Beautiful day in Everett with my friend State Senator Sal DiDomenico listening to local entrepreneurs. Small businesses are the anchors of our community. With higher costs, supply chain issues, & fear of destructive immigration enforcement, we’ll keep defending & fighting for them to thrive.
Children should not fear going to school. Parents should not fear for their kids' lives when they kiss them goodbye. I'm heartbroken for the victims, families, & community at Annunciation Catholic in Minnesota. This pain is preventable. We must take action against gun violence.
BREAKING: Two children are dead and multiple people are injured after a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school and church, Minneapolis Police Chief says. The shooter died of a self-inflicted wound.
No parent should hear their baby cry from hunger and be powerless to feed them. Yet in Gaza, infants are dying while baby formula sits blocked at the border. Sec. Rubio must demand that Israel end the blockade and allow life-saving aid to reach families.
Imagine a military blockade stands between you & the ability to feed your hungry baby. That's the reality for parents in Gaza. @pettersen.house.gov and I are leading 101 Members of Congress demanding Sec. Rubio pressure the Israeli govt to surge aid and formula to babies at risk of starvation.

Catalina "Xóchitl" Santiago is a farmworker, DACA recipient, & beloved community organizer who helped undocumented immigrants get drivers licenses in Massachusetts. She was unlawfully detained while boarding a flight for work & is being targeted for deportation.

Babies in Gaza deserve to grow up. No child should cry out in hungry desperation. No child should endure the trauma of bombs overhead. No child should bury their loved ones. Ceasefire now. Aid surge now. Offensive arms embargo now. Baby formula now.
A graphic that reads: This is what parents in Gaza experience every day.

I joined my colleague & fellow mom Rep. Pressley to demand Sec. Rubio take urgent action. While steps are being taken to get more aid into Gaza, the US, UN & Israel must prioritize baby formula. As a mom, I can’t fathom the desperation parents face, every minute counts.

It is unconscionable for baby formula to be sitting at the border of Gaza as newborns & infants die of starvation. I joined @pressley.house.gov & @pettersen.house.gov in demanding Secretary Rubio facilitate aid and baby formula to enter Gaza.

On Friday night, I was thrilled to join my fellow @usprogressives.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov and @balint.house.gov at a Town Hall in Glens Falls to highlight the damaging impacts of the recently passed Republican budget and to present a more just, equitable vision for the future of our nation.
This is another baseless attack on a Black leader by the occupant of the White House desperate to distract from his failure to lower the cost of living. We stand with Governor Cook, and her unlawful firing cannot be allowed to stand.
Breaking news: President Donald Trump moved to oust Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook over unproven allegations that she committed mortgage fraud, ratcheting up his push to bend the independent central bank to his will.
We need the full, unredacted Epstein files — AND a Congressional hearing so survivors voices are centered. These are real people who were violated and robbed of their peace. Justice delayed is justice denied, & we cannot allow Republicans to continue shielding predators.
Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik hasn’t held a town hall in years. So we held one for her — to discuss how Republicans attacked Medicaid, slashed school lunch funding & made it harder to get essential healthcare.

First, the Trump Admin unlawfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a gulag in El Salvador. Now, days after he was reunited with family, they want to deport him to Uganda. This is another shameful violation of his right to due process & Trump must stop targeting him immediately.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who the U.S. wrongfully deported to El Salvador, was taken into ICE custody on Monday, his lawyer said, after the Trump administration indicated it planned to deport him again, this time to Uganda.
