other conditions that devastate American families. That progress depends on scientists, not politicians, deciding which research holds the most promise. (1/3)
But they’ve been overlooked for far too long in our nation’s public health priorities. I introduced the HEADACHE Act to change that. Grateful to the patients and advocates who are in Washington today pushing to get this legislation across the finish line! (2/2)
More than 40 million Americans are living with migraine and headache disorders. They're the leading cause of disability in the world and for women under 50 years old. (1/2)
Donald Trump may not give a [bleep] about housing, but families struggling to keep up with their rent or mortgage payments sure as hell do. We can't let this out of touch president hold up the most consequential federal housing legislation Congress has passed in decades.
