Rather than working to protect American consumers and market integrity, my Republican colleagues are determined to push reckless crypto legislation that would enrich the crypto bros and the Trump family’s crypto business, despite clear conflicts of interest.
Our country is facing historic inflation, and President Trump’s reckless, on-again, off-again tariffs are sending our markets into a tailspin.

Special thanks to Dorchester native and MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell for his attendance and generous support to St. Brendan’s.
It was great to attend the Friends of Saint Brendan Gathering for Good Charity last night. Thank you to Patti Welch, John O’Toole, Frank Doyle, Father Joe White, Auctioneer Tom Tinlin, and the many volunteers for hosting a great event.
As a member of the House Oversight Committee and the House Litigation Working group, I will continue to fight against the Trump Administration’s extremist attacks against Democracy, the American people, and our right to vote.
Forcing someone to pay $130 to obtain a passport in order to vote is a poll tax.
The right to vote is sacred and guaranteed to all American citizens.
Today, I voted NO on H.R. 22, the so-called “SAVE Act”, which would place unnecessary burdens on seniors, veterans, servicemembers, women, and low-income voters.
As a member of @oversightdemocrats.house.gov , I will continue to fight against the Trump Administration’s attacks on the American people.
Today, @repschneider.bsky.social and I introduced the “DOGE Accountability and Transparency Act” which requires DOGE to submit a weekly report to Congress that details any changes it implements across federal agencies and identifies expected savings.
Since January, Musk has consistently lied and defrauded the American taxpayers and threatened attacks against veterans benefits, social security, and has gained access to secure data and information.
We must not allow Elon Musk to recklessly take a chainsaw to our federal government.
As a member of the Democratic Litigation Working Group, we will challenge this unlawful attack against K-12 education.
I joined the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation and Governor Healey in a letter calling for the Trump Administration to reverse this reckless proposal that will harm students nationwide.
This funding has already been approved by Congress and allocated by local schools across the country for tutoring programs, mental health services, health and safety improvements, and other critical programs and services that will benefit every student.
The Trump Administration just announced that it plans to revoke $2 billion in federal funding across 41 states for K-12 education - including $106 million from Massachusetts school districts alone.
Reposted byCongressman Stephen F. Lynch
The federal government cannot allow under-regulated financial products to infiltrate critical housing programs, especially when they have already proven to be dangerous, speculative, and harmful to working families.
Rep. Waters, @lynch.house.gov, and I are sounding the alarm.
In a letter to the Trump Administration, my Congressional colleagues and I are demanding full due process for Rumeysa Oztruk and immediate information on the circumstances of her arrest and detention.
