Fascist attacks on museums are not just about history, they're an assault on truth itself. That’s why Trump is working overtime to turn our museums into instruments of MAGA propaganda. He’s pressuring the Smithsonian to remove, whitewash, & rewrite our stories. But we won’t allow it.

My statement on the tragedy in Mattapan.

On Black Women's Equal Pay Day, I partnered with @itsafronomics.blacksky.app to make plain that attacks against workers begin & end with Black women. Our op-ed explores the parallel crisis Black women are facing in low pay & high unemployment and what Congress & the Fed should do about it.

I’m glad CFPB Director Vought is on his way out. But he needs to know exactly the harm he has caused to families. He gutted consumer protections, dropped settlements against predatory companies, eliminated medical debt relief, & made life worse for everyday people.

DEI policies have supported women in every aspect of their lives. That’s why Republicans are hellbent on emboldening greater discrimination & dismantling civil rights protections. Congress must codify gender equality & pass my bill to make the ERA the law of the land.

Preparing for the Netflix documentary about the leadership of Black women in Congress.

Americans hold $500 billion in medical debt, burdened by the most challenging crises in their lives. We used to have consumer protections to relieve that burden—until CFPB Director Vought rescinded them. His legacy will be one of hurt & harm. The people deserve better.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero should be alive today. A dedicated dad & husband, working hard to support his family, Joan should be here with his wife & his 3-year-old daughter. ICE agents executed him while his family watched in terror; forever traumatized.

The Black unemployment rate is alarmingly high, and our entire economy suffers as a result. When Black workers lose, everyone loses. That's why I demanded Fed Chair Warsh uphold the Federal Reserve’s mandate of maximum employment for ALL workers, especially Black workers.

Our parents are our first teachers. My mother was my shero and example. And I saw policies up close that made life harder for her daily. That’s why the Mamas’ Caucus agenda is so essential for our families to not just survive, but thrive.

For many, their wheelchair is a lifeline. My constituents shared with me how my FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act to remove burdensome requirements for wheelchair repairs would be essential to their mental & physical health, mobility, and everyday lives.

I’m proud to deliver essential housing resources to families in the #MA7 & throughout the country. This housing package & my four bills within it will bring necessary relief to families struggling to keep up with soaring housing costs. Learn more about what my bills will do:

Amber Nicole Thurman should be alive today. Republican abortion bans cost her life-saving care, and eventually her life. Her story is not an anomaly. We're fighting every day to save lives & fight for abortion care that is accessible & treated as the essential healthcare it is.

Donald Trump, sign the damn bill. Speaker Johnson, do your damn job. This housing bill is long overdue. It is needed. It is popular. It is important. Everyone needs housing.

Frederick Douglass’ speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” serves as a powerful reminder of our nation’s greatest contradiction—an exclusive democracy. As we mark America’s 250th we must remember: we cannot celebrate freedom while the U.S. denies it to millions.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

The lives, families, & futures of our TPS holders are not temporary. They make incredible contributions to our healthcare, hospitality, & construction industries. The SCOTUS ruling is a devastating comma, but it is not a finite period. We’re still fighting.

Wheelchair breakdowns can be traumatizing & dangerous—often limiting wheelchair users' mobility & access to work, school, appointments & more. My FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act is essential to livability & would streamline repair services by removing unnecessary paperwork.

I introduced an amendment to ensure that states have the authority to take action to improve consumer protections. And Republicans voted it down. Grateful Massachusetts is leading the way & protecting consumers who were victims of predatory earned wage access products.

We are witnessing a deeply concerning rise in human rights violations & criminalization of LGBTQIA+ individuals across the globe. It is incumbent upon the US to protect our LGBTQIA+ siblings at home & abroad. That's why I'm urging the State Department to take urgent action.

The implications of the SCOTUS ruling to allow TPS termination are nothing short of catastrophic. Seniors will lose their caregivers. Business owners will lose their staff. And children will lose their classmates. This fight is not over. The Senate must act.

The American people don’t need ballrooms, they need housing. The ROAD to Housing package—including my four bills—would tackle the housing affordability crisis head-on. We’ve passed this bill & we’re waiting on Trump to sign it into law.

Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I'm grateful to those who shared their abortion story with me & re-affirmed why abortion care is essential. Together, we're fighting for every person to have access to the care they need.

I commanded a moment of silence on the House floor to honor the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care. Everyday I will continue to fight for reproductive freedom in their name. Abortion care is a human right.

To the 1.3M TPS holders & their families: Your lives & livelihoods matter. Your humanity, dignity, & worth is not defined by the opinion of cruel, elitist, & wealthy conservatives on the Court or in the White House. America is still your home, and this fight is not over.

Denied care. Today I offer a stark and damning picture, not to dissuade us from the work ahead, but to call us to action. Let me be clear: abortion care is essential healthcare.

The most robust housing package in decades just passed Congress—& Trump is refusing to sign it into law. Instead of celebrating the ROAD to Housing, he's pushing us down the road to voter suppression. Trump must support this package—& my bills in it—to expand housing for all.

Abortion care is healthcare and a fundamental human right. Together we're pressing for true justice and liberation. For an America where every person gets the care they seek. Where abortion care is compassionate, accessible, and essential.

It was great to welcome Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aim & Ambassador Lionel Delatour to Boston. I’m proud to co-chair the Haiti Caucus & advocate for our neighbors. We have a moral obligation to support Haiti’s stabilization & save lives.

The story of our nation is incomplete without the ongoing work of liberation. This Freedom Day, let us honor our ancestors through joy, action, organizing, and reparative policies that bring us closer to freedom. Happy Juneteenth, family!
