The EPA is sitting on critical funds for lead pipe replacement—leaving communities in Massachusetts at risk. I’m leading the Massachusetts delegation in demanding the immediate release of these funds. No child should drink dirty water.
Gaza’s medical system is collapsing. Hospitals destroyed. Children without care.
I’m demanding the State Department act now to restore access to lifesaving treatment and release Palestinian medical workers being held without charge.
Health care is a human right.

Make no mistake—small nuclear tests are still nuclear tests. Even one U.S. “hydronuclear” test would give Russia and China the green light to conduct tests that pose a threat to our national security. Trump’s plan to resume nuclear testing is the starting gun for a new arms race.
Two months after Trump signed his TikTok executive order, there are still major questions about this supposed TikTok deal. I’m demanding full answers and transparency.
Trump is once again playing the role of Putin’s puppet—pushing a backroom deal that would force Ukraine to surrender territory it holds, slash its military in half, give up long-range weapons, and bar foreign peacekeepers. That’s not peace. That’s Putin’s wishlist.
The world is working on climate action without us—we are letting ourselves get left behind in the past as our competitors race to a livable future. But even this deal doesn’t do what needs to be done. We won’t stop fighting to protect our planet. Our future depends on it.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act turns 50 this month. But Trump's cuts to the Department of Education are threatening its future. I visited with students and educators at BC's Campus School to see firsthand why defending this funding is so essential.
RFK Jr. continues to spread dangerous misinformation that puts American children in harm’s way.
This is unacceptable. RFK Jr. must resign.
This week we celebrated Transgender Awareness Week, culminating in yesterday's Transgender Day of Remembrance to recognize the far too many trans lives lost to violence and suicide this year. We won't stop fighting until everyone can live as their true and authentic selves.
Workers deserve dignity—not predatory debt schemes. I joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social to demand answers from the Trump administration on its decision to walk back enforcement on coercive employer‑driven debt. Our economy can’t thrive when workers are trapped.
Coincidence? Nope—corruption, plain and simple.

Trump is rolling out the red carpet for offshore oil and gas—which will inevitably spill into the ocean and increase costs at home. Trump is doing this while sabotaging offshore wind, the energy source that does the exact opposite. He’s not “unleashing American energy”—he’s underwriting Big Oil.
