The Court has affirmed what we already knew to be true: Paul Dama deserves to call the #MA7 home. After ICE abducted him, a vacuum was left behind. I am grateful to our community, who showed up in numbers to reciprocate Paul’s love and immeasurable contributions.
Accessible, high-quality early childhood education is essential to the success of our babies. With the White House attacking Head Start & gutting education resources, I’m proud to deliver $425K for the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center to keep supporting families in Chinatown & across the #MA7.

Shameful and cowardly. Trump wants the USDA to stop collecting data on food insecurity because he knows hunger will spike after his Big, Ugly Bill kicks millions of families off food assistance.
The Trump administration is ending a decades-long effort to track food security, calling it “politicized,” at a time when many Americans are struggling to get proper nutrition or enough to eat.
Cities and states deserve swift, reliable relief following a terrorist attack. After the Boston marathon bombing, our community knows that all too well. That's why we must reauthorize and strengthen the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act to support businesses & workers reeling from tragedies.
Ending TPS for Haiti could be a death sentence for families in Massachusetts and across the country. Our Haitian neighbors have contributed so much to our communities, and there is nothing temporary about them. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
I voted NO on Trump and Republicans' spending bill that will make families poorer, sicker & more vulnerable. We have a healthcare crisis thanks to their Big, Ugly Bill, which ripped away Medicaid from millions & will raise healthcare costs—& this bill does nothing about it. I won't be complicit.
Trump is unlawfully trying to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, without cause, so he can appoint a partisan loyalist. Now he wants his co-conspirators on the Supreme Court to help him. The Court must follow the law & reject this brazen power grab. Gov. Cook belongs at the table.
Breaking news: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. The unprecedented move would give the president greater power over the central bank and its role in steering the U.S. economy.
Trump's militarization of DC is not about safety. It's about suppressing Black leadership, stopping Black progress & criminalizing Black & brown youth. If Republicans actually cared about safety, they'd invest in prevention, mental health, & community-based supports that keep people safe. #FreeDC
Trump just inexplicably canceled the $20M grant we secured for the Roxbury Transit Corridor. This is a critical investment, allocated by Congress, that would improve the daily lives of commuters, enhance climate resilience, & strengthen our communities. This fight isn't over & we will push back.
The occupant of the White House is coming after our free speech. He wants to dictate what you can watch, what you can say, & what you can read. This is a five alarm fire for our First Amendment rights and anyone who cares about our democracy.
Trump & ICE are terrorizing our communities to the point that students are too afraid to go to school. Absolutely shameful. Criminalizing immigrant families does nothing to keep our communities safe, and our students, parents, & educators deserve better. www.wbur.org/news/2025/09...
The #MA7 is vibrant, diverse, and full of culture in part thanks to the rich Hispanic & Latinx communities who call it home. They are community leaders, movement builders, justice seekers, service members, & more — and I’m so proud to represent them in the halls of Congress.
